Hangin' with Grandma & Pops

Mom and Dad went on a trip to San Francisco a few weeks back and Grandma & Pops were nice enough to come down from Dallas to watch John-Henry. They had lots of fun at the park and around the neighborhood.

Christmas...finally!

Mom has been a little slow on the blog updates...here are a few pics from a wonderful first Christmas! John-Henry started crawling 2 weeks before Christmas which made for lots of new fun!

We started off in Austin at Grandma & PaPa's place:



Then we dashed off to Dallas to see Grandma, Pops, Uncle Jeff, Aunt Jenni, Rev & Sadie:

Family Portraits

While Uncle Jeff, Aunt Jenni and cousin Revelie were here we had family portraits made.

Mirror, mirror

After bathtime, you don't want to forget to check your look in the mirror. That would just be embarassing.

Swamping 'em

The box came on Thursday.

That was while Daddy was away in the Chugach Mountains.

It was signed from Great-Grandpa Ed, and it said to always cheer for the Redskins. Thanks Great-Grandpa (and his surrogate, good ol' Aunt Linda)!
On Sunday night, I stayed up late and cheered real hard.
But the Redskins proved so weak, uninspired and ultimately injury-prone that I eventually cried myself to sleep long before the 24-10 punishment was over. I'm learning that my inherited fandom promises to leave a lot to look forward to!

Deck the Halls

We decorated John-Henry's first Christmas tree on Sunday - he even helped mommy put the star on top. JT is really fascinated with the lights - they are so pretty and sparkly.

John-Henry wasn't quite sure what to think when we presented him with the turkey leg...he was perplexed to say the least.
