Happy 10!


The big 1-0! 10 months old, I can hardly believe it. Gone is the little cuddly baby and in his place is a rambunctious, happy, energetic almost toddler. Though you've had your fare share of ear infections this past month, the new year started off bright. To help with keeping you healthy, we've decided to take you out of daycare for the time being. Ms. Yvette was very sad to hear you are leaving, but daddy and I think it's the best thing for you in the end. You've got a great new babysitter, named Becca who comes to our house to watch you.

This month certainly has been a busy one! You say "mama", "dada" and lots of other "ba", "ga" and "ka" sounds. You're a pro crawler and as the video below shows, have started in on walking (with some help from your school bus). You're also really getting into table food, to the point where you tried to climb on top of your leapfrog table to get to the pretzel bowl!



We also celebrated your first Christmas - we had visits from everyone! Aunt maureen and uncle
Josh came to visit on their way to CT; grandma, grandpa, aunt kris and uncle mike came on the 23rd and nana and pop-pop were here at the end of the week. Below are some photos and video of you enjoying your first Christmas.

Merry Christmas!





 We also made a trip to Maryland for you to meet your great-grandma miesmer (also knowns as Gee-Gee). We had a fun visit - despite the fact that you REFUSED to take a nap.

Oh my goodness Jack - you are getting to be such a little boy! I look at pictures of you and can see a 5 year old. We had such a nice time with you on our trip to MD -- I know G.G. really enjoyed meeting you -- not everyone gets to have a great grandmother -- how lucky are you??? While we were in MD, I gave you a bath (you are quite the comic in the tub), we went for a very long walk to the bottom of the hill to get the newspapers, and Pop-pop and I took you for a car ride to get you to sleep. Once you fell asleep, we drove back to G.G.'s, pulled in the garage and let you sleep in the car! I do hope you get over this refusal to sleep anywhere but your crib (you are your mother's son, by the way!), because I want you (oh, you can bring your mom and dad) to visit Pop-pop and me in CT.

Love you little guy - Nana

Hey Jack -- forgot to mention -- I love your basketball routine! Getting ready to head to a Final Four with your mom and me?? Of course, you know you will have to wear your UConn Shirt!
