Before Christmas our family had the opportunity to have some professional photos taken.  Here are a few of my favorites from that photo session.  He was nine months old at the time of these photos.  Enjoy!

Catching you up.

Here begins a series of entries that will attempt to chronicle the important (and not so important) events for us over the last few months.  We'll start tonight with a little from before Christmas.

This is what I get to see every morning when he wakes me up... except this doesn't fully appreciate the fact that he is jumping up and down and talking or screaming loudly.  At least he's usually happy!

For the first haircut we went to a professional (we'll talk about the second haircut later).  She did a great job and he didn't mind at all!

Here's the little guy helping me wrap Christmas presents.  (He has sure grown a LOT since then!)

He was very serious about the whole operation.

One of my favorite memories of him at this stage is when he would play with his toy drum and sit and bounce to the music.  But I can't find that video right now, so I picked something else equally memorable--this is one of my favorites!  Hope you enjoy!!!

Waiting for cake!

On his actual birthday he got ice cream!
