The First Six Months

I thought I would pay tribute to J-man as he has reached his 6 month milestone..My husband had the nerve of pointing out that Jace is now closer to 1 year than being born. Time has flown by.. to fast might I add.I may not be the most objective person on the matter, but he sure is cute.

Bathtime

Jace thoroughly enjoyed his bathtime.. especially now that he is not sitting

in the baby tub anymore..plenty of room to splash. (I am sure the bathwater is less concentrated with pee now.. or at least it is more dispersed.)

 

Hanging with Big Sis

Addie & Jace had some alone time this morning..

he enjoyed hanging with his big sis..

Jace's Baptism

We celebrated Jace's Baptism this evening.  I didn't make him wear the hat until afterwards..(my mom says he looks just like me when he has the hat on..)

Eric & Tiff were chosen as Godparents.. as they have been for each of my kids. He was absolutely perfect, I couldn't have asked for it to go better.

growin' & eatin'... eatin' & growin'

Jace started on cereal a few months ago, and now has gotten into some of

the veggies too.  As you can see, he LOVES carrots, as well as peas and green beans... he tends to get very vocal if I dont feed him fast enough.

 

 

Can you say R-I-V-A-L-R-Y???

Merry Christmas! My parents gave us tickets to the Vikings vs. Packers game on Dec 30th..

The VIKINGS WON... and we had the opportunity to see them play in their last game at the

Metrodome! It was a blast.. more for me than for Shawn I am guessing.. (although he was still quite cocky on the way home, making bets with our friends and some of my relatives on who would win at Lambeau Field the following week..)

yeah... we all know how that turned out... Damn Webb!!!

Have a Holly Jolly Xmas.. It's the Best Time of the Year!

 We spent the weekend before xmas with my in-laws, Kathy & Sonny..

 I got to meet my new nephew, Austin James.. how sweet he was!

Take a look at these proud parents (Jesse & Larissa).

 On Christmas Eve we spent the night with the kids. We went to mass,

had dinner, and opened presents.  Then came time for pictures in their xmas pajamas.

They went to bed like little champs, hoping they would get a visit from Santa!

 Christmas Day we spent with my parents, brother & sister-n-law, and nieces.

 No, this wasn't planned.  Evidently I am now dressing my son

like the toys.

 My parents and the kids....

Christmas Day ended with the kids having a sleep over at Amma & Boppa's house...

they started on the floor watching Madagascar 3...

but then ended up in the bed...
