SMILE! CHRISTMAS IS HERE!

Early Christmas morning Rock woke up his mom and dad with a big smile on his face.
We hung out in our bed (Cokie and Rocket's bed - we spent the night at their house) until everyone else woke up.

A Gift from Nana Kerry and Papa John

Rock got an early Christmas gift from Nana Kerry and Papa John. He liked peeking the bag almost as much as he liked the gift...

Which was a fun Baby's First Christmas ornament with his name and birth year on it! With this one, Aunt Valeta's YOU ROCK ornament and the two others he got this year, Rock's ornament collection is taking off!

Bottle: Take Two

Rock's second bottle feeding went a lot better than the first. This was due to the fact that Mom had nothing to do with it. Our freedom is in sight!

Cold Hands, Warm Heart

Nowadays we have to bundle up to keep warm when we go outside.
This interrupts Rock in his new favorite activity...
Putting his hands in his mouth.

Dad's Hair

Dad's hair tastes good.

Reaching

In December, Rock learned how to reach for things. Here he just grabbed the salt shaker. It's the little victories that count.

Nannying with a ROCK STAR!

Rock and I spent several days in December (and early January) nannying for a little girl named Siena who goes to my parents church. Rock loved swinging to sleep in her swing.
I love this onesie!
I think his eyes are changing to brown.
