Thanksgiving

We went back to Florida for Thanksgiving this year.  Each year the house gets a little smaller, or maybe we just keep adding occupants.  Last year I was about 5 months pregnant with Jack, this year there were 2 little ones "running" around... so Mads was running around, Jack was just sitting around.  The plane ride down was uneventful, the plane wasn't full, and we had a seat between us.

Jack had a drink:

Or two....

We went to breakfast on our last day there, Craig had the omelet special.  It had escargot in it.  He ordered it, not one of us batted and eye.  After he was pretty much done, I finally said something along the lines of how I couldn't believe he ordered a snail omelet.  He gave me a look like I was crazy, and I finally asked him if he knew what "escargot" was, he said he thought it was a sauce.  It was hysterical.

We went to the beach on that last day as well, Jack loves the sand and water.

A Christmas Photoshoot

We attempted to get some "Christmas Card" worthy pictures, Jack wasn't interested.  Here are a few share able pictures from the attempt though.

A New Toy

I've heard that kids like playing with the boxes more then they toys that came in them, but I can honestly say I didn't expect the current favorite toy to be something we'd have in Jack's toy box.  When visiting Great Grandma Gesie Jack liked playing with her oxygen tubing.  She gave Jack his own tube, and he pulls it out all the time to play with.

Just Like Dad

Other than the fact their farts smell the same (yep, I know), and Jack has started doing this nose scrunch thing, that I finally figured out is the same face Craig makes when he comes home and is all excited to see Jack, and that they both give me this look... even though he can't talk, Jack looks at me the same way when I do something dumb that Craig looks at me when I say something dumb.  Oh, and the fact they both think that someone is going to steal their manhood and need to constantly verify its still there...  They have matching outfits.

Jack is ready for a future with Ryan Lawn and Tree.
