Santa's Little Helper Part Two

James doesn't mind the fuss we've made of him donning his little Santa suit for the holidays. Auntie Megan - his papparazzi photographer extraordinaire - wanted to capture him in his element and visited us several weekends ago to capture a few shots of him in his holiday get up. The pictures she took are priceless and we think you'd agree he's a handsome fellow. He even managed to say hello to the big guy himself and I think was quite amused - so much so he lost part of his lunch (see picture #2) :)

Visit with Santa and Holidazzle

This past Sunday evening we visited Macy's 8th floor display, met with Santa and watched the Holidazzle Parade with our friends Rob and Liza and their son Elliot.

James and Elliot gave their wish lists to Santa and James took his inaugural light rail train ride as well. It was chilly - in case you couldn't tell, but being the snuggler James is he didn't mind being all bundled up under Daddy's jacket.

Baby's 1st Christmas at Church

Our church celebrates Christmas a little early for families with little ones. Mom and James attended the "Baby's 1st Christmas" event this past Sunday where they met other families, made ornaments and James took his turn laying in the manger. Little did James know that he was practicing for the big day as he is going to be baby Jesus at church on Christmas Eve. It was a fun event to get in the holiday spirit and reflect on the reason for the season. We look forward to the upcoming holiday and establishing our own family traditions this year as the three of us celebrate James' first Christmas.

An Update on my Stats

James had his 4 month baby check up yesterday and he is doing well. He now weighs 13 lbs 4 ozs and is 25 inches long. He's grown five inches since birth! He did well with his shots yesterday too - no crying this time. Guess he's learned to be a tough little guy already! More adventures to share soon - the busy holiday season is just underway. Have a great weekend everyone!
