Jacob: Month 2

When your 2nd month of life is December 20 - January 20, everything around you is consumed by Christmas celebrations.  In my family, we also have 2 birthdays (my dad and my grandmother) during that time frame.  I already told you about the baptism that happened this month too.  It was a busy month.

Last year, I didn't make it very far in my sorting through and posting about Christmas.  I promised several chapters, and when Chapter 2 didn't happen until the end of February, I just kind of gave up.  (In fact, that was the last time I posted until Rebekah's birthday, and I didn't even ever post about her actual party!)  Anyway, this post is supposed to be about Jacob, and the point is that I knew if I wanted to do a 2 month post on Jacob, I had to get through all the Christmas photos this year!

This is a HUGE album of photos.  We celebrate Christmas big time...setting up the tree, visiting Santa's village in Richardson, checking out the trains at Northpark (usually more than once), making cookies, making gingerbread houses (a new tradition this year), seeing Santa at Northpark, spending lots of time with family, going to Mass, and having some time for our little family to celebrate at our house.




If you can make it through all 237 (literally) photos, please feel free to check it out:

Here's a couple of Jacob Christmas highlights!








Jacob's 1st Snow!
 
As for Jacob, he was 10lb 4oz at his 2 month appointment (6%).  His length was 22.75" (32%), but I actually think they mis-measured that because he had been in the 77-80% range on height before.  He is starting to smile and definitely likes to hold his head up as long as he can so he can to check out the world.  This sweet little boy is so loved by his sweet big sister, and is a joy to see the two of them together!

We have a few more Jacob photos posted in the album below, and of course, the Jacob and the Raccoon photos have been updated!
