Wow so much has happened since my last post.  We made it through going to great grandma’s house.  Our next trip was to Lake Tahoe with Jeff, Mia, Nathan, and Grandma Kay.  This was Jack’s first trip to the snow.   We had such a great time.  Jack did very well while he was there.  I hoped he would since we packed the kitchen sink and all!!!  We stayed at The Marriott Timber Lodge which was very nice.  It was very convenient also since the Gondola was right out the side door.  Each room had a full kitchen, Laundry, and separate bedroom.  Jack did pretty good, although, Jack evidently asked Santa for his two front teeth for Christmas and that’s what he got!  Yes, he cut his two front teeth while we were there.  It made him a little grumpy at night nothing that Tylenol couldn’t tackle!  Jack really enjoyed being able to play with his cousin Nathan!!!  He didn’t waste any time learning how to share and play.  Jack brought his cell phone which Nathan really liked also.  Jeff, Amy and I took Jack and Nathan to Heavenly to get some play time and skiing lessons in for Nathan.  Jack really liked being in and playing in the snow with mommy and daddy.  Daddy bought a bright orange saucer that Jack could sit on.  Nathan did great with his first time skiing.  We are so proud of both of the boys.  While we were there, we opened some gifts and mom (Grandma) brought a small Christmas tree to celebrate with.   So, finished up with that trip which we felt was successful.  We held a Christmas eve party with roughly 25 people at the house!  Boy what a crowd.  We all had a good time though.  So what was next on Jack’s agenda you ask?…Walking!!  Yes Jack has found a new level of independence and is walking on his own around the house @ 11 months old.  This boy is full of surprises!  Jack has very good balance and is very cautious, but is willing to take a chance.  He still needs something to get him to his feet, but once he is there, he just lets go and goes.  He really doesn’t seem to be afraid of anything.  So to continue the saga, it is the new year and true to his goo goo gaga..he has come down with a cold and ear infection.  Another round of sleepless nights for mommy and daddy   We visited the doctor and she gave us Amoxicillin to help battle the infection.  We’ll see how it goes.  Well, that’s it for now.  Sorry for not posting more frequent, but I only get a little time in the evening to do anything.

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday and safe New Year.  Jack’s first birthday is right around the corner – January 30th.  I can’t believe how fast this year has gone.   But,  I look forward to this upcoming year as we watch Jack grow.  He is such a bright and curious little boy that doesn’t miss a beat.  Will post again soon.
