Now that we’ve got a bit of fresh snow, we were able to test out the new sled – works like a charm. James seemed to enjoy his first (very brief) sled ride around our tiny back yard.

Photos from Christmas Day
Christmas Day has come and gone, but the photos from Christmas #1 with James are finally here.

James and Michele
A cute shot of James and his momma just hanging out on the couch. In the last few weeks, he’s become a little more willing to sit on our laps … or at least climb all over us while we’re sitting. He’s still the busiest of busy bodies, and always has to be fidgeting with something.

Smiling James
James seems to know when to flash his smile. Before long, I expect that there will be a few more teeth in there, but for now he’s still only got two of them.

Merry Christmas from Frank and James
In late November, we did a photo shoot with James and Frank, with the goal being to get a decent photo for our 2012 Christmas card. It worked, though sadly for Frank, our puppy got Photoshopped out of the final version of the photo. Now that most of the cards *should* have arrived at their final destinations around the world, we figure that it’s time to show them online. Hope you like the cheesy sweater and fireplace theme.

James the Shredder
James – 1, Kleenex – 0
Michele (er … Santa) got James a cute little toy set for Christmas that has a hammer and pegs. He’s been banging and clanging things for months, but so far he hasn’t done a lot of banging with the hammer. That’s not to say that he doesn’t love to crawl and stand with the hammer in his hand though. For now, we’re enjoying the relative quiet of his hammer time.
James seemed to enjoy his new ball popper toy – he knew which button to push to start it up, and where the balls were stored. Seems like an intuitive user experience to me … and a fun toy for James. Thanks, Tita Ricca!

First Christmas
James seemed to enjoy his first Christmas morning of opening gifts, playing with new toys and trying to drink some beer. It’s a pattern that I’m sure we’ll see repeat itself many times over.
The baby giggles are back again. James couldn’t stop laughing at my low-grade duck sound after a bath recently. Once again, he was laughing so hard that he made himself cough.
