Christmas Fun



We bought Truman only three gifts, but combined with the generous presents from all of our relatives, he was overwhelmed and needed a 70-minute nap between opening sessions! Here he's investigating the very cool Hess truck from Grand Judy and Pop George. It even has its own digger that goes backwards and forwards and has blinking lights. We didn't realize it moved until it started rolling under the couch. I think I was more excited about this than Truman. (Oh, and please excuse his coughing. He's getting over a cold...)

We hope everyone had a great holiday!

Merry, merry


We decided to buy a Christmas tree even though Truman has become a crawling, pulling-up maniac. Once we decorated it, put out the stockings, and brought out the manger set, things really felt festive. Thanks, Grand Judy and Pop George, for Truman's stocking and holder!



The tree in detail. We realized that we haven't had a tree in three years, so we discovered bags of post-Christmas sale ornaments that hadn't been used before. It's a Christmas miracle!



Our daycare dollars at work: our first homemade Christmas ornament. (That's a photo of Truman painting the ornament, which explains why he's shirtless. Sort of. As far as we know, he's usually fully dressed at daycare.)

Truman in Action



We purchased a walker recently, but Truman's still partial to this homemade toy. Go figure. (A neck brace isn't far behind...)




Waiting for Luther to come back from his morning walk....
