Let it Snow!

It amazes me every time I log on to this blog how long it's been since I've updated it! Life really does get in the way sometimes :) I can hardly believe Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is right around the corner. We have a new resident at our house. His name is Christopher Popinkins and he's an elf straight from the North Pole. We've decided we need a Christmas elf for every season because knowing that someone is reporting back to Santa has kept a certain little girl on her best behavior! It's amazing the places where he can hide. Chris is having way more fun with him than Meredith is!

Jack has been on solid food for about a month now and loves everything but peaches! So far, he's had bananas, apples, sweet potatoes, squash, peas, carrots and green beans. He loves solids so much that we try not to put our hands near his mouth during mealtime for fear of losing a finger! His weight at last check was 22 lbs, 4 oz. He and Mere are officially now wearing the same size diapers.

Here are a couple of pics from the last month:

Picture from our greyhound tea party. According to our hostess, Mia likes lemon in her tea, while Philly prefers honey. They drew the line when Meredith got out her dress up clothes.

Before bed a few nights ago--the second one is my favorite. Meredith climbed up next to Jack and said, "Mommy, you take my picture with Baby Jack. We say 'Cheeeeese!'" In reality, Mere said "Cheeeese!". Jack is saying, "Oh crap. Don't let her sit on me again!"
