Christmas with the Vendel's

A Family Affair

Jackson's First Photo Session

A couple of Jackson's better moments on Saturday. Our friend Neil came over and took some (just 500!) great shots of him. He was such a good boy and loved having his picture taken. There were so many great pictures I still can't figure out which are my favorites. I guess when it's your child they all look priceless!

Who's Got a Milk Gut?

See the Milk Belly? We just love it!

Picture Perfect

Jackson loves to hang out w/ Mimi and Grandpa...Grandpa is one of the few men (aside from Daddy) that Jackson is comfortable with. I guess because he's with women all day at day care he hasn't had much exposure to men. He sure does get a kick out of Grandpa Bob now! Just a glimpse of him and Jackson gets a smile on his face :)

Dress Up Day at Day Care

Mid-November they had dress up day at day care where the photographer brought in costumes for the kids and took pics. Jackson was a chili pepper! Probably the cutest chili pepper I have ever seen (not that I'm biased at all...).

A little angel

His two top teeth are coming in now. They look really big. Cole wants to start calling him "Bucky" Vendel... I hope he's kidding but I'm pretty certain that he isn't. But man are those teeth looking LARGE. He's been pretty fussy because of the teething...but has maintained his charming disposition through it all. Hopefully they'll coming through in their entirety soon!

Everything Looks Better in Black & White

There's Nothing Wrong With Living With Mommy & Daddy

I saw this tee-shirt at Target and spent the rest of my shopping trip cracking up. I had to buy it for him; couldn't resist!

Jackson the Elf

It keeps him warm.
He doesn't fuss when I put it on him.
It fits.
We'll continue to wear it.

Passed out

It may seem that he sleeps in this hat and jacket quite frequently...but it's not that we're too lazy to change him before nap time, it's that we know the if an attempt is made to move him in any way nap time is spoiled. And if you are a parent, you know just how valuable nap time can be! Don't wake the baby!

Giving It the Old College Try

Although distracted from time to time by Harley the Dog, Jackson is trying his best to get going on the crawling. He has gone backward, rolled around, army crawled and "jumped" forward, but hasn't crawled just yet. We're expecting it to happen any day now!

Oh, and guess who has his 2nd bottom tooth in now?? :)

Just Like Daddy...

Well, his Daddy is never caught without a hat unless at work, so I guess it's only appropriate for his son to wear a hat all the time too. It may be a little big but at the rate he's growing it will fit in no time!

The Halloween Monkey!

It's too appropriate for our little man; he truly is the little monkey boy!

Herringbone Anyone?

Although he opted to sleep through most photos of him in his lil' suit, he still looked adorable! Such a little charmer I tell you! Oh, and that 2nd tooth has finally come through! Hopefully it's smooth sailing from here on out!
