Bath time!

After some major blow-outs and several loads of laundry, 

I decided bath time would be a good ending to our crazy day! And while I didn't get many shots of him in the bathtub, he had a great time posing for me in his towel. 

Is he "hamming it up" or what?!?

Look who's sitting up!

 Yes, our little guy has mastered sitting up at 6 1/2 months old.

They say its a prelude to crawling...yikes! 

How did he grow so fast?!?

Little Bear

We spent some time at the YMCA after Christmas and these are a few pictures of our time up there.We thought this hat looked sooooo funny on Eric and for now he really doesn't mind it! :) 

Enjoying some cross-country skiing - thanks to 

Grandpa Geary who was happy to watch the little guy!

(Even when someone wasn't too thrilled with the idea!)

Christmas Cheer

May you and yours have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

"For today in the city of David there has been 

born for you a Savior, who is Christ the LORD..."

Luke 2:11

It's COLD here!

We went with my family to get a Christmas tree this past weekend. 

It is a long standing tradition - started by my parents when they were first engaged.

This was some of the most snow we had seen in awhile and it was sure COLD!

(If you are not convinced, see the last picture of my brother with frozen eyebrows!)

Needless to say, we left little Eric with Aunt Meg and Cousin Ben warmly at home. :) 

Our little driver

We returned home this week from a great road trip to Chicago to see family. 

Eric was a trooper! 

He slept a good part of the time and even took his bottles half cold! 

And now that he has had his first driving lesson, he might be taking over next time!
