We were at walmart and I couldn’t resist plopping this santa hat on his head and snapping a pic… 3334

Baby’s First Christmas

We decided to celebrate Tyler’s first christmas on Christmas Eve, and give him his presents then.  Of course, as we suspected, he had loads of fun tearing up the paper, before he even got to his toys.  He really loves the ball popper he got, courtesy of Auntie Pat.

Of course, this game doesn’t even actually require water, as we found out this morning.  Kevin was brushing his teeth… Continue reading Bathtub Gymnastics
