My 1st Christmas!!!

At Christmas we got a picture of 4 generations - Great Grandma Koltenbah, Grandma Gibson, Daddy, and ME!Aunt Ela this is cool, I can't wait to play with this. Mom, Dad, can Aunt Ela come over and play soon?
I bought Grandma this book for Christmas, but I think I like it just as much as she does.
And I bought Papa this book for Christmas...
And this book from Grandma & Papa tastes great; less filling too.
Look what Santa brought me! I'll have to practice saying these, but so far I can only make the sound of a few.... Aaahhh, Bbbbbaaa, what's next?

Papa when do we open more presents, this is fun!
Uncle Jim got me a Harley book; he better not be teasing me about my first ride this spring.
Look what I found, Santa's hat. Rumor is I'm heir to the north pole.
But I've got to start as an elf...

I'm just so excited, maybe it's all the cookies and MILK?
Grandma Smith, what's in here anyway?
Daddy reads me the best stories and now I have so many more books to read.

Grandpa Smith got me all sorts of toys for Christmas. I think he's anxious to take me on my first fishing trip.
Then they introduced me to Neve, she's cute and even gave me a little kiss. Mom, Dad, stop with all the pictures.
I'm not sure I'm ready for any more kisses, girls have kooties!
Wow, my first present - I think I could get the hang of this.
Thanks for all of my presents Mommy - I love you!

I'm hanging on just in case it scares me. You never know what might be in these packages.
Wow, let me tell you a story about my first Christmas... It was this big!
Papa and Grandma got me my first set of wheels. Check this thing out, it's even got a trunk!
I keep trying to get it started, but it just won't quite go yet. :)

Santa Claus!!!

It was bath time before seeing Santa and I was ready to rock it out.

Aunt Ela, Grandma, and Mom with ME.

Santa said I could get a boat for Christmas did you hear that Mom, did you hear it?!

I really like it when Grandma holds me.

How do you drive this thing Santa? Hey I thought you had a sleigh anyway...
Do you see a resemblance to Kris Kringle? Am I heir to the North Pole?

I've been quite busy lately.

It doesn't seem quite right to me either, but what do I know?

Okay Dad, when Mom said to get me ready I really don't think this is what she had in mind!

I get to eat cereal because I'm this big. (27.5" long and 14lbs 13 oz.) The doctor told me I'm in the 97th percentile for height, where did that come from?

This is serious business and I never realized how difficult my tongue was going to be.
This is neat, but where is the bottle?
Bath time after my first attempt at some "real" food.
Okay I agree that was pretty fun Mom and Dad.The lights always intrigued me, but I'm starting to dig these ornaments too.

My half grin is when I'm getting ornery. It's starting to show more and more!
Is anyone watching me? What if I roll off of here?
I think I can eat my entire hand - when does the circus come to town?!

Getting Ready for Christmas...

Does this diaper make my butt look big?

Hi, I'm the cutest baby ever! (well that's what mommy and daddy tell me)
Yes I'm sitting up, but do you notice how close mommy's hand is to me? ;)
Oh and if you thought mommy's hand was close in that other picture, you've got no idea here...
This photography stuff is fantastic - did you get that one dad?
Santa's not coming for another month? Are you kidding me?!

Thanksgiving

Aunt Christel and Uncle Jim got a kick out of me, but it took me a while to warm up to that beard... Uncle Jim promised a motorcycle ride next summer and said he would help me buy my first dirt bike!

Thanksgiving sure smelled good, but mommy and daddy wouldn't let me taste any.
Great-Grandma told me all sorts of interesting stories.
Everyone just kept talking... I didn't know which way to look?
Mommy teased me when she brought me over by the table and I thought I might get to sit with all the adults and finally have some real food.
Papa knows just how I like to lounge and get ready to watch some football!
I'm ready for that tractor ride; lets go!
