December 2012 - Finals, Flying, Family, and Fun

Well, let's see what I can remember from December. I've meant to blog for awhile but it seems like we've been off our schedule since Christmas break. We need to get pictures from family from Christmas because we mostly relied on them.

A few highlights from December:

 My dad came to visit us for a few days. Jack enjoyed getting to play with Grandpa and even seemed to remember him when we went to my family's house for Christmas. It's always nice to get visitors here.
Jack finally started crawling quickly, pulling himself up on things and cruising around on the furniture. As you can see he enjoys it very much.
 He seems a bit tall though for some toys. He doesn't need to walk around toys to play with different parts; he just leans over.
 We had Christmas a few days early so we didn't have to take presents across the country. Here is Jack "Christmas" morning excited to have a normal day. He had no idea what was going on.
 Here are some cute headphones Grandma and Grandpa got Jack. They have tigers on the ears. You can see he matches his monkey very well.
 Here are all of Jack's presents. It took him awhile to learn to play with most of them but it's been fun to have new things for him to learn.
 Here is "Christmas" at the Hooton house a few days late so we could get all the family there. This is Jack's favorite friend. The whole bear was knit by one of my mom's co-workers. It's super cute and Jack instantly loved it.

We spent most of December just hanging out with family and getting to catch up. It was so wonderful. We survived finals, flying, and even family. We are excited to much closer next Christmas although we will miss having Quincy all day for four weeks.
