Lots of Holiday Pics!

The holidays have been a lot of fun for Jack - traveling to the East Coast to visit his Philly family and then heading to Modesto for Christmas with the Damrell clan. Here's a handful of fun pics we've taken over the past few weeks. Jack hopes everyone had a great Christmas and will have a happy and healthy New Year!!!

Jack's Third Month

So Jack is now three months old and his third month was a big one. He celebrated his first Thanksgiving (first 5 pics below), started getting ready for Christmas, including meeting Santa (!!) (next 4 pics), and, most important, was baptised (last 3 pics). Next week we're heading to Philly so that he can meet the rest of the family, and we're all very excited. We hope everyone is doing well and is enjoying the holiday season!

Weeks Six and Seven

Here are a few pics that cover the past two weeks, which have been very busy for Jack. He welcomed his new cousin Elizabeth Ann McKeon ("Eliza") into the world and he celebrated his first Halloween. I included a few other fun pics just for fun - note the drool on the "You make me drool" shirt...

The First Five Weeks

Sorry it has taken me so long to post! The first month has gone by so quickly! We have hundreds of pictures, but given that I can only post so many, I picked out some of my favorites, from birth up to this week. You'll see many of Jack's firsts here - his first trip to a winery, his first trip to Tahoe, his first toy, and even his first milk date with his friend Natalie. I'll try to update the blog once a week now so that everyone can see his progress. Overall, Jack is doing extremely well and Jim and I could not feel any more fortunate as parents.
