Ho, Ho, Ho!

Yesterday, Santa Claus paid a visit to Connor's daycare and each child took turns sitting on Santa's lap, taking pictures and receiving a present. This was Connor's first encounter with the jolly fat man and he did pretty well...no tears or screams, although he does look like he's ready to take Santa on.

Happy Baby

Connor has been smiling and laughing up a storm lately. Of course, every time I grab the camera to record that cute little giggle, he stops laughing. This is the best I could get on camera.

He definitely takes after his dad and is a morning person. Of course, as hard as it is for me to get going in the mornings, Connor's laughs and smiles make it a little easier (that, and a Starbucks latte).

Jingle Bells

I'm lucky to work with very talented colleagues and am always impressed by the talents that they have, but that I don't always get to see in a work setting. Take my colleague, Caroline. She has a knack for taking pictures and we were lucky enough to have her take our photos for our holiday cards.

Here are a few that we love. These are really some of the first pictures we have with the three (four) of us as a family. Thank you, Caroline!

Splish Splash

The one thing we know about Connor, after almost three months of living with him, is that he loves bath time. Take a cranky, fussy Connor, put him in the water, and he immediately chills out. Maybe we have a water baby on our hands!

Here is a little footage of Connor enjoying his "me" time. Full disclosure: as with any bath time, there is always a little naked time.
