The Bumbo Chair

What a great invention this is! James love his Bumbo chair and I highly recommend it for anyone who has an infant. James loves to sit in it and play or look at himself in mirror. It also works very well for feeding. We gave James his first taste of rice cereal this week...and he loved it!

Deck the Halls

The house is looking so festive these days that I thought I should share our Christmas spirit on the blog.

James even has a Christmas tree in his room!

Baptism

James was baptized today and we had lots of family and friends here with us to celebrate this happy occasion. Grandma and Grandpa Wolff sent the baptismal outfit since they were unable to make it. James had Aunt Tricia, Aunt Susan, Uncle Cory, Aunt Jamie, cousin Kaylynn, Grandpa and Grandma Kroetch, and Carmen, Preston, and Sophie with him on his special day.

Of course we took some pictures after the ceremony.

Thanksgiving

Here it is a week into December and I am finally getting around to blogging about Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful holiday and got to give thanks on two days! Preston and Carmen had Thanksgiving early this year and then we celebrated at our house on Thanksgiving day.

And on at our house, James wore his monkey outfit and was up for posing for lots of pictures. In the first one, he really looks like Doug.

And finally, we got a new front for our fireplace. I felt this was blog-worthy since it looks SO much better than the old 1970's gold one. We've been using the fireplace alot this winter.
