Your first Christmas and an update

Christmas was a very exciting time for our family - it was Jack's first! Santa didn't get him too many presents because he knew everyone else was going to go overboard - he got so many toys he doesn't know what to do with just yet. It all went by so quickly and then it was over. Jack was such a trooper though - between being passed around to family on Christmas Eve and all the presents on Christmas Day, he still managed to sneak a few naps in and hardly a cry out of the little guy - he's such a good baby. New Year's Eve came and gone as well - we just stayed home and enjoyed our little family's company. It's sad to think that in 2007 you were born and now it's over - but 2008 will be very exciting as well.

He's back to sleeping through the night now - there were a couple weeks where he'd wake up a few times and just want to have your hand on his chest or give him his pacifier in which he would spit out as soon as you did, but it was enough to soothe him back to sleep - we thought it was his teeth, but there are still no teeth coming in - oh well - something must've scared him or hurt him enough to get up in the middle of the night.

We've had to pack a lot of your clothes away because you're growing out of them - it's quite sad really and I wish we would've taken more pictures of you in these tiny clothes, but time gets away from you. We have quite a few pics of you though Jack and we have all the memories as well. We can't believe you'll be 7 months old in a week - the time has really flown by right under our noses. Every single second of these 7 months have been amazing - you have brought so much joy into our lives and we realize it every day and try to not take you or any of our joys for granted. You were a miracle and you show us everyday just how much. We love you Jack.
