December was crazy busy, which is why it has taken us until now to try to catch up with posting. Fall quarter ended for Jenny the first week of December, and then it became the usual mad dash to prepare for holiday travels and gift-giving. Before we left Seattle, we did get to enjoy the holiday lights at the Zoo, a trip to the climbing gym to celebrate a friend's birthday, and a small dinner party that included some cookie decorating. Fun stuff!

Joseph's health improved in December, but his killer diaper rash continued, as his first tooth broke through right as he turned 8 months old with another to come a few weeks later. We may have used more diaper rash cream on this poor guy from mid-November to mid-December than we did on Jadyn her entire first year. Ouch! But otherwise, Joseph is pretty much all smiles, commando-crawling and trying to stand. He can hold himself in a sitting position pretty well now, loves his baths, and enjoys all sorts of fun on the floor -- toys, Jadyn's puzzles, wrapping paper....

He really loves the water, and he barely
fits in his baby bathtub these days! |

The kids continue to enjoy each other immensely. Jadyn is almost too aggressive with hugging him; even though he's bigger now, she forgets he's still a baby. They make each other laugh so much! What a blessing they are to us....
