We got to spend this Christmas with my family. With tough travel conditions nationwide and airports closing down in the Midwest the days just prior to Christmas, our family had many challenges getting into town. But everyone eventually made it in safe and sound and we got to enjoy a great weekend.
Dylan enjoyed his first Christmas and of course enjoyed the wrapping paper nearly as much as his new presents. All of a sudden Dylan has become much, much more vocal and picks up on what's going on around him in public. It's really fun to see the changes and growth in him. It was also really great that a lot of this happened right around Christmas so family could see the changes (especially since Thanksgiving). Dylan became an eater of new fruits and vegetables around Christmas and starting mastering the ability to sit up on his own like a big boy. He's quite the little dude!
Here are some photos from Christmas weekend.
