13 months...and then some

Ok, so I realize that I missed posting pics of Jax's b-day by about a month and some days...but that is the story of my life :)  He had a great birthday...loved his cake which was total opposite than Brody who cried and didn't even try it.  A big thanks to our good friend Jenny for taking the pics!  It's hard to imagine that he is 1. Where did the time go!?  We are so thankful that he has made full circle and is such a happy and healthy baby (I guess not a baby anymore).   He is still not walking...in fact he does not like it when you try to make him stand or try to walk with him holding his hands.  He will either flop to the ground or yell every step he takes :)  He does cruise like no other, can go up and down the stairsk and can now pull himself up on the couch.  Brody didn't walk till 15 months, so I am in no rush and apparently he isn't either.  Although he is pretty skinny I swear he eats all of the time!  His face lights up when he Brody walks into a room and they play so well together.  You can already tell that Jax wants to do everything his big brother does.  We are so excited to see what this next year will bring.

 Brody thought it would be a good idea to decorate Jax's birthday cake with Puffs! Great idea!  He helped grandma Dorothy before the party.

 Opening presents

 Hanging out with Papa

Trying to get a good pic with our good friend Jenny :)

Christmas

The loot :)

 Opening stalkings with dada.  Brody was up at 7, Jax decided to sleep till 10.

 After patiently waiting on Jax to wake up, we let Brody open a present.

 Mamo and Papa came over for breakfast and present opening.

 Finally after most of the presents were opened (we just couldn't wait...sorry Jax!) Brody helped Jax open his gifts.

Random Holiday

Our good friend Eric came to visit from Baltimore right before Christmas.  He helped us decorate cookies :)

 Santa hat and elf shoes!

Last year

Yes I know I am way behind, but better late then never right?  Here is our Christmas tree!  Clark Griswald style! 

 Getting ready to see Santa :)  We actually didn't go until a week before Christmas.

 Hard to see in this pic, but to our suprise Jax did not want to have anything do with Santa.  Brody per usual just sat calmly while we tried to keep Jax on Santas lap.

 This was the best photo we got of both of them looking at the camera!  Hahahah...no one including Santa looks happy.

After we took Jax away, Brody was very content and happy to have a good conversation with Santa.
