--We took several pictures and he looks like this in all of them. Oh, well. I think they're pretty funny. He's in front of our Christmas tree, in case you can't tell.
--Biggest news of this month: Jared's going to be a big brother! He was actually the first person to know, since we knew he wouldn't tell anyone. :-) I'll have to eventually write the whole story of how we told our families, but it involved "Big Brother" & "Big Sister" shirts. Our families weren't expecting the news, and didn't put it together for a while. Like a few hours.
--From the time Jared was little, he's loved to play with balls, and has recently started throwing them, too. He loves for Noelle to keep bringing him things to throw.
--Jared found the dog door, much sooner than his sister did. He didn't seem to think it was that big of a deal when he ended up outside.
--He thinks peek-a-boo and pretend sneezing are pretty funny.
--He "helped" decorate the Christmas tree this year. We have a play yard around it this year so he can't un-decorate it.
--Here's our attempt at a family photo. Out of many takes, it's the best we got.
--The last week or two of November he started pulling up all the way to his feet, and shortly after that he was proficient at cruising around furniture. He loves to stand up!
--He's eating more finger foods, but has become pickier recently. His favorites are cheerios, mandarin oranges, peas, and toast. So far he doesn't like pasta. What kid doesn't like pasta??
--He's officially weaned now. Because of some medicine I have to be on during pregnancy we had to quit breastfeeding.
--He now has 2 bottom teeth. (I think his first one came in October 28th.) He's pretty cranky when he's teething.
--He babbles quite a bit. He can also "say" Dada and Dog. Occasionally he'll say mama, too, but I'm not sure if he is really saying it or just babbling the right sounds. But I love hearing it, anyway!
--We're doing a little bit of sign language with him now. He can sign "all-done" at the end of a meal (if we prompt him.) I'm excited that he's started copying us, and am looking forward to when he can actually use the signs to communicate. He also knows what we mean when we sign "milk" and "eat."
--He can clap and wave when we ask him (and if he's in the right mood.)
--A couple more photos from the month:
--In general he continues to be a very happy and cute little guy!

I'm not sure, but he may not like the "orange" outfit.
These are precious! I do love the one in front of the Christmas tree! Perhaps it's genetic. My guys never did like posing for pics!
