Riding the Horsey by Himself

John loves to bounce around in his jumper, in people's lap, etc. Emmalie and I were singing and playing with him this weekend when we decided we had to record it. After we stopped the singing each time and stopped bouncing him, he just kept on bouncing on his own and singing his own little song. We just kept cracking up! It's almost like he's mimicking the song we were singing especially when he says "Weeeee" at the end.

Buggy Ride at Church

When we picked John up from the nursery at church a few weeks ago, he was riding in the buggy they push the kids around in. He was really focused on looking at everything and enjoyed himself. We laugh every time we look at these pictures because it looks like someone told him to keep his hands at his side like on a roller coaster!

6 & 7 Month Pictures

Here are John's 6 and 7 month pictures. He is really growing up fast!

First Two Teeth!

John has been teething in full force the last week or two. He got his first two teeth a week or so ago. They came in at exactly the same time. He looks so cute with his two bottom teeth and nothing else!

Praise Baby DVD

We have found something that will actually keep John's attention for more than 5 minutes ... It's a DVD called Praise Baby. It has kids playing, colors and shapes on the screen while playing praise music. John is mesmerized!

John's Friend Scout

Matt's sister Melissa gave John a stuffed puppy named Scout for Christmas. John absolutely LOVES it! You can program it to say his name, favorite food, etc. When he wakes up in his crib from a nap, we can hear him start playing with it and saying things like,"I love you John."

Tuggle's Visit from Georgia

Emmalie's sister Amy Tuggle and her husband Matt arrived from Georgia on Dec. 29 just in time for Matt to go to the Baylor bowl game with Emmalie, Matt W. and Emmalie's dad Gary.

Amy decided to stay in Waco and watch the little man rather than go to the bowl game . . . Wise choice.

Aunt Amy even gave John a bath too! John seemed a little confused at first . . .

But he was happy and having fun by the end!
Uncle Tugg got to spend some time with the Little Man this week as well.

Uncle Tugg gave John his first Lego set.

It seems like Uncle Tugg had as much fun with them as John did!

Christmas Videos

As you can probably tell, John wasn't exactly lacking for attention on Christmas Day! In case you needed proof, this picture should suffice as evidence.

Here is a video of John saying his version of "Hi" to Matt's sister Melissa.

John getting real excited playing with Matt's mom.


John loves his stuffed giraffe!

Santa John on Christmas Day

John had his own Santa costume for Christmas morning, and he was definitely in the Christmas spirit. Here he is on his way to his first Christmas stop at Emmalie's parents house.

First, he watched as everyone else opened their presents.

Then, it was his turn!

John and Santa Claus

John was lucky enough to see Santa again on Christmas Eve at Emmalie's Uncle's house. He was quite curious at first but then took time to wave at everyone taking pictures.
