First Christmas

Well, the G-man has successfully made it through his first Christmas. How good did he make out, you ask? Let's just say we went to Ikea to buy more bins and shelving and hanging holders. By the third Christmas (ours, Marshall's, Smith's) he was getting the gist of ripping paper off packages. He enjoyed the paper more than the box inside of it. And we're thinking he really enjoyed all of his gifts because he developed a "holy moly this is awesome" look over the holidays - tight lips, O-shaped mouth with wide eyes and eyebrows raised. He even went further to actually whistle while making the "holy moly" look. Quite impresive for a 10 month old. (No, we don't think he did it on purpose. But he is a genius.) So, here are some shots from the last couple weeks.

Winston didn't appreciate Rachael trying to lay on his floor without including him.
