December was a whirlwind month! Our family adjusting to its addition, the guest room being occupied, and celebrating the holidays!
Jack has begun to warm up to his little brother! He finally realizes that this little baby isn't going anywhere! His adjustment has been less than seamless. It helped having his grandparent's help through out the month...someone has generally been able to provide him with the attention he needs. The hardest adjustment for him though, has been at night, if I have to tell him to "wait one minute" so I can go wake up Daddy to take care of Roman. (This has become much easier once the bottle was the only form of feeding!) He now says "bye" to Roman when I drop him off at Eva's and always lets us know when Baby Roman is crying...just in case we weren't aware! And Jack doesn't like when we bathe his brother, as his brother hates being naked!

As for Jack's fun tidbits this month:
- He can reach the light switch
- "Set Go" is a game of chase, created by Daddy. Jack says, "set go" and one must run around the house and hide from Jack, all while Jack is yelling, "Daddy/Mommy/or whomever's name is playing this game of giggles with him.
- He is quite the dancer! He gets his moves from his Mom! Jack and Mark will just start shaking their butts!
- Like many 2 year olds, he wanted to take all the ornaments off the tree. He was allowed to take a few off...mainly, the jingle bells! There was a lot of jingling happening!
- We also discovered he is Mark's son when it comes to gifts! He must open them as soon as he see's one, even if its not his! (Thank goodness Roman didn't know what was happening!)

| HeeHaw! |
 |
| Yep...I went to wake Jack from a nap and found him like this! |
 |
| Who needs a bed when you have a comfy chair? |
As for Roman...he is quite the neglected second child!
I realized after Jack had torn through all the Christmas gifts that we didn't document Roman. Like most newborns, he slept through the entire thing. He doesn't do a whole lot for me to report on ;-)! Just eats, sleeps, poops, and cries! He has started to coo and make happy faces, which make my heart smile!

As always, Christmas was a delight! We celebrated in Cincinnati early because Christmas Eve & Day was spent at Grammie and Pop's and New Years Eve & Day was spent at Nana & Papa's! Oh what fun!

Perhaps I shall take the opportunity to utilize this nap time to either nap myself or work on organizing
this house! It's absolute chaos!
