Christmas Decorations

Last weekend we decided we would do some homemade Christmas ornaments for the tree. We made our own dough, rolled and cut them into shapes, then baked them. Here are some pictures of Jeramyah doing his part.

Jeramyah has called himself Baby J for about a year or more now. Well I thought that might not be the best thing for a 2 1/2 year old so we've been working on names. We ask him my name, James' name, and his name. He now says "Jeramama" It's super cute!

Another thing he's been saying is penguin only he says it "ping one".

If I tell him I love him he'll say "Love you big" and I'll say love you bigger and he'll repeat it. The last couple of days if I tell him I love him he whispers "Love you bigger". Some of the things he says just melts my heart!

So most of you know Jeramama to look like this....

Right?

Well now he looks like this....

That's right, on 12/11/08 I took him to get his first major haircut! I've trimmed it 2 or 3 times over the last year but not cut it this short! I wanted it to be more of a bowl cut but he really fought the barber at first so it got kind of short. I'll let it grow to just above his eyes and years and I think keep it that way. This isn't a very good picture, I'll take more later but he looks like a completely different kid! It's so weird because I've always been able to pick him out of a room full of kids because of the long blond hair but now I have to look at his face!

I was really surprised he didn't cry with Santa. He was pretty scared and stiff and got down pretty darn quick. At least he didn't scream and cry though! Last year was a screaming picture! My Baby J is getting to be a big boy!!!!
