Flashing Lights

Jack's 1 year appointment revealed that he is 22 pound, one ounce (25th - 50th percentile), 29.5 inches 50th percentile, and his head circumference looks pretty good too - lots of room for his brain to grow! He was very happy during the appointment and was fascinated by the doctor's stethescope. He actually handled his shots pretty well, he just took a really long nap Friday afternoon to recover.

On Saturday, Lily and Marcy made some homemade Christmas tree decorations, and played with various toys, while the boys ran some afternoon errands. Friends Andy and Jen then brought over some homemade pizza for dinner - Lily loved the "macaroni" i.e. pepperoni. We then had a wild Saturday night playing Memory, Zingo, and then later Scrabble!

On Sunday, we hung around the house playing with lots of toys. Lily is realizing that while her baby brother can be annoying and destructive at times, he can also be a lot of fun. He mimcs her dancing and bouncing around, and laughs at her all the time. He mainly crawls but also walks here and there. Sunday night we went to see the Zoolights, which essentially consisted of holiday lights at the National Zoo. While it was pretty, Lily was more interested in the small mammals and reptiles. Jack also had somewhat of a meltdown - a little past his bedtime! Overall, it was a fun night though!

Enjoy the pics! We are looking forward to celebrating the first night of Hanukah on Sunday!
