We were very glad we drove up the night before. Otherwise we would have been stuck in PA with no food in the fridge for a couple of days.

We did a lot of different things while we were in New England. We cheered for the Patriots. Even Taylor got excited.

We gave Taylor a bath in the kitchen sink. As always he loved his bath. He has since transitioned to the big tub and home. He is such a water baby.

Gramzee put him in a Santa hat. Here he is hamming it up for the camera.

He also took some flying lessons with Gramzee.

He also became Bugs Bunny…. “What’s up Doc?” Nom, Nom, Nom. At one point he had both carrots in has hands. It was pretty entertaining.

We also went up to Josh’s grandparents house in Beverly, MA just north of Boston. He got to meet some new friends. Here he is with his Great Aunt Pat. He was being quite a flirt.

All of that flirting can tire a little guy out. He took a nice long snooze.

I gave Taylor a laundry basket to play with for a little while.

And all of that was before Christmas morning. Here are some great shots from Taylor’s first Christmas.

Here’s the whole family by the tree.

Taylor by the tree before he saw the presents…

Here he is after he found the presents…

Rody was a present from Santa. Taylor thinks he tastes good…

Taylor also had some fun with Tante Karen

and Unkie Junkie J

He also got to spend some time with his Great Grandma Cookie…oh yeah and a spoon. He has one of those most of the time now.

Taylor even helped Gramzee bake me a birthday cake.

We had a great holiday and are looking forward to next Christmas when Taylor understands the meaning of presents!
