Happy 5 Months, MJ (and Happy New Year to Everyone Else!)

Happy 2012!  Today we are celebrating not only a new year, but also MJ turning 5-months-old!  As always, here are few highlights of the past month.

Although we're sad Daddy is TDY, you sure have taken a liking to his recliner.  Here you are, looking like a typical man.

The weather turned semi-cold for a few days, and it was fun to get you all cozy in your new hat, made just for you by your Aunt Nicole.

CHEESE!

You have finally taken a REAL interest in Oskar.  Every time he comes around, you watch him like a hawk. . . 

And sometimes--SOMETIMES--he gets close enough for you to touch him.  He gives you kisses, and you try to "pet" him. . . which usually means you end up smacking him on the nose.  It's a good thing he loves you so much.

Aunt Erin took our family pics right after Christmas while Daddy was home for a few days.  Again, a few of my faves:  (**All pictures taken by e.s.photography.  If you like her work and are interested in her taking YOUR family pictures, check out her website.**)  

What makes this one so great is that he was looking up at me.  LOVE!

Go State!

Bring on the new year!  May you all be blessed!
