Merry Christmas Eve!

I'm so pumped about Santa coming to my house for the first time. I just hope Dexter does not eat the cookies that I'm going to leave out.

Got it!

So, Brian and I have absolutely enjoyed seeing Jack smile and get so excited when we make faces at him. I have been a bad influence on my son (as Brian would say), and have taught him to stick out his tongue! However, in my defense, it is the cutest thing ever when he sees you stick out your tongue and in return sticks out his tongue.

We both have been trying to caputure Jack smiling and we finally have! We hope you enjoy seeing him smile as much as we do! Stay tuned for a picture of him sticking out his tongue!

Jack's Baptism

We recently celebrated with family Jack's Baptism on December 7th. Jack wore the gown I was baptized in as an infant. As you can imagine, seeing my son in the gown I wore brought tears to my eyes and will be a moment in time that will stay with me forever.

Brian and I hoped and prayed that Jack would not mind the water being poured on his head, but he did great! He loves bath time and we thought he would just think he is getting a bath and we are pretty sure he thought it was bath time. He didn't fuss at all and was so good.

Brian and I would like to thank our family again for attending and beging a part of a special time in Jack's life. We also look forward to Jack developing his own reasons on why he thinks Hopeful Lutheran is a great place.

You've Gotta Read My Script

Several weeks ago Jack and the rest of the Riddells headed down to the historic Brown Hotel in Louisville, Ky to meet up with screen writer and uncle, Brad Riddell. Jack has a couple plausible movie ideas, and made a really good pitch. I guess we'll wait and see.

Happy 2 Month Birthday Jack!

Okay, so I'm just a little late to post this, but I wanted to wish our son a Happy 2 Month Birthday. He sure is a cutie and his little personality is starting to shine and I absolutely love it! He is such a happy baby and just gets so tickled when you interact with him. Hope you enjoy the picture because it definitely captures how cute our little guy is!

We love you Jack! Love, Mommy and Daddy
