My very capable friend (who has a 1-month-old and 22-month-old!) stepped up and hosted us for gingerbread house fun last week. My Boy mostly ate candy but did help a little with our graham cracker house. Look how cute they turned out! Maybe I could handle doing this myself? But if a friend provides everything and wants to have the mess at her house, I'll go for that (I even stole the picture from her blog--I'm really something!).
I took My Boy to see Mall Santa on Friday, which I've done every year since his birth to help document how he changes. This year there was no pooping through his outfit in line as with the first picture at 4 months (he was in a little Santa suit but ended up bare foot wearing the extra onesie and pants I luckily had in my bag):
The 16-month picture was uneventful, although he looks a bit reluctant:
Last year he had to be bribed with a lollipop to even sit on Santa's lap then promptly burst into heart-breaking tears:
This year he suddenly looked and acted like a kindergartener, walking calmly up to Santa, answering his questions, then giving this ecstatic grin for the picture:
He told Santa he wanted a "musical Leo baton" (a Little Einsteins toy that can be waved around and plays music), and I think he believed he'd get it right away because he kept asking me where it was. It's lots of fun that he can understand the holidays more this year, but we're still trying to get the details down.

I loved all the pictures with your boy and Santa! The last one made me laugh - he's so chill and mature! Love the posed hands on the knees. Too cute!
You can steal pics of My Boy anytime from my blog :) I'm super glad you are willing to indulge me in crazy pursuits. It's so much more fun with friends.
Wow- watch out Mr. Cool- your boy is growing up quick!
I love the picture from this year. He seems so sophisticated. Like he is way too mature to be excited about Santa!
