Dear Jericho,
The other day I put you down for a nap and when you woke up I am pretty sure you had grown in your sleep. You looked older, you smiled big at me and it was like someone had switched babies on me. Quickly after you started trying to learn to crawl and just three days ago you learned to sit yourself up on your own. Daddy and I watch you every day wondering if "today" will be the day Jericho figures out how to crawl. Yesterday you moved one leg and one arm and moved JUST a tiny bit. I don't think you realized what happened because you didn't try it again. I'm sure you will figure it out soon though!
You are getting a lot better already from what you look like in this video. I will probably post a new one soon!
Love Always
Mommy

Cheetos
Dear Jericho,
Sometimes when Mommy and Daddy are so busy with you we can't make dinner we go to Subway. It is close to the house and they have a bunch of choices to eat for dinner and Mommy doesn't have to feel like a fatty by eating McDonalds every day.
When you get a meal there you get a Sandwhich, bag of chips and a drink (I get the tea) we quickly learned that the chips were not for Mommy to eat, they were for you to play with.
Love you
Mommy

Almost Christmas.. Still
Dear Jericho,
Guess what!? You met Santa Claus! It was very nice of him to come down and hang out at the Park Place Mall for everyone to tell him what they wanted. You were no exception of course. Although you can not tell Santa Claus what you want this year, you still deserved to meet him for the first time. Since he was nice enough to send you Buddy this year, I think he would've noticed if you didn't come to say Hi and meet him. It was very important to Mommy that you did.
Sometimes, when babies meet Santa they are not very excited about it. Actually, when we went to meet Santa your friend Audrey and her Mommy went with us too. Audrey wasn't very excited to see Santa and she cried.
You however, liked Santa Claus AND his beard!! I was very happy that you were in a good mood and were very glad and happy to meet Santa Claus. I am not sure if you knew what was going on, but Santa is a very friendly man so I get sad when little kids cry when they meet him because he just wants to be everyone's friend (he of course brings presents to all the little kids who believe in him, so he of course isn't mean or scary!)
I love these pictures of you with Santa Claus. I hope we will be able to take you to see him every year as you grow up so that he can see you grow, you two can talk about how you have been a good boy (you will never be bad right?) and talk about what prize he will bring you during Christmas to reward your good behavior.
Santa Loves you.. and so does Mommy.

Oh.. Buddy
Dear Jericho,
Buddy went back to the North Pole last night. He must've told Santa that Mommy and Daddy didn't have a stocking for you because he came back with one. Does he look familiar?
I think Buddy has been playing with Frank! Regardless of Buddy's stocking inspiration. We appreciate him and Santa making one for you. I think Frank is jealous.. but You seem to like it. Buddy even wrote on the tag (Jericho <3 Santa & Buddy) He put the R backwards in Jericho.. he's learning.
Buddy is a sneaky Elf though. I almost didn't notice he took present tags and wrote Buddy <3 Santa on them all and put them over the tags that Grandma sent! Silly buddy made all of the presents for him!
He also made a mess! We have Christmas tags hanging from the Christmas tree now Thanks to Buddy's decorating ideas! I kinda like them though, so I am leaving them :) Santa will be happy to see how helpful Buddy has been while he was staying with us.
Thank you for helping Mommy clean up after buddy!
Love Mommy (and Buddy)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (6 Months)
Dear Jericho,
It is December, you have grown big and strong for 6 months now. At your doctor's appointment on the 8th we got your current stats :
15 pounds 10 ounces
27 inches long
When you were born you were 7 pounds 14.9 ounces and 21 inches long. This means you have doubled your birth weight and grown 6 inches! In addition to that, you have learned a lot (as you have seen in my other posts)
December is the start of Christmas season. Well, commercially the stores try to shove it down your throat even before Thanksgiving, but not at this house. :) We splurged this year and invested in a fake Christmas tree. As much as that hurts me to have a fake tree, it is the safest thing for you. I didn't want to worry about you eating Christmas tree needles or getting into mischief under the tree and knocking it over and spilling water everywhere.
When we got the Christmas tree up I took pictures of you with your Sissy Alexis and Daddy. We also put you in a Sherpa bear outfit that I got you from Carters (please don't hate me for this you look adorable in it) and took about 50 pictures that day.
We also introduced you to Buddy. He is our designated Elf who will be here every Christmas season to keep an eye on you and report back to Santa Claus. I was surprised that Santa sent him this year because you are too young to know if you are naughty or nice but I hope he will give us some elf magic and help with your baby temper tantrums! The elf will be around, let's just hope he doesn't get into trouble!
I am really looking forward to Christmas this year. We don't have a lot of money to buy you dozens of gifts but Grandma and Grandpa Dude have spoiled you rotten. I've even given you a head start at opening your presents and I let you play with one each day. You just chew on them and you are not any closer to opening them.
You really like the tree and all of the lights. I purposely only decorated the top portion of the tree and didn't put many ornaments on it this year. That way you can play with the branches and not get into too much trouble. Don't Eat The Lights!!
I'm your paparazzi... Don't worry I do it for free.
<3 Your biggest fan (besides Daddy and Grandma)
