'twas the night before christmas


My mom bought all her grandson's matching pajama's, and so desperately wanted to get a picture of all of them together.  Out of the literally 20 taken, this was one of my favorites.  In 75% of them Declyn is just grabbing onto James and poor James is just in shock (although I'm not sure why -- Dec does it to him every time James is within reach.)  This may be a glimpse into the future: Declyn going after James, James taking it / not sure what to do, and Brent just hanging out while it all it takes place.

Similar pajamas here.


Ignore the bottom (blue) half of this picture -- you get the idea.  Gorgeous tree, by the way.



Teething is taking over Declyn's life -- this is what it's like all the time now; his poor finger in his swollen gums of a mouth.  Again, Brent just minding his own business.



Top left: people watching nonstop (just like his mom).
Bottom left: chatting up a storm while at dinner.
Right: "reading" his book. 

Sweater :: H & M
Shirt :: Carter's / OshKosh 



James was more interested in Declyn's toy then Declyn was.  And of course Dec wasn't having that.  He wanted to be doing what his cousin James was doing.  What that was, he didn't know, but he was determined.

Similar (plaid) cabbie found here.


Playing with his fresh toy while sporting his new hat.



Clockwise from bottom left
1. Using his hammer to open his presents.  Surprisingly, he knew how to open them with his hands, too.
2. Stoked about the wrapping paper -- and not afraid to let us know.
3. He couldn't decide which one to go for, so he went for them all.
4. My mom had put each grandchild's gifts in neat piles, so Declyn just tackled the first one he saw.
5. Caught.
6. James coming over to tell us that Declyn is just storming the presents with his body.



Poor kid.  Every time he went to sit up, he'd get hit in the face with a tree branch, so this was the best we could get.


Learning how to climb the one step to get to the bulbs on the tree and/or pull at a tree branch.
