12 Days of Christmas

Our Christmas began last week, with a visit from Gran and Grandpa Jack. Billy could hardly contain himself with excitement:


Much to my surprise, he did take to the concept if presents fairly well. Here, he and Gran unwrap his first Christmas ornament.




Grandpa Jack models his gift to Billy:

The three of us made a trip to Memphis so Billy could go to Babies R Us and pick out his Santa Claus gifts. After that, it was on to Corky's, for ribs and baby dancing. Billy had fun--it's loud, bright, and there's lots of things going on.


Then Ace demonstrated Gran's major Christmas gift to us: getting Billy to take a bottle. Before her visit, he rejected artificial nipples of any kind. After: O Joy, Divine!
