Happy New Year!

Since my little brother is still so small, we decided to sta home for New Year's Eve. We were hoping our good friends the Gill Family would be joining us, but they weren't feeling so good so it was a quiet night @ the Johnson's.

Boys Time...

Tonight Dad helped me use my new toy shaver in the bath...it was one of my favorite Christmas gifts...mom said it's always the small things that I seem to like. I've really been enjoying having both mom & dad around while I get used to my new baby brother. So far I don't seem to pay too much attention to him but I do like to help mom put his 'nuky' back in his mouth.

Merry Christmas!

I started the day by seeing all the goodies in my Christmas stocking...and shortly after that Grandpa Gary and Auntie Janelle arrived. As you can see, I really must have been a good boy, as Grandpa brought me a pedal tractor!!! I can't wait for spring to arrive so I can ride this around. Then later in the day we went to Auntie Jodi and Uncle Chris's for the Fernholz Christmas...this was the first time everyone was together in a few years so it was fun seeing all my cousins I don't get to see all that often.

Baking Cookies for Santa

I wasn't sure if Mom would be up for baking cookies for Santa this year, but I talked her into it...needless to say, they didn't taste the best, but Santa must have liked them because he left me some great presents! Isaac got a free pass this year, but hopefully he can help with the cookies next year.

Introducing the Newest Johnson!

Late tonight, mommy gave birth to my new baby brother, Isaac Charles! She was in denial all day that she was really in labor and tried to work from home, but because we had a bad snowstorm, Auntie Jodi picked me up "just in case" Mom & Dad had to take a trip to the hospital. It's a good thing she did, as Isaac arrived at 11:10 pm. Everything went super and both Mom & Isaac are doing well. Mom said she is a true believer that heartburn during pregnancy equals lots of hair for the baby...check out Isaac's 'do' !! Looks like he'll have Daddy's hair, although it does have a bit of curl, so guess we'll have to wait and see.

Isaac's arrival was extra special, as Auntie Michele was also there to welcome him. Mom & Dad were nervous she wasn't going to make it in time, as Isaac was determined to arrive before midnight, but I think he was secretely waiting for Michele, as within 5 minutes of her arrival, it was time to push and he joined our family in just 2 short contractions!

Here are Isaac's stats:

Height: 20 1/2"

Weight: 8 lbs.

Hair: LOTS!

Choo Choo....

Today Mom and I decided to make our first gingerbread train. It was quite an adventure, as Mom had never even made a gingerbread house before. Thank goodness it was a kit, otherwise I don't think we would have gotten it to stand upright. It was lots of fun, and I especially liked eating all the candy that was supposed to be used to decorate the train.

Here is the before shot of the train...check out Mom's big belly in the background :-)
