Sitting Up Solo!

Today while I was addressing Christmas cards, Damien sat up all by himself for the first time. He's been able to sit unsupported for months now, but he was never able to get into the position by himself until today! Luckily, the camera was close by, so I got a couple photos of the proud little guy. :)

St. Nick Came!

St. Nick found our apartment to get a special gift for Damien on his first St. Nick's Day. Damien left his shoes out the evening of the 5th, and this is what he woke up to:




















It seems like St. Nick had trouble getting the gift in Damien's shoes...
Damien opened the gift himself (with a little help from Daddy) and found his very first cell phone inside!

1st Vacation

The day after Thanksgiving, the Hebert family embarked on a road trip to Tennessee to visit many of Andy's relatives. Damien had the opportunity to meet many new people, and he did very well with the change of pace from his normal routine. Right before we left, Damien got his first two teeth, which he enjoyed showing off to the family.
