Jumpin' JP

For Christmas, Grammy gave JP a jumper and I think it may be his favorite thing to do (after naked baby time, of course)
We keep the jumper hanging in the doorway of the laundry room. It's the perfect place for it because I can see him from the living room and from the kitchen and JP is quite entertained by our new front loader washer and dryer. He will jump and bounce for about 45 minutes and then will usually pass out. It's so cute to watch him slowly get drowsy. He'll bounce a little bit, close his eyes, his head will droop and and he just hang there in the doorway...Then he'll startle and immediately start jumping again as if he hadn't drifted off. It's ADORABLE!!!

In this first video he's in a fantastic mood. Jumping and smiling. Josh noticed that he likes to jump really high then lift up his feet so he just bounces around for a bit.




This afternoon, our good friends Coitt and Kristi Kessler hosted a party at their house for our pipe band, the Emergency Service Pipes and Drums Association. They started the party off with a friendly game of paintball on their several acres of land just outside of Bastrop. The rest of the guests arrived a few hours later and we had the opportunity to just hang out and not worry about practicing our instruments. It was an opportunity for our family members to gather with us. We spend so much time with each other fine tuning our band that it's important that we give our families a chance to get to know each other and spend some time with us. It was a great party. Josh and I had to leave just as things were getting fun since we wanted to get JP back to the house to put him to bed. It's a 45 minute drive from our house to theirs.
Coitt had the brilliant idea for us to bring JP's bouncy swing since their daughter (just 3 weeks younger than JP) has the exact same model. These kids are adorable together. We're convinced they will date each other as they grow up. I'm also pretty sure that Izzy will break JP's heart...and also beat the crap out of him. Coitt will no doubt teach Izzy how to take down and pin an individual with great prowess.
At any rate, here are our precious babies bouncing together. This is so damn cute!
