Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree!

Our tree is up! Actually, it's been up since the day after Thanksgiving, but I didn't get a chance to take any pictures until now. Shane was a such a good helper! Before we even got out the decorations, he was putting his toys in the tree. I'm not sure where he got that idea, but he was on the right track! My original plan was not to have any ornaments near the bottom of the tree since Shane likes to grab everything in sight, but he is doing surprisingly well! He likes to hear what each ornament is called and he will grab them, but we say "no touch, isn't that a pretty snowflake?" and he let's go and smiles. It's adorable. He loves all the lights and will point and say "lights, lights, LIGHTS!" He also thinks a penguin is a duck and says "quack, quack, quack" whenever he sees it. It's so cute that I don't bother correcting him. On that note, you can now ask Shane was noise a duck, cat, snake or bumble bee makes and he will respond with the appropriate sound. Daddy was so impressed when we showed him! We asked him what a dog sounds like and he just blew like he was blowing bubbles. We need to work on that one still!

This is Shane's favorite spot by the tree

Thinking about what he isn't going to touch next!

"Quack, quack, quack" says the penguin! Haha!

What a beautiful sight!
