Merry Christmas everyone! We had our first Christmas as a family of 4 this year. Jacob and Emma got way too many gifts from family and friends so we might need to add a new room onto the house. Jacob absolutely loves trains so we got him his own trainset this year. He also has enough Diego, Dora, and Thomas the Train stuff to last for quite some time. Emma got a lot of cute clothes, blankets, and toys to help fill her room as she is getting ready to move into her own room and start sleeping in a crib. Sarah is home from the hospital after surgery and is recovering nicely. Jason is getting ready to go to Memphis to hopefully watch UCF win the Liberty Bowl against Mississippi State.

It's official.....I am a big brother now! Let me introduce my new little sister, Emma Rose Collette!

Hi everyone, long time no chat. Daddy hasn't been around much to help me out because he has been very busy traveling for work. Since we last talked, he has been to Atlanta, New York City, Chicago, Portland, Indianapolis, and Hershey. Mommy and I are very proud of him and all the good he is doing at work but we sure do miss him around the house sometimes. As for me, I am doing lots of neat stuff now. I really enjoy my Music Together class and Miss Stephanie has taught me a bunch of neat songs. My favorite one is a song about five kids in the bed and the little one said "Roll Over, Roll Over." I know all of the hand actions and really enjoy that song. I am also in a new class at my school where they are teaching me my colors and letters. My vocabulary is really expanding! My favorite words seem to be the ones that start with the letter B as I can now say: book, blue, and my favorite word, basketball. I love to play with my basketballs! March was a good month here because we found out that Grandma and Grandpa Collette are moving to Florida so now I'll have all 3 sets of grandparents here in the state - how lucky am I! That was some great news, but even more exciting is the fact that mommy and daddy told me that I'll get to be a big brother later this year because mommy is having a baby! Well, I have to go practice on how to be the best older brother ever so in the meantime, check out my latest photos. See ya later!

Hey everybody, just a quick note to say hi. I had my 18 month checkup on Thursday and Doc says I'm good to go. I'm already 35" tall and I weigh 27 pounds. I'm starting to become much more vocal. I know all of the hand motions to "If you're happy and you know it..." and my favorite saying for now is, "What's that?"

I've added a link to my Flickr picture account over to the right so you can always stay updated on photos mommy and daddy take of me.

Merry Christmas everybody! We just got back from Grandma and Grandpa Linn's place after a long fun day. I got so much stuff today from everyone. Aunt Julia got me a bunch of Sandra Boynton books, Grandma and Grandpa Linn bought me a funny Elmo chair and Grandpa made me a neat table with my very own chair. Uncle Steve bought me some clothes from schools that have actually won a national championship to wear around to annoy daddy. In the picture above, I'm wearing the cool cap Grandma Collette made for me. It is supposed to cool off here soon so I should get to put it to good use. I got so much stuff I can't even keep track of it all so a big thank you out to everyone. If you want to see a few pictures of my day today, you can check out my Flickr account.

Anyhow, I'm off to bed now. I woke up at 7:30 today and was so excited about Christmas I never even took a nap today!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everybody!

Remember my picture with Santa last year?



Well, here I am this year! Look at how much I've grown! I still am not too fond of guys with beards so mommy and daddy had to be in the picture with me so I would calm down.

My first school pictures are in everybody! Check me out!
