I hope everyone had a great New Year’s Eve (there’s actually still about an hour and a half of 2012 despite my use of the future tense!) I have decided that it is my goal to post approximately a photo a day or at least a handful of photos a week! We’ll see how it goes…
For the final photo to be posted in 2012, I’m posting a great shot taken (with an iPad) just a few hours ago of Atticus on his new pirate ship (Christmas present from Gramma and Papa) taken by Jennifer Safrit @ Casa de Safrit. We celebrated the new year with a full countdown and lyrically inacurate rendetion of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ at just after 7:30 pm because we are old and boring. The Safrits’ dachshund, Pete and Atticus just stared at us in mutual confusion.
It’s not everyday that you see a naked pirate (apparently) sipping tea from the crow’s nest!
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, But Atticus was angry (you can tell by his glare)
And here’s an un-written on version:

We made our annual pilgrimage to Pittsburgh, PA for Christmas but this year we brought our own baby (and he’s been quite a hit!) Here are some of my favorite photos that I captured during our trip.
First present ever and it’s… a sweater. It’s okay, though, because it’s a super cute, handmade sweater! Thanks Lois!!
Santa’s not the only one who deserves a “Thank you!”
Christine taught Alicia how to make tiiiiiiiiny Cheerio® sized donuts for Santa’s elves!…and the elves, politely, left an equally tiny Thank You note
Santa brought Atticus a toddler-sized corn popper and the elves brought a tiny elf-sized corn popper (with a tiny scroll to explain that they made it just for him but mom would probably insist on using it as a tree ornament!)
Atticus admires how his ‘Baby’s First Christmas’ spoon catches the light as he dangles it around
I think Atticus has been battling the sniffles for the last week or so. Between the runny nose and excessive drool, the lower half of his head is nearly always drenched!
Hey guys! (SNIFFF!) Wait, where’s everybody going?(SNERFFF!)Domino lurks deep in his catacombMommy taunts Atticus with wonderfully colored plastic war toys but he is cut off at the Connor Pass.Atticus tries on one of Uncle Chris’s new fire building gloves…
Throw your hands in the air… and wave them like you just don’t care… and if you’re momma’s little guy but when she’s gone you start to cry then let me hear you say, “Oh yeah!”
Christine wanted me to take some portraits of Atticus in front of the tree but he kept charging at me and trying to touch my lens. It was scarier than it sounds……and he STRIKES!I don’t know why he started doing this tongue thingAtticus thinks that it is the most hilarious thing in the world when a grown-up lies down on the floorAtticus graciously allows Papa to play with his toysUnfortunately, Atticus sorta has a monkey on his back…
