Christmas 2011...

Christmas 2011 - Tully is almost 9 months old

John, Ashley and Tully spent Christmas in Texas with John's family and then traveled to our house to share Christmas and New Years.  Tully was fascinated with the ribbon on their tree.

This is the first time he got to watch a video while traveling... he used to have to face the seat when he was smaller!

The video helped pass some of the many miles!

Once they arrived back in Oklahoma at Grammy and PawPaw's we were able to share the Christmas spirit.  So nice to have family together.  We enjoyed watching Tully learn to navigate behind his Imaginarium Rolling Xylophone.  Walking behind something moving was a whole new experience for him.  He was learning to take steps and keep his balance without the cart running away.  He was so funny...

...he was trying to figure it out.  He walked like he had pirate's peg leg!

But, he got better with each trip across the room!

By day 2 he was a pro and happy!

He was so proud!  I love that happy chipmunk smile!

Tully certainly was not understanding the full concept of a present -

but he soon learned the joy of the Christmas paper!

Like most 9 months old... the paper was more interesting than the gift!

For every piece that I would take away, another went directly to his mouth!
Look at that snarled nose - LOL!

He ended up being quite content with Grammy's cookie cutters.

He picked out the reindeer!

No matter what he's doing, he's still our Sweet Tully Bear!
