Catching Up is the New Normal

So we jumped from Joaqo's birthday to Halloween where he was a greaser - sooooo adorable!!! He was able to say "trick treat" to most people and got some candy. Auntie J and Uncle C came for a visit and we got to go hiking and visit the zoo with them. Halloween then rushed into Thanksgiving and now here we are at Christmas. Joaqo has embraced the Santa concept wholeheartedly and points him out everywhere we go. We went to see him last week so Joaqo could tell him he wanted choo choos for Christmas. Joaqo was psyched and called out "Santa, choo choo" a few times when we got to the zoo where Santa was making an appearance that evening. It was probably a little overwhelming for the litte man bc when it came time to sit on the old guy's lap Joaqo got a little scared and wanted his Daddy. No worries, Santa gave him a candy cane which he was pretty darned excited about and everything was fine. He's even seen these pics of him crying on Santa's lap and doesn't acknowledge that he was upset.
Here are some pics - Happy Holidays!!!!!
