 <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"First<\/a>
First present ever and it’s\u2026 a sweater. It’s okay, though, because it’s a super cute, handmade sweater! Thanks Lois!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Santa’s not the only one who deserves a “Thank you!”<\/p>\n

\"Christine<\/a>
Christine taught Alicia how to make tiiiiiiiiny Cheerio\u00ae sized donuts for Santa’s elves!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\u2026and<\/a>
\u2026and the elves, politely, left an equally tiny Thank You note<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Atticus<\/a>
Atticus admires how his ‘Baby’s First Christmas’ spoon catches the light as he dangles it around<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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!<\/p>\n

\"Hey<\/a>
Hey guys! (SNIFFF!) Wait, where’s everybody going?(SNERFFF!)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Domino<\/a>
Domino lurks deep in his catacomb<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Mommy<\/a>
Mommy taunts Atticus with wonderfully colored plastic war toys but he is cut off at the Connor Pass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Atticus<\/a>
Atticus tries on one of Uncle Chris’s new fire building gloves\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Throw your hands in the air\u2026 and wave them like you just don’t care\u2026 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!”<\/p>\n

\"Christine<\/a>
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\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\u2026and<\/a>
\u2026and he STRIKES!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"I<\/a>
I don’t know why he started doing this tongue thing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Atticus<\/a>
Atticus thinks that it is the most hilarious thing in the world when a grown-up lies down on the floor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Atticus<\/a>
Atticus graciously allows Papa to play with his toys<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Unfortunately,<\/a>
Unfortunately, Atticus sorta has a monkey on his back\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
