Here is Diego on Christmas eve, in his cute jammies I found last March, so glad I chose the right size and they look so cute on him!
On Christmas morning, Diego woke up at 6 am, which is pretty early for him and I would usually try to get him back to sleep, but Eddie and I were so excited for him to see his presents that we decided to just get up. I finally got a cute picture of him in front of the tree.
We were really lucky because he was generally disinterested in the tree the whole time it was in the house. He would stop by it a time or two and mess with the lights or the soft ornaments I purposely put on the bottom, but he mainly just crawled on by.
He wasn't super interested in opening presents after the first 1 or 2, and of course much more interested in the bows and wrapping paper than anything else!
A classic bow-on-head picture, love it!

A classic bow-on-head picture, love it!Diego was absolutely spoiled for Christmas. He got all kinds of neat toys that light up and make noise, which he loves! He got a few books, some puzzles, a new red jacket and even his first savings bond!
Our favorite Christmas present (well, a few days after, on the 27th) was watching Diego stand up alone for the first time (for a significant period of time). He was drinking from his cup and stood there for a good 5 seconds or so. This is the best picture I could get of him standing. Later that day, Eddie and I were playing with him and I thought we should just go ahead and try to see if he might take a step or two. Eddie stood him up towards me and steadied him in a standing position and he totally took 2 or 3 steps and fell into me. Then, he did it again back to Daddy and again back to me! We were so excited and he was clapping right along with us! He did it again for Auntie Erica, Uncle Bryan, and Cousins Hank, Olivia and Jagger, but when he's done, he's done and he won't stand up anymore! I hope to catch some steps on video soon and some more of him standing, but so far I've just been selfishly enjoying it all myself without running for the camera. :)

You will no longer need to use the treadmill or go for walks...you are gonna get some exercise as soon as that boy can walk.....and from the looks of it...it is gonna be soon!!
I can't believe he is starting to walk!!!! WOW Meghan, I can't believe how fast he is growing up!!! I'm so glad that yall had a great Christmas. :)
Take the pics now because in a few months he'll be running away from you so fast even the "action" setting on your camera won't do it!
Oh my gosh, get ready to run! : ) That is so great that he is taking steps already! I'm so glad you guys had such a wonderful Christmas. Cute pics!
HOW fun! From pregnancy on, everyday is a new and wonderful memory. Thanks for sharing yours :) It was great to see you last week. You are right we really should try to get together more often.
So sweet!
Happy New Year!
Yes, he is getting to big and cuter by the day! Looks like you had a wonderful Christmas as well! A child's first Christmas is always so memorable for mom and dad...its okay to spoil Diego:)
I seriously need to get on google.reader more often! Look at Diego! Such a big boy! And I swear he is the cutest little boy ever! I love those sweet, big brown eyes. I'm so glad he had so much fun at Christmas! I can't wait for the time when he'll be walking around!
Meghan,
Thanks for posting on my blog, now I've found yours and I can get my fill of your little guy. Great Christmas shots. It goes so fast!
meg,
Sorry it has been so long and you are always diligent about leaving me great comments.
Lately, I feel so overwhelmed with never getting stuff done that I barely check blogs. I still love to document my girls' lives as I am failing at their photo books..
Little Diego is super cute and is doing the same stuff as Ruby girl. Rubes is walking a little too. Enjoy Enjoy!
Love,
Stef
