Shannon and Zach Jex holded their second annual Tacky Christmas Party benefitting the Natchez Children's Home on Thursday, December 23. Bettye Jane was a sport to put up with our foolishness and dressing up as well!

PeePaw Mike

The Ladies at the office secretly ordered this fine license plate made for my dad. Dad insists that he wants to be called Papa Mike, but we all love to say that he will be called PeePaw Mike. This drives Dad crazy! So, one random day at work, Gary was able to screw on the hot pink number without Dad noticing. Dad drove around then to a meeting and back before noticing! Everyone loved lauging at him! Too bad he doesn't want to keep it...it looks good on the front of his truck.

Baby Signing Time

We received the Baby Signing Time DVD from the Stubbs in Natchez and highly recommend it to others! Jane has been watching it for months, but since she hit 11 months, she has really been interested in watching it. I think she really likes watching the other babies, but she has been learning the signs. She signs "eat", "more", and "all done". These have been so helpful at mealtime and beyond. Before we both got frustrated because we could not communicate, but now she can let me know that she wants more of something or that she is finished. She also lets me know when she wants to eat. It is amazing to know that we are communicating! Here is a quick video of when the DVD starts. She gets so excited!
