J at the Christmas party

Although J had been more fussy than usual during the day yesterday, when we took him over to a neighbor's Christmas party, he was wide awake and happy. I carried him in a bjorn carrier facing outwards, so he could enjoy looking around and meeting people. He was so excited, kicking and waving his arms, that he threw up a little, but after that he was fine. He loved all the attention, shamelessly making eye contact and smiling at everyone who cooed at him, for the whole two hours we were there. At this point at least, he is far more sociable than his parents. After all that excitement, he slept soundly for five hours.
