I couldn't help myself. I hung the stockings up and whenever I looked at them on the mantel I would think how cute Crew would look inside one of them. So I took one down and tried him in it. He fit part way, but didn't like the feeling of being in a straight-jacket and I wasn't about to torture him just for my own viewing pleasure/photo obsession.We compromised.
Crew was happy to lay still with the stocking draped over his legs and body. He was happier still when I put it on his head like a Santa hat- as you see here in the first 3 photos.I thought it was funny- so did he. Those big eyes of his? He gets them everytime I take a picture. My camera is so big he thinks I disappear and that's how we end up with the surprised/questioning look on his face in most cases. I happen to think big eyes are pretty cute though, and admit they are even cuter in real life.
I'm still feeling so blessed- so grateful- that God sent Crew into our lives. I never dreamed that this Christmas my stocking and heart would be so full. I'm treasuring every smile and the time I spend cuddling my little Santa baby. The Christmas cards might just have to wait. =)

OK, I couldn't help myself - I am usually a "lurker" but I just HAD to post a comment on how incredibly cute those picture are! You need to enter them in a contest somewhere - they would certainly win.
I thoroughly enjoy your blog entries and the fact that you are so real and honest. Here's wishing you and your whole family your best holiday season ever!!!
If that is not the cutest baby I have ever seen, I don't know who is!!!
He has the funniest expressions! They just crack me up every time! One of my boys did that when they were little. He would laugh and smile and as soon as the camera was at my face his smile melted and he just stared....
I am still thinking he looks like Chip :) Those eyes! And they are so expressive. Thank you for sharing him with us! I wouldn't have been able to resist putting him in the Christmas stocking either!
Blessings to you rsweet family
Absolutely adorable! Makes me wish we had a little person in our home! I'll have to wait until I become a Grandma ... ... there's time for that though! LOL!
my younger brother was born on dec 20th, and he was brought home in an xmas stocking. my mom still hangs it every year, and puts treats inside.
he is beautiful, jody.
Crew is so so beautiful. Quite yummy.
I enjoyed looking at the photos - past and present. What a journey.

I adore that picture of Crew in the stocking. So precious!
He is a precious little boy. I always loved having a baby boy at Christmas time. I also loved your pajama pictures. You have an amazing family.
I too am usually a lurker, but couldn't resist commenting on these adorable photos of Crew! So cute!
Thanks for the email Jodi, you are such an inspiration to so many, myself included. SO glad you're enjoying the Christmas season.
Awesome idea with the stocking! I think our 11 month old is a tad too big and wiggly these days. Fun to pose them when they can't escape! ;)
Those are some of the mist precious pictures I have seen.
Love the pictures. My bday is Dec 13 and my mom brought me home from the hospital in a Christmas stocking (many, many moons ago)! When I had my son on Dec 8, I tried to put him in a stocking but he was too big (9lb 8oz) so I have a picture of him laying under a Christmas tree with only the lights on the tree and the red tree skirt around the tree. It is still my favorite picture. I love your pictures - espically the second one!

Crew is so adorable. Love his big eyes!!!
My Mom put me in a Christmas stocking when I was born December 11, 19.... :) So I felt the need to carry on the tradition when my daughter was born on Dec 18, 2006. Your pictures are so cute and so special. Thanks for sharing and bringing back great memories.
Much love from NJ,
