Jared and I have started a new tradition for Christmas... We get a new ornament that represented something that happened throughout that year.OBVIOUSLY we decided to go with something for Zack this year! We could have chosen the traditional "Baby's 1st Christmas" ornament, but we figured that a giraffe ornament would symbolize much more.
It reminds us of his first bed (the name of the incubator that he was in was called a Giraffe), his room has giraffe's in the decor, and the thing we compared his size to from week one up to now is a giraffe. So needless to say, this ornament not only represents our little baby's first Christmas with us, but it also represents where he has come... from his little tiny body, from the NICU, up to now!

I love this! This is the perfect ornament for him.
How perfect! Ben always gets me an ornament every year and we started it with Logan this year as well. It is so fun to put them on the tree each year and remember all these fun things. I think you got the perfect ornament.
Oh good heavens, that is toooo cute! What a fun idear to do an ornament with such meaning. I can't believe the difference in the 2 pictures. Hard to believe how fast they grow up!
