Merry Christmas from The Maverick!

There are 7 days until Christmas 2009! My mommy and daddy have the Christmas tree decorated, but not much else looks festive at our house. Daddy has finished his shopping, but Mommy still has some to do. It has been really chilly, so she has been putting it off. Now, she is sick (again) and can't be out in the cold and rainy weather. I'm sure she will get it done by the 25th.

I am almost 27 weeks gestation now. Each week, I do/learn more and more. I am moving a lot and now even Daddy can feel it! My eyes are open these days; if you shine a flashlight at my mommy's belly, I will move away from it! I can also taste now! Soon I will be letting my mommy know whether we like the same foods or not.

Merry Christmas to all of you! If you are traveling, please be safe. If you will be in the Nashville area and have some good food, please bring some to me and my mommy! Talk to you next year!

Love, Master Dallas John Cooks
