December Snapshots

December was full of crafting, sewing, visiting friends, wrapping, mailing, decorating, cleaning and cooking. And the inevitable sickness. Michelle tied for second place at our church's annual Rose Sunday chili cook off. Celebrated Christmas at home. The following day drove down to Kentucky to see Josh's cousins. Brett and Amanda visited for a day.  Attended and was witness to the baptism of our goddaughter, Rosemary. Gramma and Grampa came and played with the girls, painted our kitchen, added some shelves above the dryer and allowed Josh and I got to go on a date. Then we all got a horrible virus of some sort which had us mostly flat on our backs for a couple of days.

I don't fall down because I'm a doctor. (Immediately after falling down)

Here's your doctor blanket. 

I'm a doctor that makes pizza.

She's very into role playing "Doctor". 

It's not chips because chips are awtard (awkward).

Walking. She Is Walking! Halfway across the room. Wants to go faster but can't. She is smitten with her newfound skill. And she looks just like a baby bird when she's catching her balance because she throws her little arms back so they look like little wings. 

Loves pointing at interesting things, particularly the Christmas lights. Her three favorite pastimes are: carrying babydolls while walking, putting small objects into containers, and crawling all over pillows to lounge on them or roll off them. 

Woke up one morning and pointed at me, "Mama. Baba." and then pointed at Josh "Dah." She is jabbering SO much. This girl has tons to say. 

Starting to interact so much more with Ella. They played for about an hour together one day in the pillows. Just lounging and giggling. I was able to vacuum happily. 

Loves the sled. 

Her eyes just gleam when she sees her daddy. A nice change from baby Ella, who didn't really like Daddy until 2.

Giggles at and hugs babydolls.
