December Highlights

We had a lot going on this December (in addition to Mommy going back to work). So here are some highlights - and I"ll keep adding a few per day until I feel as though I've sufficiently documented it!

Zoë started solids. And like her sister at the same age, she is already fighting me for the spoon. She loves it, even though she is only eating about a tablespoon per day of rice cereal.

Daddy visited Amelia's class and read some stories to her friends.

Amelia "smiles" in church on Christmas Eve.

Zoë sleeps in church on Christmas Eve.

And Zoë is the quietest but most alert Christmas pageant baby Jesus ever. That is the only picture I got - I really didn't want to be that obnoxious and walk all the way down the aisle and take a picture... So, for your reference: the girl in blue is Mary and she is holding our Jesus, who also doubled as an angel because she was so good!

Highlights Christmas 2010

A Christmas Video

We have had an amazing Christmas Day. Amelia was very excited for this first Christmas that she could really understand. A video for your enjoyment:

Thank you to all of our family and friends for the wonderful gifts. On a personal note thank you to Becky, Edie and Heidi for the best surprise present I have ever received.

Vacation is finally here!

Amelia has had some really funny comments over the last couple of days. She called the freezer the "icer" and when her hair pigtails were falling out she said that her "hair was leaking."

Funnies from today:

Number One

A: Why did Grandmother buy me this car seat?
Me: Because she loves you and wanted you to be safe!
A: Where is she at?
M: Remember? She had to go to heaven so we can't see her anymore; but we can think about her and sometimes we might even feel like she is inside of us.
A: Mommy, she is not in my belly.

Number Two

A: Is Santa bringing Yoda presents?
M: Uh, why yes he is. What should he bring him?
A: A tail warmer.
M: Like to keep his tail warm when he is outside?!
A: Yes. And a hat and mittens, too.

5 Months!

Zoë is now 5 months old and turning into a little girl... hard to believe! We again have our picture round-up:

No months and sleeping with Mom (which has not changed yet... but over Christmas break Mom is going to develop some tougher skin and work on that... :))

One Month

Two months

Three months

Four months

Five months - LOOK WHO IS SITTING UP!!!!!!!

Guess who's back...back again...

CARL!

O Christmas Tree...

I love the tree in my house!!!!!

She's saying, "Where's Amelia?!"

That's a face we'll see with an attitude in about 12 years...

A: Eeeeeeeeek so excited about Christmas!
Z: Mmmmm, this toe looks so tasty...

"Okay, fine, Mom, I"ll pose once. But that's it."

Baptized!

The Z got the big B a few weeks ago and we got some great pictures from a church friend yesterday... It was a really beautiful service.


Zoë was baptized with one other little boy who had a big sister named Emelia! SO, the priest had the idea that the two Amelias with different spellings help bless the baptism water. The above picture shows that - it was really cool.

Zoë with one of her godmothers after the blessings.

Just relaxing

Zoë enjoys some Thanksgiving football.

A train ride

We took Amelia on a train ride while away for Thanksgiving. We traveled for 3 stops, walked around, and then came back. She LOVED it and had a very hard time understanding why we got off and had to wait for another train.

Eagerly awaiting our train...

The train's whistle blew and she was so excited! (no there's nothing wrong with her eye...I just messed up in trying to clean up the red eye in the photo editor...)

Super excited with Daddy

Waiting for our train ride home...

Checking out the world as it passed us by!
