First Christmas

Here are Lucy's first Christmas pictures. She was such a good little ladybug - I expected tears given that she sometimes doesn't like unfamiliar situations but she was a champ.

Christmas Photos

Here are the kids Christmas pics this year. I can't believe how big they are getting (and excuse the photo quality - I scanned these).

Almost 10 months!!

Little dolly is almost 10 months old and we just got her to the doctors for her 9 month check up (our doctor was away). She is doing well and is now 30 inches long and weights 17 lbs 7 oz.

Lucy has 4 teeth (her top two came in on November 24) and LOVES to squeal. She screeches and squeals in delight much of the time she is awake. She babbles quite a bit too, but I think she feels like she needs to screech to be heard above her brother. She has also learned to wave and clap which is adorable. She's almost walking but crawls most often because she can do it so quickly and she is still unsteady on her feet.

Seasons Greetings!

Apologies in advance for those who read both of our blogs....

Today was Lucy's first time visiting with Santa - and she did AMAZING (as did Nate, which was a relief)!

And now for the video link:

Happy first Christmas baby girl!

Merry Christmas!

Today the kids got their picture taken with Santa (and Holly the elf). Neither cried, which was amazing!

And the video link:

It was the crazies experience though. Apparently our mall has decided to make sitting on Santa's lap free, but is asking for a donation to a children's charity. This resulted in a huge line up (as every teenager in our city decided they needed their picture with Santa - for a quarter). I hope people really are donating, because the Santa was great, and the money is going to a good cause.
