Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We had a fantastic Christmas with the kids this year, and a great two week holiday. Nate was super excited this year and now asks if everything we own is from Santa.


I think I'll have to post our pictures in a couple of different posts, so here are the first ones from Nate and I (and Lucy) making cupcakes:

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!
