Merry Christmas

It's a few days late, but hopefully it was a wonderful celebration for all.  Seanna really enjoyed the holidays this year and I think she is going to be very disappointed when everyone's Christmas lights displays have been taken down and all the decorations put away--the only person she won't miss --SANTA.  She is NOT a big fan of his this year, so we will have to begin working on promoting him a little earlier next year.  She has really begun talking the last two weeks and has even started putting small sentences together--"where's Daddy" and "Bye Bye Jess".  She has even added several words to her vocabulary over the last week-apple (we walked into the grocery store on Saturday and she shouted "APPLE" at the top of her lungs when she saw the apple bin),  Up, Moon (she is obsessed with the moon), mammaw and grama and pappa.  She is really doing great!

Her favorite show on television is Yo Gabba Gabba--she gets to watch a small amount of TV every morning when we're trying to get breakfast ready and get daddy off to work.

Her favorite food--now that is tricky since it seems to be changing from day to day.  She loves to eat our oatmeal in the morning (she now gets her own bowl as she almost eats the entire bowl), she still loves fruit, especially frozen blueberries which are a chocolate mess to serve her, and finally whatever mom and dad are eating is what she wants for dinner.

She is able to run and is extremely coordinated these days.  She is starting to throw a ball and we bought her a tee and bat for Xmas to work on her hand eye coordination.  She is a great climber and problem solver as she has already learned how to scale a ladder at Gymboree and is also able to open the diswasher and climb on the sofas.

Hope everyone is well and had a safe and lovely holiday season.  We would love to hear how you are all doing...

JR Firefighter in Training

Seanna and I went on a field trip last week to our local firehouse for a tour.  At first, she wasn't quite sure what to think-but when she and I were able to jump into the cabin of the fire truck and she came alive!!  She waived at everyone as soon as the door shut and told them "bye-bye"...  when we got home and still to this day, she wears her little red fire hat around the house and laughs when she looks in the mirror.

We've been frantically getting ready for the holidays.  Seanna absolutely loves Xmas lights and when she likes a particular set up in someone's yard, she grins from ear to ear and yells "LIGHTS".  She is DEFINITELY not a fan of santa this year, we tried to get a photo and she wasn't having it.

Hope everyone is well and early Merry Xmas wishes!
