Merry Christmas!

Waving

I LOVE Peaches waves. She has two. One is just an up and down motion of her whole arm and hand, and the other is a sweet opening and closing of her hand.What I love most is that it's "backwards". She opens and closes it towards herself, as she sees us doing. She does both versions in this video.

Funny Friday

Happy Friday! :)

Leftover Thursday

Peaches has discovered that she can wheel herself over to the toy basket and pull it out. I usually put her in the walker while I'm making dinner and she's great at emptying all the baskets. 

 

 Caught in the act!

We're going to have to lower the crib mattress soon!

Happy Re-birthday to Buggy!

I bought her some Christian fiction "tween" novels.

One day after church I thought it was funny that Papa had three girls and a dog crowded around him trying to see what he was doing. You can't even see Buggy in there. :)

That's all for now. Happy Thursday!

Wordless Wednesday

Baby's First Snow

We've had a few light snows but hadn't had a chance to take Peaches out to introduce her to it. Finally we had a Saturday morning we were all home so we decided to go for it. 

Getting into the snowsuit caused a few tears. She was having a Christmas-Story-Alfie-esque situation. I had to sit her down to put my coat on and she tipped over and couldn't roll over. Haha!

Once we got outside and the whole family was staring at her she perked up.

"Yay me!"

"Huh. There is an odd sensation creeping over me. They're saying it's 'cold'. Interesting."

Daddy tried to sit her up in the snow but the suit wouldn't let her so she tipped over. 

"Yeah this is not so good."

We finally got her sitting up but she was DONE! 

Someone was commiserating apparently.

 She had been outside for 20 minutes and already gotten cold and come back in and taken everything off even though I asked her to leave all her stuff on. Then she had a small  meltdown because she didn't like her snowsuit and didn't want to put it back on so I told her to just put a coat and her boots on while we went out. That would have worked out fine, but then she fell over and got snow all over herself and had a major meltdown!
Ugh.

At least we had two happy snow bunnies! I guess 2 out of 4 is not too bad! Haha!

Gingerbread Houses

 For a craft night at church one of the ladies did home-made gingerbread houses! About 20 of them! She said it took quite a while...I can imagine!

The girls were so excited to make gingerbreads! They had gingerbread men for the kids to do. Boo turned hers upside down and made reindeer! Cute!

Peanut just used about a pound of sprinkles! Haha!

I tried to get started on mine but Peaches had missed her afternoon nap and wasn't content to sit in a highchair next to me. I tried to work with her in my lap for a bit, but that didn't work out so well either. 

So I gave up and let Peanut and Boo decorate my house.

I looked over at Peanut's gingerbread man, "Where's his head?" I asked. "In my TUMMY!" she answered happily!

Here is one of my friends houses. I thought she did a great job!

And here is the one of the lady who made all these. She wasn't finished yet, but it was so pretty!

And here's what we came home with. :) 

It was a fun night!
