Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

We got dressed up in our Christmas outfits and went to see Santa today. There was even snow falling outside of his house!!

Houston, We Have a Problem

Just when we thought we were sure to make it through Christmas and the New Year, it happened... Lola stood on her own for about 15 seconds after standing up straight in the middle of the floor.

Then it got worse... she started walking. As of yet, Mommy and Daddy haven't seen it. However Memaw, Katie, and Noah are confident that Lola can take up to 5 steps at a time before falling.

Boy are mommy and daddy in trouble now!!!!

Noah's Christmas Party at Fairmont

Mommy got the morning off and was able to come to my Christmas party at Fairmont. Memaw and Lola got to come too.

First we listened to a story that our teacher read.


Then we sang songs for the parents.


Next we went to see Santa. I got to sit on his lap and ask him for Legos and Polly Pocket for Christmas. I also got a candy cane from Mrs. Claus.


Lola got to visit with Santa too - it was her first time. She didn't even cry. She seemed more interested in Santa's belt buckle than actually talking to him. So, I told Santa that Lola wanted a life for Christmas (That was because when Lola crys, Daddy always says, "Get a Life!" I also told him that Lola needed a butt for Christmas (I figured Mommy doesn't have one and neither do I, so Lola might need one too).




We had time for a class picture - boy are my teachers patient. 30 four-year-olds can make a lot of noise and it takes a while to get everyone in place.


Then we had a party - I liked the fruit salad better than anything else - even the cupcakes.

Signs of the Times

Lola has learned to do some signs now. She can sign "more" and "milk". She doesn't always use them, but everyone agrees that she knows what she means. She has been doing "more" regularly for about 2 weeks now, but some feel she was signing "more" fairly well as far back as the weekend we went to Disneyland in October. Milk is a new sign, but I think she is realizing how important it can be. It is cute to watch how much coordination and thought goes in to moving her hands and fingers to make it look like she is milking a cow.

Are you tired of pics of my kids yet?

Some pics for fun!!

Christmas Tree Decorating

We managed to decorate the tree while daddy was at work. We helped mommy a lot!! She said that she couldn't have done it without us. We were very careful with the ornaments because Mommy says that they are special. Noah broke 2 ornaments - but it wasn't his fault (or so he says). Lola even managed to break one - who knew that by shaking the tissue paper that one would come flying out and hit the wall. Luckily no one was hurt in the process.

DA DA DA DA DA DA

Lola can now saw Da-Da (although mommy still says that Lola likes her best). Memaw taught her this week.

Noah has been trying to teach her a word too. Mommy caught him with her the other day... he was saying "Ca-Li-For-Nia. When mommy asked him what he was doing, he said that it was about time that Lola learned to talk and he was teaching her his first word.

If she is able to get it down fairly soon - it might be one of her first. We were reminiscing about Noahs first words ... more, da-da, ba-ba, ma-ma, encyclopedia, and diarrhea (and we are not kidding). That is what happens when your cousins teach you your first words.
