I don't know if everyone else is as excited as we are, but boy, we are excited -- Christmas is almost here!! Yay!!!

Let's start this post off right with a picture of a Sleeping Baby, who, coincidentally, is posed the exact same way right next to me at this very moment. There are few things I love more than pictures of sleeping kids... (my poor kids...)




This is Big Girl and I at the Living Christmas Tree performance that we went to with my parents. It was great. Can't believe how much bigger Big Girl is since I first took her three years ago.


This right here is a naughty little baby. I know she looks cute but boy is she trouble! This day I could NOT keep her out of my kitchen cabinets. Spices are just too much fun apparently. So the result was this:


When I got home from work, Dad had installed this little miracle for me. I don't think I mentioned Baby had also figured out how to open this very gate when we had if casually placed in front of the stairs -- and she LOVES the stairs even more than spices. With this gate where it is, Baby can neither get to the stairs nor the cabinets. I love it (she hates it -- I don't have a pic of her pounding on it in frustration).

Yet another pic of a Sleeping Baby... just can't get enough!!



Baby also despises this hat, and most hats pretty much (can you tell??). But isn't it darling??? Big Girl picked it out for her -- great pick, Big Sis!!



Yesterday morning, Baby decided to help out with the swiffering while enjoying her morning bottle. What a multi-tasker!

It really wore her out though...


She slept all the way through our shopping trip to Toys-R-Us!

And last but not least, this video is from last night. Baby's new favorite night activity is throwing herself around on Mom and Dad's bed. I'm feeling kind of bad for Big Girl since Baby's new bed is all set up now in their room and we'll probably *try* to move her next week. We'll see how that one goes!
