Halle & Lyla: December 2008

It's Christmas Time! Mommy loves Christmas, we have to listen to Christmas music all the time, I like it, but Daddy gets kinda tired of it. This weekend we went to Winnipeg to stay at the Fort Garry Hotel for Mommy's work party. We also went Christmas shopping and I sat on Santas lap. I was a very good girl, I was a little nervous and tensed up and made a face I've never made before, but I wasn't even close to crying so I did great. We also found a Christmas tree last weekend and got it all decorated. It was really fun playing with the lights. I have been pretty good so far, I'm getting a little braver and have gone over to it a few times to check it out, I've only taken 1 swipe at it. And I haven't even touched the presents.

I've done a lot of things in the last 2 weeks. I have two more teeth. That makes 5. I have gone 4 nights only waking up once to eat!! It's amazing. Mommy and Daddy can't beleive it. Although it did take some work, 2 rough nights of crying in my crib and that was it. We will wait a few more months before we try going the entire night. Yesterday I stood up on my own a bunch of times, and I've started dancing a lot. When Mommy watches Ellen in the morning I go over to the chair so I can stand up and dance. I can also walk around the whole house with my walking toy. I'm very proud!

Well the next time I post will probably be after Christmas. We will have lots of pictures, and I might be walking by then, that is Mommy's prediction.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
