We got so busy DOING during December, that I haven't had time to write it all down! I do have pictures of everything, though, so I'm going to let them speak for themselves. (what kind of convoluted English is that...?!)
We did soooooooo much fun stuff this December! Christmas definitely took all month. :-)
Sara said she wanted one. Then she decided she didn't like the "peanuts" (pecans). She said she DID like the "surgar," though. Evidently so. Here's her cookie as I later found it.
Paisley, you are four months old! I can barely even believe it. (I know... I say that every month.)
Not a lot has changed this month, except that you are still growing! You're a little over 13 pounds now, still my petite little girl (though that's actually the 50th percentile for breastfed baby girls).
You are still a great sleeper. You sleep 12 hours at night (9:30p-9:30a), with one waking around 5:45-6am to eat, and you take a long nap each afternoon from 2:30~6:00p.
Oh my word, you are a happy baby! You smile on cue (the cue being smiling at you!), and you are giggling a lot these days. You LOVE peek-a-boo, and you also think it's hilarious when I blow a little puff in your face. You suck your breath in really big, and grin and giggle. You talk a LOT, and when you do, you make the funniest faces. You are such a social little girl. In fact, if you are crying (and it's not because you're hungry, wet, or tired), it's most likely because you are lonely! You don't like to be out of the loop. If we are driving in the dark, I have to turn the light on over your seat, or else you cry because you think you're by yourself.
We all just crazy love you! Tucker is quite protective of you. A funny story from this past month: Nannie was teasing Tucker, and said, "Hey Tucker, does Paisley need a spanking?" He immediately put his arm in front of you and hollered, "NO! You stop that, Nannie!" =o We all cracked up at that. Such a sweet (though sometimes overly aggressive!) brother.
Here are some pictures of you from today, talking to Mama
Today was brought to you by the letter "T" and Mary Saldivar! :-) She called me yesterday and said she had two tickets to Arkansas & Missouri Railroad's Children's Christmas Train, but that she didn't need them, and would we like them? Definitely!!!
We had soooo much fun! The train ride was about 40 minutes, and included caroling elves and a visit from old Santy Britches. (aka Santa Claus :p ) There was also a lot of fun stuff to do before and after the train ride. I'll let the pictures and video do the rest of the talking...
Sara was pretty mesmerized by the whole thing.
Mom and Maggie came. Yay!!
Sweet Pay-so
Tucker was handsome, even if I couldn't get him to take a good picture :-)
When we got home, we watched Toy Story 3 (about 20 minutes -- it was late!!) and had popcorn.
We are loving all the Christmas fun. Tomorrow is a big day! You'll just have to wait and see... :-)
