Four Months

I Love These Girls

I love watching Grace and Leah interact.  I think they're going to be great friends.

Yesterday I attempted to take some portraits of Leah (her official "Three Month" portrait, just one month late).  I dressed her in the same little dress my mom dressed me in back in 1984 for my Three Month Portrait at Sears.  I wasn't entirely successful; it was a struggle taking pictures of Leah while Grace was in the room!  Grace hopped in this one, so I went with it!  More pictures to follow...

WHOA!

O Christmas Tree

Last Saturday was the third annual trip to Tridelphia Tree Farm for our family.  I reluctantly let go of the idea that a Christmas tree isn't a Christmas tree unless it's a Douglas Fir, and we settled on a white pine, which I'll admit is rather shapely and charming.  It only took 30 seconds for my husband to saw it down!  I was impressed.  Leah was asleep.  Grace was cold and couldn't move very well in all her layers, but she was a little interested:

"I'm cold and my nose is running."

Leah is strapped to me in the Baby Bjorn carrier under the blanket.  She missed the whole thing!
We got around to decorating the tree on Friday night while MomMom and Poppy Wilson were visiting.  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here!

A Girl and Her Christmas Sprinkles

Grace had a very special playdate with her Grandma Deterding this morning.  She got to make some Christmas cookies.  I'm sure she was loving every minute of it...she recently began showing an interest in all cooking, baking and meal preparation that goes on in my kitchen!

Grandma snapped these pictures of their adventures in the kitchen!
