Holidays are here! Someone is getting in the spirit!

Daycare offers so many great things – introducing her to new activities (I didn’t even know she could sit up unsupported until I walked in to see her doing it there one afternoon!), Playing with other kids, but most of all, they put adorable hats on her and send me photos.

Or they make art projects and send photos of the process if I’m lucky!

She made her own Christmas tree with the paint and thoroughly enjoyed it.

We had a big time today seeing Santa in our fancy Christmas dress when we went with Gigi to the holiday market downtown. 

Santa photos forthcoming.

Otherwise, life is moving along at lightning speed per usual. Ember’s favorite thing to do (aside from make monster noises “aaaahhhh!”) is to sit up.

And also smack things.

She’s trying new foods every few days and so far enjoys: pumpkin, squash, carrots, sweet potatoes (orange things), avocado, corn, peas, and is beginning to learn to enjoy spinach and broccoli. Cauliflower and Lima beans were an absolute No Go, but I can’t really blame her on those.

Sometimes she thinks she’s big enough to feed herself (she isn’t).

We’re having new adventure every day and such fun. No question that she’s the best gift I could have ever wished for.
