Christmas Pictures

Here are some pictures from Christmas.

All the things she does

So it has been a while since I have posted.  Jennifer is able to do so many things now.  I thought I would share with you all a few of these things.  She can now:

• Crawl
• Cruise along the couch
• Walk with her ride-on plane and stroller
• Feed herself meals (her favorites are baby ravioli, peas, and cheese)
• Drink from a sippy cup (we are almost done with bottles)
• Climb one or two steps
• Stand on her own for about 30 seconds, or until she decides that she needs to sit down
• Climb on the own dishwasher door
• Understand the words bunny, kitty kat, and daddy
• Sign "night-night" and "all done"

It's hard to believe that her first birthday is just around the corner.  One thing I have realized as a parent is that birthdays take on a whole new meaning now.  They truly are a celebration of life, not just another day of the year where you get presents and to feel special.  I no longer mind hearing stories about when I was born or when I was a child, because I hope to share those stories with Jennifer when she gets older.
