A pleasant suprise!

I know I said I wouldn't be posting again until after we had survived a half-dozen Christmas parties - but Zig and I snapped some awesome pictures and I wanted to share them as soon as possible!

During play-time each day, I work with Brookie to be able to hold her own toys! Up until now, she has just looked at things and squealed with delight at how funny they were, but within the last few days, she has started grabbing onto toys and, of course, putting them straight into her mouth! I took some of the hanging toys from the play-mat and gave them to her - and she loved them! Her favorite is definitely the turtle that rattles! She has had him in her hand most of her waking minutes of the last day or so! It's so funny - if I walk away from her for a minute, I know she's OK because its only a few seconds until I hear turtle rattling away! It reminds me of those adorable jingle bell shoes that little girls wear once they start walking! We've GOT to have them in a few months! Aunt Meggie - be on the lookout for those!
Our big girl is now a 'high-chair-sitter-inner' as well! In preparation for our Christmas party with Kathy, I knew that Miss Marlee has been sitting in her chair to eat! I brought Brooke's upstairs for Marlee to use while she's here, and ended up putting Beamer in it to test it out! She loved it! She squealed and smacked her hands on the tray! So last night, we lowered it as far as it would go, and wheeled her into the living room to eat her cereal like a big girl in the high chair! How cute! She sat in it this morning to eat her breakfast cereal too... She loves it!
I said to Zig last night...
"Hunny, our BABY is already sitting in a high chair...before we know it she'll be walking and talking!" What a strange thought!
I can hardly believe it, but Beam is still sleeping right now from a goofy-timed afternoon nap! It's so unbelievable since she slept until 10:30 this morning! She must be a sleeper like her Daddy...or maybe this teething thing is wearing her out!
OK - for real this time - Enjoy the last few pictures until this site turns into Christmas overload!
Merry Christmas everyone! Think snow!
