Our baby girl is 7 months old already. Here she is wearing a new outfit from Great Grandma & Grandpa W.(thank you) It is so nice & soft.
Calleigh does a funny sort of laugh now. She is still a happy girl except when Mommy is out of sight. She has really became Mommy's girl and makes strange now.
Here is a dessert we enjoyed over the holidays. Thought I'd share the recipe with you.
Only 8 more sleeps until Christmas but Calleigh just couldn't wait. She rolled herself to the tree, pulled off a bow then started opening a gift of hers.
"Ahh, paper, I love it."
Simon goes to storytime every Wednesday. He really enjoys it and is breaking out of his shell. They sing a hello song at the beginning & the kids hug or hi-5 the puppet. When they would sing to Simon, he would turn the other way but this week, for the 1st time, he got up & hugged the puppet.
This week was special because they had cookies, juice & a visit from Santa. Santa brought the boys & girls a gift(book).
Simon looks more scared than he really was. He said "Hello Santa" when he came in and he even answered his questions.
Tonight was our concert at Church. Here the boys are reciting a poem called "The Candy Cane". They both did really. I didn't think Simon would say it but he did right along with the kids who are 3 years older than him.
"The Candy Cane"
Micah was Joseph and Simon was a shepherd. My shy little Simon was far from shy. When he was walking up the aisle he said, "Hi Mom" quite loud. I was sitting with the choir at the front, left side. While he was up on stage he was good but every once in awhile had something to say, "Hi Papa, look what I have" At the end of the program I left my seat in the choir to check on Calleigh. The kids all stayed on stage while Pastor gave his message. Simon called to the back of the church, "Hey, Mom, you pose ta sit over dere" as he pointed to the choir. He amazed me really since he is normally quite shy.
The pictures aren't great but they are better than nothing.
This year we bought an pre-lit artificial tree. Since we were married we have always had a real tree each year. Simon was really into decorating this year. Micah & Simon did mostof it. I put the ribbon & beads on & the boys put the ornaments on.
I hadn't done any Christmas baking this year. I usually have it all done by now.I found this recipe so we tried it. It is very good. I love anything with cream cheese.
Micah's grade one class has been studying all about bears. To finish off their unit, they had a teddy bear picnic and their families were invited to join them.
Micah's school has an assembly once a month and for November it was Inside Out/Backwards Day. So Micah has his pants on inside out & his sweater on backwards. While Micah was getting ready for school, Simon said he wanted be the same.
