First Christmas


Baby G has a wonderful first Christmas. My mom is out of town because my neice is getting married tomorrow so we were only in for traveling to Oberlin this year to be with Amelia's family. It was, as usual, lovely.

G was cranky pretty much the entire time which lately has been typical for her. She got tons of stuff from her Nonny and Pop Pop, her moms, and of course from Santa.




Oh and we got a Wii fit for Christmas so by next year I promise I'll be so hot! ;)

Oh and for Jojo, a picture of G's first two teeth! Click the picture to make it bigger!

Ethan

So the friends I mentioned in the previous post had their baby, and his name is Ethan. We went to see him tonight after arriving home from the holidays at Grant and damn is he cute.

Baby G totally has dibs!

Wishing and Hoping

So my friends who are due to have their first baby boy in January are having some medical troubles. It seems baby E is quite small for a baby that only has one more month for cooking...so because I don't pray and am not religious, I'm writing this post to send out warm wishes, hugs, kisses, squeezes, tickles and whatever else I can send out into the big, huge universe for E's safe arrival. We love you baby E!

Early December

It's been an eventful early December around here.

We've pretended to be reindeer!

Learned to drink (sorta) from a sippy cup!



Worn our favorite new onesie that says "I AM NOT A BOY!"



Worn our fur coat with the cutest ears ever!

Bought a Christmas tree!




Dressed up as a princess for Doreen and Kristen's engagement Party!





Learned to stand up (Sorta)!


Snuggled with Charlotte!





Snuggled with my Christmas dog!




And we're tired already! See you soon, we are planning on spending the rest of December waiting for Santa Claus! Enjoy the rest of yours!

Babies

Babies have taken over the world. Congratulations to the newest addition to our world, Baby Vincent, Congratulations Katie and Fran!

Next up baby E due in January, and another baby E (a girl this time) due in February!

WOOHOO, oh and my friend Jamie just found out that she and her husband will be having a baby in about 81/2 months...this is so great!

Walmart

Since Amelia was laid off we've been doing some shopping at Walmart completely and totally against our best judgement. We both had taken the vow to never shop there but when not one single person in your household has a job, vows tend to be bent a bit.

One thing that I do love about Walmart is the people who shop there, if you are easily offended please stop reading here so that you can hold on to your respect for me.

It is especially pleasing for me when I walk into Walmart because I virtually turn into Gisele Bundchen wearing the latest and greatest from Victoria's Secret. The men who shop there with there wives, who have about as many teeth as baby G, love me. They fawn over me, so rarely are they greeted by more than two teeth and someone who can actually button her jeans without the use of a rubber band. My clothes are clean and it is likely that I have actually showered on the said day of the shopping trip. I'm certain that my hair smelling of fresh fruit is quite a treat over the alluring scent of day old cigarette smoke. The men there make me feel great, they give me second and even third looks. They hold the door for me, they hand me things from the tall shelves that I cannot reach, they even allow themselves to be caught (and punched) by their girlfriends/wives while looking at me.

Is it terrible of me to bask in this glory? I think not, oh why oh why can't everyday be Walmart day?
