Christmas Post

It's been a month and a half since the last entry on this blog and Sonia has grown up so much since then. The biggest change has been in her vocabulary. It's exploded. Here's a funny example of it... This morning, Sonia was next to me when I yelled out to Don from another room, "Honey... Can you make a bottle for Myah?" Next thing I know, Sonia is tearing down the hallway calling, "Honey! Honey! Honey!" Now THAT was REALLY cute.

Sonia is a GREAT big sister. She gets down in Myah's face and makes her laugh and the two of them giggling together is enough to make even a grinch's heart do little happy somersaults.

For Christmas, Sonia got a rocking horse, a mini grand piano, a shopping cart with fake food, two dolls, a beautiful handmade blanket, a new outfit, a movie and other smaller yet very fun items. When we heard her wake up on Christmas morning, we went into her room to say "hello" and get her ready to open her presents. While she was on the changing table, I asked her, "Do you have any idea what might be in any of the presents?" And I got the cutest answer... She got a big, big smile on her face and said in her oh-so-adorable voice... "stickers?" hehe... she would have been just fine with stickers. Her birthday is just around the corner and needless to say, I'm definately getting her some stickers. :-)

Here are some pictures all taken in December:

(For the record, she would NOT sit on Santa Claus's lap.)

Christmas Eve - I told her she could give her dolly a bath.

I go to check on her and...
