bella: december's favourite things

Here is a short list of the things I have loved in December... Happy New Year: I love to sing the "Wish You A Merry Christmas", but I only sing the word "happy" in the "and a Happy New Year" part. Counting: I am reaching new counting horizons, and I don't get stuck on two any more. I can count to ten, but in no particular order. Elmo: I asked Santa 'Elmo please", and on Christmas he brought me one. He must be a man of his word. Talking: My handle on the English language is really blossoming. I enjoy using words such as "underpants" and putting combinations of words together to form a sentence. Other favorite words include: water, Jeep, upstep, downsteps, backseat, pyjama, and walk. Jumping: I love to jump and I love to climb. Snowclothes: I loved getting all rugged up in the snow, with my snowpants, jacket, hat, mittens, and snowboats. And after 15 minutes in the cold outside, I love to go back in and have my Dad take it all off again! Leighton: I love to give him lots of kisses and try to hold him whenever I can. I love to help him with his pacifier when it falls out of his mouth, and to identify which number he went when Mum changes his daiper.

The picure says it all!

bella & leighton: christmas day

Christmas Day is fun at our house... in our pyjamas, relaxing and playing with lots of fun presents.

bella & leighton: in the snow

We are up in Big Bear celebrating Popa's 60th Birthday. Leighton hasn't been out in the snow too much, but he likes sleeping inside the house and smiling lots. Bella doesn't too much like getting rugged up to get outside (it was 27F (-2C) today and will be 11F tonight), but she loves to stomp on the snow in her snowboots.
