Just wanted to upload some pics of the girls in all their Christmas gear. They have too much of it, but I couldn't resist. Not too many new things to report on them. Natalie still sits most of the time. She is flipping on her tummy if she has to. No huge advances in crawling. That's OK though. She is good at other stuff, like being cute. Plus, I would only like to deal with one mobile child at a time! Delanie is doing well with the crawling. She came all the way down the hall to see me tonight. She claps when I say yeah, she is putting food in her mouth, understands patty cake, and loves to play peek-a-boo. This is all stuff I've noticed this week. She has been saying something along the lines of 'Pop' and 'Bye-Bye'. Or, she could just be saying 'babababa', and we make it into something it isn't :) Natalie does say 'MaMaMa' when she wants something. Natalie is pretty funny about the stuff she sees Delanie do. Today, Delanie was taking some food out of my hand and putting it into her mouth. Every time she did it, I would say 'Yeah!' and clap my hands. So then it became a thing after every bite, Delanie would smile and clap. Natalie noticed I wasn't clapping when she ate the food out of my hand (she bends over and sucks it off of my hand). So she picked up the food and tried and tried to put it in her mouth. I would try to help, and she would jerk her hand away. Then she dropped it. I put another in my hand, and she just bent over and sucked it off my hand again. It was pretty funny. It was like she was saying, 'Eh clap for her. I just want to eat.' They are just so much fun right now. It is really a joy to be home with them.

Hope you all enjoy Christmas this year and remember the true Reason for the Season!

Rotating Tree

It took me a bit longer than usual, but I got my house completely decorated last week. I added a new addition to my tree this year. A rotating base! Yes, that's right. My tree rotates. I decided to make a video of it so you can all see it!
