Chrsitmas festivities have begun!

Can you believe I'm 7 months old now? Here's my 7 month old picture in my blue chair. It's pretty neat to look back and compare this one to all the other pictures of me in this chair. I've grown so much! My feet almost touch the floor now.

Mommy and Daddy have been looking for months for a "My First Christmas" shirt for me. Well... I guess most babies don't need a size 18 month for their first Christmas, because they haven't been able to find one anywhere (not even online!). So Grannie had one monogrammed for me. Actually, there are two, but here's a picture of me in one of them.

Mommy made this cake and these cupcakes for her party at work.
I wish I was old enought to eat a cupcake - I know I would like it!

Christmas means opening preesents! When Daddy came back from Detroit on Thursday he had some Christmas gifts that some of our friends in Michigan sent to me. This is a picture of me opening a gift from Aunt Amy, Uncle Eric, and Kayla. You'll just have to wait to see what I got!

Aunt Shane must really read my blog. She saw that I hoped she'd send me some pictures from the Christ the King Staff Christmas Party I went to with Grannie and Paw-Paw last week. And she sent them! Here they are....

Fr. Wayne and I were playing with my lion, George.

Here I am with Mrs. Sharon.

I'm trying to be patient... I'm certain those presents must all be for me!

Of course there were presents for me! Here I am opening my gifts from Aunt Shane.

Sunday morning I played on the floor in my room. I'm trying really hard to crawl. I have the "army crawl" figured out, I just haven't quite gotten my legs coordinated with my arms yet. Give me a little more time - I'm almost there!

I really like looking at myself in the mirror now. Any time I see a mirror, I get excited!

When I see myself, I like to give myself kisses!

Saturday evening we went to a "Tacky Christmas Party" at Aunt Leslie's house.

Here's Aunt Leslie and Aaron by their tree.

Aunt Leslie gave me presents, too! I'm getting really good at opening them!

Here's my and Mommy and Daddy at the party.

These are our friends Mr. TJ, Mrs. Jenny, and Bronwen. (There's a link to Bronwen's blog on my page on the right.) She's 19 months old. We stood side-by-side and she's only a few inches taller than I am! And her mommy says she's really tall for her age. I must be super tall!

Sunday evening we had Christmas with Grandpa (Daddy's dad, Bruce), Mrs. Judy and her daughters and their families. Mommy had her camera there, but had her hands full with me and didn't get a chance to take many pictures. That's okay, though, because Grandpa took a lot of them! He's going to email them to Mommy so I can put them up here soon.

Stay tuned.... more Christmas festivities to come!!!
