Merry Christmas!

God's blessings come in many different shapes and sizes. We hope this Christmas season you get to experience many of them. Enjoy this special time with friends and family.

The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26

10 Things

10 Things You May Not Know About Bailey:
1. Bailey turned 10 months old on December 13th!
2. She pulls herself up to stand and wants to walk around (with our help, of course) and investigate everything. She just started standing by herself. She is very brave and sometimes makes us a little nervous.
3. She does a great motor boat sound.
4. She criscrosses her ankles and feet--so sweet.
5. She says dada, mama, nana, papa, baba and babbles away.
6. She loves to eat especially pears, clementines, and veggies (unlike her dad). She'll go for green no matter what else is on her tray. She also loves to get the ice out of my glass.
7. She usually eats with her left hand. Both Grandpa and Papa Tom are lefties!
8. She has started to kick things while she is walking around--maybe she'll be a soccer player???
9. She loves to laugh (and make us laugh), clap, and get tickled--her feet are really ticklish.
10. She just started telling us "more" in sign language.

I hope to get some pictures up here soon. I couldn't sign in to the blog to post for several days...

Bailey

Bailey loves to wrestle with her Daddy.

Such a big girl standing up!

She is into everything! It is hard to tell, but Bailey is standing on her tiptoes in this picture.

She also loves to play in the dishwasher and pull the silverware out of the basket. I have to make sure she only plays with the spoons!
