My Bucket Head

December began with teething, teething and more teething. It happened at a fun time too, right when we were getting rid of her morning bottle and transitioning her to a new class room at school. For a good 2 weeks we had a very cranky whiny sleeped deprived baby. In the 1 year old classroom they eat at little tables and sleep on cots on the floor. What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall in there, especially when she started this. And we were amazed, she did it. She sat at the table and ate her food and started napping my longer than she was in the cribs in the infant room. She was not happy about it for a few weeks, missing her teachers and her friends but when I dropped her off the other day she could not get rid of me quick enough. They are doing so many art projects, she probably brought 8 or so home around x-mas and lots of reading signing, and dancing. Her signing really picked up, along with her vocabulary. She has probably said at least 1 new word every day since early December. I know, my baby is a genius. ;-)

So here is Ms. Bucket Head at 16 months having a little fun in the kitchen while mommy tries to cook dinner....

Hello to all my fans out there!

Then Norah helped put up the x-mas tree. She got really into it, deep in concentration with her daddy. And when it was done she said "tree".

Norah's present from her Granny Janny and Papa NeNe arrived early. We were going to wait until Hannkah (yes, we celebrate both!) but the box was taking up too much space.

Doesn't she look so precious in her chair? We also went to my sister's house for dinner and so they could give Norah a Hannukah present before they moved out of state. She got to seek and destroy non-baby proofed territory.

Look mom, cables and buttons!!
