I am so ridiculously far behind on posts, mostly because my computer won't work with blogger anymore -ugh. Anyway, here's just a quick overview of the past few days...
* Reid is almost crawling! I CANNOT believe it! It's way too early for that and he still seems like such a baby to me - how could he be almost crawling already?! I'm not ready for this. But apparently he is. For the past week, he's been getting up on all fours and then dropping down after a few seconds. Last night, he stayed up on all fours for awhile and just kept rocking back and forth, ending up lunging himself forward. Today he did it every time I put him down on the floor or in his crib. He must be anxious to keep up with his sister who literally runs circles around him all day!
* Friday evening we went out with my parents to see the big Christmas tree and Santa at the shopping area by their house. As soon as Sierra saw the tree, she got SOOOO excited and kept saying "YOOK (look)! Christmas! YAY!!" over and over. She stood at the bottom of the tree and just looked up, amazed at how big it was. Then she had fun looking at her reflection in all of the giant ornament balls, pointing out each color. Santa was on a break, so we waited a little bit (short line and free, by the way!). She was very excited to see Santa...until she actually saw Santa...and then wanted nothing to do with him. So I had to hold her in the pictures. She stopped crying when he gave her a candy cane, but still would not even touch him. We considered it a practice run since it was spontaneous and the kids were wearing a pink butterfly dress and a blue striped shirt - not quite the Christmas outfits that go in the typical Santa picture. So we'll try again later. Maybe she can be bribed, knowing there's a candy cane at the end of the deal... :)
* We put up our Christmas tree at home last night and some other decorations and Sierra loves it all. I LOVE seeing the joy spread across her face every time she sees it. Priceless. She calls all of it "Christmas". She points to the tree and says "Yook! It's Christmas! Can I touch it?". She pointed to the lights outside our neighbors' house today and said "WoW! Yook, Mommy! It's Christmas!". So. Precious.
* Sierra is so expressive and has her own way of emphasizing certain things that she's excited about when she talks. Here are a few examples from the last couple of days:
"That's a PURPLE PURPLE balloon!"
"No, Mommy. We are NOT NOT NOT going home!"
"Goo going to sit RIGHT RIGHT there."
