Baby, Its Cold Outside!

Thursday marked LilPea's six month birthday. I hardly know where the time went, but on it marches.

Don't worry, we didn't punch her in the eye. LilPea has clogged tear ducts and sometimes her eyes get red at the end of the day.

I'm not going to lie, there's not a lot to do in pleasant southeastern CT in the dead of winter so we've been inventing activities to amuse. Most of these involve watching CPea playing dress up and creating elaborate imaginative scenarios.

This is the catapillar/seat belt scarf game. And below is the slumber party game, Nemo sleeping bag is mandatory.

This is LilPea manning her control center-her favorite place in the world.

"Oh the Places You'll Go!"

"I don't need to pick a card, I already know where I am going."

Oh Baby!

I love the new year. Its a chance to start fresh and put the past in the past. With all the changes scheduled for later this year, we are trying to do our best to live in the present and enjoy each day.

LilPea is speeding through babyhood. She has teeth, loves to eat cereal and veggies and is almost six months. So I thought I would share some pictures of my little baby from our recent trip down to North Carolina.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Babes in Toyland

It was a cheerful Christmas morning in our house. Despite some of Santa's elves staying up until around 2:30 (really-must there be 300 pieces per toy?) We had a delightful Christmas scene.
CPea was especially thrilled to see her living room covered in toys and presents.
I couldn't resist getting her the newer version of underoos.

That plan later backfired when she insisted on spend the whole day in them. Note for the future.

LilPea also enjoyed her first Christmas. Santa brought some lovely socks that tasted just right. She spent the rest of the day trying to eat the wrapping paper.
CPea asked Santa for two things: a kitchen and scisssor.
Its never too early to start on literature. Um, or books you can eat.
