Out and About

Well just another fun filled weekend! Saturday we went to visit Aunt Denise & Uncle Dave their house. Sunday we went to lunch at The Outback with Uncle Shah. It is so nice to visit with them outside of work.
Yup, I still put her in Christmas PJ'S. They still fit and I just love them, they are so cute and soft. Carter's clothes are my favorite. If we are going somewhere and don't want her outfit to get messy she will stay in her pj's untill after her morning nap and lunch. Then its dressed and off we go!
More pancakes, please

Lunchtime Mac n cheese and peas, please


Saying Goodbye

Steak please

Uncle Shah is always so good to her

I love how you can see her eye through the glass

Library Day & Aunt Denise!!!

Today was such a busy & fun day! I was so excited to see the library have story time on a Saturday! As soon as the Liberian instructing the class saw Danika, she went on to tell me how good she is and that she is always happy. I guess she is becoming a favorite there. I mentioned how happy I was there was a class on Saturday and she told me she can schedule more classes for Saturdays and I would love that!

I was a little upset at first that Danika kept wanting to crawl away from me and stared at the other moms and babies. But then I thought that is a good thing to want to go explore and be social.

At the end we sang Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and were giving these props.

I know it would go straight to her mouth and get ripped up. Luckily we didn't have to give them back anyway.

Later on in the day Aunt Denise came over for Christmas! She got a pull phone.



Dr. Seuss book collection

And the mailbox which I love! It is so cute!

Thank you Aunt Denise for coming over to play!

Library Time & Lunch

These are the only pictures Paul took at story time today. He said the time went by really quickly. I told him he must do better! If I can't be there, then I want to see some good pictures! We shall see how he does next time. Well she is out and able to move around if she wants and now there are babies younger then her that have to be held up, oh I remember those days. But she didn't want to crawl, I am sure by next time she will go exploring.
