Here is the annual picture with the snowman. Sophia was about James' size this time last year. My how they grow!!!
Santa brought a full kitchen for the kids. We have had hours of fun already.
Uncle John and James - we love the new hat!!
Becky came over to watch James and Sophia while Jim and I went to the Beeson Christmas at Bob's house. Sophia got to play with Matthew and Adam and as you can tell by her face, she had a wonderful time!
Sophia got a princess outfit from Aunt Beck. She LOVES it and almost everyday she asks to be a princess. She calls herself "Princess Phia".Well, that is just a few of our holiday pictures. It was a wonderful holiday and thankfully Jim was off of work for the whole week of Christmas so that was very nice. Unfortunately that means that the next Christmas he will probably have to work but I guess that just comes with the territory.
Sophia update: Today Sophia started to sing the ABC's all by herself. She has been singing the song with us but now she just sings it on her own. She sings all the time. She doesn't always like it though if you join in with her. Apparently she wants that stage to herself :) Sophia also spelled HOT today. I don't know if she will remember it tomorrow but today that was the big buzz word. She also started to use plurals in her speech - she was looking through a book with me and she said "Mommy, two eggs." Very smart! She got to play in the snow today with Jim and she REALLY liked that. She helped shovel the driveway.
James update: James still has croup although he is sounding better at night. The steroids turns him into a little devil every once in a while but he will be off of the medicine in about 2 days. Today he started taking steps with his little walker. This was great I thought. He is also "crawling" (belly crawl) all around the house now too. When he sees something he wants, he is going to go and get it. There is part on the refrigerator that comes apart at the bottom of it and for some reason he really likes to crawl towards it and take if apart. He is starting to give Hi-5's and pointed to my nose today (although he is not real consistent yet). He still refuses to take the sippy cup or the cup with the straw and only wants his bottle. Oh well - we have plenty of time for him to learn. OH! - and James has given up the pacifier -all on his own! I love it!
