Addie's Monthly Photo
Aribelle's Monthly Photo
We go to Branson almost every year with Shane's family around this time of year. We decided to get there early on Friday so that the kids could experience the Branson Polar Express train. Although it didn't exactly meet mine and Shane's expectations, the kids were just excited to be ON a train at all. Just walking up to the train station the kids were jumping up and down in excitement.
All about Addie
For Christmas - "Squishy dolls". At first we didn't know what a "squishy doll" was, but then she brought us a toy catalog and showed us these plush Ana Elsa dolls. I think they were maybe 12 inches or something. After a visit to Bed Bath & Beyond though, she saw HUGE squishy dolls and said that "there's the squishy dolls I want for Christmas mama". I just reminded her that she would need to tell Santa. When she woke up Christmas morning, Santa had left a note that he was confused and made her squishy dolls and "my size" plastic dolls. Of course she was overjoyed at the surprise.
All about Cooper
For Christmas - Of course hearing his sister ask for "squishy" dolls, he started asking for them too but he would say "olaf" squishy doll. Santa brought him a work bench and some accessories to go with it... along with an Olaf squishy doll ;)

All about Aribelle
First words - on 12/5 Aribelle said "mama" for the first time. It was more like "mamamamamama" but I'll take it. Shortly after that (the same day), she said it again when I was walking out of the room.
Crawling - She's been kind of crawling backwards for a few weeks but on 12/10 she started crawling forward. It's definitely a belly/army crawl, but forward nonetheless. Although I can't say she gets very far just yet, she at least gets herself to nearby toys.
