Holiday after holiday

Today is Christmas. Yesterday was Thanksgiving. That's what Mommy says. I'm not sure that's right, because everyone else seems to think that Christmas is a little bit away. She said it's because we won't be seeing Grammy and Papa and the aunties and uncles on this side of the family at Christmas. So here's how it went...

Auntie Rachel and Mr. Patrick came on Thursday morning. We got to play a little and I showed her how cute I looked in one of the outfits she got me. I found a nice, comfy place to sit, too.
She wanted to see the beginnings of my teeth that showed up. Yup! I'm getting teeth! So I was checking out her teeth too.

All Mommy's sisters played with me and took lots of pictures.

Auntie Joy and I watched some Baby Einstein.


After Thanksgiving dinner, and after alot of football watching by the big people, we decided it was time to open presents early. We didn't want to wait til the morning time. Uncle Jody was there and he had to go home, so we wanted to open while he was there.

This was part of my present pile. Isn't that just silly!?!


Pop started opening one for me and then he let me try some. I liked the crunchy paper.
I got alot of neat warm clothes from Auntie Rachel and Uncle Patrick. I also got some fun books and toys from the aunties and uncles.

Today we played some games this morning, well, I watched while they played on something that sounds like We. The big boys played lots of funny games with it and I cheered for Pop.
Then we had Christmas Dinner. Two big dinners in two days! Grammy is a good cook, though, so we had lots of yummy food both days. Since Uncle Jody wasn't here today, I got to sit in his spot. It was fun to sit at the table. Pop even gave me some food, but I didn't care about that. I just let it sit on my tray. I was having fun just making noise on my tray.
Auntie Joy read me some books while the big kids played some more.
Then Auntie Rachel and Mr. Patrick left to go home. Tomorrow we'll drive some more in the car and go see some friends. Then we'll go to Grandma C's house. I don't think we'll have more holidays, though.

Mommy report: Chatty girl

Braska's been just loving her words lately. She's still signing some, mostly when we're in public or around strangers, but she's adding more words all the time. Many of her words are just attempts at the actual word, but that's where we all start, right?!? We're not saying that she'll be giving speeches next month, but we are very proud that she's become such a mimic and that she is loving using so many sounds. We practice often, just running through her words, signs, and tricks. She especially loves to chime in with videos of herself, so I've been working on compiling all her favorites for her to work with. As I was editing this, she was sitting here saying the words over and over. So funny to hear her talking to herself on the screen and loving it. So here's a peek at some clips from our practice session tonight. Some words are more obvious than others. They are all great attempts, though, and we'll celebrate that! Make an on-line

Nebraska meets Indiana

Braska's reaction to meeting the very kind Rory Feek and his beautiful daughter Indy.  I missed the part where Braska said Indy was sooooooooooo cute!  :) Our dream would be a photo showing the two most beautiful "states" together, right?!?  :)
