Crawling!

Stephie is on the move! The TiVo remote continues to be a huge motivator (second only to our cell phones). Watch a video of Stephie (and note the extreme grunting effort) here.

Sleigh ride

The winter storm was made a lot more fun by breaking out Stephie's sled this morning. We had a really good time...sleds and snowflakes are funny!

Two Toots diner

After music class today, Stephie and Julia went to the new Two Toots diner where their first ever grilled cheese sandwich (yum!) was delivered by train.

9 months old!

It's hard to believe that Stephie is such a big girl! She celebrated her 9 month birthday this evening by trying to pull up to a stand.

White Christmas

As is evidenced by the blazing whiteness from our front lawn, there isn't much question that Stephie and Julia will enjoy a very white Christmas for their first holiday celebration!

This crib tastes like chocolate.

Stephie recently acquired her top front right tooth! She is putting it to good work chewing on her crib rails. Good thing Mommy and Daddy thought ahead and installed the crib rail covers last weekend!
Later, Stephie and Julia enjoyed reading some books together.

Peek-A-Boo

"Who's under the basket?"
"Oh, it's Grandpa Allen!"
"I just love his hair!"
