Merry Christmas!

What a special Christmas this was for our family since it was Nadia's first! Of course she is our favorite gift. :-) I'll write more tomorrow and also take and post the 6 month photos (2 days late). Here are some photos from the last four days. I hope each of you had a very special time with your family this week!!! Merry Christmas!!!

Isn't she so cute in the outfit she wore on Christmas Eve at Ruth's parents' house? We were there from Sunday evening to Wednesday evening.


Ruth's sister's family arrived in MD (from Chicago) on Monday night. It was great to spend time playing with Adam (22 months) and Susie (4 1/2 years old). When Susie showed me the message she created she imitated me by saying "Nadia, sweet, sweet, sweet Nadia" in the same intonation I use. :-)

We arrived back at home about 9pm on Christmas Eve and spent Christmas Day at Paul's parents' house. They gave her a walker - what fun! :-)

Once we got back home from celebrating with Paul's family, Nadia had some time to play with her new toys before going to bed. What fun!! Tummy time has already been going much better now that she sleeps on her belly, and she really enjoyed playing with her toys on her belly this evening and started to make attempts at scooting towards them. I think she's going to become more mobile very soon! Her sitting skills have also vastly improved lately. I think she'll be sitting unassisted within the next week or so.
