Christmas This Year

Today you played with Auntie G for awhile.

Made some progress these past few days!

We hung out Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and even today for a bit.  You and I spent lots of time together on Christmas Eve actually.  I think you got used to my dogs, but the next two days, you didn't even ask about them.

Speaking of speaking, it's amazing to me how much better you're getting at talking.  There are times when I don't have a clue still, but we are able to have real conversations.  It's also obvious that you genuinely remember something that's happened and are able to comment on it.  Such a difference a month makes!   I am excited to hear you in another few months when you'll be doing even better.

Christmas Day, your parents had you pass out the Christmas presents.  I almost wish I had filmed it because you were hilarious.  Aunt Heidi sorted out the gifts under the tree as your mom told you who to give it to.  You got it right most of the time, there were a couple times that you wanted to stop and open gifts, but you finally passed everything out to everyone.  The funniest part was to watch you try and handle the heavier presents.  You kept making this ridiculous noise as if to let us know just how heavy they were.

One of my favorite things about that day was discovering that you knew how to take selfies, and I'm pretty sure you LOVE them.  My phone automatically put together a video which I naturally uploaded for posterity.  I'm a terrible aunt this time because I definitely encouraged you in a certain pose (I'm sure you'll figure it out).
