Recent Pictures





Here are some recent pictures of me at around 10-11 weeks old.  My latest development is that I can sit propped up against a pillow on the couch.  I can hold my head up on my own. 








































My brother loves to give me kisses!













He can make me smile and laugh like nobody else can.












Daddy giving me a bath.









All bundled up to brave the cold weather.  I think we were going to the Peabody Essex Museum.


















My new friend Sadie.  We were born six weeks apart.  We've already had a few playdates.

My First Christmas




Wow!  What an exciting first Christmas for a little lady.  I had no idea what I was in for.  Oliver had told me that it was going to be fun but it was even better than I could have hoped for, especially because I was able to spend so much time with all the people I love so much.  
Here is a picture of me on Christmas Eve wearing my first dress.  


 







On Christmas Eve, mommy and daddy had Nonna, Papa, Grammi, Dziadzia, Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Mike over for the Feast of Seven Fishes.   I wasn't able to eat any of the food but it smelled really yummy.  Next year I will be able to try everything.  Before we went to bed, mommy and daddy read Oliver and me our Christmas books.  Mommy and daddy got me the book "Queen of Christmas".  After we read our stories together, mommy and daddy told me to put my book somewhere that Santa could find it and that is where he would leave my presents.  My brother put his book on his bear chair so I decided to put my book on my bouncy chair.  And then we were all off to bed.





The next morning when we woke up, we discovered Santa had visited the night before.  Here is a picture of me with my Papa and my stocking.  I was still worn out from the night before.










Before we went over to Uncle Mike and Aunt Carolyn's I changed once again into another dress.  A girl can't have too many dresses!  












The day continued with a visit to Great Aunt Barbara and Great Uncle Shawn's house for Christmas dinner.  I got to meet my Babci for the first time.  She is 92 years old and a pretty great person.  








Here's a family photo from Christmas night.  My poor brother is getting some of his teeth in.  I told him that is not an excuse for biting me though!  He's been pretty good since I laid down the law!


 






I met my Aunt Erin and Uncle Dan for the first time the weekend after Christmas.  












So tired!!!












Apparently, while I was sleeping Uncle Dan and Aunt Erin's puppy Jules decided to give me kisses.  Good thing I was asleep...not sure how excited I would have been about it.  










Uncle Dan and me just chilling.  I like to rest my head on my arm.














I am getting big.  At my two month checkup, we found out I am 11 lbs 5 ounces and 23 1/2 inches long.  I am trying so hard to communicate with everyone by cooing and making lots of different sounds.  I love to smile and I love to be held.  I am happiest when I am being held.  I love my brother Oliver.  I am always following him with my eyes.  He gives me lots of kisses on my head which makes me very happy.  He's a good big brother.






Mommy's friend Tara came to visit.  I was very comfortable in her arms.  I can't wait to see her again.  




Until next time, Adelaide
