Christmas Girl

This week Lillian got to experience her first Christmas. Of course she got way more presents than anyone else in the house, and she had a grand old time ripping the paper off all her gifts.

Her Grandpa tom snapped some pretty cute pictures of our little Christmas girl modeling Grammy Elaine's pretty new cowgirl hat.




Grandpa also got some shots of the whole family.



We have even more photos in the web album.

She Crawls!

Lillian figured out how to crawl today. She quickly made a bee line towards all the best stuff in the house.

Oh, look at all those tempting wires to chew on.

It didn't take her long to find Daddy's computer game stash.



Here she goes for the camera, then goes after her tensegrity toy. She certainly loves technology.

We also got her to show off her two front teeth. Yes she actually has two teeth now!

All I want for Christmas is . . .

This past week Lillian got her first taste of Christmas. We attended the Mountain View tree lighting ceremony Monday evening. There were Christmas carols, Santa, reindeer, a brightly lit tree and lots of holiday cheer.

All Lillian wants for Christmas is her two front teeth, and it looks like she might get her wish! Her first tooth emerged this week. We tried to capture it on film, but it's just too small. I'm sure the second tooth will follow shortly.

Lillian also got closer to crawling this week, she is actually able to move forward a bit.

Lillian and Nash

Lillian has been learning how to play with Nash, she seems to think it is hilarious to sit on floor and paw at Nash's face. Fortunately Nash is infinitely patient and willing to put up with almost any form of abuse. He is such a good dog!
