Break It Down

 Can you tell I'm on Christmas Break? 

Three blog posts in 24 hours? 

That's crazy!

Well anyways, I am on break. And it IS lovely, thank you so much for asking! I got to sleep in until 6:30 today (yeah, I know it may not seem like sleeping in. But the alarm goes off at 4:50 on school days, so that extra 100 minutes is a very big deal). We spent our first day of break doing not much - and it rocked.

The next few days are going to be a blur of activity, so having a down day to kick it off feels wonderful.

Emma is crawling everywhere!

Everywhere, absolutely $%@#*ing everywhere - under the tree, under the desk, into the toy bin, up the stairs (!!!!), and into the laundry basket. 

I'd be upset with her, but she's too darn cute!

She's also an excellent eater. 

I'm sure you couldn't tell that by looking at her. 

Right, well, you can see - she's chunky. Now that she's crawling, we are hoping some of those rolls will roll right off her. 

We have also noticed that she likes to put everything in her mouth.

Everything, absolutely $%@#*ing everything - dog food, hair ribbons, toys, paper, and my ponytail when she can reach it. 

So I gave her some Puffs today (they dissolve about instantly, so her two teeth can totally handle them) so she could practice feeding herself something that was actually food.

She loved it.

She ate it all (not so shockingly).

I asked Lexi to give her a few more.

OK. Note to self: Lexi does not understand portion control.

And look who we found in our house: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! They made this adorableness at preschool and she wouldn't let anyone wipe the paint off her nose all day. It was fine except she really likes to give Eskimo kisses, so a few people got Rudolph-ed on Tuesday. She made us call her Rudolph this whole night.
