New Year, New Experiences

Can you believe that Adele will be 6 months old this weekend? We started solids last week and she likes them. She took to the food and spoon as if it were the most natural thing. We started with sweet potatoes and now on with pears. She now has two teeth and is trying to sit and pull her legs underneath her while on her tummy. She wants to crawl but hasn't figured out how to get to where she needs to go, other than scooting her tummy around.

Ella loves to play outside. Who needs toys when our backyard has two of her favourite things: rocks and branches (sticks).

Christmas Morn

The girls received some lovely gifts this year. Ella really enjoyed the whole experience and Adele seemed quite content to participate too. They enjoyed their matching dolls. Ella likes all of these presents but seems most amused to play with our drink coasters most of the time instead. She uses her imagination to concoct different ideas with them. Who knew that we could have saved so much money this holiday if he had just bought coasters!!! :)

Christmas Eve

As per tradition, Oma and Papa spent Christmas Eve with us. It was a nice evening with some great food and even greater company!
