Holiday
Maya has gone to winter camp 2 mornings this week at gymnastics. She had great fun. She is at the "Why?" stage of childhood. "Why is my hair getting longer? Why does my horse have a tail? Why is that girl taller than me?..." and on and on and on.... She is excited about Christmas. She has been enjoying the decorations and learning about Jesus. She is also looking forward to Santa bringing her a purple bird.
Nico is getting bigger daily. He is quite the eater. The other day I put carrot pieces and mushy broccoli spears on his tray and he gobbled up all the broccoli first. He has mastered his pincer grasp and also enjoyed eating peas this week and well as trying Life cereal. With it being the holidays and all, I have also shared some of my cookies and cupcakes with him. He will be ready to eat his birthday cake next week!
Nico had his first bath in the big tub this week. Luckily I had only put a couple inches of water because he flopped right over on his belly to grab a toy. He is crawling along on his belly and sometimes gets up on his hands and knees to rock back and forth. I think he will soon be crawling with his belly off the ground. We have been playing some standing at an activity table. He will pull himself up, with a little help. He has no respect for gravity yet, though. He'll throw himself down at any moment.
This afternoon we all had a special treat. We went to Kemah to ride the rides and have some ice cream. It was Nico's first time on the carousel and I think he enjoyed it quite a bit. It was about 70* with 90% humidity, so there were plenty of people out and about. Nico enjoyed watching everything and Maya wanted to ride again and again.
