Here, There and Everywhere

December already...where does the time go?!  This year has just flown by.  Soon Lennon will be 11 months old, soon she'll be a year old!  What?!

We are in full on Christmas mood around here.  My Christmas baking is done.  We decorated the house and put up the tree a couple of weekends ago already.  We have been listening to Christmas music since then as well.  Gotta love it!  Lennon has only crawled up to the tree a couple of times to try to take a ball off.  So far, so good!

A couple of weekends ago we had some nice weather so we went to Heritage Park to see their Christmas displays.  It was a beautiful day.  They had lots to see.  There was more to do for older kids.  Something to remember for when Lennon is older and into activities.  It was just a nice day to get outside and walk around.  We've had some major (major!) cold since then and a ton of snow.  It's much better this week.  It's funny how -5 all of a sudden feels warm!

The next couple of weeks are busy with Christmas parties as well as our usual routine things.  And then in two weeks Lennon and I head to Bowmanville.  Fred will join us a bit later - someone has to work!  I'm looking forward to it.  It will be fun for Lennon to see Grandma and Gramps B and her cousins (and Auntie and Uncle too of course!)!

Lennon continues to do great and to be a happy little girl.  She loves to crawl around and follow us wherever we go.  On the weekends it's definitely Fred that she follows the most.  It's very cute!  She sure loves her dada!  She has started to wave sometimes now.  She pulls herself up on her knees all the time and gets one leg out but hasn't pushed up to her feet yet.  Her favourite things to play with are her socks (which she pulls off constantly), towels (pulled from the kitchen), Fred's slippers (ew!), and the tag on the corner of our living room rug.  Who needs toys?!  She does play with her toys too.  Her favourite toys are the stacking rings (no stacking yet, just pulling them off and crawling around with them in her hands), the activity cube with the beads on top, and books (mostly pulling them out of the bin).  She's a lot of fun!
