Celebration

We had a wonderful time celebrating Jesus and His birth.  It was so fun to have Emilynn this year.  We had a wonderful time taking her to Christmas Eve service, getting her dressed up in a beautiful new dress made by her Obaa, reading her books about Jesus' birthday, and watching her open presents and try out her new things.  We were all a little sick over Christmas and are still recovering, but we still had a wonderful time.

Emilynn spent a lot standing and pulling up on EVERYTHING this weekend and last week.  She even cruised around her new activity table a little bit today.  She also took 4 1/2 hours of naps today.  I think she is making up for not napping well the last few days from being sick.  She has been sleeping 11 1/2 hours again.  Normally she is about 10 1/2 or 11.  She has also started to "dance" to music when it comes on and she loves to clap to it also.  It's so fun to see these new things...holy moments.  I can't believe that she will be 10 months in just a few days! 

Here are a few pictures from the last week or so...

Probably Emilynn's favorite gift :) Thanks, Obaa and Ojii

But her favorite toy wasn't any gift she got...it was my blocks from when I was a baby...she played with them all day!
