Douglas and Carol

For those of you who check our blog faithfully I have to apologize… I’m just not that great at updating it! We do put pictures and videos on facebook fairly regularly though now. But here I am, with my quarterly update! (See if I say quarterly than it’s good to have one every 2 months - that’s more frequent than quarterly) We had a good Christmas this year - we took a trip to Virginia to visit friends and family and had a wonderful time. I was sad to miss all of the snow that dumped on the Seattle area this Christmas as I don’t know when we’ll ever have another white Christmas with everything blanketed in over a foot of snow around here! If you know me you know that I LOVE snow and I always get super excited whenever I see the white stuff falling. But despite missing the snow we enjoyed Amina’s first Christmas with her! She loved being at her Grandma and Grandpa’s house! And she even lasted through opening about 2 presents before needing her morning nap. It was fun to have an extended present opening time - continued after a nap in daddy’s arms with her new kitty stuffed animal. Amina enjoyed playing with her cousins on my side of the family too! Holly and Madison were fighting over who could hold her… ah to be so desired She does really well playing with the big kids.

Since we’ve been back it’s just been normal life Amina is growing and learning every day! She’s so interactive now. She loves to bring things to me from across the room and she points at everything to draw your attention to it. She’s getting so good at walking too - walking all the way across the house now. Amina is quite the climber - a couple weeks ago I left her playing in the family room and came back to see her standing on top of her toy box banging on the wall! We don’t leave the top on the toy box now when we leave her in there by herself! She also loves to dance and clap her hands to music. It’s so sweet She also gives ‘fish face’ kisses and is learning to blow kisses too. I can’t believe she’s going to be 11 months tomorrow and her first birthday is quickly approaching! She doesn’t even look like a baby anymore… she’s growing up too fast! But every stage is fun and I look forward to all the new things she will be able to do in the coming months. I’ll be back later to put up some pictures… Amina’s too interested in trying to type on the computer with me to get them up now!
