December

Forgot to add these photos. My neighbor Becky was kind enough to take Kaleb with her son and best buddy to the mall to see Santa. She said it was a good thing Kaleb went because Chase was not sure about sitting on Santa's lap but Kaleb was not shy at all. She said that Kaleb told Santa that he wanted Iron Man and Star Wars toy for Christmas. These boys are too cute.

So here is the first of of December. It has been a busy month of course. We have had a good time so far. I was going to get the Christmas decorations out the Monday after Thanksgiving but it didn't happen . I think it was a few days after that. Kaleb had a great time helping decorating and he really was such a great helper. I spent most of the December trying to fight off a cold from hitting me hard. I have been pretty successful so far. Kaleb got sick right after we got home from Thanksgiving and that last a good 7-10 days. Then Kaija got it and had a high fever of 103 and then was stuffy after that and had a hard time breathing. When Kaleb got better we had already had a really good snow. I bundled him up on afternoon and let he go outside for a bit. He just loves the snow. He really loves to eat it.

Kaija is now 7 months old and is sitting really well by herself and we have let her take a few baths with her brother and she loves it. We look forward to her being a little more stable so that she can play even more with Kaleb.

I was too lazy to make my own frosting and get stuff for a gingerbread house so I just bought a kit. What a mistake. The icing was such a pain but we got through it and Kaleb has enjoyed eating it ever since.

Forgot to take the typical month to month picture of Kaija but I took this one on the 7th month mark and I think it is cute enough.
