AW GAWD!

Geez, i can't believe is skipped the whole month of December. Soo many things have happened since my last post. Let's see...


-Jam turned 5 months old on Dec. 15th and she welcomed her fifth month by sprouting 2 teeth! She started solids with no problem. It's as if she was a natural born eater... like her mama! She rolls and rolls around like a pro too! She will also look at your mouth so intently and try to imitate sounds. Her biggest challenge in life now is finding a way to not get her limbs caught in the rails of her crib in the middle of the night. I love my little chuncky-love Jam! I just realized too that she's gonna be 6 months tomorrow. How time flies!



-Leelai's been the best big sister to Jam and to her couther (cousin/brother) Gani. She's been practicing writing all her letters, numbers and recognizing her sounds. Kindergarten, here we come! Since Gani's been here, there's a new side of her that's developing and is making her learn patience, take turns, and using her words more. These are things that i know will develope more and more with age, but these are lessons that we try to teach our kids but are not really understood by a child until they are thrown in the situation (not sure if that sentence made sense). For instance the whole sharing thing. Sharing, to Leelai, use to be the biggest downfall in life before Gani was around. Now sharing is second nature. Manny, who is an only child by the way, still has problems sharing (i'm talking about them chocolate chip cookies a-hole... what- i said it!).



-Christmas was fun! it all happened so fast though. One day i'm shopping at Target, the next day i found myself with $2 to my name and a house scattered in pine needles and wrapping paper. The love and laughter of friends and family make it all worth it though!



-New Year's was great... i think. It was our first time partying without the kids. It was to be a night of a few laughs with the homies, but the pictures from my camera tell a different story. We were able to get up the next day and haul our drunkard cookies over to the ice rink with Edgar, Chameans, baby Chameans, and little Uniquo. She got a couple of good pictures of the girls in their gear, but sadly she didn't take a picture of the real Ice Princess (Manny). Maybe next time...

and now pictures.....

My darling Leelai! You'd never guess that she had a melt down after this was taken... nap time you know...

Jam at 5 months.

It was all a blur after this....
