On Christmas morning we went to church, then came home, had some breakfast and opened presents. Claire was very spoiled by everyone!! She got a new jumperoo, pj's, books, all kinds of toys, and her Nana made her a cross stitched blanket. Mommy and Daddy both got new cameras to take plenty of pictures of her!! And Daddy's takes video too! It was great to get to spend time with the family and have everyone around to celebrate our first Christmas with our little girl.
In other Claire news, she's started eating cereal, and has finally started to get the hang of swallowing it, instead of spitting it back out! She still acts like the first bite is the most disgusting thing she's ever tasted, but after she swallows that first bite, she's back for more! Her new trick is blowing raspberries while she has food in her mouth. Half the time I get to wear as much of her cereal as she does. In a few more weeks we're going to move on to baby food, which I plan on making myself. Sounds like fun, and is much cheaper than buying it at the store! Claire and I are going to the book store tomorrow to see if we can find a book about making baby food.
We're also very excited to spend our first New Year's Eve with the munchkin, even though her bedtime is a good 2-3 hours before midnight, so she won't be awake for the festivities. And by "festivities", I mean sitting on the couch watching the ball drop. I'm a huge homebody, so that's a pretty ideal New Year's Eve to me, just a nice, quiet evening with my family. At least this year I'll be able to break out the bubbly, last year I was about 8 weeks pregnant for New Years and didn't want to do anything!
Here are some Christmas pics!
