Leia is as goofy as ever, and just loving life, as displayed by the following collage of silliness! We made her a new Leia sized table, and it's her new favorite place to eat. She pretty much won't sit in her highchair at all anymore. And she still loves playing with those sunglasses! She's learning more about snow (or "no" as she refers to it) and all it's fun, work, and challenges…shoveling was cool for about 3 minutes! And we celebrated another Christmas. It was definitely a learning experience for everyone. We thought she'd be more into it this year than last, but really, she had no interest in unwrapping presents, the whole event was pretty overwhelming and exhausting, and in the end she just wanted the new, unwrapped toys, but didn't care how or why they arrived. Josh and I learned that wrapping things was a mistake, and that Mom and Dad are supposed to assemble everything ahead of time so that you can play with it instantly! She was so pissed to see the cool pictures on the boxes but not be able to play with any of the stuff. Oh well, we got it all put together by the end of her morning nap and the rest of the day was soooo much fun!
