on sunday when i was taking her 7 month pictures (soon to follow), she crawled over to her exersaucer and pulled up on the thing. that crazy girl! she pulled herself up and started playing with the toys on it. today, she did the same thing, and was walking around it to get to different toys. this kid is not going to stay on the ground for very long.
i made some more baby food today...peas and apricots. she had some peas tonight and that seemed to go over fairly well...we'll try the apricots next week and see how that goes.
i'm so excited about christmas, and perhaps even more excited that today was derek's last day of work until january 5. it will be fabulous to have him at home for a while. i need the company. things can get overwhelming at times, and it will be a much-needed break for my full-time mothering all day long.
we bought charis a snow suit this weekend and are anxiously awaiting the snow required for her to wear it. can't wait to see what she thinks of that. there will definitely be video.
so merry christmas to everyone! i'll try and post early next week, but we'll be out of town over the weekend so don't be too anxious for those first christmas pictures!!

Charis may surprise you with the timing of her milestones. Malcolm didn't get the hang of sitting until almost exactly 7 months, at which point he began crawling and pulling up in the same week!
Happy Boxing Day!
it's funny you say that, kate...derek and i were just talking tonight about how we were anticipating that she'd crawl for a while, and then start pulling up on stuff...but it all happened at the same time! now she's letting go of things when she pulls up and is learning to balance very quickly! we're scared she's going to start walking soon!
she will start walking soon. it's inevitable! just wait, the fun is about to begin! love aunt sonja
