baby charis: a lot.

a lot has happened in the last couple weeks, obviously...christmas, new year's...but also, charis has had a lot going on! she has three more teeth (which we found consecutively on jan 2, 3, 4), and two more to come -- so she will have eight teeth soon!! she spent most of last week sick, and new year's eve was the worst...poor thing was miserable, but we think it was just a cold and she is doing much better now. she is pulling up on EVERYTHING! which also means she's falling down a lot and bumping her head...

as for christmas, she had so much fun opening presents! she quickly learned how to tear off paper, and at first was solely interested in eating it...but soon discovered there were surprises hiding under the paper.

we've spent most of this past week just trying to help her feel better...derek was off from dec 23 thru yesterday, so we had a nice long break together. yesterday we took down the tree and derek spent some time trying to babyproof the fireplace, which is still a work in progress but soon to be completed.

derek gave me a bunch of knitting stuff for christmas -- books, yarn, needles, etc...and i am knitting like crazy! he found a free class on monday nights that i'll be going to for the 2nd time tonight, and i am loving it! i'm almost done with my first little project, and i'll soon be starting on a little sweater for charis.

ok, so enough talk, more pictures, right??? we'll start with christmas morning!
