Ooooohhhhh....she's trying SO hard. All the time. ALL THE TIME. She wakes up more now than when she was a few months old. It's awesome.

Paige finally decided to give the sitting thing a try - it seemed as though she had to patience for it before, she'd just turn right onto her belly so she could do something else. Yesterday she sat for a good 10-15 minutes before toppling over. Which she only did so she could grab Wyatt. :P

We went to the Children's Museum today to celebrate Connor's birthday. They did a big reno on it over the past few months, and it really is so much better now! We went last year, and Wyatt was begging to leave after about half an hour. We only gave ourselves about an hour, and it wasn't nearly enough time this time around. He had a blast! We'll take him back another time this winter, seems like a good way to pass a cold afternoon. They also had a neat little play area for 0-2 year olds, lots of room to crawl and soft things to play with, but it was over-run with kids that looked closer to 7 or 8 years old. :( Paige and I did not venture in, especially after seeing one kid roll another up in a mat and then sit on him until the other kid screamed. I'm going to assume they are siblings, because that just seems like such a brotherly thing to do. Maybe just my brother. ;)

PEEK!

I had Paige sitting on my lap, but Wyatt wanted to horn in on the fun. Little did he know that he was placing himself in immediate danger. Paige repeatedly attempted to eat the top of his head...which Josh and I thought was hilarious and took many pictures...and then eventually made her stop. Wyatt was suitably impressed.

We took Wyatt to see Santa last weekend (okay, and Paige too, but she was just there for the photo op). Although he looks rather trepidacious, he was pretty excited to tell Santa what he wanted (a black Jeep) and was freaking thrilled about the candy cane he got afterwards. For those of you who forget how last year went, here's a reminder:

Happy Holidays indeed.

We finally got our tree set up! Only a week of sitting in our house with no decorations. However, I did crop the top off because we have no tree topper! :S I have no idea where it went, but furthermore, I have no idea what we have used in the past. Looking back, last year we just had a little 3 foot tree, and the year before it doesn't look like we had one then either. Wyatt wants a red star....that sounds easy to find.
All I see when I look at this though is our ugly curtains. We have a set of patio doors there, and I don't know what kind of window treatments to use. I think blinds would open the room up, but I don't want mini blinds. I think I found some bamboo roman blinds that will work, but Josh isn't sold. :P
