Christmas Day

Everyone has been very eager to know how Margot's first Christmas went.
I'm happy to say that WE had a great time, as for her she still has no idea what was going on.
She was a little interested in the tree, but never messed with it.  I think she watched the lights on it a few times and never even tried to touch the presents underneath!  We had to open her presents for her as she doesn't understand the whole wrapped present thing, but she has been very excited to play with all the wonderful toys she received.  As you can see from the following photos, Christmas morning was best spent sucking her thumb while we did all the work!




Chris and Margot just before we left for my mom's house.  The coat is a very fancy gift from her
Great-Grandma Adele and has red velour roses down the front and a matching hat.  Underneath is a black velvet jumper from Grandma Janet.  I think her expression says it all "Why am I wearing a dress for 2 days in a row?"

Margot at 17 months

Why hello blog, how are you?  Have you missed me?  
Of course, I've been meaning to post, I just can't believe how busy Miss Margot keeps us!  
Today she turns 17 months old.  It's amazing how fast the last 3 months have passed.  
It seems like she's been with us much longer than that!  She has really changed so much during that time.
First of all she's started gaining more weight and is now just past 22 pounds.  Her cheeks are getting so cute and chunky!  She is much more active and playful, especially with her toys.  She loves to grab things and throw them as far as she can.  She is starting to scoot around more and reach for toys that she wants and Chris witnessed some major crawling last night.  It's hard being back at work, I always feel like I'm missing something new!   



Her latest trick, sitting while holding one foot in the air!


I finally trimmed her bangs, they're sort of straight!
