The Suki Life: Merry Christmas Eve!

From the holiday elf baby!

We love this outfit, it's super soft and had cute little ruffles all over it.

And Sissy seems to like it and not mind being dressed up.

There have been several Christmas outfits that Grandma and Grandpa sent my sister. This one even has special striped Babylegs, and a matching headband and socks!

Mama thinks the headband is too big and makes Sissy look like she is a 20's flapper, or she has a swim cap on. Sissy doesn't like it, but she tolerated it for pictures and a trip to the cousins' house. The family all went there for dinner and presents!

But first, I will tell you about this exhausting week. It was hard to get a nap in, but I seemed to manage from time to time.

Even Sissy was tired from this week.

(Again, a special Christmas outfit with Santa Babylegs!)

Sissy started jumping in the hallway. I can't say if she liked it or not. But she didn't cry, so that is a good sign.

Her feet don't touch the ground yet, so she can't lift and jump on her own, but Mama gives her help going up and down, and even swings her back and forth like a swing at the park.

She seems interested enough to try it again next week.

Daddy also taught Sissy to grab and shake her rattle all by herself. He says, "Shake, shake, shake..." and she does it! It seems to make her happy when she is upset.

And of course, she is still stuffing her hands in her mouth, which means she is still drooling a lot!

This is Grandma and Grandpa trying to keep Sissy from crying. She cried a lot today. I think it was just a lot for her to take in. Seeing Grandma and Grandpa, going to the cousins' for dinner, opening presents, watching Christmas movies...it is enough to over stimulate anyone!
