Henry and Eleanor had a blast celebrating Christmas with Mimi, Papa, Lala, Uncle B and Breanne.\u00a0 We started off the week with a trip to the train exhibit at the botanical gardens, and a trip to the doctor for Henry\u2019s one year checkup (all is well :) ).\u00a0 Then Mimi and Papa arrived for lots of days of play.\u00a0 We also had a fun visit from our friends Anna and Jackie \u2013 who both really liked the caterpillar tunnel.<\/p>\n

Henry continues to work on his walking, although I don\u2019t think that he is convinced yet that it should become his main mode of transportation.\u00a0 He is also becoming more expressive, both with sounds and gestures.\u00a0 He has a distinctive noise that he makes for Zapa, and also one that seems to mean either \u201cI\u2019m Hungry\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m Thirsty\u201d.<\/p>\n

Eleanor did a lot of cooking this week, helping Mom to make a crockpot lasagna and Mimi and Papa to make pancakes for Christmas breakfast.\u00a0 We also got a bit of snow on Christmas morning, and Eleanor loved going outside and playing in it.\u00a0 She loved watching snowballs hit the ground, and also shoveling snow into the storm drains.\u00a0 We got her set up with a hockey stick and she was off doing her own shoveling.\u00a0 Poor Henry was napping at the time so he missed the snow fun.<\/p>\n
