Despite the 101 temp Nina had today, she still has a hardy appetite. Here she eating chowing down on pizza.

Updates

We put up the tree over the weekend and Nina, of course, is into taking ornaments off the tree and bringing them to me. I think the newness of the tree may wear off and we will not have to get the gate out.
We do have major word explosion over here. She is repeating everything which is super cute.
What else? Oh we took her in to JC Penney to get holiday photos taken and it was such a great experience. We scheduled the first appointment of the day and Nina was happy and smiling!
She even left the bow in her hair.

Making Memories with Santa

What a big girl you are.

Don't know where my baby is...Nina has gone from baby to little girl in what seems overnight.
She is using spoons and forks more often. (notice the lefty action)

We are getting ready to spend Turkey Day with Jason's family and we have so much to be thankful for this year....There are many things I could say but the two that top this year are:

1. Phillies World Series Win. (Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!)

2. Nina growing into this awesome healthy little girl.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

First Santa visit

We went to the mall yesterday and Santa was just hanging out doing nothing b/c it was 11:30 on a weekday and I felt bad for him, so brought Little Miss over to see him.
I think the Santa thing will work out for Nina if I do it in installments. Yesterday I sat next to Santa on his chair with Nina on my lap. He showed her his coat and beard and she did not make eye contact with the jolly old fellow, she keep her head down. He put out his finger and told her to touch it and nope...nothing. She was not crying, but she was unhappy. As soon as I put her feet on the ground she went racing towards her great- grandmom for a hug.
So yeah I think next time we visit him, maybe she'll remember him and he will not be that much of a stranger anymore. (Who I am kidding??)

Sarah tagged me! Here's what you do: Go to your picture folder on your hard drive, open the sixth folder on there and then upload the 6th picture in that folder. Here's mine!
This is from January 08. Nina was 10 months old. Big news then was cutting her first tooth, eating crackers, and army crawling.

I will tag Mason and Hagen's Mom, Leslie and Natalie and Abby's Mom, Johelene.

Zoo Fun!

We took Nina to the Philly Zoo today and boy did we have a blast!
We are thinking about getting season passes b/c it was so fun. She really enjoyed herself too! Our zoo has an amazing primate exhibit and NIna was up close and personal with a gorilla as he munched on some romaine. She chased a rooster at the petting zoo and loved watching the cougars, pumas, lions, tigers, and other big cats as she referred to them as Abby (our kitty) She enjoyed any animal that was sleeping and she would say "Bear seaping" (very cute)
It was cool to see all the animals that we read about and do puzzles on so she could wrap her mind around it! Go Nina!
