life with 2 kids is never ending! We had a wonderful christmas season. ted's parents flew out and spent 12 days with us. Teds dad helped us get some good projects done around the house and Shari helped me keep my sanity by cooking, changing diapers, spoiling us and allowing me to take a long shower everyday, by myself! We all enjoyed eachothers company and the funny miss Z kept us on our toes. Harper was his cute mellow self. Its was a special blessing to have them here.
Zerrell wanted NO PART of santa this year, wouldn't even get near the guy, other then to say "bye." Harper slept through the whole thing. We went on the walk down Christmas tree lane, Zerrell was not impressed. She played musical chairs all night between the stroller, dad, maire and nana. She wanted to walk but i was terrifed of her taking off in the large crowd and getting lost. She went down a second time in Nana's convertable, she did ok.
Christmas eve was spent at my parents, where Zerrell, mackenzie and Sadie all wore matching dresses. They were so cute. Christmas morning was spent at our house with Shari making a great breakfast. It was weird to realize that ALL my life i had spent every Christmas morning in this house, it being my grandparents and NOW we are doing the same thing again its just that now we are living here. Zerrell got some good stuff from santa and the grandparents.
Zerrell is growing up more and more everyday. She has alot more words and its fun to see her talking more and more. She loves imagination play. She talks to her toys, makes them dance and really gets into playing with them. Her favorites are the 2 naked barbies that she takes everywhere and her tinker bell doll. She loves dressing up too! She pretends to talk on a cellphone and often gets dressed up in my high heels, a purse and a hat and comes and tells us "bye" and walks off somewhere. She is a hoot. She is still trying to figure out Harper. She talks to him and thinks its funny when he farts. She is getting better about being "gentle." most of the time.
Harper is growing out of his clothes! luckily we have plenty. He is staying awake for longer periods and loves to look around, he has started smiling and cooing. He looks at Zerrell like she is the coolest thing and never cries when she is touching his face over and over or giving him sloppy kisses. He takes long naps with Ted and just curls up on his chest.
Ted and i are trying to figure out being parents of 2. We are both exhausted, but we have been blessed a few time with 2 sleeping kids AT THE SAME TIME! and have been able to steal a few moments of just us, a crazy concept these days. Its hard to imaging life without harper now. Funny how fast that happens. We are enjoying this new time in our family as challenging as it may be. We know we are very blessed.
