Baby Bears First Christmas

We went over to Grandpa and Grandma Watson's for Christmas day. It was nice to spend the day with them... Grandpa cooked a wonderful meal, we opened presents, sat in the hot tub and then called it a day! A Wonderful Day!

A huge thank you to everyone that sent gifts. We appreciate all the love and support we have had from all of you over the last year. Daddy helped Lydia open all of her presents, while mommy thoroughly documented it. So grab your popcorn, get comfortable in your chair cause here are ALL of them! Thanks again to everyone!

Trudi our neighbor, her sister and kids all went in and got bear a frog that rattles and says "ribbit ribbit"!

Steve and Diane (Family friend of the Watsons) got her lots of cool clothes!

Uncle Thomas and Aunt Trisha sent an aquarium with music, lights, swimming fish and swaying kelp!

Grandma Ross sent Lydia her first baby doll, pull the hat and it plays music! (Daddy was to fast so no pic of the package, sorry)

Cousins Brian and Duncan sent lots of purple clothes!

Grandpa Ross got her a wooden wagon with the wooden blocks to match! I can't wait to be stepping on those!!! My feet hurt already!

Grandpa Watson got her the Grinch Who Stole Christmas! I am required to know all the lines by heart for next year! No pressure! Grandma and Grandpa Watson got her a cute outfit and socks to match!

Little Bear made a picture book for Daddy. He loved it!

The Santa Gift! A Jungle jungle gym!

Hanging with Grandpa

After a long day of present opening she crashed

Today (the day after) Aunt Jen Uncle Monte and the girls present arrived. Bear waited patently for mom to let her open it! Soft animal boxes; one rattles, one squeaks and the other has crinkly ears are what brought out that smile.

Merry Christmas

Christmas begins... a little late but here we are!

Bear was helping me wrap presents in her cool Xmas bib. The ladies at Josh's work got that for her.

Grandma Ross made up some new ornaments for the tree and Lydia wanted to do a fashion show with them. She is all ready to decorate the tree.

Big moment in our history... Baby Bear hangs her first Christmas ornament.... with the help of daddy,

and the second ornament with the help of mommy.

She is giving mom the sideways smirk, she is soo over the tree decorating and we just started!

She was a little worn out but was a trooper and kept helping us!






This is not Christmas but... This is what mom does in a day instead of cleaning or doing dishes!

Lydia is learning to suck on her thumb and first finger. She started it on her own and seems to totally enjoy it. Any time her pacifier falls out in go the fingers. This morning she was having trouble deciding which to do... play with the bird toy on her right or eat her fingers on the left. She kept going back and forth! Sometimes it takes a minute to work the finger in... she needs a professional visit from cousin Brian to show her how it is really done!!!

We had a tough night the other night. Someone who shall remain unnamed would not sleep in bed for anything. So mom stuffed her in the sling and well she slept like a baby!

Bubbles Bubbles and more Bubbles

oh yes I almost forgot. We saw the Boob Dr. yesterday and Lydia put on another lb in two weeks. She is in the 75% for weight so we are going good.We are no longer on probation and don't have to go back till the 4 month check up. official number:

3 months 12lbs 14oz.

We are on a roll!

ROLLING OVER!!!

We have reached a huge mile stone for Baby Bear, she rolled over today for the first time ever!! Daddy decided he wanted to practice with her a little. So with a little instruction of arm placement they were off and rolling. After about five minutes she was rolling on her own. So daddy would place her and she would roll... over and over again. One time she even rolled over "the other" direction of how he had set her up!

So turn your volume DOWN, cause in this first video mommy got a little too excited!

Enjoy!

I couldn't decide which one so you get both!

We also just returned from WA visiting Aunt Jen. However she has all the pics so if you want to check those out they are one the Griffin-Door blog... top right of our page!
