December '05

As narrated by Jennifer's email...

Maureen enjoying her bath - she really loves taking them! She was very fussy and tired before getting in the bath... as soon as I put her in the tub, she stopped crying and gurgled, cooed and even gave me a couple smiles.

Josephine starting off Christmas morning with checking out her stocking stuffers...

Josephine asked Santa for two things: James (from thomas the tank engine) and "big hair." (She means long hair) So Santa gave her a "big hair" wig and wig cap to go underneath it. Looks pretty funny, huh? She later put the wig cap on one of her baby doll's heads.

dressed up in their Christmas outfits

Josephine singing to Maureen - I was trying to capture Maureen's attentiveness to her big sister - she was really paying attention and listening to Josephine while she was singing!

I've been trying to get a picture of Maureen smiling - I haven't been successful yet... she smiled about 1 second before I took this one!

Maureen enjoying her baby mobile

Maureen sleeping on her tummy - she's been sleeping through the night (approximately 9 PM to 5/6 AM) for 2 weeks now! I feel very lucky. I think she looks so cute curled up on her tummy...

Josephine, dressed up pretty for Church - it's still hard to get her smiling and with eyes on the camera!

dressed up in her ballet outfit - I signed her up for pre-ballet and tap... she had a free trial lesson the other day and loved it! She also had a free trial gymnastics lesson and loved it, too!

Maureen found her thumb!

Maureen lost her thumb and frantically trying to find it again!

Michael laid on the ground to take this one... there are TONS of Christmas lights at the St. Tammany Trace Trailhead. They had rides, food, entertainment and Santa Claus was there! Tons of fun for a three year old.

Josephine and Maureen (BOTH not smiling) and a very happy Santa! this picture was taken from our digital camera... we also had one done which we paid for but don't have it yet.
