Motherhood

This looks how I feel...

Hapukah!

It has been a cold week, so we pulled out this snowsuit. And we lit hanukah candles all eight nights. And Rikki wants to wish everyone "Hapukah" which I think is a great abbreviation she came up with for happy hanukah!

My new and improved winter look.

Snow baby on the first major snow of the season. (See the snow on the trees?)

Heavy Lift

Here's a girl with the strength to signal when she's finished eating...

Dumpling in a Blanket

When Panpan first joined our family, we would struggle to cover her with a blanket every night. Within minutes of tucking her in, we would peer into her crib to see that she had flung off the blanket or rolled over it. But a few weeks ago, she started becoming obsessed with blankets - especially ours. At first, her aim was a little off. We would find her sleeping with the blanket over her face.

But soon she figured it out, and now one of her favorite pastimes is getting in bed, putting her head on the pillow and her feet under the blanket. She will even do this with a dish towel on the couch while drinking her milk.

Isn't it great to derive so much pleasure from life's daily routines? I can't wait til she learns to clean up.

Happy Hanukkah!

We hope you love your presents as much as we loved ours. Keep on grooving!

Pam, Davis, Olive, and Rikki Panpan
