The Girls

Well, Sadie is awake and being her usual cute self. She's sitting on the floor playing with the basket of toys I got for her. She's such a good baby...
I'm thinking she'll be standing on her own soon. She barely hangs on to things and she'll occasionally let go and stand for a few seconds before slowly lowering herself back down to the floor. I told her that she could start standing as a Christmas present for me and daddy. I think she understood...but, she did say "Mama" so I guess I can't ask for too much more.
I know she seems a little slow but that's to be expected. She was born a month early and they say that you have to adjust their age to the time that they would have been born. So, her being behind is not such a big deal. Her pediatrician isn't really worried so we don't worry much. We just wish she'd do these things because they are such neat miles stones in a babies life.
Steff woke up at 5:45 this morning because her pillow was missing. It was cute, she came in and told me her, "piiwoh" was gone. I took her into her room and set it on the bed and she moved and said something about it needing to be "here." She then wanted some juice and back to sleep she went. I can't be sure why she really woke up but the last time she got up that early for something she slept in until almost 10. I'm hoping for the same miracle today. I won't be holding my breath but I will be hoping.
Last night we got the greatest package from the UPS guy...Marla and John(Kieran's grandparents from his dad's side) sent us a tower of goodies. It was from Harry and David. It has pears, caramel corn, mixed nuts, cheese and truffles in it. Oh, they are such good vittles. They sent us the same thing last year for Christmas and I was hoping she'd send it again this year, so, when we got it, I was super excited...We opened the cheese right up and the kids went nuts. I had to put it away and tell them, "no more" cuz we need to save some for dad. They would have eaten that cheese all gone if I'd have let them.
Chistmas is coming soon...I'm still excited and getting more and more excited as the days go by. We only have 12 days left and if I were rich I'd do the twelve days of Christmas for Ryan just as something fun.
