Little Reindeer and She Sits!

My little reindeer!

Her antlers are bigger than her head :)

This also means she officially sits now!  6.5 months and she can sit for a minute or two before falling over.  She's using her hands to balance herself.  You can really tell she loves sitting because she gets a big grin on her face and sticks her tongue out!

Reindeer Connor vs. Reindeer Caylee

Family Hanukkah Party

All dress up in her Hanukkah socks and ready to go!

Grammy got a new Connor photo book to add to their collection!  Caylee will have her own to add in 6 months too.

Yum, wrapping paper!

Connor got magnetic fridge phonics to work on his letters.  We're pretty sure he knows a lot more than he shows us, but he needs to keep working on them.

Seriously.  So freaking cute.

This was the big hit with Connor.  His Spiderman robe is adorable!

Caylee got her first purse set complete with a cell phone, keys, etc.  I think Connor actually liked it too!

One of the cutest outfits ever

Connor is really loving dreidels!

I took way too many photos, but it was just so cool to see how mesmerized he was by them.

Precious!  Papa and sleeping Caylee

And after her nap, she was back up for some play time!

And ate some bananas!

Hanukkah at Home - Part 1

This is the first year that Connor really understood enough about Hanukkah to really enjoy it.  He knows what a menorah and dreidel are and he knows that his Grammy & Grandpa celebrate Hanukkah.  I took out some of his Hanukkah decorations so he could get a little more interested when the holiday started.

Caylee had her new princess menorah out on the table too.

For the first night, Connor got to open his biggest gift which was a Mater remote control car and matching socks.

Night 2 was skipped due to bad behavior, but he learned very quickly and was much better after that.  He now knows he has to be good all day if he wants to open Hanukkah presents after dinner.

He got Ice Age and polar bear jammies on this night.  Ice Age was perfect to bring in the car for the long drive to Indianapolis and he loved it!

We finished up our Hanukkah dreidel craft one night.  He insisted on following the picture on the box to make them look perfect.  I was so impressed at how well he did!  All I did was give him the letter and take the backs of the stickers off!

This night was Minion themed, so he got a Minion hat and matching t-shirt.

Minion from head to toe the next day!

Shirtless and opening his Spiderman gifts!  He got a Spiderman hoodie and magic towel!

The magic towel was a big hit once he figured out what it was in the sink :)
