Merry Christmas to all!

We are finally getting the knack of our new schedule and we see that we are going to be very busy people with two kids.

We went to the doctor to make sure Brooke is okay and she is just perfect. There is nothing to be concerned about at this time and she is off all meds. We are pretty sure now the pollution and stress contributed to her feeling poorly. John and I are also much better and we think we were affected by the bad air quality as well. Sienna is doing fine but craving more attention as we settle in here at home.

Last night we had a wonderful Christmas Eve celebration at Angie and John's across the street. Brooke ate in every minute and was the life of the party. She feeds off people and loves being in the center of the commotion. She was smiling and happy and was up till very late. She also is a very busy girl and interested in EVERYTHING. There is nothing she can't wait to get her hands and mouth on. Yesterday we sat her in Sienna's baby Einstein toy station. She clanked, banged buzzed, swatted, chewed, dialed, spun and pretty much had everything going at once. She loves stimulation, colors, shapes, movement and attention. If John or Karen leaves the rooms she screams but no tears are shed unless it is meal, changing or nap time. She is a pretty easy baby but has a big personality.

On Christmas uncle David, Angie, John and Grandma came over for a quiet and low key turkey dinner. Sienna enjoyed opening her presents and Brooke enjoyed playing with the paper. Brooke did get a few new items which she could care less about. Rather she enjoyed the ripping and tearing of the paper.

As much as we enjoyed the holidays we are happy they are over and we can get back to a normal life. Whatever that is!
