Lenoras First Christmas


I haven't blogged for a while so I'm at a loss as to what to write about. I'm sure the pictures speak for themselves.
Lenora's first Christmas went off without a hitch, she looked lovely in her 0.50 cent Goodwill dress (Old navy), her mock turtleneck and her $1.00 Black Mary-Jane’s which of course didn't stay on very long. She was excited to hear the doorbell ring, and to drag the "Santa" sack into the house. She liked opening the presents, tearing off small pieces one by one, if we didn't help her we would have been there all night! She was sharing her presents with everyone and putting EVERYTHING into her mouth! We did have to put black kitty outside because Lenora wouldn't stop chasing after him, and an ER visit for a cat bite was not how I wanted to spend Christmas Eve.








Grandpa & Grandma Great enjoying the Spiced Eggnog!

10 Months

Lenora turned 10 Month's old on the 7th. I can't believe she's almost a year old. The other day I was looking through her tubs of clothes and reminiscing about the tiny newborn stage, the excitement of being at the hospital waiting to see what she'd look like, snuggling in the recliner at 4am, watching her take in the new world, and figuring out what cute outfit I was going to put her in tomorrow. I told Martin "I'm ready when you are!" He laughed at me. Soon enough I suppose. Although Lenora has her moments of tantrums and whining, she still is an AMAZINGLY good girl!
I took 42 pictures for her 10 Month photo shoot and only about 5 turned out. She does not like to sit still, and since we couldn't do it outside we did it by the sliding door. All she wanted to do was stand up. Oh well. We got some cute ones, some crazy ones, and some downright sad ones! Lovely!
 
I am amazed at how much she looks like me, it’s kind of strange to look at her and see a little mini me.
 
UPDATE: STILL NO TEETH!
(I will be sad to see the gummy cheese smile go)

Singing Like Andrea Bocelli


Such a beautiful singer. She almost brought me to tears (Lenora, not the people on TV)

Learning


I love watching Lenora do things like this, it tells me that she is smart and that she is learning in her own little way. It's amazing something as simple as this could be so interesting to her. She's so wonderful.




My Winter Porch!

Finally got the front porch all decorated for winter! We had to PUSH our way through the crowd of crazies at Big Lots to get to the snowman, but so glad we got it! All I heard while back in the Christmas department was some crazy lady saying to her husband & kids... "I can't believe they don't have any more abominable snowman" (The inflatable ones, apparently Big Lots were selling those) She just kept yelling it over and over! Maybe she was hoping an employee would hear her and bring one from the back. GEEZ.


 

Today's Fashion Tips From Lenora


Today while I was making breakfast Martin gave Lenora a bath and I told him he could pick out her outfit. So him and Lenora went in her room shut the door and got dressed...

When they came out some time later this is what she had on- (Horrible lighting on the photos, but hey I'm not a photographer!)

She wore most of the outfit to town; we just put jeans on her instead of legwarmers.

 



SHE'S A ROCKSTAR!!
