CHRISTMAS MORNING, 2009

It is hard to believe this is already Riess' SECOND Christmas, but it's also her first one that sort of really "counted." She was a good girl this year, with lots of gifts from Santa Claus! Of course, I know it has been too long since I've posted anything on here. But hopefully a few pictures and her latest Christmas morning video will make up for the lapse in time!

It's hard to chronicle all of the fun things she's doing now... walking, talking (some), and getting into EVERYthing! She's so much fun. Loves to laugh, dance and generally have a good time. Can't argue with that!

She is a GREAT sleeper. Seems like all of those months of sleepless nights were worth it now. My work schedule doesn't allow ME to get enough sleep, but that's okay.

She is a GREAT eater too. Even though she is "experimenting" (which is what the books call it) alot with throwing her food... she generally likes everything. She loves trying new things... especially whatever the "grown-ups" are eating!

Christmas this year was wonderful. She had an excellent time with everyone and getting all kinds of fun gifts. Each year will be more and more interesting as she will begin to "get it" even more. Can't wait!
