December so far...

I knew I would need to keep up on my blogging this month because there is so much going on.  It is only the first week and we have already had so much fun.  

Alex got an early present from Maryann and Stephanie.  It is his own Christmas tree with lego guys on it.  He has been mesmerized by it ever since he got it.  

Mia started eating rice cereal this week.  Unlike Alex who just let it ooze out of his mouth, Mia gobbled it down.  She loves it.  She has been a little fussier this week, however, so we are not sure how her tummy is handling it.

This week we took a trip with Grandma and Grandpa Clements to see the Zoo lights.  We hadn't been in a long time but I thought they were so cool.  Alex loved them.  He loved running from place to place, there was so much to see.  There weren't a ton of animals out but the weather was great and it wasn't very crowded.  It was a lot of fun!

The next day we checked out the trees at the Festival of Trees.  This is one of my favorite Christmas traditions.  It was nice to go during the day when it wasn't very crowded.  Alex liked checking out the trees and eating yummy scones.  

This was probably Alex's favorite tree.  The Star Wars tree.  We tried to walk away several times and he would ask to look at just one more thing.

Mia really enjoyed the trees as well.  She slept the whole time! 

Mia also turned 5 months old this week.  She is breaking my heart.  She is such a happy delightful baby I just don't want it to end.  It is exciting to see her grow and learn new things however.  She is constantly rolling, playing with toys, and working on sitting up.  She sat for a few minutes while we took some pictures but isn't very stable yet.  We love our little bug!
