Merry Christmas!

Its Zoe's 2nd Christmas and it has gone well. We've really messed up her nap/sleep schedule but she is adapting well.

The first few days of our Christmas vacation were spent at Nana and Grandpa's. There was one memorable evening where Zoe demonstrated her talents singing.. it started with the usual, "No don't do that" anytime anyone tried to join in (or she'd just stop singing).. but eventually she wanted a sing along, and wanted everyone to join in. She has mastered: "Frosty", "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer", "Mary had a little lamb", "Row, row..", "Twinkle, Twinkle Little star", The theme to Dora.

At the Gooches, she loved playing in Brooke's room.. (boy did they ransack it).. her favorite was the Dora toys, Polly Pocket, and baby doll stuff. When we get back I'll get her a doll stroller and bed. She is in love with the idea of snow, but not the coldness of it. But spent some time out playing in it.

Christmas Eve she enjoyed opening gifts at the Gooches, but very slowly, and eventually I think I opened a few. She was particularly in love with some of Brooke's toys.. in particular her Bath time Barbie and some other bath toys that Bruce got for Brooke.. there was a bit of cry-fest on that one.

It is now Christmas night and she was spoiled again by too many gifts, so many that it took several sessions to open them. Santa brought her the Rose Petal cottage, Baby alive doll with carrier, some videos, Mermaid Dora figure, My little pony, lots of candy, etc.
Other gifts include: Alive Elmo (took a little adjustment, but she is now a big fan)
A grocery cart, books, shoes, clothes, Dora book with iPod like device, Curious George doll.

Now it is 6pm and without a nap, she will not last more than 60 minutes more.. time to try to get some food in her.
