First Christmas

Heidi had a great first Christmas! Christmas is much more fun with a little one, even if she is not really aware of what is going on yet! We took her to see Santa at the mall and let me tell you, I love living in a small town. You would think on Christmas Eve there would be a line out the door. We just walked right up and got her picture because there was no one in line. It was awesome. Heidi wasn't quite sure what to think. She wouldn't look at Santa. She just had to keep her eyes on mom and dad. It was pretty cute.


We got Heidi an exersaucer for Christmas and she loves it...even if she doesn't weigh enough to get her feet to touch the ground. I can't wait until she is big enough to start bouncing and spinning around because I think she is going to go nuts. When we opened presents Heidi really wasn't phased by anything. Grandma and Grandpa Hunziker got her some music books and she loved listening to the music. She has started showing interest in books now and I am loving that, of course. I read to her every chance I get. She mostly likes farm animal books and really doesn't like the bug or dinosaur book I try to read to her. I think she is going to be a girly girl.

This is our all time favorite picture of Heidi in her exersaucer. She looks like she is a rock star jamming out. It is so funny. You can kind of see how her feet don't really touch yet too. She is so funny and is at our favorite age so far. She is so happy all day long and squeals and giggles all the time. I never thought she would be this happy and hope teething can hold off for a little while.

Heidi also gave her mom and dad a Christmas present. For the first time since she got sick, she slept through the night! (Well, 7:30-4:50). It was in her bassinet, but still, it was very nice not to have to wake up every 20-60 min. to stick in the pacifier!

Heidi has also become quite the daddy's girl lately. We are happy he is home for a few days. She always checks to make sure dad is still in the room. It is so cute. We have had such a great Christmas!

She is darling! Four months really is a golden age. Personality starts to come out--and it just gets better and better.
