Feed me!

As we've shared over all these posts, Brenna is growing to be quite the little person - she's not a little baby anymore. This was very apparent to mommy the other day when we got home from work/daycare and came into the house. We were hanging out in the living room, just getting settled into the evening, Brenna was drinking some water from her cup and mommy was on the phone. Brenna disappeared into the kitchen, went into the pantry, grabbed a can of toddler ravioli (one of her favorites) and brought it to me. Then she took it back to the kitchen and the next thing I hear is the cabinet doors. I went into the kitchen to see what she was getting into and found that she'd opened the "tupperware" cabinet, had pulled out her bowls (some that we typically use for her food) and put them on her high chair tray. The ravioli was on the dining room table. She was hungry! Clearly this was her way of telling me to feed her! Needless to say, I fed her then and there and mom & dad could just eat later. With Christmas approaching, we thought it would be fun to teach Brenna what Santa says. We've been giving her a small stuffed Santa to play with and then telling her "ho, ho, ho." She now knows what the Santa is if we ask her to bring it to us and when we ask her what he says, she replies "ho, ho" - don't know where the last "ho" went, but it's close enough and it's adorable! We are looking forward to heading up to the mountains to celebrate Christmas with both sets of grandparents, Aunt Jamie & Uncle Josh and lots of friends! We're hoping it'll be Brenna's first white Christmas! Happy Holidays to you all!
