The Obligatory Christmas Post :)

We had a wonderful Christmas! We spent lots of time eating and hanging out with family.
Ellie loved meeting Santa at Brooke and Sophie's house
The cousin's nativity was entertaining as ever and both Ellie and Piper seemed to really enjoy the gifts they received. 

Twins

Piper had her first run-in with a couple of baby dolls the other day at my Mom's house. I wasn't sure how she would react because when Ellie was Piper's age, her first reaction to the doll on the right was to scream at her and then cry a whole lot. I'd be lying if I didn't say it was so cute and so funny and so sad all at the same time. So I was a little worried how Piper would react to them.
As you can see, first she gave Ellie's least favorite doll the ol' up and down.

I will let the following pictures tell the rest of the story.

I seriously love this last picture.
Their profiles are almost identical. I think she loves chubby babies almost as much as I do.

Infectious Giggle

I double dog dare you not to smile at this video. I seriously cannot get enough of my Piper! :)

The Move

Tonight we moved Piper into Ellie's room. You can call me a pansy or a softie or a weirdo or whatever you want to but I'm so sad about it. I'm not quite sure why. The first few weeks after she was born she and I slept on a mattress in the living room so she wouldn't wake Rob up every hour on the hour during the night. After that she has been sleeping in a Pack and Play in our room. There is something comforting to me about having her just right there. I can jump out of bed and check on her or hold her or kiss her fat little cheeks whenever I want. I loved having her close by. I know we should have made the big move a long time ago but honestly I don't see what the rush is all about. I figure she's only a baby such a short time and I'm going to enjoy her while it lasts. So now she is snoozing soundly in her crib and our room feels so empty. I really miss her.

Do You Need Another Time Waster?

I don't. But I found one anyway and I wanted to share it with those of you who (like me) have housework to avoid or Christmas shopping to put off or if you just can't sleep at night and need something creative to do. Ever heard of Polyvore? You can create all kinds of sets from fashion to art to whatever floats your boat at the moment. It is so addictive. This is my first set.

And I desperately need that chair.
