Colbie 14 Months

My little angel is 14 months old today.  Although she is a little behind in her verbal skills, she is making up in her sign language.  She finally decided this month to start signing.  She is using 12 signs, and I might have to give some credit to Cadynce.  I just learned that Cadynce is crawling in her crib in the morning when they wake up, and she has been practicing sign language with Colbie.  Well, I must get back to packing for our long drive in the morning.

Colbie's First Haircut

Colbie was due for a little cleaning up with her hair and today was the day.  We had our first experience at a "kids cuts" place and it went pretty well.  Colbie sat in a little car chair and didn't sit still for one second.  I don't know how they cut little kids hair.  She really didn't like feeling the lady touching her hair, but she didn't cry until she got her hair dried.  She looks pretty cute and ready for Christmas.

Also, this evening we tried for the first time a "drive thru" Nativity.  Each car received a cd that led us through the tour.  It only took about 15 minutes, but it was pretty cool.  They had real people and real animals which the kids loved.  View Album for more pictures.

Visiting Santa & The Zoo

Last weekend we visited Santa at our neighborhood clubhouse.  I really love that we don't have to go far or wait in long lines...they bring Santa to us.  They had lots of good food and plenty of crafts for the kids to stay busy.  Colbie screamed her face off when she sat on Santa's lap...pretty funny!

We visited the zoo today and it was much colder than we're used to.  It was beautiful out and only about 5 other families there.  It's amazing how the same animals are just as exciting every time we go to the zoo.  Colbie really had fun on this trip.  She loves monkeys and went down kicking and screaming when I picked her up to leave the monkey.  She squealed with excitement at each animal that moved.  View Album for more pictures.
