Is it really December already????



Wow! I can't believe it's already December - and nearly half over at that! We are very much in the Christmas spirit over here at the Muller house. Emma is LOVING all the Christmas lights and decor, particularly the snowmen and penguins. I think by now I'm singing Frosty the Snowman in my sleep! It is certainly her favorite and who can resist her little voice saying, "Snowman, one more time, please?" She has no idea that Christmas leads to presents, only that it means lots of pretty lights and fresh baked cookies - works for me!

Abby is turning 7 months old tomorrow! She is certainly becoming her own person - complete with likes (mommy, breastmilk, making lots of noise, breastmilk, her sister, breastmilk...) and dislikes (napping, rice cereal, peas, her car seat). She was a bit underweight at her 6 month appointment (VERY hard to believe, given her abundance of baby rolls!) so we were on Operation Milk Production over here. It worked! She passed her weight check on Monday and is back on track. Yeah! She is still working on the crawling - still no forward motion yet but coming ever so close! She's sitting up like a champ and loves bouncing around in her exersaucer. She has her moments, but overall she is still such an incredibly happy baby. Such a joy!

Here are a few video clips of the girls. The first one is Emma and Abby having a little rock concert in the living room. It was so stinkin' cute! The second one is Emma saying her ABCs. She's been saying them for a bit now, but she's finally (sometimes) willing to do them on command. She was brushing her teeth the other night and was willing to let me video her singing them so this is actually taken in the bathroom - not the best scenery for the video, but beggars can't be choosers around here! Enjoy!
