I do this to my kids:
“I hate you.”
“Mommy . . .”
“. . .”
“That’s silly.”
“That’s better!”

Solid!
Once upon a time, Rebecca liked solid foods. Okay, well, she liked bananas like two times. But at eight months, she’s once again nursing exclusively.
Baby: folds for easy storage convenience!
I think it had something to do with the entire month she spent with teeth painfully bulging her gums. The closest she came to solids was a steady stream of Tylenol.
Also, she had the dreaded car pox
We tried a variety of foods; we gave her teething biscuits; we let her hold saltines. The only thing she had any interest in sticking in her mouth was the bottle of the aforementioned medicine.
Silly Mommy. I don’t want this!
One tooth finally came through last Friday and the second this Friday. But that wasn’t what it took to get her interested in solids.
Yesterday, I had some beef stew. She found my empty bowl very interesting, so I tried to tease her with a little of the leftover sauce in a spoon.
She ate it. She ate and ate and ate until I couldn’t scrape together enough to put in her mouth anymore. I fetched half a teething biscuit; she suddenly understood where that was supposed to go. She went to town on some saltines.
Nummy!
We haven’t attempted any more solids today, but here’s hoping she’ll be interested when we do!

Christmas jammies
I can’t remember how long we’ve had this tradition, but every year, my mom would let us open one gift on Christmas Eve—and it was always pajamas (and virtually always flannel pajamas).
This year, Hayden and Rebecca got pajamas that match all their cousins’ (thanks Aunt Toria!). You can see Hayden’s beloved monkey pajamas with his bike on Christmas morning.
Keeping with the animal theme, my mom got us reindeer pajamas!
Here’s our happy family in front of my in-laws’ Christmas tree:
Rebecca seemed to like them very much:

Santa Baby!
Yes, we did celebrate Christmas—but with all the traveling and then the recovery, I haven’t had a chance to get around to posting any pictures from a very fun Christmas with my in-laws. But that’s changing today!
These are from our ward Christmas party:
Hayden saw that Santa was giving other children small bags of candy. So while we were in line, I asked Hayden what he was going to ask Santa for and he wisely chose “Nanee!”
Rebecca wasn’t too impressed with Santa.
But she’s Santa Baby!

Got toes?
I’ve been making soup a lot lately: salsa soup, white bean soup, and coming up this weekend, turkey noodle soup, of course.
Hayden has also been making soup: mostly alphabet.
Yeah, that’s a deep fryer.
In other activities, Hayden has begun singing various and sundry songs, with a little help from us:
He’ll be ready for Don’t Forget the Lyrics any day now.
Not to be forgotten, Rebecca has made her own strides this week. On Monday, she discovered her toes!
