Going back - Grant first said "Mama" while we were out to dinner with my MIL on Wednesday, September 14. On the 24th, he said the /d/ sound, which continued into saying it repeatedly on October 1 for Aaron. He also started crawling on Oct. 1, skipping the army crawl and scoot and whatever else and going straight for digging knees into the ground and propelling himself forward, resulting in many face plants!

So, Grant crawled today. Not to mama, not to daddy, but to the sweeper. Also, Ellie correctly identified some letters today as we were putting them away! ♥
Roll Over
Ellie's favorite nursery rhyme right now is:
Her brother has rolled over twice within the first month! The first time, front to back, happened during tummy time. Poppy, my dad, and I saw it happen. The second time, I had put Grant to bed on his back, and Aaron found him sleeping on his tummy.
One, two, three, four, five. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. There were 10 in the bed and the little one said, "Roll over. Roll over." So they all rolled over and one fell out.

Grant, four days old, rolled onto his side.
Paint Your Masterpiece
I went through with my first Groupon purchase today. I had signed up for emails and wasn't quite sure what all the hoopla was about until today's deal showed up. It was for a little pottery shop called Paint Your Masterpiece - I've been wanting to go there but just haven't done it for many reasons, but I decided that we'd go as a family and put our prints on something special to commemorate Ellie's adoption finalization coming up this month. I'm so excited to do this and can't wait to share the results. :o)
Cheers
Ellie bypassed her sippy cup and went straight for a drinking glass. She knew enough to put the sippy to her mouth, but wouldn't suck on it to get the liquid out. I tried some water in a drinking glass on Thursday (12/10) and she drank out of it perfectly!
She loves her Puffs - Sweet Potato and Peach flavors. Ellie is very good at grasping them, but we're still working on getting them into her mouth.
All I Want for Christmas...
...Is My Two Front Teeth. Ellie sprouted her first tooth this morning (bottom-left central incisor). The right incisor is not far behind (Dec. 13)!
Wintertime
Today was Ellie's first snow. Though we didn't get to enjoy it - she had spent the night at Gigi's house and I was leaving for school before dawn.

Ellie said "Da da da" today and clapped her hands! I can't believe how fast she's growing up.

You've finally realize you can manipulate your tongue. It's adorable to watch you blow raspberries and bubbles.
