December 12th: Daddy's Birthday
Eric took off work for his birthday! It was a wonderful day! In the morning, the kids distracted Eric and we made him snowmen Rice Krispie treats for his birthday. After the big kids went to school, Eric and I played a Magic tournament all day. He won, but with my deck, so everyone was happy. =) He played X-men with the kids when they got home, and thoroughly enjoyed his day home!
Maia is having a language explosion. Today she kept running away from Eric and going into the bathroom chanting "Bath, bath!" Yay! And she will wave and say "bye bye" when you ask her to... sometimes. She still won't say things just because you ask her to, but she is definitely talking more. She says something that sounds sort of like "parade" whenever we read the Christmas Parade, so that's another one. Oh, and "all done", accompanied by trying to pull her tray off her high chair, just in case we didn't understand that she'd like us to get her out. I just love talking to my baby!!
