Xmas 2008

Well is was quite an eventful Christmas this year. It was Joni's first Christmas and she didn't quite know what to make of it, but loved playing with the paper. Evan, on the other hand, was sick for Christmas. I felt so bad for him because he was so excited this year about Christmas and he didn't get to enjoy it. In fact he didn't get to enjoy any of the Christmas' we had. We had several and still one to go. At least they still get to enjoy the toys and stuff afterwards.

2008 Christmas Photo

This was not the easiest photo to get. I tried having Joni sit in Evan's lap, but she wanted to keep looking at him or pulling on the tree. So I had to have her stand up and Evan hold onto her to get this photo.

Then I took their individual pictures. Of course getting Evan to smile is like pulling teeth, but Joni, on the other hand, it a ham in front of the camera.

Joni is eight months

Joni is now sitting up like a champ. She also likes to bend herself in half, which is a sign for getting ready to crawl - oh dear! She is "talking" a lot, which is what a girl does. She still does not take good naps, however I have been having a little success back in the swing, but she does wake up to see if I am there. If I am not she starts screaming, sometimes will go back to sleep and other times I have to rock her back to sleep. I can just thank god she sleeps well at night.
