We are trying to enjoy our last few weekends as a family of three. Jimmy has several long weekends until the birth of baby Alex, so we have been spending a lot of time at home, relaxing and spending quality time with our little Amelia.

I love these guys!
Amelia had so many gifts under the tree this year. We decided to let her open one gift a night for the past few nights. We hoped this would prepare her for the big day and also to avoid overwhelming her with too many toys on Christmas day.
Our plan was perfect... especially because it took her about 10 minutes to open one gift. (We tried not to help her.) She really understood the concept of unwrapping the gift to reveal something new and fun.
The first night, she got a new puzzle and was so excited when it was unveiled. She was smiling, giggling, and babbling. She was so eager to start playing with it. However, she had a tantrum because Jimmy had to take it away for a minute to put batteries in it. Can we say, DIVA?
Practicing the concept of being "gentle" with Olivia.
Telling Daddy he has a phone call.
Where's Daddy's mouth?
Calling her peeps...
Deciding she wants to play with her basket of balls.
"Mimi, put the ball on your head."
She is following directions well!
