The little bit is actually in the room with me now.  She is being fed, and then we will be leaving to go to my sister’s house which is in the middle of nowhere.  I have the address, and I tried to Google map it a couple of times, but Google cannot find my sister’s house.  That’s comforting.  I sort of feel like I’m about to enter into the real life version of The Hills Have Eyes.  I trust my sister, though.  Mostly.

The following pictures are from the first day of Christmas, the first time Alice got to eat rice cereal mixed in with her milk.  This also means she got to eat from a spoon.  I am pleased to report that she loved the stuff.

Also!  I have more great news.  I am an aunt again!  My sister-in-law is pregnant and due in July.  More squishy little people!  Elatedness abounds!

“Gimme.  Gimme now.  …Please.”

“Just…give me the bowl.  You’re too slow.”

“Mama, Aunt Lindsay is even slower than you.”

Staring at my Ally-Angel

“Ok.  I think I’ll keep my Aunt Lindsay.”

Alice wanted to eat her present.

She had some help from her mama opening it, but she tried her best.  To eat the wrapping paper.

“Aunt Lindsay says I have elf ears…”

“But I also have a mama who loves me.”
