I feel like the theme of this year is me constantly being behind with blogging. When I do have some rare free time, I don't like being on my computer.
We have been busy this month getting ready for Christmas. We went to pick out Christmas tree and they were giving free wagon rides, so Uncas and Eddie enjoyed that.
Uncas and I set up the tree and decorated while Eddie was napping that day. He was most impressed with it when he woke up. So far he has been really good with the tree. His favorite ornament is one that was Uncas' when he was a little kid - a train!
Eddie also got to enjoy our first big snow fall. He has a little shovel and loved going outside to help Daddy shovel snow. Unfortunately his new boots weren't here in time, but fortunately we had some pink boots for when Edith is older and they fit him perfectly!
Miss Edith has been busy cutting more teeth. I attempted to get a picture of her two bottom ones, but it's hard to get up close, have her smile with mouth open and make sure the picture isn't blurry. Here is my best effort.
We also started putting her in her high chair. We got a new one to save space - so it's much like Eddie's booster and just fits onto a regular chair. She likes sitting in it and playing with toys. My parents were here this weekend (more on that in a minute) and my mom was itching to get her started on solids. So on Sunday we let my mom feed her rice cereal. She did well and seemed to like it well enough.
My parents were in town this weekend to help us out because Eddie needed to have some minor surgery last Thursday. They baby-sat all day for Edith, so we could both be at the hospital with Eddie. It was an out patient surgery, but it was a long day. He did great and is healing and bouncing back very quickly. Here are a few pictures from that day.

This morning I decided to bring out the Johnny Jump-Up for Edith. She wasn't too sure about it, but then Eddie came over to play with her and she liked that better!
Those pictures of Eddie at the hospital are just so sweet, especially cuddling and napping with his daddy! So glad everything went well and that he's recovering. (And hey, we have that same airplane!) :)
