Words and Phrases

Little C has picked up "Ready, Set, Go" She really likes "ready" Which started while watching snowmobiling videos and really got her attention skiing.

This morning she requested to go to the Basement with big C, using basement for the first time.

Little C also talked to both of her grandmothers on the fun, she didn't say much, she mostly replied with a very enthusiastic yes or once she said fast (talking about sledding and snowmobiling with big C)

Last week we had a bit of a warm up, it got into the 40's, and while watching the weather she yelled at the weather man every time he was talking about the forecasted temperatures. "No...Noooooo nonononono!!!!" over and over. I figure it was a coincidence but it sure was funny.

Love to all

New Word

Little C learned a new word this weekend!!!

STUCK

We were watching big C on the snowmobile, he was packing down some trails so he could take out little C for some fun and he got stuck in the deep snow out back. So I pointed this little fact out to little C and used the word stuck in a sentence once or twice.

As big C cleaned up after getting unstuck, he stopped in close to the same place to grab his come-along and ropes and little C asked "stuck?" I explained what he was doing.

Time went by, the played outside, went snowmobiling, came in had a snack etc.

Later in the afternoon I hear a little cry for help, that was quickly getting distressed...once I tracked down little C she looked at me and said "arm stuck" with a disgusted look/ tone. She had gotten her arm stuck in a drawer. Well at least we know she figured out what the word meant.

love
U

Sleep talking & signing

Yesterday while little C was sleeping in a bit, she was restless and she actually talked clearly in her sleep. Actually first she was signing for cheese, then she was asking for yogurt.

We were out, had been since the night before - she will have to wait till I go shopping again.

Snowmobiling

Well this has been the result of little C's last few snowmobiling rides.



Today we managed to get her helmet, goggles, and boots off, and she's a little more unzipped. But it required us making snowmobile sounds and jiggling the chair.

Initially we hadn't planned on taking little C out to snowmobile or ski - it was a bit too cold but she saw a motorcycle on TV and felt the need to go out for a ride - so since she requested we bundled her up real good and big C and little C went on out.

Hoiday # 5 - Camp Cornish

Our final family Christmas.

We are at Camp Cornish for the gathering with my parents, Gramma and Grampa A, Morgan, Jon and there little one JP.

We all arrived Friday night and got settled in.

Big C and I headed to bed late for us around 9 pm, little C was not interested in sleeping so we left her with the rest of the adults. She was brought up shortly after to nurse and go to bed. She managed to nurse but not to sleep, she actually left our room and when down stairs again. We were fine with this since the lights were on so some one must have been up. Gramma A and little C stayed up until 1 am. What a little night owl. Little C was then up at 6 am ready to go.

We spread out our stocking and gift opening to not over whelm the little one. The weekend was filled with lots of fun times, family and a lot of great food.

We were in charge of breakfast Saturday and served up omelets, muffins, english muffins, friut, OJ and we even brought along some of our own apple butter made with the apples of the tree in our back yard.

We had a wonderful weekend.

Holiday # 4 - NH

So this is our 4th holiday celebration, if you count our first one in CT, then actual Christmas week in FL, then we as a family celebrated our Christmas on New Years Day - it was a very low key event, although we learned the maximum number of clementines little C should eat is something less than 5.

We still have one to go in Cornish.

This weekend we were in NH visiting Big C's Gram and uncle Jack. And again we had more wonderful visits with everyone. We arrived Friday night, got to bed early, and got an early start to the morning.

Little C tried out her ski's inside the house and out. We celebrated our Christmas Saturday morning after breakfast. Little C brought home a first words radio toy and an stuffed life size emperor penguin. Little C loves the penguin and carries/ drags it around the house everywhere she goes.

We provided lunch, big C made chili, a green bean salad, and we brought bread. Everone seems to have liked it and we managed not to poison anyone.

Big C, myself and Mike headed out to the dump leaving little C in the capable hands of her Grammy and Great -Gram - apparently she didn't even know we were gone until she heard us come back.

We had to cut our trip short, we came home Saturday night after dinner, unfortunately little C got sick and we felt it was best to finish the weekend out in our own home.

We are hoping we didn't share anything more than good food and family time.
