Clare's early Christmas gift

Sing it with me...All's she wants for Christmas is her two front teeth...
and they came a few days early!  Clare's front teeth finally poked through!  the right one yesterday and the left one today!  Neither of the boys got teeth that close together.  She is still chewing on toys like crazy but hopefully this will provide some relief to all that bulging pain.  now, i hope her cold can go away for Christmas too so she isn't so miserable and we can all sleep better.  Winter vacation has started in our house.  the kids and i are off for almost 2 weeks!  Unfortunately someone has to work :(.  We are looking forward to time together at home. Merry Christmas! 

I have misplaced our card reader so can't get our great pictures off the camera card else i'd attach some here.  Hopefully i can find it soon.  I trimmed Clare's bangs a little which changed her look a little and her wavy hair is getting so long!  it's past her arms when straight (in the bath) but it just gathers up at her neck in waves.  She is such a happy, patient baby.  still getting used to daycare though.  doesn't eat or sleep much yet, while there.  she loves the jumperoo and watching all the other babies.  she is the only girl in the infant room.  6 boys and Clare.  Zach's broken foot is healing but still hurts when he isn't wearing his sturdy boots so that'll continue.  He's gotten into all the Christmas songs and it's great fun hearing the words he is interpreting.  he calls eggnog, milknog (both boys love it too). when we were singing Rudolph, Nathaniel was saying the first part, "do you recall the most famous reindeer of all" and Zach blurts out, "Dasher!".  Nate made lots of wonderful holiday things at school and is super excited to be off for 2 weeks. He has asked Santa for a real train for christmas because he has seen pictures of the elves making trains so he's thinking the odds are good for Santa to have one to bring to him.  He's my practical one!  I totally get the way he thinks:).

I did just get my video's off that camera and here is one of Clare from yesterday.  i think she is clicking her bottom teeth with her new top front tooth.  she did this all evening yesterday.  it was so funny!

this last video shows us putting ornaments on the tree. look at Clare in the background reaching for the tree.
