Toys Toys Toys

Nina celebrated her first Christmas after another successful roadtrip to both sets of grandparents' houses. She slept the whole way - I guess the scenery on the Mass Pike is pretty bland.

Here's Nina with Mom, showing off her new dress for the holidays:



Some of her new toys are motivation for extra effort during tummy time:



And she is discovering her hands more and more each day. 2007 will be a year to remember with a lot of milestones for Nina. Have a happy new year!

Ho Ho Ho

Sometimes you can take an everyday household item and turn it into a crazy obsession for your baby. Take this Santa potholder, for instance, which Nina can't take her eyes off. She concentrates very well!





Coming next week...Niccolina's first Christmas! Can we at least get some of the white stuff on the ground or what???

Exercise

Nina is now sticking to a very structured exercise routine - sometimes. It looks like she is starting to get the hang of grabbing objects (she has a pretty strong grip):



And here she is holding her head up nicely during tummy time. She can sit up pretty well too - if you give her some lower back support. Her neck is getting stronger, and there is less of the bobblehead-effect:
