Cousin Michael

I got to meet my cousin Michael for the first time today. Here we are, listening to a story with Uncle Jeff:

Little Helper

This morning I am helping Mommy make Christmas cookies:
I even got to taste some of the batter:

I love Christmas!

(And I can't wait to open presents on Saturday! I've already climbed up on the kitchen table and tried to open them several times.)

Little Climber

Lizzie is a climber! She climbs on chairs, tables, and shelves. Yesterday, she even climbed up--very precariously, I might add--on the second rung of this kitchen chair. Scary! (This picture was taken this morning.)

I love candy!

Here I am eating a sucker at a party on Saturday:
And here I am today, after climbing on a chair (without any help) to get to a candy cane:

Happy One-Month Birthday, Heidi!

Heidi turned one month old today!
Isn't she cute?

This picture's a little fuzzy, but you can see how she's started lifting her head and pushing up on her arms: We love Heidi!

Liz

Check out these stylin' shades. (They're supposed to be cat eyes; Liz got 'em in her kids meal at Sonic a while back.)
Here's the view from behind. It looks like Elizabeth has a promising career as a plumber! (Is this inappropriate to post?)

The Miller Girls

About a week and a half ago, I went to check on Lizzie during naptime, and I found her sleeping in the crib like this--with her little bum up in the air. (If the crib looks funny, it's because the mattress was elevated. Liz had a cold, and I read that putting a pillow under the head of the mattress helps.)
Last week Lizzie was "helping" me make dinner. Here she is playing with the olives (which she doesn't like to eat, by the way):

I looked over today to see Heidi sucking on her ring and middle fingers in her sleep:
