Santa made it to the Faulkner residence and you can see from the mound of presents under the tree. Katya sure had fun opening presents and has lots of great new toys to play with. Her play kitchen is proving a great storage spot for toys! We drove home yesterday and are enjoying be back in our own beds. I slept 12 hours last night which I really needed.
The snow is melting fast here since temperatures have been well above freezing and it has been raining. The residential roads were a mess yesterday but have gotten a lot better over night. Our grass is peeking through in the front yard and with more rain on the way I am sure the snow will be completely gone very soon.
Katya learned several new words over the weekend. She is saying "spoon," "Daisy" (Doug and Sharon's dog), "Addi" and "Baba" in reference to the Grandpa's. She also says "baba" as bottle but started pointing to Doug and saying "Baba" too. When she saw Grandpa T's picture she also pointed and said "Baba." I was impressed that she has made that connection on her own because it was not something I have worked a ton with her on. She also started saying "Addi" without much prompting. She is so smart! She got a fork, spoon and bowl set for Christmas and is learning to use the spoon. The bowl suctions to her high chair tray and the spoon has a nice big grip. She is doing pretty well at scoping but usually turns the spoon upside down by the time she gets it to her mouth. I am sure she will have it down in no time. Love, Brenda
