You know that song, “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth”? Well that’s all Annabelle wants this year. Or any teeth will do. That’s right, she’s 10 months old and still has no teeth. Not even a bump showing one may come in soon.
Annabelle had her first Thanksgiving. She didn’t have turkey or pumpkin pie but she did enjoy some pears and mashed potatoes. We also enjoyed watching the Cowboy's win.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving Mason’s Dad had a stroke while visiting the Kansas relatives. Mason went out there that night and stayed for two weeks. That meant a lot of Mommy and Me time! Mason said he’s doing better. He was completely paralyzed on his left side and is now having to go through rehabilitation to learn how to do things with his left side again. Before Mason left he was able to see his Dad walk about 15 feet with the help of a walker, which is so good to hear.
I wanted to make sure we sent a BIG Thank You to everyone that helped us out. Thanks to the Kansas family for picking Mason up from the Airport, giving him a place to stay and making sure he ate. To the Grandma’s that came over and played with Annabelle while I went to work. To all our family, friends and coworkers for the thoughts, prayers and support. We are so thankful for you all!!!
Annabelle went to visit Santa after Daddy came home from Kansas. She didn’t cry but she didn’t really smile either. Daddy got her a shirt that said “It’s my first Christmas” but Santa’s hand covered it up in the picture. Santa said Annabelle asked for a Maserati for Christmas. I wonder if he’ll follow up with that gift request.
Annabelle went to her first music class last week. She liked playing with the instruments and the little shakers. She wasn’t a fan of the scarves we danced around with. I think her favorite part of the class was watching the other kids.
The most recent thing Annabelle can do now is walk along things. She’s been pulling herself up onto everything and she’s started taking a couple steps here and there. There were a couple times where she let go and stood on her own for a few seconds. I don’t think walking is too far away. She also gets into everything!!! The stuff you tell her not to touch is what she’s most interested in. I think we’re in for a fun ride!
That’s all we have for now. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
