Up to New Tricks

Miss Cecilia is getting very crafty in her old age (she'll be one year old on Wednesday). She loves to play peekaboo with anything she can find - a towel, a blanket, the curtain for the sliding door. Also, she helps us with the laundry; we load up the basket and she pushes it to the bedroom to be folded. Below is a video of her helping with the trash, too.

On Wednesday, Ceci and I went Christmas and birthday shopping. I figure, she doesn't know, so might as well. She's getting a new car seat for her birthday, but it wouldn't fit in the trunk. Here's how I made it work (and yes, she pulled off one shoe and sock on the way home):



These are the pictures from her latest "peekaboo" escapades:



The "trash" video:

Tonight, we took our Christmas card picture. What an adventure! Between the dog, the girl, and the timer on the camera, I'm not sure how we got one to come out at all, but we did. We wanted to take an individual shot of Cecilia, but she wasn't cooperating until we gave her a present to play with. We got a good shot, then we got the following video. She actually does the spinning quite often:

I'll definitely post again Saturday night and give you all the details for Cecilia's birthday bash. See ya then!
