We spent Thanksgiving this year at home with Papa and G-Ma Ann. Lia and Zadie spent a lot of time dreaming about future years when they will be able to enjoy smoked turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and all the other great Thanksgiving fixings--and watching football with Papa. For now, they both seem to be thankful for milk as they have become good little eaters. In fact you could set a clock by Zadie's hunger patterns--at about two and half hours she consistently begins to stir making sure we do not forget a meal. Both girls continue to grow like crazy and are awake and alert more each day, but they still will not flash intentional smiles no matter how goofy we make ourselves look--any day now. Their heads still wobble, but they are getting much stronger and more stable every day. Soon we will see sturdy little heads.
Earlier this week the girls visited Santa for the first time ever. We asked Santa for a full night of sleep, but I'm afraid the girls may have had different Christmas wishes. Soon enough. In the meantime we'll try to "cherish every moment" as everyone else seems to say--easy to say on a full night of sleep.
We are so thankful for these little girls. Even though its hard to imagine life without them, we think back to a year ago when we had not a clue what was in store for us and how much our lives would change in a short year.
Happy Thanksgiving!
