Swing Safety, Santa Suit, and a New Cousin

Bill finally captured Sandy tipping out of her swing on video. It is a rather long video, but quite funny!



She is wearing a Santa suit my mom got for her. Bill took some pictures of her in it and we are hoping to use one of them for Christmas cards.

Also, Sandy has a new cousin: Beatrix. We went to meet Beatrix and here are some pictures of the cousins (including Beatrix's older brother Enoch).

This picture is of the two girls. I am so excited that Sandy has a cousin her age on both sides of the family. Beatrix is only 6 months younger. On the other side of the family, Lexie is only 1 month younger.

Enoch really enjoyed dessert!

Shopping Entertainment and Swings

After a long day of Christmas shopping, Sandy and I stopped by Walmart to pick up a couple of items. Sandy was no longer interested in the toys I had with me, so when I found the first thing on my list (a package of baby spoons) I gave it to her to play with and went to find the rest of the items on my list. She was quiet and so I didn't pay much attention to her for a few minutes. Here is what the package of spoons looked like:



She loves her swing. Here's a short video of her in it.



The last couple of days, Bill and I have found her in her swing but with her head down on the ground. I have no idea how she manages that. Tonight we put her in her swing and tried to get it on film. Of course, she wouldn't do it when we were watching.

I did get a cute picture of Bill holding her, a rarity since he is usually the one behind the camera.
