Serena gets LOTS of kisses, and it's no wonder...how can anyone resist those BIG SQUISHY CHEEKS?!?!?
This is the look Serena gives Macy when Macy starts howling (whenever we talk to Serena in a silly voice or use silly noises to get a laugh out of her, Macy feels the need to join in on the fun by howling)
BIG smiles!!! :) Notice in this picture and in the first one Serena's newest trick: twisting her tongue into a corkscrew...man, I can't even do that!!! ;)
Today we were very busy getting ready to go to Minnesota for New Years Eve. Besides my normal activities (read: taking care of Serena), I did five loads of laundry (which included changing the sheets); made
mocha truffles,
peanut butter wafers, and
puppy chow; and did some packing. Whew! Looking forward to this weekend, though!!! :D
Serena had an exciting first Christmas! Besides enjoying the novelty of opening presents, she spent the day being passed around and doted on by everyone; and of course, napping and eating. :) To make things a little more memorable, she had a HUGE blow-out tonight at the Horak Christmas gathering. :P Before we left for the party she had been napping for over 3 hours, and I finally had to wake her up to take her to the party. I didn't have time to change her, so I figured I would just do it when we got to the party. On the drive over, I heard her do a little toot, and I thought to myself how she hadn't pooped for at least two days and whenever she ended up pooping it was probably going to be a big one! Shortly after we got her in the house, she started making the rounds of Jordan's aunts and uncles. I thought I had better intercept her and get her diaper changed since she'd been wearing it for quite a while. Lo and behold, the little twirp had made a BIG MESS in there and gotten it on her clothes and on her blanket!!!! :P Out came the back-up onesie and Serena's cute but poopy "Baby's First Christmas" outfit was banished to a Wal-Mart sack! Way to go, Serena! Merry Christmas! :D
