"Santa, I already have 2 front teeth ... how about some hair?!"So yesterday the little missy checked in at 21.2# and 29.5" long - the result of a very active month! She is such a fun little explorer, although still via crawling and cruising rather than walking. That'll come soon enough! She loves to sit in the floor and "read" books - sometimes for 15 minutes at a time ... woohoo, let's hear it for lengthening attention spans!
"Nana" came from VA for a week and we all enjoyed that very much ... although the week disappeared well before all of my projects got completed. Toriana loved playing with Nana ... and with the new Laugh and Learn that Nana got for her (thanks for the heads up, Beth B - it's great!)
It was fun to go to Lisa's shower on Saturday - a cozy home, good company, and some cute kids for Toriana to enjoy ... but the trek home was rather horrid with blinding snow and wind ... I learned again about trust. Toriana slept peacefully in the back, the whole way. Another adult would've been peering out the front window, gasping at times, making judgements about me because of the cars I was passing or the cars passing me, wondering if we should pull off and give up, etc. A contrast from trust, indeed, and a good spiritual parallel.
Toriana's NEW COUSIN arrived on Sunday night in the midst of a Pacific NW storm ... Jakob Scott Zosel, weighing in at 6#6oz and 19.5" long ... we sure look forward to meeting him although it's hard to say just when that will be.

Excited to hear about little Jakob! Cousins are so much fun & so nice that you are relatively close. Torianna is a precious little package! BTW, I think I have a little girl that is following Torianna in being bald (oh, it is so soft to rub your check against their peach fuzz) & also agreeing that only the cream of the crop will sufice for food! :-) Happy Holidays!
Great to see you at the shower.
Really fun to see your not-so-little peanut. She is just adorable! See you Sunday!
