Christmas Eve, 2009 (Video)
Christmas Eve (2009) from Mike C on Vimeo.
Last year we posted a video of the kid making a Christmas eve snack plate for Father Christmas and his reindeer. I remember being pretty stoked with the video because it actually displayed Lucy saying a few words, a rare happening back then.
Boy, how times have changed!
The kid’s vocabulary has exploded over the past twelve months. Where once stood a toddler making tentative attempts at lone, monosyllabic words, we now have a little girl who speaks in complete sentences and even improvises songs! Is that cool or what? She even plays jokes now:
“Mommy, I have a present for you!” = “my diaper is full!”
Hilarity ensues for all involved (except mommy.)
It was neat having a cute little baby. I treasure that time and occasionally find myself getting nostalgic for a long-gone version of Lucy, a phase the kid has outgrown and discarded. However, this new kid, the one we’re actually able to have conversations with, is extremely cool. I can’t wait until she’s old enough where we can both play pranks on her mommy!

I love how she lines up the cookies and carrots (7 carrots for 5 reindeer!) So cute!

Yep, she likes structure for some stuff. Maybe she’ll rub off on her mom!
