She can walk!

Just kidding! Here is Bridget trying out her first pair of tennis shoes.

Lexi and Santa

I don't know why I didn't think to get a picture of both girls with Santa. :( Maybe next year.

Snow Day!

Shane plowed the driveway while Lexi played outside in the snow.

Merry Christmas!

Here are Christmas pictures that I took of the girls.

Bridget vs. Teddy

Here is how Bridget compares to her teddy bear. haha!



Bridget still gets up every 2 hours around the clock and on rare occasion sleeps for 3 hours. It is tiring but seeing her little face at 3am makes up for it. She is awake more during the day and likes to stare at the Christmas tree and any light that is nearby. We went to the eye doctor on Tuesday and found out she has a congenital cataract in her left eye. I was worried that she would see a blurry spot but the doctor said that she will see just fine (no blurry spots). He also said that some people don't even know they have them. Her spot is less than a millimeter and shouldn't grow or multiply. I still worry about it though. We go back in a month to have it checked again.

Cookie Day!

Today, we went over to the Erickson's to bake cookies. Papa Ted held Bridget while we were mixing up the dough.

Lexi helped put sprinkles on the cookies.


I made cookies called Sandies. They were pretty easy to make (the recipe uses 2 sticks of butter!) although I couldn't get them to bake completely - even after 30 minutes in the oven. I'm definitely not a baker. :) Here is the dough...yummy!
