Happy Holidays!

Sorry we've been such bad bloggers! Quick update: Lola is constantly surprising us with her language development. She loves the alphabet and can say all the letters and sign them. She likes to point to them and say them aloud. Her speech is getting clearer all the time. And she's finally using her language to tell us what she wants - during one of our many car trips this past week, she asked "where's cookie?" with both sign and vocalizing. We'll post more soon. Hope you all had lovely holidays!

Holiday Family Time

We were lucky to squeeze in family time with both sides for the holidays. Susan's entire family got together for the weekend, and we were with Derrick's family for the actual holidays. Lola and her cousin Jessica had a wonderful time together and were so cute on Christmas morning with the presents and boxes and wrappings. Good times!

1st Annual Louisville Cookie Party

We had our first cookie party inviting nieces and neighbors. I've been making holiday cookies with my sister supposedly since I was born, so I wanted to start the tradition with Lola in our house. We had a great time - they all made very beautiful cookies! A quick check for Lola's hearing: just say the word "cookie" - I swear she can hear that from across the room over other conversations.
