Fiesty Girl!

Hi Love,
Oh so much to talk about, where to start....Your dad had a work trip this past weekend and just got home today. So I decided to head to the cabin with you to see Great Grandma Culbert. Grandma and Grandpa Karimi came with. We all piled into the van on Friday (including Lucy and Rosie) and drove up. You of course slept the whole way. We stopped in Virginia to visit my Grandma at the nursing home. I put your Christmas dress on you and we took some 4 generation pictures. Great Grandma Culbert loved seeing you.  Auntie Robin and Auntie Betty Thayer were there also and just as we were leaving Uncle David stopped by. It was a great visit! We then headed to your Great Uncle Billy's for dinner. Cousin Nicole came over to see you too. Of course everyone wanted to see you.

We finally got the cabin around 9 pm and it was freezing!!! The floor heater wasn't working...i was all worried that you would be too cold so I put a hat on you and bundled you up in lots of layers. You didn't complain. Luckily we had some space heaters that we used. Eventually it heated up. Saturday we just hung out at the cabin. Grandma and I worked on a puzzle. Unfortunately, you were not a happy camper on Saturday. You wanted to be held to whole time and would not nap. I finally took you into bed with me and finally got you to fall asleep. I even slept a little. You continued to be fussy the rest of the day. And you found your voice!!! You decided you like to hear yourself scream. I should actually refer to it more as a screech. It is deafening!!! Grandma finally bundled you up and took your for a walk outside in the snow, it was even dark out at that point! You did fall asleep in your stroller and Grandma and I were able to get some work done on the puzzle.

You were much better on Sunday. We stopped and saw Great Grandma Culbert again on our way home. It was beautiful so we took Grandma outside. You both were so cute all bundled up! We also stopped and saw Adam, Kaylee and Ethan in Cloquet. You and Ethan were so cute together. Lastly we stopped in St. Paul and had dinner with Auntie Soni. Cousin Andrea was also there so she got to hold you.

In more current news..you rolled over TWICE today, for the first time! I had you on your tummy (which you don't love) and you lifted your head up and suddenly rolled onto your back. I was so excited as were Grandma and Grandpa. You did again right after that just like a pro. Your dad wasn't here to see it...so I tried to get you to do it again so I could take a video of it...but of course you didn't want to.

Dad got home today and was so excited to see you after being gone for over 4 days. You are in such a fun and inquisitive stage. You want to grab everything you see and of course put everything into your much. You also require more entertainment and are no longer content just being on your back. You like to be sitting up! We put you in your little high chair now and you "eat dinner" with us. It is pretty cute.

You definitely have a lot of personality and I have a feeling you are going to be feisty!! (just like me!)

Well I think that is a pretty good update. I will post pictures soon.

Love you little one. (i am going to go peek on you in your nursery before I go to bed).


Uncle David stopped by while we were visiting your Great Grandma Culbert


Then Uncle Billy had to get his Maya time in!


You and Great Grandma Culbert all bundled up!


Your second cousin Ethan-you both are a lot bigger than the last picture we took of the two of you together!

I think you two are going to be good buds in the future-and get in lots of trouble!
