She's not a baby girl, she's a spider monkey!

December learned how to climb up on the couch yesterday. Yikes! She's too good at it already. She sometimes just sits up there, lounging about, like Brad and I do, but she also likes to jump up and down on the couch and flail around. The couch just isn't big enough for her to do that and be safe! She needs a super close eye on her. If I look away for a moment, she's climbed up on the couch and is bouncing around or lounging around. Ha ha -- even as I wrote that, she climbed up on the couch, and I had to go rescue her. Oh! There she goes again...I think I'd better go.

Playing Around

Ever since she was able to crawl, December has liked to play with doors. She finds it fascinating to open and close them. She likes to close herself into a room...and then get upset if the door can't be opened up again. She was doing it again today, so I thought I'd take a couple of pictures. As you can see, she is mighty pleased with herself!

We're having another house showing tonight. We had one last night and the night before that. So now our total is 7 showings in 3 weeks. I think what's scaring people off is that our basement gets wet (Brad and I think we live on top of a spring). It's not like you can go swimming in the basement or anything (you MAYBE can splash in a little puddle, if you tried really hard), but Brad's going to install a sump pump. We sold those when I worked in a hardware store, but I never really knew alot about them. Now I'll get to know one first-hand...unfortunately!

Where's Waldo?

Did you ever do any of the "Where's Waldo" books? Well, this is "Where's December?" (it's not really that hard, though..)

December is inspecting a fluffy white dandelion

Yesterday we had a blast at Tulip Time! I want to get some pictures from Mom before I put them up here, though. The day started out super rainy and dark, but a few hours before we needed to walk in the parade, the rain stopped, the ground dried off, and the sun came out! It ended up being quite warm, actually. So it was a wonderful day for a parade! December loved being in the pre-parade...she got to ride in a red wagon. At one point, December and Emilia were both in the wagon together, wearing their matching little dresses, and they were soo adorable! They got lots of stares and pictures taken of themselves. They looked like little twins riding in the wagon together. Hopefully Mom has a picture of that -- we were far away from Brad and the camera at that point. I'll tell you more about the fun day when I get some pictures up.

Let's Go Outside!

December is playing in our backyard in these pictures -- they were taken yesterday. She is helping me clean up the yard so that it looks nice for the house showings. We had one yesterday, and we have another one tonight. We've had about 5 showings in the last three weeks, but no bites yet. We'll keep waiting!
