Dec 13-19 (Senja 4 mo)

Senja celebrated her 4 month birthday this week on December 15th.  Her latest trick is laughing.  So far, Justin is the expert at getting the best chuckles out of her. At her 4 month doctors appointmentment she weighed in at 16 lbs and is 27 inches long.  In this photo her face is looking especially round -- as you can tell, she seems to be storing much of her weight in her cheeks!

We spent our week getting into the spirit of the season by baking lots of Christmas cookies.  Stacey was glad she didn't splurge on the fancy decorations when she turned around to find her little blond elf experimenting with the law of gravity and pouring the entire contents of the red sugar crystals on the kitchen floor.  Senja watched in quiet amazemet at how many crystals are in one small container. 

Look closely and you'll see Lyle the sheep snacking on a clementine while Cadel works the mixer.

Senja practices for her spot in our Christmas photo.
