Hanging out with mom!

 First time she decided the tree should be on the floor with her. The branch managed to scratch her face as it was falling.....she didn't pull the tree down again!

 Daddy and Danika had a long day!

 Happy birthday Danny! Danika and I made you a special birthday dinner! Potatoe crusted salmon, mashed potatoes and asparagus! Mmmmmm

 Danika loves the tree!

 

 Daddy is going around the house making it look Christmasy for us!!! :) Garland, lights, stockings! :)

 

 

 She must miss her bathtub! She crawls in it a lot! She is now to big for it so she takes baths in mommy and daddy's tub with bubbles and lots of toys! :)

 

 Danika has learned to crawl up the stairs! We kept meaning to get around to buying a baby gate. Jason came over with a baby gate that his parents got us!!!! Hooray!!!! Thank you Jason's awesome parents!!! Danny and Jason are setting it up with a little help from Danika! She always has to be in the action!

 

 Baby gate all finished!!! :)

 We really wanted a "real" Christmas tree in the house! Grand-dad came with us to pick one out! Danika wasn't all that interested in picking out a tree but she liked pulling on the branches and trying to put them in her mouth!

 

 Tada!!!! Tree all finished! I think we have a total of 3 Christmas trees in the house now!

 

Look who came to see Danika!!!! It's santa!!! She must have made it to the "good" list!

 

My grocery shopping buddy!!!!

 

Danika attempted to take her first step on Christmas Eve! Since then, I've been trying to get it on video! Below are a few videos of her attempting to let go and take a step! :)
