12.11.10: Eighteen months old


Stella (purple), Fiona (blue) and Daphne (white) are eighteen months old today. This month the girls starting saying multi syllabic words; Fiona - banana, Daphne - bubble and Stella - yellow. We decided to celebrate their half-birthday with a trip to see santa. Thankfully due to some helpful negotiations from my friend Heather, we were able to skip about 20 places in line for our photo.


Unfortunately, the girls were pretty scared of santa. This picture was our 'best'. If you look closely, you can see that I am pinning Daphne's head forward with my cheek. Brant was also holding up Fiona and preventing Stella from running away. All while santa sits alone. I imagine a video of our photoshoot would have been pretty hilarious. Regardless, we got a picture of the girls with santa, which was our goal. Hopefully next year, santa will be a little less scary.


That evening we adventured to a housewarming/holiday party. Conveniently, the host family has two young kids and a giant driveway. Sidewalk chalk anyone? The girls were totally into it and embraced coloring on the ground without any concern (or interest in eating the chalk).
