Helloooooo Everybody! We are jumping up and down with excitement over our trip up to Michigan in another week. Christmas is going to be a hoot this year folks. Todd loves boxes, paper, and everyone else's stuff so it should be a pretty funny experience for all - except the other kids - they might not enjoy Todd trying to open all of their presents (I guess we'll just have to distract him with a cookie or two - or five - he's quite an eater...). We're trying hard not to think of him as a gorilla, but with appearance and manner it's just too hard not to - and bananas being his favorite food...well! You get the idea.
He is growing and growing - right out of his 12 month clothes and right into a forward facing seat. When he and claire sit on the floor together they look like playmates and not big sister, baby brother. They're practically the same height sitting down! I'm probably exaggerating though - Claire is quite tall.
I included some pictures (finally!) from Thanksgiving. The first picture is of Todd from last night. Love to you all! See you soon! Love, Erika
