First Christmas

Victoria's first Christmas was so wonderful! Papa and Cecie came to visit SC and help celebrate. We had a great time and couldn't have asked for a better Christmas.

Victoria is SO excited about seeing Papa and Cecie and having all the attention!

Dad is looks on as Papa is puts together her push toy.

Victoria loved to tear the paper and then put it in her mouth. (Her top tooth is about to come in!)

Victoria helped Cecie celebrate her birthday at the historic Poinsett Hotel in downtown on Christmas night.

Papa was so sweet to help Victoria walk all around the house - again and again and again.

The push toy was successfully assembled! Victoria hasn't mastered the push toy yet, but she's trying!

The family visited The Biltmore. Victoria took the tour in Dad's backpack while the rest of us walked the huge house. It was gorgeous!

Growing Up!

Victoria is doing great moving around. Not crawling, but she is on the go! She loves to walk with some assistance. She also loves to "sort blocks" aka bang the blocks on the wood cube. And she experienced her second snow (it snowed when she was born) outside our front yard. It was so fun to see her - she kept closing her eyes. And her hair is getting so long that she sported a baby mohawk after her bath :)

Meeting Santa Clause

Victoria is such a good little girl and is at the top of Santa's "Nice List". She met Santa in Greenville as he took a break from the North Pole. She didn't quite know what to make of him, but wasn't scared and didn't cry. What a lady!

She also saw Santa at the Christmas Parade. She was wrapped up like a snug bug and loved seeing the lights and hearing all the marching bands. Victoria is showing off her pearly whites in the picture - two bottom teeth and they are sharp!
