Visit to Ohio

We spent a week in Ohio while Pat was out in Connecticut for a work related trip to Yale and we had an early Christmas with my family. I'm so glad we were able to visit. The kids had fun exchanging presents with one another. Sophia was most interested in the wrapping paper.

Mom, Carrie and I baked cookies together and we had lots of help.

Sophia had a bit of stranger anxiety the first day but soon warmed up to everyone the second day. And she let several people give her bottles and hold her. Sophia learned to clap and got lots of practice in the crawling position. She has taken a few "steps" forward in crawling since we've been home. It won't be long before we're chasing her around ;-)
Hannah soaked up her time with Papa every chance she could!

Here's a cute picture of Kailyn and Carrie -- don't they look alike?
