Ana didn't cry on Santa's lap this year!

She is almost 2.5 years old..these 2 are scanned so they are not the best quality. She is up to 28.5 lbs but still not growing much taller at 35 inches (for awhile). She loves her gymnastics and her parent/toddler Montessori class.

Cathy. She is so cute! I don't remember seeing a picture of Ana--maybe it has just been a long time and my brain has atrophied!! LOL She is a tiny little girl. I think that Sarah is going to be tiny too. She is only 18 1/2 lbs at 17 months. She is eating well and gaining height and weight but not at a rapid rate. Sam, at almost 4 months, weighs 1/2 lbs less than Sarah did when we went to the Embassy Dr. in July!

Have a Merry Christmas and give your little sweetie a hug from me.

What sweet pictures! I am hoping to get Lauren and Daniel on Santa's lap this year. The only year Alec would sit on Santa's lap was when he was 3 monthd old!
