December 2004 Archives

Christmas was fun this year, with Chiara getting some new toys (like the Noah's ark from Kent and Karen) that she greatly enjoyed. Of course, the highlight of Christmas day for her was when we went over to a friend's house and she saw some other babies and got to play!

We also visited a playground recently and I realized just how old she's getting. She wanted to try everything and was very disappointed when we finally had to leave.

We celebrated Chiara's first birthday (Nov. 29th) at Abuelo and Abuela's house. Chiara got to try cake! She was a little fussy that night, since she was teething but two days later got her first molar! Then the following day she started walking! She's been hard to keep up with since...

We were with Todd's family for Thanksgiving this year. Chiara had a great time seeing everyone, including Great-Grandma.

More pictures... Chiara has some little friends that she sees regularly. It's good to get out of the house and have fun!

Chiara turned 1 year old on the 29th of November. She got her first molar two days later (finally!) and started walking by herself the day after that. She's been very busy learning new skills!
