The twelve Alices of Christmas

1. A good little girl.

2. Exuberantly goofy.

3. As tall as the Christmas tree!

4. Adoring her daddy.

5. Crying with Mama.

6. A little dancing is always fun . . .

7. Smart (and she knows it)! (I see a future Hermione Granger in the works)

8. Cooing! Gurgling! (and on her way to laughter)

9. Taking after her mama with the whole squinty-eyed smile thing.

10. Concerned about the state of the world (i.e. a world that involves more than eating, as she’s been discovering to her chagrin and surprise)

11. Sleepy! (considering the state of the world tends to quickly make one drowsy)

12. Too cool for school.

Alice and her dad

As of yesterday, our little one is 1 month old. At this exact moment, she’s in her dad’s arms bopping her whole upper body around to a Sufjan Stevens Christmas CD. She’s moving her little head back and forth with a wild energy (and completely new and unexpected neck control–we’re in disbelief), with plentiful “ah”-ing and grunting and cooing.

We’re on the couch just laughing. She is the most lovable, the fuzziest, and the funniest little human we’ve ever seen.

And in the course of writing this short post, my little girl is now ravenous. One bosom, coming up . . .
