Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I hope you all had a wonderful time with family and friends!

Ma Ma Ma...

Yesterday we found out that Gabi can say Ma ma! It is SO cute...She mimics it back to you and now she is saying it all the time. That and sometimes Ba ba, we call her bottle her ba ba. So cute!

Gabi's first trip to the Zoo

Our ward's mom's group went to the Zoo today! It was Gabi's first time to see all the animals. She seemed to have a good time and was really talkative.

Gabi and the Grinch

It was a tradition of Jack's family to take a picture with Santa. We never had that tradition so we compromised by getting Gabi a pic with the Grinch!

My life as a mom...

So it has been a little over a week since I have been a full time mom. Intersting I must say. It feels like I have just called in sick for a week, and that I will be going back to work any day now. (crazy I know..)

Gabi has become very attached, I think she feels I am going to leave her for a few hours like I used to do so I could go to work. Hopefully she will settle down. The other day I found that Tellytubbies were on TV. Gabi was fussy and so I put her in her swing to watch. She loved it. She almost watched the entire show. I was pretty shocked. Which brings me to this question. How much TV is too much TV for a kid?

In our house it seems like the TV is on ALL THE TIME. Especially when we are home. It is a constant background noise. I don't like that and would like it on only when we have shows that we want to watch. I would rather have music playing or a book on tape. Jack says that he needs to have the TV on when he gets home to relax and he likes to watch right before he goes to sleep. (That is a post for another day though)

What are your views on TV and kids or just TV in general?
