G's 2009 Christmas Presents

Due to the arrival of Baby T, we've had to forgo the traditional open-all-your-gifts-on-Christmas-Day tradition for something more akin to "12 Days of Christmas." On Christmas Day, her paternal grandparents gave her a little drum toy:

Plus a music box playing "Swan Lake":

We got her a gift from the baby, so G could have a baby of her own to hold. G named it "Baby U-bu." Note the doll's Asian hair color! G has been feeding her milk with a spare sippy cup. The funny thing is that G has tried to feed Baby T with that same sippy cup.

A few days later G woke up in her Christmas pajamas to find a new toy kitchen set, complete with stove, oven, and what she calls the "fridge." She loves it, but it took staying up many hours to put together.

She then got a Penguin backpack from Grandma and Grandpa Chan. She always wants me to put it on her; we think she can start carrying her own stuff. :)

Next, G got a Winnie the Pooh lights-and-sound airplane, which she loved, but much to our chagrin and dismay -- it's similar to her other already-very-noisy airplane. However, unlike the other one, this one doesn't make yucky clackety noises and also has a shape sorter, so at least it's educational.

This next one is a wooden clock-themed shape sorter, which G loves and has been playing non-stop today. Not only can she find and put all the shapes down correctly by herself, but she has been stacking the blocks - as high as 9 - something I haven't seen her do with her many other blocks.

Of course, we think that the best Christmas present she got is her little brother. :)
