Santa!

Mike took Sterling to see Santa and get her picture taken. She wasn't thrilled initially, but it worked out ok.

Real crawling

In the past couple of days, Sterling has started doing authentic, belly-off-the-ground crawling nearly all the time. She's actually quite a bit slower crawling this way than she was doing the military crawl.

Christmas Revels

Every year, Mike works on the Christmas Revels. This year, he had a small helper.

She can read!

Well, not quite. But she's learned to turn pages in the book. It's awesome. She will grab the page of a board book and turn it in the right direction. She requires a little assistance (she has trouble getting a hold of just one page and will often just turn to the end of the book), but this is really the first grown-up thing that she's learned to do. I'm very proud.

She is also getting into feeling the books that have textures on the pages.
