Stella's Christmas - 2001

I went to the Doctor on the Saturday before Christmas. Turns out, I had a fever because of a urinary tract infection. After a needle-stick, a blood-draw, a catheter insertion and an antibiotic injection, I just wasn't myself for the rest of the day. Tired, too!
By Christmas Eve Morning, I was feeling much better.
I asked for cloth books, and I got plenty! After being held ALL DAY on Christmas Eve, towards the end of the evening I just wanted to hang out by myself.
Christmas Morning: while Suzie unwrapped presents and Daddy took lots of photos, I mostly played with old toys. I'm told I got some cool stuff. I'm sure I'll be getting to know them.
The light was good, and I was in a good mood. What can I say?
I say "YIPPEE", that's what I say! (although, so far, it comes out more like "a bah bah bah bah BAH BAH ba bahh"...)
Christmas day at the Ranheim's. Here, their youngest son, Bjorn, carries me around for a while. I was a big hit! (They liked the slippers that I got from Aunt Solveig & Uncle Peter, too. Something about that maple leaf, I guess)
