Christmas 2009

Wow!  I am so far behind.... These past 2 weeks have been a blur around here.  Work has been super busy, Avery has not been sleeping as well which makes for a very tired Momma, and Christmas came and went in a flash!  Let's see... I'll try to do a quick recap of what we have been up to.  We celebrated 5 family Christmas celebrations in 1 week, which was fun, but very tiring.  Avery did great and loved every minute of it.  She loved all the action and time with her family.  Of course, I think she has gotten a little spoiled.  She hasn't had to go to daycare in 2 weeks, and everywhere we have gone there have been family and friends just waiting to hold and love on her.  Her routine has been a little off, plus she's still fighting a stuffy nose and cough, and I'm almost convinced that she is teething... which has meant less sleep for us.  It has almost been like having a newborn again... waking up just about every 3 hours at night.  She is so darn cute, though, so it's hard to get upset about it.  We've just adapted to being a little sleep deprived.  She loves to babble, smile, giggle, and play, especially in the morning.  We are still working on the cereal... she hasn't quite mastered the art of eating yet.  We are transitioning her to her crib at night, which has been nice.  At 4 1/2 months, it's probably about time, don't you think?  I'll write more later, but for now, I'll share some pictures and let them tell the story.  Enjoy!
