Holiday Season!

She has the "what cha gonna bring me?" look...cute! Thanks to my mom, we have our first xmas tree in Nashville. It's a small, fake one on a table with white lights and perfect size for the ornaments we have at the moment. But we will continue to collect them, especially for Marlee. We are usually gone much of Dec and don't bother with a tree, but we knew we really wanted to get one once we started having kids...hope to have a real one next year!

We've been traveling a good bit, and Marlee is doing fairly well, even though her schedule has been slightly off this week. Most nights she hasn't been down for the count until near midnight, but is still sleeping close to 6 hrs or so once asleep. She's now taking more naps per day, and until today they were mostly exactly 30mins long, but she's asleep right now for her second nap for over 1 1/2 hrs...earlier she was in bed for 2 hrs, even though she woke up a few times, she kept falling back asleep. I hope she's not getting sick. I'm worried because she's been having diarrhea too (once last night and once today, so far), but she doesn't seem to feel bad otherwise...she's not eating as much since she's sleeping more...so we'll see.

Her 4 month check up/well visit is coming soon...might push it to after the new year if we can. It's so exciting that we'll have our first Christmas as a family! She is getting so fun! Her coordination is getting better and she's getting even more in her mouth! She's so close to rolling over and loves to be assisted to sit up...gets the biggest grin on her face! Her "talking" is so cute and she's even "taking turns" to have a conversation. Now she is too big for her 0-3 month clothing and is in 3-6month size and still size 2 diapers. She'll be eating people food before you know it!

Bebe and Gramps are supposed to come this weekend, but Larry is sick, so it might just be Beth. Next week we have a playdate with Wolf and Reed. Mommy gets a dinner night with the girls, and then Sunday we are going to hang out with Bekah and Mike, Lee, Leah and Sarah at Kari's new home...excited! This is always such a busy time of year!
