It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

These are the holiday cards I made this year online, but didn't buy & send them out snail mail.  I emailed them and posted the card on Facebook for family and friends to see.  Trying to do things on the cheap this year...we are barely doing any gifts unfortunately...but fortunately we are creative enough to do some homemade ones.  Christmas is only a week and a half away, and in just one week Marlee will be 4 months old!  She is growing so fast and doing more and more everyday!  She is getting more coordinated by grabbing, holding, moving around objects.  Everything is going into her mouth, and she's entertaining herself more.  She is still sleeping 5-8hrs through the night and taking naps throughout the day...still usually just 30-45mins at a time.  This is officially day 3 of no swaddling during the day though, just at night.  It is becoming much easier to tell what she wants/needs, and she's letting us rock her to sleep most of the time when she's ready for a nap.  Still not a fan of the paci and is still trying to figure out her thumb (some days she finds it and some she can't).  She's had several diarrhea diapers over the last week, not all but most are...no fever yet but slept a lot on Thursday night/Friday day.  She'll be going for her 4 month check up soon...more shots :( but excited to see how much she's grown!  Bebe (David's mom) came this weekend, his dad was supposed to come too, but he got sick.  It ended up snowing a few inches, so we just hung out at the house, Dave even couldn't get out of the neighborhood for work on Monday.  It's REALLY cold outside still, snow not all melted.  And with our luck it couldn't have happended at a worse time...our downstairs unit went out!  Downstairs has been freezing, but Dave is working on it, if he can't fix it we'll have to call someone.  We'll see!  Busy weekend with friends ahead...hope the weather cooperates!
