Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas and it was so much fun celebrating Lily's first Christmas. She spent the whole day in her Christmas pj's and loved all her presents.  Santa brought her a princess coupe car and even though she is still small for it she loved it. Our living room is still messy from all her toys.  She even let people hold her and that is a Christmas miracle since she prefers to be held by mommy all the time.  We can't wait for all the Christmas's to come.

4 Months old

Miss Lily turned 4 months on Dec 6th! This is a great age she is laughing and playing all the time.  Her new thing for 4 months is that she tries to put her foot in her mouth....it's hilarious and she even does it while she's supposed to be sleeping at night, we can hear her from our room as she slams her feet down on the mattress. She's trying to sit up on her own, great at rolling over and loves blowing bubbles with her mouth.  I have a feeling she is going to be crawling soon and exploring everything she can.  She did great at her 4 month checkup she is 26 inches long and weighs 14 lbs she is long and skinny just like her Uncle Derin. She loves her toys and we can't go anywhere without them.   She loves our mommy group and loves smiling at all the other babies.  She is such a delight and were loving the holidays with her.  

Christmas Tree Farm

We just got back from our annual trip to Little Bear Christmas tree farm to cut down our Christmas tree Griswald style.  Mike and I usually hike all over the woods to find the perfect Christmas tree but this year Mike had to make the hike alone while Lily and I stayed at the little cabin drinking hot chocloate and talking with Santa.  We had a huge group with us and we had a great time and Mike found the perfect Christams tree for Lily's first Christmas.  Lily even sat on Santa's lap and to my surprise did not cry. It felt like midwestern Christmas because of all the snow on the ground. We had a great time and can't wait to decorate our first tree as a family.
