3 month photos

Time flies

We're still here and kicking! November flew by...obviously so quickly I didn't remember to tell you about it. We have had a great 5 weeks. Here are some of the highlights:

• Amelia laughs! Well, I've only heard it once, but her teachers at daycare say she has been laughing at and interacting with the other children. Jon and I spend lots of time trying to coax one out at home, but I guess we aren't as funny as a 9 month old!
• More sleep...then less sleep... Amelia had started sleeping really well - sometimes 5 or 6 hours straight. Right before Thanksgiving, she started waking up again throughout the night. I hear this isn't uncommon, but it has certainly made getting up for work more challenging. I hope we're reversing the pattern - last night she slept from 10:00 to 5:00!
• 3 month photos...coming soon!
• Thanksgiving: What a great first holiday for Amelia! We had A LOT of family time...I don't think you can have too much family time, although Amelia may disagree :) Her recovery time on Sunday was pretty rough. I think it was all a little overwhelming for her...so much to do, so many hugs to give, so many people to see...and so little time. It's a learning process for all of us and we'll just have to adjust as we go along.
• Pictures with Santa! We were in Springfield last weekend and Amelia met Santa for the first time at Drury's Breakfast with Santa. She did great all morning and was very patient, considering we were in the last group to get pictures done. Never fails...we are the next people in line and she starts to get fussy. But I'm impressed she lasted as long as she did! I'm still waiting for the pictures to come back, but will post soon.

We're looking forward to a great December, packed full of events, friends and family and holiday celebrations!
