Christmas 2011

Santa was awfully good to us this year!


Ian was very excited about each of his gifts as he opened them.


We took a break from opening presents to put together a puzzle.


Santa even brought Ian (and everyone else) a cupcake!

They do look a lot alike, I think.


Merry Christmas!

A Visit with Santa

Tonight Santa stopped by the Frugality Ct Christmas party to check up on all the boys and girls to make sure they were being nice instead of naughty. Santa brought a present for Ian, but he was too distracted by his delicious cookie. When Santa asked Ian what he wanted for Christmas, Ian said "a cupcake!"



Mia got a present from Santa too, but she was too sleepy to notice.


Mommy was hoping for a present from Santa too, but no luck.


Then Mia and Santa took a little nap.

More Christmas Fun

Ian loves to hang (and re-hang) the ornaments on the Christmas tree.




This evening we got all bundled up and walked to the main street to see Santa drive by on the firetruck.

1 Month Old

Mia is 1 month old today! She had a checkup with the doctor yesterday and is growing great - she now weighs 7lbs12oz and measures 20.5 inches. Her newborn clothes are starting to get a little snug, so I'd bet we only have another week or two before she'll move up to the next size.



At one month, Mia:
- wears newborn and 0-3 sized clothes.
- eats 4oz of formula every 3-4 hours.
- sleeps most of the day, with longer awake periods in the morning and evening.
- likes to be out and about, and falls asleep almost immediately in the car.
- prefers to sleep snuggled up on someone - it's amazing how quickly she wakes up when put down.
