in the church pew
After church we attended a Christmas Eve party. Lainey is being airlifted onto Santa's lap.
checking him out...
still captivated by Santa...
This little 8-month-old weighs around 22 pounds (thanks to CareNow's scale). She is crawling and eating only table food...and baby oatmeal. She refuses to eat baby food, but still loves, loves, loves her bottle. Occasionally she puts her own pacifier in her mouth, but we're still working on her consistency. She'll pull up on things every once in a while, but unfortunately, she always chooses things in bad places (i.e. the tub with the hard tile floor underneath).
After the Christmas Eve party we went to Aunt Tisha and Uncle Greg's house to eat our traditional Mexican feast. It was fabulous, but Lainey started to melt down towards the end so we had to leave before everyone else.
Here is a picture of our tree.
We opened presents at our house Christmas morning, and then we headed to Bud and Yiyia's to celebrate with cousins, aunts and uncles, and great grandparents. We missed my parents this year; they are dealing wtih a ton of snow in Colorado. We miss you guys! You too, Uncle Matt. :)
totally more interested in the paper than the presents
Yiyia attempting to pass out gifts to some very eager kids.
Lainey fell asleep on Bud's lap after opening presents. This picture was taken through the window becuase I didn't want to open the door and awaken her! She's surprisingly grown to enjoy napping on people. She never used to... but over the past month or so she has really become a snuggler (only when she's sleepy). Sadly, this baby barely naps. She generally sleeps about a total of two or two in a half hours a day, divided into two naps. Her bedtime is a pretty firm 7 or 7:15, and she generally awakens around 6 in the morning. And no, she doesn't sleep for 11 hours straight. She usually awakens a couple of times for a pacifier plugging.
Yiyia and her three kids - Greg, Ben, and Allyson (and one granddaughter who thought the flash was too much)

Thank you for a fabulous lunch today, Aunt Nancy and Uncle Dan. And thanks to everyone for a special Christmas. It is one we are sure to remember. :) We feel very, very blessed - in so many, many ways. AND, speaking of Christmas blessings, our little neighbor Keegan was released from the hospital on Dec. 23rd. He is home now, but things are still a bit challenging for his parents who are trying to manage him, his medicine, his tubing, the paperwork, everything. I hope to post some pictures this week of the little man at home. Happy New Year to everyone, and thanks for checking in on our little one! We hope you are enjoying your holidays! :)
