A month ago...

Hello there! Can you believe it's almost been a month?!?! To be technical: 4 weeks tomorrow and a "full month" on December 19. Abbie has put herself into a nice routine, and seems to know the difference between day and night time sleep.

She continues to grow on a daily basis. She has outgrown her newborn diapers and will soon outgrow a large majority of her newborn clothes. She now has very distinct cries which makes their meaning very obvious. She has started taking from a bottle a few times a day which has allowed Daddy to help out with feeding. Her extremities become more active every day and she has even begun to "coo." Smiles are still few and far between, but they happen nonetheless. It's the little things which keep us motivated.

Lindsay is doing remarkably well. She still has 2 months off from work. 3 months sounds like a long time when you're working every day. Lindsay is starting to wish 3 months was a little longer though. Christmas parties at the Magic Kingdom wrap up this week which means my current temporary assignment will be wrapping up as well. Although I will continue to be employed in some form or fashion it remains to be seen where it will be. More news on this as it develops.

We did get extremely lucky this year and score both Thanksgiving week and Christmas week off from work. So next week we will be packing up the Element and heading to Mississippi to visit with family.

I hope everyone's Holidays are going well and not proving too stressful. Enjoy the pictures. Merry Christmas!
