Lately if we don't get Mallory down for a nap by 12:30, no later then 1...then the nap doesn't happen. We did get her down by 12:30 today however she coughed so much she threw up 3 times so needless to say she didn't get a nap. Tonight I was in the other room for a couple of minutes and came back to find her like this...
Maybe she has been watching Snow White a little too much:)
Barb got us this awesome tummy-time mat for Chloe for Christmas. She really does like it. Look how tiny she is. She'll stay on there for about 10 minutes then she lets us know she is done.
Cute picture of Chloe. Her eyebrows look a little greasy because she has some dry skin there. The dr. told us to put Vaseline on the dry parts. So she doesn't have an overly active T-zone:)
Chloe is starting to stay awake between feedings more. She is also smiling...I haven't been able to capture it on camera yet but I will one of these days. She loves to smile and coo while she is laying on her changing pad. I was singing campfire songs to her tonight and she was just cooing along w/ the tune...she should know them, she heard them every night for 9 mo in my belly.
Mallory got a dr kit for Christmas...she's making sure Chloe's breath sounds are good.
Last year for Xmas we got the game of LIFE...this year we decided to open it. We had a blast playing
It's become a Christmas tradition to have mimosas on Christmas morning...this year Mallory wanted to partake:) Just kidding she is only having orange juice. She thought she was pretty hot stuff drinking out of a special glass like all the big kids.
Mal and Chloe having some tummy time
Uncle Paul letting Mallory paint his thumbs. She didn't do too bad...lets just say his whole thumb turned a different color.
Uncle Paul was her playmate for the day. He helped her get all of her new toys out...Thanks Uncle Paul.

A couple of Friday's ago we headed down to the Plaza Library for a free concert. Mallory had a good time and the new library is AWESOME...check it out sometime if you haven't yet. Mal and dad enjoying the show
Before we went to the show we stopped by the Ladwig's...they are my old neighbors from when I used to live by the Plaza.
Mal and Chloe
Jonathan (doing the bunny ears), Mallory, Andrew and Chloe
Jonathan holding Chloe. It was great to see the boys. I can't believe it's been 3 years since I saw them last (not including our wedding...but I didn't get to talk to them much then). They have grown so much. It was great catching up and I hope they got everything they wanted from Santa.
Funny face Chloe
Daddy and Chloe getting some quality bonding time in...for the record Josh is not always sleeping. I know I post a lot of those pictures...they are just to cute not to post. Josh is a great daddy and hubby. He has really helped out a lot w/ Chloe and keeping Mallory occupied while I'm nursing Chloe. Thanks Daddy:) We love you very much
Sometimes Mal likes to get in the shower w/ me and play. So after I am done and have gotten her all washed up I let her play for about 10 minutes or so. She loves her showers...but not as much as she loves bathes w/ bubbles. She'd probably stay in the shower until the hot water ran out if she could.
So that is our Christmas in a nutshell. We had a great time w/ family and missed those that weren't w/ us. Mallory is enjoying all the presents she got and also all the presents Chloe got. Nana Santa (Josh's mom) got Mallory an awesome play kitchen (which was very frustrating to put together, Josh would tell you...I got a few giggles out of it listen to him getting really angry). I will post pictures of it soon. Hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday.
