Christmas Craziness!!!

With Christmas coming things seem to be getting crazy around here. I can't believe that we managed to make cookies, that I have wrapped a portion of the gifts, and that I got my Christmas cards out in time! Pretty amazing considering that I feel like I don't have enough hours in my day. I seem to have forgotten how much time a newborn takes, guess you tend to forget things that happened 5+ years ago.

Emmi seems to have somewhat of a routine, but may have her nights and days mixed up since she tends to sleep about an hour longer during the day than she does at night. She also lost her umbilical cord stump this past Saturday, so when I get a free moment, she can have her first bath. Not exactly sure when that will be, probably after the holidays.

Nikki is really excited about Christmas and helping Emmi open her Christmas presents. Tomorrow is her Christmas party at School. I wish I could be there for it, but I am not ready to leave Emmi with anyone just yet.

This week I am including some snapshots of Emmi awake, which tend to be hard to get and one of her holding up her head, which she could do the day she was born. Crazy but true! Emmi doesn't soothe easily, crying when she is hungry, when she needs to be changed, when her clothes are changed, etc... so obviously it makes taking pictures difficult. I am also posting pictures of Nikki decorating cookies and cuddling with her sister. She can't get enough of me taking pictures of her and her sister. So glad that the bond runs deep!
