Today, along with celebrating the birth of Jesus, we’re celebrating 3 months with Clara!
She is starting to babble and coo a bit, she sucks on her hands, and smiles ALL the time. I think she even tried to laugh the other day, but no sound came out 🙂
I’m thankful she is still sleeping very well at night, and that I have really been able to enjoy her (even as a tiny baby which isn’t always my favorite stage).
She loves it when I hold her… and I love holding her (most of the time) so we make a good team!
I hope you enjoy your Christmas — whatever you’re doing (or not doing) today.
As I’ve done for many, many years, I’m taking off the week between Christmas and New Years to enjoy a few lazy days at home with Dave and the kids. We have a Christmas party today with my family, and one next weekend with Dave’s family — and that’s it!
We’ll hopefully have plenty of time for lounging around, watching movies, reading books, going to bed early, and eating way too much sugar!
Merry Christmas… I’ll see you back here NEXT YEAR!!

You do not look like you had a baby 3 months ago….or 3 other kids for that matter! You look great! Our little guy is about 3 months. Finally feel like we’re coming out if the fog. I miss a set bedtime! Merry Christmas!
Marsha says
Merry Christmas. May God richly bless you family. Have a great week of down time.
Andrea says
Thanks Marsha — we’ll hopefully catch up on some sleep this week!

Merry Christmas to your precious family!!! We’re with my husband’s family today…in the course of our conversations I referred twice to your blog!! 🙂 I looked up legacy box for my mother in law and noticed they’re having a huge sale…i think 50% off!! Also my sil was talking about needing a new deck so I showed her the pics of your trex deck….are you still pleased with how it’s holding up?
Andrea says
wow — how cool! And thanks for letting me know about the Legacy Box sale — I’ll have to look into that!
And yes, we still really like our Trex deck. If it gets dirty or “moldy” at all, we just spray it off with a hose and it looks brand new. Not to mention we will never have to re-paint or stain it ever again!

Isn’t it the cutest little pout ever!

we often hear that Clara looks like Simon and James looks like Nora! We’ll see if this continues as they grow!
