Merry, Merry!

I can't believe Christmas is just a few days away - are you feeling the same way? I thought it was just us since we've been in la-la land with our little one but I feel like I've also heard the same sentiment from friends! Our month in a nut-shell has been very relaxing and fun. Lots of time with family, visits with friends, and we've even squeezed in a few dates (thanks Mom and Auntie!).

Madelyn is growing like a champ and sleeping SO well. With the exception of a few days ago when she barely slept and cried most of the day, she's consistently sleeping at least 6, sometimes 7 or 8 (yes, 8!) hours at night :) We are SO lucky to be getting good sleep from so early on... I think she takes after her momma, who loves her sleep and has no trouble sleeping anywhere or anytime. Now I guess the challenge will be to make this a consistent routine because I sure could get used to this!! HA! Madelyn loves to be bounced, she loves to watch TV, and seems to also enjoy tummy time. She especially likes being told she's a "pretty girl" that always makes her smile :) We went to the Dr. yesterday because she's really gasey and it makes her pretty uncomfortable. We've switched up her formula yet again and we've started to give her a special gas-relief drop to help with the discomfort... hopefully it helps. Not to worry though, she's doing just fine - at just 7 weeks old, our "little" munchkin is already 12 lbs! We checked yesterday and I was 9lbs at birth, at my 2 month appointment, I was 11lbs 4 oz, so M is tracking quite a bit bigger! Wonder how much weight she will gain in the next week before her appointment :)

We're very excited for Madelyn's first Christmas and celebrating all of our traditions with her! We'll be spending Christmas Eve and Christmas day in New Canaan with my family and then celebrating again with the Krippene/Kurre/Lenkaitis family with what we call our TK Christmas on 12/30 - we can't wait! Speakinbg of Christmas, while Madelyn is napping I probably should take advantage of the time and get wrapping! Wishing you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful time together!
