The Dreaded First Cold

Hey All!  Happy Friday. We can't believe Christmas is almost here and thinking I should have started shopping earlier than yesterday, oh well!


Last weekend we spent some time at my parents house.  On Sunday we had a family Christmas cookie exchange and celebrated my sister-in-law, Kenlyns' birthday.  Clara helped to icing her cake!


First off, she is loving Christmas.  She loves looking at our tree and staring at the lights.  She loves the tree in her room and the nativity set that Carrie Loszewski made for her (pictured above).  She also loves Christmas music, which means I have been playing a lot of it and poor Rob has been suffering!  Oh well, he loves his girls. She also got from her Aunt Jen a basket of wrapped Christmas books to read every night that started December 1st and goes until Christmas.  Clara loves to unwrap and read them (or maybe I really love that part)!


On Tuesday, Clara and I went to my work meeting/Christmas party.  I will have to see if I can get some pictures from some of my co-workers.  It was good to see everyone. Here is a shot of myself and Clara!


When we got home she was very cranky.  She had come down with her first cold (just running nose and congestion).  The rest of Tuesday was pretty rough as Rob and I did all we could do to comfort a sick baby. Wednesday, was a little better, although she still just wanted to be held all the time.  Thursday she was a little more like her old self, however, her eyes got really gunky/crusty.  Today her eyes are looking better and she is definitely seeming to feel pretty good.  Lets hope we are on the mend.

Also wanted to update you all on our napping success!  Clara is napping in her crib everyday for somewhere between 2.5 - 3 hours.  Yay!
