Happy Holidays!

The weeks are flying by! We have been so busy with Hal's birthday and Hanukkah, and Christmas coming up. Magnolia has been doing all kinds of new things. She got her first tooth a few weeks ago, and is starting to crawl. She started very slowly, but has been picking up speed as of late. We put up a Christmas tree and she is pretty interested in it! She is also loving standing, and in gaining confidence in her abilities to balance. I can't believe all the new things she is doing. One of my favorites is that she will imitate kissing noises. It is so cute! It is so amazing to watch her explore her world as it gets bigger and bigger. Here she is crawling, with Daddy on our tree hunt, teething on a piece of apple, exersaucing, and by the tree.

Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions I get about Magnolia...
1-No, she is not sleeping through the night. She used to sleep all night without waking up. Now she wakes up about every four hours.
2-She is eating pureed fruits and veggies still. She likes everything we have offered her. Her newest favorite it to take a quarter of an apple and scrape it on her new bottom tooth!
3-Cloth diapers are awesome! So much easier than I anticipated.
4-She is happy, fun and calm most of the time. But when she is tired or hungry, or has tender gums... watch out! She will let us know!

We wish all our friends happy holidays!
