We are gearing up for Matilda's first Christmas. This year we are celebrating in Reno. We will miss our family and friends in England, but we will be there next year. (Hard to imagine that Matilda will be 18 months, Hattie 2, and Hebe will be turning 4!) There are lots of presents under the tree for the little girl and we can't wait to open them tomorrow morning.
Tonight we are having dinner at Grandpapa's house and tomorrow we will gather at Mema and Iron Mike's house. Aunt Karen, Uncle Mike, Joe and Carmen are here from LA to celebrate with us. Uncle Ryan is also here from Iowa. We are looking forward to the festivities.
Omi has booked her ticket and will be with us for 10 days starting on January 16th. We are so excited for her visit! We wish Opa was coming, but maybe next time. Someone has to look after all the furry friends.
Matilda is sitting up unassisted now. She is a bit wobbly and has had some face plants, but her longest stretch is about 4 minutes before toppling over. She is also getting better at rolling onto her tummy, but still has one arm pinned underneath her. It is only a matter of time and then there will be no stopping her. Crawling is next!
She has begun to drool excessively again so I think think one of the top teeth is ready to bust through. Not too fussy with this one yet, but she has traded that in for 5 am wakings for the last few weeks. Don't know which I would choose. Today, however, she did sleep in until 7:00, but only after waking at 11:00 and 3:00. She is very unpredictable, but we love that about her. (I keep having to remind myself of that at the wee hours when I am a total zombie.)
We send lots of love and wish everyone a very merry Christmas!
