Elizabeth with Daddy on Thanksgiving.
Elizabeth with Aunt Holly

Okay so I'm a little slow (or busy, whatever way you want to look at it) and haven't been on for a while to update you all. So here it is. I put up some pictures from Thanksgiving at my Mom and Dad's house. Elizabeth is getting to be a lot of fun. She made me very happy by starting to sleep through the night since about mid November. So she goes to bed between 10 and 11 pm and wakes up for a feeding around 8 am. Then she usually goes back to sleep for a couple of hours. It's nice to not have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed her or change her. She's not much of a napper though, but it's probably because she sleeps so much at night. James and I are just glad she's on a nighttime schedule because it give us time to hang out and enjoy each other's company.
Elizabeth is 3 months old now. She loves to sit up like me and James and isn't much of a tummy person anymore. Although we still put her on her tummy so she'll figure out how to crawl and move around. She likes to watch tv already... I know that's weird. But instead of trying to take her away from it I've used the opportunity to start her on the "Signing Time" dvds. She loves them and will laugh while she's watching them. I think she just thinks the people are all funny talking with their hands, because when I sign to her she laughs at me too.
James hasn't been around much since Thanksgiving. He's working 6 days a week and over 50 hours at this point. So we are both looking forward to Christmas so our lives can go back to normal. I'm getting a lot of help from the stores this year. With church, and Elizabeth I won't have time to go all out for Christmas Eve dinner. But I have plenty of time for that. Elizabeth loves to see her daddy when he is around. We did manage to go and get pictures taken at JCPenney's last Friday, so I was glad James was able to come. We'll be getting those this weekend, and I should be getting them by email also anytime, so when I do I'll post a few of the one's we liked. I plan on going back to work probably the 2nd week of January. I'm just going to work one day a week to keep my discount and get out of the house. Other than that, I'm very happy being at home with Elizabeth.
Elizabeth is in the "talking" phase right now. She makes all kinds of noises and she's funny to listen to. And she's still digging her heals into her matress when she wakes up so she's always at the very top of the crib when I go in to get her in the mornings. The funny thing is that I think she does it now so she can look at the different looney toon characters that are on her bumpers. She also started doing a sad face, which is so cute. I finally managed to get a picture of it after about 30 minutes. Well that's all that's happening here with us. Merry Christmas everyone!
