Cami had a fabulous first Christmas. It seemed to wear her out in a serious way, but that could also just have something to do with the little (as in gaining a pound over the course of a few days...) growth spurt she's been having. I think she enjoyed having Mommy AND Daddy home for four days too!
Her first big outing was to her Great Granny's house for Christmas Eve where she got to meet and "play" (sleep in people's arms) with everyone. She did great and everyone kept marveling at how she wasn't making a peep. I tried to stay ahead of her hunger and watched for the slightest bit of hand chewing to get a bottle ready for her to eat....maybe I should have let everyone hear her if that bottle doesn't come fast enough for her wishes. :)
Christmas morning we woke up (ahem, were awoken) early and Cami "opened" her presents from Mommy and Daddy and from Grandma and Grandpa. She slept through the entire thing, but we're confident that she'll enjoy the presents at some point....
After our first Christmas morning as a family, we fed Cami (full baby = happy baby), dressed her in her Christmas best, and loaded her and her 8,000 required items for travel into the truck to head to Gigi's and Papa D's. She once again did a great job hanging out during Christmas dinner and present opening time, and even got in about 20 minutes of tummy time on her brand new baby sized Auburn blanket. We had a great afternoon, and she was only a little cranky when we got home past her normal bedtime.
Um, ignore my hair in that last picture...
Yesterday she was still exhausted from all her adventures and slept her way through most of the morning. But, around 2 or so she woke up and played most of the afternoon (stared at the ceiling?). She got to Skype with her cousins, and hear her sweet cousin Hallie say "Love you Cami!" Ella, Hallie, and Cami get to meet in April and it is going to be some amazing craziness at our house for that week!
On a side note, even though I'm so excited as she grows and can do more and more, I was a little sad to retire ALL her newborn onesies over the weekend. She is fully into her 3 month clothes (her 0-3s are still okay since they were bigger than the NB ones) and I was also a little teary to put away her "My 1st Christmas" clothes. Do they make My 1st New Year's/Valentine's Day/St. Patrick's Day clothes? Probably not. :)
