Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you had a happy and safe holiday! This week went pretty well with the exception of the lack of sleep! Emma still has her days and nights confused so most of our days are spent in a zombie like state. :) We took Emma in for her 2 week checkup which went really well. She's up to 8 pounds even and everything looks good. She's gained about half an inch of height and about half a pound of weight since being born. Her next appointment will be in February for her 2 month checkup and her first set of shots. She definitely has an appetite and is eating quite a bit and quite often.

Christmas this year was a lot of fun. Christmas Eve we had family over and Caitlin seemed to enjoy opening gifts for herself, Emma, Maddie, you name it. :) Christmas morning I got up a little early to setup the camcorder so we could record Caitlin's reaction when she saw her gifts. She seemed a little stunned when she came downstairs and saw what Santa had brought for her. She immediately started playing with her new kitchen set and then spent a good part of the morning sitting in her new wagon opening gifts. She likes spending time with each gift after opening it before opening another so her gift unwrapping took almost 4 hours! She got a lot of nice presents and enjoyed opening presents for Emma as well.

This week Emma also got to meet a lot of her family. Her family from Corpus Christi came out to see her early in the week and then Christmas afternoon her Grampa Andres, Aunt Cuqui, Uncle Fernando and cousins Steven and Lissette. This week will be my last week home before returning to work. It seems like it's gone way too fast!
