Sorry things have been so slow around here! Life has been nuts. Milla was having a hard time, lots of fussing & inconsolable crying. The last 4 days have gone well though, I haven’t had to turn on the vacuum even once to calm her down. Yay!

Just so this update isn’t completely boring, I finally added a new video to the site. It was taken last night on her bedroom floor. She was in the best mood! I even got something resembling a laugh towards the end Go check it out!

On Tuesday, we got the tree for our first Christmas as a family with baby Milla! She slept in her stroller the whole time we were at the nursery, which isn’t surprising since she sleeps almost every single time we take her out somewhere.

She did however wake right up while we were trying to trim the tree, so it ended up being the longest tree decorating in history, spread out over a few hours, haha. The little bean already has quite a few of her own special ornaments! Geoff & I bought her two different “Baby’s First Christmas” ones that we came across & couldn’t resist. My grandma & papa (mom’s parents) sent the special personalized “a star is born” one, and Geoff got her the Rudolph one as a sweet gift from daddy.

Last year, my friend Missy sent me a little pink tree because I’d been aching for one & couldn’t find any. It was the perfect bit of holiday cheer to set up in Milla’s nursery! We added yet another ornament we got for her, and the tree ‘topper’ came from a bouquet of roses our friends Leo & Jeff brought over after she was born. Clever reusage huh?

Milla seems pretty indifferent to it all. She looks at the lights on the main tree, but quickly becomes interested in looking at other things as well. That’s ok though, we’ve already taken plenty of photos & videos from the season that she will love looking back on when she gets older!
