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!

Milla is 3 weeks old today, holy cow! Time is flying This past week she celebrated her first Thanksgiving. Geoff & I watched the Macy’s Parade in bed while cuddling with the little bean, and then we had a big get together with my dad’s side of the family.

She slept most of the time, except for right when I was going to eat my stuffing & yams. She of course chose that time to start fussing to be fed. So I didn’t have much of a Thanksgiving feast, but these are the sacrifices that must be made as a mommy!

I was so preoccupied the whole time, I didn’t even get a good shot of Milla’s cute little outfit, bleh! She got passed around a lot since most people hadn’t seen her since the hospital, if even at all. Everyone fell in love with her of course!

Also this week, we were gifted a couple of Target giftcards, yippee! My favorite store in the world. Today we went to the new super duper one nearby us, with the big grocery section. The store was so nice! We stocked up on diapers & wipes, and also found quite a few newborn outfits. For some reason, that has been way harder than expected, we completely struck out when looking at Kohls & Babies R Us! Since Miss Milla pees/poops/spits up on her clothes on a near-daily basis, we definitely needed to buy some more!
