Merry Christmas!

I don't send out Christmas cards, so don't be offended if you didn't receive one from us. Maybe next year we'll send out some cute cards with Cassidy's picture.

So for this year, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

3 months

Cassidy made 3 months on thursday! We've been doing tummy time every day, and she's lifting her head and shoulders better each day.

She's also started drooling like crazy over the last couple of weeks. I think we are going to have puddles of drool when teething starts.

On thursday, she rolled from her tummy to her back for the first time! She hasn't done it again since the 3 times in a row that day, but I think it'll only be a short time before she's rolling from back to tummy because she's turned onto her side every night when I check on her. I'm completely dreading this because I know I'll be going in to turn her onto her back several times a night.

Meanwhile, we are completely spoiled. Cassidy's been sleeping through the night for about 3 or 4 weeks now. First she started sleeping from 10pm until around 4, then until 5am. Then it became 10 until 7:30 or even 8:00! If she wakes up to eat at 5, she usually goes back to sleep until 9 or 10, sometimes later. If she sleeps until 7 or 8, she's up for the day. The only bad part of this is that she won't nap much during the day, and then gets cranky in the evening... but I'll take that any day if it means I get to sleep more at night!

I'm feeling really thankful and really blessed these days.

I couldn't be any happier.

November Birthday and Turkey

Mom's birthday was November 19, and she requested a home cooked meal by me. So we had grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu, Vegetable Kabobs, Grilled Pineapple, and brown basmati rice, with brownies for dessert.

We followed dinner with presents...

A beautiful fleur de lis necklace from dad, a massage pillow, shirt, and umbrella from Jeff and I.

Mom and dad went to florida to spend thankgiving with grandma, so Jeff, Cassidy, and I were on our own. Jeff brought home a smoked turkey from work again this year, so we decided to pass on the traditional turkey day dinner. Instead, we had a thanksgiving lunch on Friday, with smoked turkey, oyster dressing and yams from Rouse's, mashed red potatoes with gravy, and green beans.

A huge portion of the turkey went to a giant pot of smoked turkey and white bean chili, and the remainder ended up on salads, in sandwiches, or as turkey salad.

I'm done with turkey until next thanksgiving.
