She's doing so great these days-talking, smiling, laughing, sleeping so well. Its so fun! We went home for Christmas and she did great on her first flight. On the way there we played most of the time and she slept on the decent down. On the way back home she slept 1.5 hrs out of the 2 hr flight. She was one tired booger from traveling. She was a champ though! I couldn't have asked for her to do any better!

the most precious duo

We arrived into Nashville the day before Christmas eve and stayed at my dads for 3 nights and then my moms for 3 nights. Christmas Eve day, Libby had some family and friends over for a little sip and see since this was our first time home to Nashville since she has been born. She was loved on tons! Then Christmas Eve night we had her family Christmas party-a tradition for them. Maddie was cute as a button and did so well. We kept her out past her bedtime and she did great. Until...2am! She woke up screaming! Poor thing, she was so overly tired that she couldn't fall back asleep so it was on my chest where she slept for the next 4.5 hrs. At 7am we got up for the day and noticed she had a little cold. So there was that "first." She was just sniffly and congested but conquered through it pretty well. The rest of the time all her naps and bedtimes were as they usually are so I was happy for that--Im a much nicer person when I get sleep too :)

We woke up Christmas morning at my dads and did breakfast/presents over there and then headed to my moms so they could see her and so she could meet Grandpapa and Donna. We had lots of fun! She got such sweet gifts and was such a big girl!

Then our favorite cousins came in from KY! Yeah! Ellie and TyTy were so happy to see/meet Madds. Aunt Mishi was just ready to love on little nuggles. We had a blast! Thanks for coming down! Christmas night was our last night at dads house and we had a big family dinner. I was completely exhausted as I had no sleep the night before (i can usually sleep with her on my chest but it was a rough night). Christmas night was fun and great to be around all the family. We are rarely all together these days.

The next few days were much more low key and much needed. Madds needed to rest! We stayed at moms and took lots of naps and played. She met some life friends and we basically had a live in babysitter for three days. Andrew and I got a date night and we were able to go meet up with some friends one night for drinks. It was great to be home! I love Nashville and it still feels like home!
