Our first Christmas!

Well, we made it through our first Christmas with little Elizabeth!  She was such a joy on Christmas morning.  Elizabeth has really gotten into cooing and "talking" to us.  It is so cute and on Christmas morning she was just a ball full of fun.  Elizabeth received lots of presents from all her family and should be set until her first birthday!  We were all exhausted after running around to all the different Christmas' but everyone got to see her and we definitely ate good!  Now it is diet time!

Here are a few things Miss Elizabeth does right before she turns three months next week:
  • she just started drinking 4oz... but still is a little stubborn sometimes.  When she is done, she is done!
  • hates to be held too much (this was hard for people to understand over Christmas because everyone wanted to hold her).  Put her on the floor or bed and she is happy as can be!
  • she also when you are holding her, she wants to face everyone... she is a nosy rosy!
  • loves to listen to music and look at bright lights of her toys (if she starts crying in the truck, we just turn the music up and she quits crying... it is quite amazing!)
  • she was up to 10lbs 14oz about a week and half ago when I took her to doctor... getting so big!
  • it wont be long before she is rolling over... she will kick over and end up on her side but she has not gotten into finishing up the roll.
  • she is a necklace grabber.  Tell me how she knows at three months, but she does and she will grab it everytime she sees it!
Everyone told us to make sure and cherish it because they grow up fast and until she came along we didn't really understand that statement.  We can't believe she has been in our life for three whole months already.  She has gotten so big and grows like a weed. Seems just like yesterday Greg and I were walking down the isle!

Here are a few pics from Christmas morning (except for the first two):

This was the first meeting with Santa... she was smiling at him but we didn't catch it on camera...

This was at Greg's work and she was too busy looking at everyone else.  It is funny how Santa doesn't know how to hold a baby... both times!


The greatest gift of all...


Laying on her new quilt from Grandma B.  She will get lots of use from it since she thinks she has to be down all the time!


This is her loot from Christmas morning at my mom's.  These are both gifts from us and my parents and brother.


After a morning bath, she was exhausted from playtime with all her new toys...



Merry Christmas! Love, the Leopolds
