Our Christmas turned out differently than planned; Lilly woke up with a nasty cold and so we had to cancel our plans with our friends. After shoveling and blowing snow all morning, Leighton took a bath with Lilly after lunch, which helped relieve some of her congestion. Then we kept her entertained for a while opening presents. And then we had some of the yummy meat balls and garlic mashed potatoes our friends had brought us (thank you!). With her congestion and not feeling well, Lilly's not been able to sleep well, neither during the day nor at night. She gets her best rest at night propped on my arm, snuggled up close to me.
Christmas day we played with Lilly's new toys (books, dvds, frosty, train set, puzzle, clothes, and more), went for a walk (in the wet snow/rain) so Lilly could get some rest in the stroller. That night she finally fell asleep in my arms while we were watching a movie (she would not go down any earlier.) Second day of Christmas we headed up to the mall (so Lilly could get some rest in the car...). Today she was finally able to nap in our bed again, for a good hour and a half. But it was still a long day... With all its precious moments too, of course. It's just hard seeing our girl so sick and tired, and now Leighton's gotten down with the cold too.
