I am already feeling emotional about saying goodbye to 2009. It brought me my long-awaited little girl after 6 losses-she was worth the wait

Hazel is now 9 months old & officially weaned off of the boob! She still does the bottle thing but we are working on sippy cups & real cups.

SHE'S MOBILE! Saw her first 3 crawling steps this morning. Daddy saw it first when I was sleeping in. We are in trouble now. LOVE vacation!

Operation Daytime Sleep Training is going quite well. She is in the middle of her 2nd nap in the crib today. Should have done this earlier!

The Christmas celebrations are officially OVER! Whew...now time to rest and get healthy again. Yeah for vacation until Tuesday, January 5th.

Sniffles, coughs, & cramps-OH MY! Lawrence & I are losing our voices over coughing. It is a squeaky, medicated, mellow household right now.

OK just tried to put her down for a nap in her crib for the first time at home (usually she naps on me or in the swing)-found her pulling up

2 Christmases down and one to go. I am burnt! Tomorrow is recharge day! :)

Looking forward to taking Hazel on her first Amtrak ride on Tuesday morning. I think she will love it!

Ahhh, my last working day of 2009 is coming to a close. 2009 was a great year! I can only hope that 2010 is just as good or even better!

Now daddy's turn for the stuffiness. Hazel is almost done with it & I am feeling a little better each day. It will have run its course soon.

Now mommy has babies sniffles. It was bound to happen!

Great day to stay inside and play with a slightly sick baby!

Poor little girl has her second runny nose. I knew it was coming because last night she sneezed about 10 times in an hour. Ahhhh childcare!

What a great Sunday! Spent the day with Cass and the girls. Everyone napped and Cass got a writing break. A total win-win!

I think I have been starving my little girl in the AM-I gave her a bottle this morning first thing & she slammed 5+ ounces like nothing-OOPS
