26 Weeks!

Dear Jorie,

It's been another busy week for us baby girl! You started eating Carrots, which I think you still are not a big fan of, and Apples, which you absolutely love. You continue to move around with more purpose, rolling to get to something you want, grasping things easily and you're working on getting yourself up into a sitting position.

Last friday we went to a craft show at the Community Space, so you got to see Lisa and Ezra again! Everyone loved you, as usual, and you were an absolute darling while we were there.

You've had some rough nights lately baby girl, getting really fussy around 6 or 7 at night, but for the most part, you're still sleeping through the night (although you do wake up around 6:30, which is a tad early for my taste!)

We started putting you to sleep in the crib this week, which was a big move for me and your father. You didn't seem to care that much! We also got the baby monitor set up, so we can put you to sleep at a consistent time, even if me and your father are not quite ready for sleep.

On Saturday we went with your Grandparents and got them a Christmas tree and decided to get us a small one. We got a very small tree, it's maybe four feet tall. You were very well behaved (and very cute in your Santa hat) but you seemed unimpressed by the trip. Our tree is up now in our bedroom, but not decorated. The next step is to get some lights and maybe some ornaments on it. Maybe you'll be a bit more impressed with it then!

You've also been playing a lot of Peekaboo with us lately! You'll pull your blanket up to cover your face and hold it there until we say "Where's Jorie?" then you'll pull it down and laugh as we say "There she is!"

I love you so much Jorie Bear. These days are going by so fast!
