Santa is coming tomorrow. As is a huge snowstorm.
So I may be absent for a while.
So I may be absent for a while.
Or…if I’m snowbound, there may be a ridiculous number of posts.
Only time will tell.
In the meantime, happy holidays.

A snowstorm and a holiday.

You’re all screwed.
Momma got a new camera.
Abby’s not amused.
Maybe someday she’ll smile and we’ll get it on film.
I can’t clean like this.

One foot on the bouncy chair, making it go. This make cleaning virtually impossible. Unless you call blogging about not being able to clean “cleaning.”
We’re having a decent sized Christmas party on Friday night for our friends, and our house looks like the setting for the latest apocalypse movie. (2012? Yeah, our living room was the backdrop.) I can’t hold Abby cause that’s pissing her off. The moby isn’t an option. Apparently, sleep is SO 2 days ago.
But how can I get upset with a face like this?
This is where I get mushy.

This morning, as I’m sitting here, enjoying my new favorite talk show (Bonnie Hunt. I love her. That Chicago accent!! It just reminds me of home.) Abby’s in my lap kind of squirmy but also kind of sleeping. And I start to get mushy because she’s just all kinds of cute.
I love the way she squeaks when she stretches. Did I mention she stretches all the time? Because she does.
And the thing that gets me so much is when she laughs in her sleep. Do all babies do this? She isn’t smiling really that much – just an occasional one here and there that we pretty much have to bribe out of her. But when she sleeps? She’s all smiles and laughs. It melts my heart. And then this morning it dawned on me that someday, she’ll do that when she’s awake…and it’ll be because of something the hubs or I did.
Someone pass the kleenex.
And PS – she slept through the night THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW. Except last night. That didn’t work so well. I’m guessing it’s because her routine was changed, and we weren’t home until nearly 11pm from the in-laws. We’ll try again tonight.
Quickly dropping in…

…amid baskets of dirty laundry and a baby who apparently doesn’t care for the Jeopardy theme song to mention the following:
On Sunday night, after 5 hours of being in the car all day (read sleeping), Abigail SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT. Well, from 12-6:30. As far as I’m concerned that’s all night. Of course, it hasn’t been replicated, but HOT DAMN – that was awesome. Last night, had it not been for her wet diaper, I think she could have done it again since she fell back asleep after being changed. Le sigh.
In other news, Christmas is fast approaching and I have yet to purchase a gift or even have a clue as to what to get anyone. Not even the hubs. We’re celebrating Christmas at my folks house in like, 10 days. I’d better get crackin’. (And Mom – you’d better get that massive tree up!) The hubs and I will be picking out our wreath this weekend while his parents cut down their tree (we have a fake one), and I have to figure out how to dress Abby for the coldest temperatures she will have ever experienced.
Alright, I must go. Abby has clearly had enough of her swing and I don’t think I can handle another crying jag.
