Santa Clause is coming to town!

I love that the end of the year goes by so fast but this year I wish it would slow down. Becca is growing so fast and pretty soon she's not going to be my little baby anymore. She turned 5 months on December 2nd, she can roll over, talk, laugh like no one's business, and make anyone happy (Grandma calls it Becca therapy). I can't wait for her first Christmas, she already has more presents under the tree than any baby needs and she humors me so well with all my pictures and silly-ness. In fact she knows exactly what to do when she sees a camera now...


This was pretty much Becca's favorite part of Thanksgiving, leaving floaties in my cup. (Why didn't I just get her her own drink?!) She enjoyed mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, rolls, and jello salads.

I love waking up to this face in the morning. The other morning I opened my eyes after having my lips tickled for quite some time to this adorable face smiling at me.

And of course Uncle Jake's favorite person in the world is Becca. They both light up when they see each other.
As fall semester comes to a close winter semester is fast approaching. Becca and I will start school again in less than a month and we're both a little nervous. Becca seems to think that she's to old for naps and baby food, she's only allowed me to feed her from my plate. I'm hopeful that Kieran will be up for the challenge of dealing with a stubborn princess all those hours I'm in class. Fortunately, until then, we have a wonderful Christmas to look forward to and the last couple weeks of no homework and mommy and Becca time to enjoy.
