getting so cold

Thanksgiving this year was fun. We spent it in D.C. with your friend Cayden. You were so good and of course you looked adorable in your pumpkin outfit. Daddy went to Las Vegas, but he called frequently and asked how his squirt was. I don't know how this infant potty training is going. We have to keep you naked and you pee and poop on me and the floor frequently as a result. It's funny the first few times, but the carpet is taking a beating. Of course, your dad loves it and cracks up every time. Your first Christmas is coming up soon, so we'll have to start a tradition. I don't know what it will be yet, but I'll try to be creative. We are going up to Pittsburgh to see your grammie and poppie and some great grandmas and aunts and uncles. You've started to not like any strangers. Even people that you used to like, if they get up in your face to talk to you, you get the saddest look on your face and immediately start crying. You experienced your first day of snow on Monday, December 6. Of course, we took pictures of you in the snow and you loved it. However, you love doing anything outside, even if it's below freezing. You did have your first out-loud giggle. It was two days ago. Your dad was holding you and making you throw punches at my face and you started giggling. It was so cute we had to try and make you laugh again. We sang songs to you and eventually what did it was holding a toy in front of your face and making it buzz around you. You repeatedly laughed out-loud and I think your dad and I could have done it all day without it getting old. Your sleeping patterns have been hard on your mom lately. You won't sleep for more than three hours at a time. Last night you did sleep for two 5 hour shifts, which was a big relief. I have been trying to guilt the rest of the family into writing more. For some, it has been over a month! I guess they will write when they have something worth while to say. I will write again soon. Love you.
