Hi Everyone!
As I said in my last post, we were really excited that Tora came a little early- and one of those reasons is that we got to celebrate our first christmas together!
Our first outing as a family was to visit Santa at Nordstrom downtown. Tora was only 5 days old- but we were so excited to get her first picture with Santa we couldn't resist. Honestly- i think going out was more overwhelming for me then for the baby. She pretty much slept the whole time while i wandered wide eyed around Pacific Place trying to find elevators and ramps to make it over to Nordstrom with a stroller for the first time.
We waited in line to see Santa for about 45 minutes since it was only a few days before Christmas. I was so worried the whole time that she would wake up and want to eat while we were stuck in a sea of running playing screaming children dressed up in their Christmas finest. But thank goodness she slept through the whole thing and woke up just for a moment to yawn at the camera and then went back to sleep.
Christmas was lots of fun- we visited both sides of our family on christmas eve where Tora was held by MANY a family member. Christmas day we kept it simple and spent our first christmas morning together eating cinnamon rolls and playing our new board game Small World.
To be hontest Tora's first few weeks are a sleep deprived blur to me- it was at the same time the most wonderful and most stressful time of my life enjoying our little one and getting to know her- and dealing with the overwhelming task of seeing to her needs always and at all times! I think that the best way to sum up these weeks is in pictures of what she does best : sleep, fuss, eat and be cute!
Sleepy baby:
