I think Natty received more Christmas gifts on her first Christmas than Sunny and I have received in the last 3 Christmases. I guess she's pretty easy to shop for and she always reacts to every present in the same way: stoic indifference. But it was still fun for Mama and I to wrap her presents and unwrap them in front of her. It was also fun to buy our first Christmas tree (first since we've been married). It was actually kind of a sad tree, fake, cheap, and adorned with two strings of lights and a single ornament. Our own Charlie Brown Christmas.
Natty must be thinking, "Man, I can't get over how ghetto this tree is..."
FUNGUS UPDATE!
Several weeks of Prescribed Medicine #1 did nothing. A couple more weeks of Prescribed Medicine #2 tasted better, but still did nothing. Then a friend turned us on to Over-the-counter Medicine #1 and the fungus had met its match in a few days. The trade off was that Natty's mouth turned purple and some clothing and sheets got stained.
We had our usual late lunch with Sunny's family on New Years. We took Natalie out for a walk after lunch and when we came back, Sunny's grandma scolded Sunny for letting Natty get so cold, her lips turned purple. True story.
Anyway, the thrush is gradually going away and Natty's mouth will continue to be Laker colored until all the fungus is gone.
Oh yeah, this past Christmas marked the first time in forever that we sent Christmas cards out. Because we weren't too experienced with this, we didn't order nearly enough so if you didn't get a card from us, here it is. Please print it out, magnetize it to your fridge, and then throw it out next Christmas.
Natty is now 9 pounds, 8 ounces of Sanrio-like cuteness. If you enjoy the sight of chubby baby legs as much as I do, you'll appreciate the next photo more if you look at the photo from a previous post.
We hope you will have a blessed 2008!
Giggles!
