Busy, busy December

The month of December has been a busy one! Michael was in Vienna, Austria for two weeks for work and during that time Naomi and I stayed in Las Cruces with my parents. Naomi had her first ear infection, and her first cold, and also suffered from an Amoxicillin rash (nothing painful, but it did scare me!). Not to mention Naomi's first Christmas which in itself was quite the event!
Naomi also enjoyed her first cake. A coworker decorated a mini Christmas cake for her. She very gladly ate a good portion of it and disposed of the rest by smearing it everywhere. She had to be stripped down to her diaper so she wouldn't ruin her clothes!
We also visited Santa...twice. Once at NMSU when they had the annual luminaria walk and once at the mall with her cousin Jessica. Naomi did much better than I had expected and didn't cry! She will probably be terrified of Santa next year, but maybe not, we'll see.
Naomi enjoyed her first Chritmas, it was a little overwhelming, but she did a good job. She really is a lucky little girl to have so many people her love her, she recieved so many wonderful, thoughtful gifts.
She also stod up on her own for the first time. She does this on a fairly regular basis now, and I dread the day she takes off walking, she is so busy as it is!
Well, that's it for now. She is keeping both of us busy as are our jobs and our new house. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Years!
