December

It's mid December, and I feel like all I've been doing is working!  This month I've been gone for three nights at a time, which is taking it's toll on me. I asked for Christmas off, which I got, but in return I didn't get my short two day work shifts like I've had for the past two months. Working for four days, especially in the high travel and weather delay season, is physically and mentally taxing. Luckily things are great at home with Zoey, Matt and our nanny, so I don't have to worry about that. Also, being gone for four days means Zoey is weaned off breastfeeding, which I feel fine about. I wanted it to be a natural and gradual thing without being "traumatizing" for her, so this was a nice way to have it happen. I got home from my first four day and she nursed for about a minute, then just stopped and hasn't since. So that's that I guess!

When I get home on Wednesday, I'll be home until the 27th, so we can fit in all the holiday dinners and festivities. Zoey really likes Christmas trees and decorations, and I really think she will love opening her presents and stocking. She isn't walking yet, but she's standing on her own and crawling like a crazy woman! She is really starting to understand lots which makes life a little bit easier. She can say quite a few words, like "ya", "eau" (which is water in french), "uh oh", and she can shake her head for "no". She loves dancing and she sometimes sings along to music. I feel so lucky to have such a happy and hilarious daughter!

Hopefully my next post will have lots of pictures, but for now I'll leave you with happy and fun wishes for the holidays!

That sounds exhausting! I am so glad everything with the nanny is working out. I guess there are pros and cons to your schedule just like there will be with mine.

Hope you have a great Christmas! Bet Zoey will be a hoot!

Welcome to the 'working mom' haze....all I do is work/Max/work/Max, and some time in all of that sleep.

Are you flying to the O-town anytime?

and also to your neighboring continent. The organization will [URL=http://www.northfacedenalijacket.org/#500]north face jackets on sale[/URL] be owned with the VF Company, which also owns the actual well-known brand names like Lee, Wrangler along with Vans. Nevertheless the corporation will not likely just function exclusively inside United State they also characteristics their line of merchandise in order to [URL=http://www.northfacedenalijacket.org/#919]links[/URL] various sections in the world like in Europe, Asia, Europe, Australia and Latin The us.
