Silent Night
I saw the best Christmas card at Reba's house this weekend. The parents of a newborn sent a card dressed in their pj's which said, "Still waiting for a silent night." How appropriate!!
Like every new parent I am looking forward to the nights when I can say silent night...however I am not wishing the days and weeks away. We are officially into week three of following "Baby Wise." For those who are not familiar with Baby Wise, the subtitle says is all "Giving Your Infant the Gift of Nighttime Sleep." In my opinion this book would be a best seller with the title "Giving PARENTS the Gift of Nighttime Sleep." Let's face it...selfishly we all cherish our sleep!! The book helps to establish a schedule of feeding, play time, and sleep so that your child learns to sleep through the night quickly. Can I get an Amen!!

Family Christmas
Happy New Year!! I am behind on my blogging responsibilities...but then again I do live with a newborn that occupies just a little of my time!! Wanted to update everyone on Price's first Christmas. We made the trek to Dyersburg to visit with the grandparents and some of the many aunts and uncles. We all had a fabulous time eating lots of great food and visiting with family and friends. I am convinced that Price was sufficiently spoiled. Between the 10 family members he only slept in some one's arms during the day. Thanks to all my lovely family who helped to make his first Christmas so special.
The fun continued when Grammy came to visit us in Birmingham. Wes and I took advantage of the extra help and went on a date...as long as you consider lunch and running errands a date!! As for New Year's Eve, you know you are a new parent when you are in bed by 9:30 pm and the first person you wish a Happy New Year to is your newborn during his 12:00 am feeding!
New Year's Day we traveled to Atlanta to see some of Wes's family. It was the first time Uncle Stephen and Grandaddy (Elliott) was able to hold Price since he was in the NICU when they were at the hospital. The spoiling continued with Mimi (Reba) holding Price the entire time. It is good to know Price is loved by many!!
During the holidays Price also had his second Doctor's appointment. When he was 17 days old he weighed 10 lbs and was 21 3/4 inches. He is growing so quickly and has now outgrown his newborn clothes.
