Mila,
baby's first Christmas it's the most wonderful thing! We were very blessed to have celebrate it with grandma in Atlanta. We arrived on the 19th of December and we will be staying till January 4. We get to celebrate your very first Christmas, ring in 2014 and we get to celebrate grandmas birthday on the 3 of January.

Grandma decorated her place especially for you and Emma, here are the pics

Grandma also bought you your very first ornament, this is one of the most treasured ornaments on our tree along with your brothers and sister first ornament. It's one that I look at with sweet memories every year when I pull it out of storage.

On Christmas Eve we celebrated with the family at Cousin Georges house. We met new family mebers, played secret Santa, ate lots of food. The night was filled with lots of love and fun.

Christmas Morning

Happy 11 months mila

Today, my sweet Mila, you are celebrating your 11th month. Your infant days are quickly coming to an end and I am pretty much in shock that I am going to have a toddler next month. One more month to go and you will turn 1. Not to mention that mommy will be heading back to work. It has been quite a year.

For the past 11 months, sweet mila you have learned so many things and being at home with you I witnessed all of those. Like your first tooth, first smile, first step and a lot of firsts.

So, let’s talk about this month. You are a ball of energy and I can't get enough of you. I am so so so blessed to be your mommy. To wake up to your smiling face each morning. To be able to rock and sing to you before each nap during the day and steal as many baby kisses as I want. I could never have enough words to express how much I love you and how special you make me feel day in and out. I love to see you grow each day. And Mila thank you for making us happy and inspired every day. Mommy, Daddy, Joshua, Jace and Emma love you so much.

Here are a few of your highlights from the past month:

You sleep from about 6pm to about 7am and only you only get up once through the night. I think it’s because you go to bed so early
Size 5 diapers
Wearing 18 months clothing
Mila, you are a ball of energy, you always on the go, smiling
You now have your 2 bottom teeth, love to see you smile
Crawling, I call you my G.I.Jane because you still army crawl, but there are times I catch you crawling.. LAZY BUM, you’ve become a super-fast in your baby walker soon you will be walking I just know it
eating, cereal, fruits and veggies.. You love to eat whatever mommy and daddy are eating
