Baby Carlson's (Danielle Nicole Carlson) journey

Due to the holidays and other circumstances, i've fallen behind in logging the days of Danielle growing up. Over the past 4 months she's gotten bigger, began to explore more, and laugh and smile daily. She is now able to sit up by herself and keeps herself amused at times with her toys. Not yet crawling but very close to. Her two lower front teeth have come in, Her top teeth have yet to make an appearance, but the teething pain comes and goes. Her days in day care have so far been pleasant, she is starting to interact with the other babies. She even has a secret santa gift for another child at day care. Her first secret santa gift exchange. Thanksgiving was spent with Grandma in San Francisco, we went to Cityscape for Brunch and then to the Auto show to look at cars. Christmas will be spent at the Aunts and Uncle's of both Shannon and I.

Danielle is now sleeping on her stomach by choice. We put her in her crib at night and she finds a way to flip over and we find her on her stomach in the morning. Some of the more comical moments have been walking in to find her in a push up position looking over the bumper at us smiling. she's also been known to on being awoken, lifting her head up and then it drops to the matress a few times, groggily waking up.

She is still sleeping through the night, thanks to her warm blanket sleepers.

The house is getting baby proofed and will be secure by the time she starts to be mobile.
The Christmas tree is put up, yet to be decorated, Danielle does not like the feel of the needles.

The past 4 months, she has grown so much, and has gained such a personality, it is amazing to look back at pictures to see all the changes.

I promise to not let this go another 4 months before updating again.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year.

ps. New pictures will be posted soon
