Twas the week before Christmas

I know, I could not believe it either when I realized that Christmas is less than a week away.  It seems like since Claire has come around I am only focused on making it to the weekend to spend time with her, and the time seems to go by much quicker. It was one year ago that we put the finishing touches on the 'Baby's' room, and I'm not sure if it seems longer ago than that, or just yesterday. Last year at this time we were on full on baby prep.

I took Claire to the doctor on Friday, since her cough wasn't improving. After listening to her lungs they put her on Albuterol and a Z-pack. Luckily neither one is flavored like bubblegum, so she is taking them like a champ. Her cough has been waking her up very early in the morning, and Saturday was my turn to get up with her. Claire and I were playing in the family room before the sun came up, and I may have closed my eyes for 4 or 5 seconds (really just a long blink) while I was laying on the floor with her. Claire decide I wasn't paying enough attention to her and took her tums bottle and hit me over the head 4 or 5 times to make sure that would not happen again. She found that tums bottle in my work bag about two weeks ago and we haven't been able to take it away from her, she likes the rattling. I'm sure its nothing but dust inside it by now. Also much to our surprise she kept these Christmas socks on the entire day.
