I am not good at updating here in the midst of holiday madness (obvs), so here's a holiday recap:
This little guy hit the 5-month mark. Like, 8 days ago. Yes, the photo was actually taken on the 23rd. See above re: lousy updating.

| Seriously? We're doing this monkey photo thing again? Haven't I taken enough photos with this silly monkey? |
Olivia was struck with the evil stomach bug the Thursday before Christmas, which resulted in an entire night of no sleep for me or her and missing her last day of school in 2012. Alas. They don't actually DO anything on the last day of school before the holidays anyway, right?
Luckily, it was a short-lived bug and no one else in the house got it. Martin, however, came down with a wicked cold the morning he turned 5 months old (thus the slobbery, snotty, sleepy look on his face in the above photo), which he carried into the next week. To be fair, the poor kid didn't get a chance to nap much in the next couple of days for all the family gatherings we were attending. So by the time we got to Christmas morning, he was more interested in sleep than in shiny wrapping paper.
 |
| Olivia: "Look Martin! Santa came!" Martin: "I don't get it. Did you HAVE to wake me up for this?" |
He slept most of Christmas Day and the following day, and then we were back to more family parties for the other side of the family. All things considered, I think both kids weathered the holiday frenzy pretty well. Olivia was a little more hyper than usual. Martin was a little grumpier than usual. We survived. Gifts were exchanged. Relatives were visited. Baby Martin was passed around. We spent a lot of family time together and are all pretty ready to get back to routine.

| WHAT?! That milk was for Santa? Why didn't you tell me?!! |
 |
| Whoa, Mommy. What is that jingle thing on your head? |
 |
| Olivia and Santa are old pals. |
 |
| Martin, on the other hand, wasn't so sure about the guy in the red suit. |
2012 was good to us. For details on that,
go here. We are very blessed.
Happy New Year!!

The reindeer antlers are SO cute!!! I hate that both your kiddos got sick around Christmas. Luke was a grumpy bear too after the holidays and slept a lot too. Sounds like he and Marty had the same idea. :-).
Wishing you a Merry Christmas & wonderful 2013!!
Belated Merry Christmas to you and your family. The milk picture is absolutely hilarious!
