The New Stewarts: 01/17/12

Well, this blogging thing hasn't worked out so well thus far. Mostly because we've been pretty much homeless and without our computer since mid-October. BUT...we finally have a place to call home and have the internet up and running! So now I don't have any excuses and plan on posting much more often!
For those who don't know, we were living with our BESTEST friends in Brandon while we waited for our house in Hattiesburg to sell. The house hasn't actually sold, but we did get some renters for the next 18 months, which will allow us to rent a house in Jackson for now. Yay!
Mae is growing SO fast, and her schedule is getting more and more regular - even though she still isn't sleeping through the night! UGH! I just keeping hoping that will happen soon!
She is doing lots of "talking" and smiling and loves looking at the t.v. and dogs and mirrors (of course). She is learning how to reach for things, and wants to put everything in her mouth, but hasn't yet mastered grabbing. :)
I'm pretty sure she discovered her feet yesterday because she was staring at them and leaning towards them while she was sitting in my lap. It's so much fun to watch her learn and grow and change!
She had a great first Christmas, even though she had no idea it even happened. ;) She got a high chair, and a jumparoo, and lots of cute clothes and fun toys. I can't wait for her to be able to open presents and believe in Santa! Next year she will get to spend Christmas in Texas with Grandma and Grandpa, and after that we will establish our very own Christmas morning traditions!
Here are some pictures from the last month or so.
