Campbell's First Christmas

While Campbell takes a quick afternoon nap, I thought I'd take a second to update the world on our time at home. Things are going so well! Campbell continues to amaze us with how sweet she is. She sleeps and eats really well for a newborn. Now...she's still a newborn. So if you stop by, you'll probably notice some circles under our eyes, and we may or may not be showered. But all in all, we're doing pretty well. My parents came down Christmas night and are here for the weekend. It's been so fun to watch them with their grandbaby. And even more fun to watch them cook and clean for us!!!!! :) It's nice to be taken of. Yesterday we met the entire Justice family, cousins and all, for lunch. The cousins were so cute at the end of the table, eating their chicken fingers together. It's crazy to think that one day Campbell will be down there with them! It was a big deal for her to go out on her first outing. She slept in her carseat the entire time (shew!) and we kept her covered up for the most part. Unfortunately we couldn't pass her around and let the cousins love on her - she's just too young to be out and exposed to all those kiddie germs. It took me forever to get myself and Campbell ready - I see why new parents always run late! Travis' parents and Nanny came over after lunch and got some extra quality time with Campbell.

She is very mellow - so far she's definitely got her Daddy's personality! She is super alert, especially at night after dinnertime. She'll sit there wide-eyed, sometimes for two hours at a time, just watching the world around her. Two nights ago, she stared at the Christmas tree for what seemed like forever, like she was in awe with it. What I wouldn't give to know what was going on in that precious little head of hers! I'm really enjoying playing dress up. It's like having the world's best doll. Travis and I gave her her first bath at home a couple of days ago and Campbell didn't even cry. We expected the worst, and were pleasantly surprised that she seemed to enjoy the warm sponge bath. I know these little details are probably really boring to anyone but us, but we sure are enjoying it and want to remember every second. I have been taking a ton of pictures, so after I take some time to upload them, I'll be sure to post.

Belated Merry Christmas to all! Now that we are at home and settled, Campbell welcomes visitors. There's only one stipulation - you must be well! The hospital drilled that in our heads - having a baby during the winter means being super strict about making sure our visitors don't have colds. So as long as you're healthy, give us a call, we'd love to introduce our sweet little angel to the world!
