Mabel received a super-secret stealth visit from St. Nick tonight. He buzzed our door and left a bag of goodies. She got a baby-sized Toronto Maple Leafs hat, several books by her favorite authors, and a few jars of organic apple baby food. Yum.
Life has been great here for us since Thanksgiving. Nathan continues to enjoy his time home with Mabel. While Grandma Joyce was here with us after Thanksgiving, we did some daycare shopping and settled on a place called Shining Star right near Nathan's work. The people there seem caring, the fees are reasonable, and it's about three minutes from Nathan's work, so we're hoping for the best. Mabel will start there when mama goes back to work after her break, on Jan. 7. We're both very grateful that Mabel was able to stay home with mom and dad until her eight month marker.
Mabel is getting much better at sitting up. She'll stay up for several minutes, but once she sees something else she wants to get to, she's down on the ground rolling around. She does pull herself up on all fours occasionally, but no forward motion yet. Grandpa Dick was nice enough to install a very secure gate at the top of our stairs, so we're ready when she's ready.
