I figured that we would be dropping a nap now that Nadia's naps are getting longer, and sure enough the last two days she's only had 3 naps even though she's been home all day (sometimes she misses naps because we're away from home). She's not 100% consistent as to which two are the long ones, but she is pretty consistent in having two long (meaning greater than an hour) and one short (45 minutes or less) a day. I would say that her total time sleeping during naps per day has actually increased a little. Last night I was able to keep her up until 7:45pm, but most nights it seems that she is ready to conk out by 6:30pm. Going to bed later last night didn't help any in terms of when her first feeding was like I had hoped it would. Thankfully if she wakes up prior to when I'll feed her, she only cries maybe 2 minutes and then goes back to sleep. However that is not the case later in the night. Tuesday night I fed her a second time to see if doing so would enable her to sleep until 7am. It did no good whatsoever as she woke up only an hour later and then cried off and on for a long 
period of time until I went and got her at 6:30am. So last night I decided not to go get her until 7am. She cried quite a bit. I was about to cave at 6:30am, but just as I went to get her she fell asleep and slept almost an hour more. So she didn't really get up out of bed until almost 7:30am which is very late for her, LOL! I am hoping if I am consistent about not feeding her a second time and not letting her get up before 7am that there won't be so much crying involved. There are more and more times these days that she goes down for a nap or for bed without any crying which is very nice. I really don't like to hear her cry!!

We put lights and the star on our Christmas tree tonight. We've never had a tree this long before decorating it, and we still didn't finish. I am just lacking the desire to do it. Paul is taking the lead, and usually I'm the motivated one when it comes to decorating. I feel like a Scrooge or Grinch, but I'm just tired to be quite honest.

You can get stocking hangers...I have 4, they're the letter N O E and L...they sit on the mantle and they're heavy and you hang the stocking on the hook on them :)
Ditto the stocking hangers. And you're doing much better than I did last year about decorating; I didn't put up a tree! With a little baby zapping my energy, I just didn't have it in me to put up the tree, go away on vacation, then take it all down once I got home. So don't feel bad! And remember, you're not even getting as much sleep as I was last year AND you have a job outside the home! So in my book, you're doing very well.
