Congratulations to Christine Lopes, the White Christmas Mabu Baby winner!
What a holiday whirlwind! Growing up I loved Christmas and I still do. I always will... But more and more Christmas seems like a very noisy, marathon game of sardines. My husband and my parents live 14 miles from each other, so we end up feeling like a ping pong ball, volleying back and forth for major event after major event. At the end of the day I can't see straight. I love seeing both of our families, but between early mornings, late nights, and trying to fit Brynn's naps into the chaotic schedule, I have absolutely had enough. Next Christmas I'd like to go find a tropical beach to lay on, but I know we could never do that to our families. Maybe things will be easier next year when Brynn will be almost 2 instead of almost 1.

Inside the Mabu Baby Starter Pack
 |
| The Mabu Baby Starter Pack includes two diaper outers with snap-in pad holders, 2 washable pads, 2 disposable pads, and 5 bio-liners. Also pictured is a 48 pack of bio-liners. |
 |
| Here is the inside of the diaper, and the inside of the washable pad. You simply fold it in half and tuck it into the snap-in pad holder. |
 |
| This is the diaper outer with a disposable pad in place, as well as a disposable pad pictured covered by a liner. The bio-liners are about the thickness of a dryer sheet and are meant to make it easy to strain out the poo for laundering purposes. |

| This is how the snap-in pad snaps in and out. |

Adventures in the potty & on the boob
I just received the new Sunbaby rain diaper today. My daughter was so excited. She really liked it. She also went poo poo on the potty! Big day for a 9 month old.
I haven't been putting her on the potty as often lately... Only maybe twice a day. She has fun with it, but I just don't want to make it a chore that she hates. She's really babbling lately too. I think it will be easier when she can talk and tell me she has to go. She thinks it's fun to pee and poo on the potty, it's just catching her in time. I feel like she might feel pressured if I potty her every 2 hours. As long as it's working I just want to take it slow.
Besides pottying like a big girl, Brynn also nurses. But recently she has become too busy and distracted to nurse. I teach women to breastfeed as a registered nurse, so I find it incredibly frustrating that I am struggling with our feedings. She is all over the place and really not interested. She just sits there sort of latched on and makes goofy noises and smiles at me waiting for me to make the noises back. I try to cover her with a blanket so she can focus and she just rips it off. She will not have that darn blanket blocking her view. Needless to say, my supply has suffered as well. I wanted to nurse my little girl until she was around 18 months, but I already feel like I have to fight her to get her to eat from me. So, I guess we'll see. She thinks she has better things to do... Like 9 months going on 19 years.

Into the Christmas Spirit
My husband is putting our daughter to sleep and I just opened a big box of Christmas festivity. This is my favorite time of year. We always decorate the tree with Mardi Gras beads and the angel on top is a traditional Mexican doll. She's so pretty. What are your holiday traditions?
