Last Sunday, Matt took down Matilda's crib. The first thing she did when she saw her new "bed" was bounce on it. For her first nap, it only took about 2 hours to finally get her to fall asleep! At bedtime she does does stay in her bed, however she has learned how to take off her sleeper and diaper, so we usually find her lying on the mattress naked (which could have made for some nice blackmail pictures in the future if Matt & I were really evil). I just miss being able to put her in her crib and going to take a shower, now I have to wait approximately an hour to make sure she has fallen asleep. I'm hoping that the novelty of bed will wear off soon and she'll start falling asleep quicker.

Matilda seemed to enjoy herself as she "helped" me make Christmas cookies this past weekend. If I do say so myself, they were pretty ugly, but quite yummy. We're not even going to mention all of the health code violations that were broken during this culinary experience, but I will point out that Matilda is licking the frosting beater, NOT the raw cookie dough. I also slipped in a picture of Mattie decorating the Christmas tree from Thanksgiving weekend. Amazingly, she hasn't bothered it too much since we put it up (unless one of the kitties is beneath it).
