Harper's First Christmas!

Harper had a great first Christmas and enjoyed "opening" all of her great gifts--by opening, I mean she watched intently as I crinkled the paper.  She got all dressed up and sat in her new Bumbo chair in front of the TV.  Heidi's two dogs were visiting for a few days so it was energetic and pleasantly chaotic.  After gifts and baking some goodies, we headed up to Karen & Sal's.  Karen prepared quite a spread, just like we remembered from when we were kids... Christmas at Granny's with enough food to feed an army!  Harper did great and even napped amongst all of the company.  
Harper has been sleeping through the night for the past THREE nights!!!  She wakes up at 5am, like she had been doing, but instead of feeding her, I give her a binky and soothe her for a minute. After this, she falls back asleep.  She basically sleeps for 12 hours, so if we put her down at 7p, she's up at 7a.  It's great!  We have a couple of hours to ourselves at night and now I don't feel like I have to rush to bed anticipating a 5am feeding.  We leave on the red eye flight to Boston tonight, so hopefully our trip doesn't ruin this good thing she's got going on.  She is SUCH a good baby!  She may have started teething, but we're not sure.  She's not quite herself, very fussy and tired, drooling all over the place, sucking her hands and anything else she can get in her mouth (my shirt, her stuffed animals, binky, etc.).  I'm hoping this is not the case, but all signs indicate we're in for it!  (;
I'll post Christmas photos later today if she takes a good nap...
