SNOW

We had a surprise snow storm today. It was cool to have it, even though it won't be sticking around. The kids were able to play in it and sled down a hill in the neighborhood. Grace got to see her first snow, as if she knows what to do with it or know how much fun it is to play in. It certainly didn't take long for her little cheeks and nose to turn red.



Steve had the pleasure of pulling Haley down the hill on a homemade sled.

Two Month Checkup

Well, Mommy and Grace both made it through the first round of shots at her two month appt. Wow! I knew that I was going to be emotional, but I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to see someone hurting my baby. I know that they are giving her vaccinations for all the right reasons, but it doesn't make it any easier.

Now for the current stats:
Height 24.25 inches
Weight 11 lbs 13 oz

Her weight is now in the 70% range of the charts, height is in the 90% range. She is growing just great and the doctor said everything looked perfect. After chatting with doctor about amount of breast milk I am getting when I pump, she is thinking I may not be producing enough for her, even though she seems very content when she eats. So I am now taking fenugreek and drinking 'mothers milk' tea to see if I can get even bigger boobs...Yippee! Whatever I need to do to make my baby happy and healthy.

FIRST SANTA


Not the most exciting event for Gracie, but she is going to have to realize that she is here for our entertainment. This will probably be the only sleeping on the lap of the ever merry one that we will have. Next year will probably end with a wet spot on the old red suit and lots of tears.
