2 Month Check-Up

Kaitlyn had her two month check-up at the doctor's last week. She is doing really well. Dr. Foster was amazed at how well she is holding her head up on her own already. She is now 11.6 pounds (70th %) and 23 inches long (72%). She also got two shots, one in each leg. They were nice enough to bring in two nurses, so she got both shots at the same time. She only cried for a few seconds. Then she got to bring a book home for a good check-up. All the kids get one book for each "good" visit until they are 5. This visit we got "Little White Duck". She'll go back at 4 months for another visit.

North Conway

These are a couple videos we took while we were in North Conway at Settlers Green with our new camcorder, that we got for Christmas. Thanks to all who made that possible. We are getting used to taking videos with it and thought taking a couple "sample" videos would help. Look for a video of Kaitlyn in the next couple days.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!

This year, Kevin, Kaitlyn, and I spent the new year and Kevin's birthday in North Conway, New Hampshire. It was Kaitlyn's first overnight trip and a little test for our trip too Caribou in early February. She did pretty good!

In the morning,we had a visit from Kevin's Aunt Linda and her friend Marie. After they left, we drove out to North Conway. North Conway has a lot of great outlets and New Hampshire is sales tax free! We had Kevin's birthday dinner at Applebees, then headed back to the hotel to watch some TV. We stayed up just til midnight. Kaitlyn, of course, slept through everything.

The next morning, we headed out to do some shopping. It was freezing, so Kaitlyn was all decked out in her fleece sleeper, hat, mittens, and covered in her Bundle Me. She got a bunch of new outfits from Osh Kosh and Carters. Then the last store we went in had an entire table of clothes with pandas on them! So, of course I had to get some. She even has a panda hat... white with black ears. She looks so cute in it. We'll try to post a picture of her in it soon.

We had lunch at a Chinese buffet and then headed back to Portland. We had a great time and hope to take another trip out soon.

Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone is having a great Christmas so far!

Yesterday, we had enchiladas for Christmas Eve Dinner. Then we opened family presents. We went to Midnight Mass - which Kaitlyn slept through. She woke up once for a feeding around 4:30, then slept til 8:30!

This morning, we had potato pancakes and applesauce for breakfast. Then we opened presents from Santa and looked in our stockings. Tonight, we will be having lasagna for dinner with a candy cane ice cream cake from Coldstone for dessert. Yummy!

Our Latest Snow Storm

Our last winter storm rolled through Sunday night. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

This is what we opened the door to at 9:30 when Kevin was getting ready to head to work..

A little perspective of how deep that snow is...

And finally, the next morning...

Kaitlyn's Morning at Daycare

Thursday was Kaitlyn's first day at daycare... sort of. Our daycare does a 3 hour day before the children start so they can get to know the kids and the kids get to know them. Kevin and I dropped Kailtyn off at 9 in the morning, went to breakfast and did some errands. Kaitlyn apparently had a good morning. She slept in the swing for two hours. She also met Santa and Mrs. Claus for the first time. I wish I could have been there! Santa even brought her a present... a little stuffed reindeer. Her first full day of daycare will be on the 29th and I go back to work full time on January 5th.

For all you Floridians, we got about 6 inches of snow yesterday/last night and are expecting a foot or so on Sunday.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ...

So it is starting to look a little more like Christmas around here. A lot of area houses and businesses have their lights up, and some of the displays are great this year. We've also had our first snowfall, even though it was only an inch or so, and has no completely melted due to today's heavy rainfall. We're still holding out hope for a white Christmas though! Below we have posted some pics of Kaitlyn out in her first snowfall!
