This past Monday, December 14th, Addie was officially two months old. She is growing and changing so fast. Addie's two month check-up was last Friday, December 11th. She now weighs 10 lbs 8 oz and is 22 1/2 inches long. She's in the 50th percentile for both weight and height. During her appointment she also got her immunizations which was sad to watch. Addie is happy and healthy.
Some of the fun things that have happened in the last month include: Thanksgiving and Addie's blessing, Bob's 28th birthday, another baby shower, and getting ready for Christmas. We were able to go to my parents' for Thanksgiving. It was Addie's first big road trip and she did great. We had a fabulous time with my parents. My mom made a tasty Thanksgiving dinner and Addie liked all the extra attention from Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Katie. While we were there, we blessed Addie. It was nice having extended family there for the blessing. Bob did a wonderful job blessing our sweet girl.
On December 4th, Bob turned 28. He's slowly inching his way to 30 which totally freaks him out. I made one of Bob's favorite meals, baked spaghetti, and his requested birthday cake, white vanilla pudding cake with real whipped topping and strawberry sauce. Bob also got cards and birthday cash from our family. I hope that he had a happy birthday!
Two women from our ward in Torrington hosted a baby shower for me and Addie. It was so nice of them to give me another baby shower. Ladies from our ward came and gave Addie some great gifts. It was fun to get to know some of the ladies in the ward better.
Addie Dressed Up for her Shower
We put up our first big Christmas tree. For the last six Christmas seasons, Bob and I have only had a miniature tree. It was nice not having a huge tree being in apartments and moving around. But now that we have a big house, it's great to have a big tree. My parents got a new pre-lit tree and we got their old tree. I only bought a few new ornaments this year and will need to slowly accumulate more ornaments for next Christmas. I think that our tree turned out okay and it definitely helps to bring the Christmas spirit into our home. Merry Christmas, to all!
Addie went to church yesterday in her little Christmas dress. We think she looked pretty darn cute, but we're extremely biased. Addie has been smiling more and more since about 5 weeks old, and she is now cooing and "talking" a lot which has been fun for her Mom and Dad. Bob can hardly wait till Addie is old enough to play and rough-house.
