Maddie's 2 mo. appt.

I forgot that I hadn't mentioned Maddie's growth! We went for her 2 mo. appt. the day before Christmas Eve. I took Jon to hold her while she got her shots. She was a brave soul and only cried just a little she got 3 different shots in the thighs. The nurse was a different but much nicer assistant thank goodness, my ped.'s regular nurse or MA or whatever is a beast. I dislike her very much. If my ped. wasn't so nice I'd change. I still might now with a different insurance situation. Wow so anyway I'll get to the point, Madelyn weighed 10 lbs 7 oz! My ped. came in and said "what are you feeding this girl?" I laughed and said "cream I think". Anyway Madelyn jumped from 4th percentile (at birth), to 6th percentile (2 weeks), to finally....42nd percentile (2 mo.). Whoo hoo! She is such a joy, I love picking her up now when she wakes up because she'll usually smile really goofy at me after I smother her with kisses. Her eyelashs have finally filled out nicely and I love when people compliment them. And her "hot lips" as a male coworker called them. What can I say she's starting to look like me, bah ha ha just kidding she's pretty well mixed. We love her and as soon as our computer is up and running I'll post some cute smiley pictures. Her latest thing is cooing all the time, I wonder what she wants to say. Till next time :)

Home For The Holidays...

This Christmas we were not able to make it up to Washington. Darn the insane snowfall that week! That was my first Christmas away from home, and it was hard. I missed my family and just being at home. We missed all you up in Washington and hope you had a good holiday season. We got your packages that were very generous and made me cry. Thank you all! We were however able to spend time with Jon's sisters and brother's family. It's always fun to get together with them. We even went to a Heslop family party, my first time meeting Jon's uncles and aunts on that side. It was nice to have somewhere to go when we were stuck in Utah, thank goodness for in-laws. Our laptop cord has given up the ghost and I will try to repair it soon so I can post pictures, I hate using the apartment's computers. Happy holidays to everyone sorry we didn't get around to making holiday greeting cards. But we enjoy yours :)
