Catch up!

Whoops... got busy around here again!

Laura had her 2 month check up on November 14th (a day shy of 7 weeks old).
She's 10#6oz (gaining roughly an ounce a day) - this puts her in the 75thish percentile and she's 23 inches - in the 95thish precentile! She's gonna be tall! She got her shots - and I swear she screams longer and harder after her bath than she did for those. I was worried we'd have a rough evening because it'd make her fussy, but she slept all evening and only woke up to eat.

November 15th - Laura and I took our first trip together to Grandma and Grandpa's house! She did really well with the car ride again (like always). We met my mom at school so she could show off her grandbaby to her coworkers. Again, everyone commented on her amount of hair and her chubby cheeks :) We got pizza for dinner and then headed back to the house for a quick clothing change and then we were off to Delhi for Laura's second party in one week! The ladies from the church threw us a shower and it was very nice to see everyone and get to show Laura off :) She was a perfect angel - slept all evening. I think that was a combination of it being warm in the house and the background noise of everyone chattering. Lulled her right to sleep. We got some very nice gifts and I am working on the thank you notes this week!

Mom and dad's dogs were really good with Laura - they licked her ears, but they were gentle. Laura was even able to sleep through them barking and jumping up on Mom's lap!




I said it was her second party - the weekend before (Nov 11) we took Laura to Aunt Karen and Uncle Don's house and Laura got to meet a bunch of her extended family. Again, awesome time - lots of nice gifts - Laura now has a nice size collection of books. Richie is working on building a book shelf for her room now.

Here is Laura modeling the cute little sweater that Rachel made for her...


And here is just a cute slippery baby in the bathtub picture - because she's cute!
