2 Months Old

Here's our cherub today, sleeping like a champ. She went for her 2 month check up yesterday. Doesn't she look plumper? She weighed 11lbs 2 oz. I feel pretty proud of that considering all her nutritional needs are supplied by yours truly! She's also pretty long, 25 inches. It's not a very accurate measurement at this point, but we still think she's going to be tall.

I couldn't stand to watch them give her the injections, but stayed in the room. She did great and stopped crying by the time we walked out of the room. She was a little bit more fussy than usual last night, but did better and likely felt better after I gave her some tylenol.

I'm still loving every minute of our busy lives as parents. I'll be starting back to work after Labor Day. That will be an adjustment, but I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things at work and feel comfortable with the fact that I'm only working part-time.

A Great Visit

Well, Anne and I just returned on Wednesday from our 1 1/2 week trip back home to my parents. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing many friends and family. Jeff came too for about 5 days. He was really surprised to see how much Anne had changed in just 1 week.

Below are some of the pics from our trip home.

My mom got a couple of opportunities for alone time with Anne while my Dad and I went biking.

Good times with old friends, Heather, Janet, Kelly and Shannon. It was so great getting to see everyone as Shannon is now married and in Indiana.

Apparently this is what happens when you give your camera to your sister and Linda is around!

Our family friend, Janet with Lyla, my cousin Alicia's baby who is 4 1/2 months old. We hope she and Anne will be good friends.

My friend, Holly, made these burp clothes. Pretty impressive. Thanks, Holly.

These were the favors my Aunt Renee make herself for the baby shower. How creative! Alica and Renee threw Anne and I a stupendous baby shower. We all had such a great time and were thoroughly blessed by so many wonderful gifts for Anne. Thank you!
