Oh Christmas Tree!

We've been trying to get our Christmas tree up for 2 weeks now and we still don't have it finished. This year since our living room isn't done I decided just to put up the white tree rather than getting a real one. I haven't even had a chance to get all of my ornaments out so it's just a few personal ones on it and blue & silver balls. I don't even have lights on it yet. :( I'm so disappointed at my lack of enthusiasm for Christmas this year.

I also decorated Lily's tree Saturday. It turned out really cute!



2 Month checkup

Technically Lily is on her way to 3 months right now but Friday we had her "2 month" checkup. I was anxious to see how much she had grown but I was not looking forward to her having her shots. I hate shots myself so I knew this poor little girl wasn't going to like them.

We got called back and immediately undressed her and got her weighed and measured. She is 10 lbs 4 oz and 22" long now!! My baby is growing so fast! :) The doctor then came in and checked her all over and told us she looks great and we are doing a good job with her. Oh how good that makes us feel when we're told that. She had woke up with a runny nose and sneezing Friday so he told me to put some saline drops in her nose and suck it out and thankfully that has helped and she's back to her healthy self again.

When the doctor was done, it was time for the dreaded shots. Two nurses came in and got the needles ready while I held Lily's arms back. She was getting 3 shots and an oral solution to help prevent diarrhea. They both did the first 2 shots at the same time and immediately Lily started crying. I felt so bad for her! One of the nurses did the third shot and it was finally over. I picked her up and calmed her down enough to feed her. She wasn't too bad after that and slept the whole way home and some in the evening. Of course that night she was pretty fussy and had a fever but the nurse said it was normal for that to happen.

We go in Februrary for her 4 month checkup and we'll do the same thing then. Oh how I'm dreading that day already....

Christmas Pictures

I took some Christmas pictures of Lily this weekend. I have to get some more in her dress soon because she started getting grouchy after I had only taken a few. Enjoy!!

Catching up with Lily

I haven't posted very many pictures of Lily lately so here's some I've taken the past few days.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday we had Thanksgiving dinner at my grandparents house. I have a cousin who has a son that's just 5 weeks younger than Lily so we got pictures of all of us together. He seems so small compared to her!! We also did a generation picture. So without further ado....here's the pictures we took.

I love how Lily is looking up at me in this one.

2 Months

I can't believe my baby is 2 months old already. We've had to switch her formula because she was having stomach issues and would have a crying fit every night. We thought she was going to get colic but thank goodness she's done better and has only had a few fits since. I took her to the doctor a couple weeks ago and she was weighing over 9 lbs so he said she's growing just like she should be. She loves to look around and she's cooing and making sounds and also smiling alot. I'm very anxious to take her to Thanksgiving because alot of my family hasn't even seen her yet.

Christmas Outfit

I finally got all of Lily's outfit she'll wear on Christmas Eve. The dress was $8 from Gap, red sweater $10 from JCPenny, red coat $13 from Old Navy and I just got a pair of tights from Wal-Mart and black shoes I have that I wore as a baby. I can't wait to see her in all of it!!
