Quite the day...

Someone was very brave at the doctor today. It wasn't me... I closed my eyes and held her hand.....it was Little Miss Newton. She got 3 shots and I think the only reason she cried at all was because she was tired and didn't want to lay on that paper-covered doctor bed. Poor thing.
I was traumatized by the whole event so we came home, changed into our jammies and napped and snuggled for the rest of the day. Then snuggled some more with Daddy when he got home. At just 1 week shy of her two month mark, Mary Alice is 12.3 pounds and 22.5 inches. 75th percentile in weight and 50th for height.... and 100th for cuteness! (am I the first mom to say something so cheesy? I think not!)

Living with an angel!

Mary Alice is such a little sweetie and I love spending all day with such an angel! Here are a few updated pictures of her. She is getting so chubby and cute! It's fun to actually have something to pick up now! We go to the pediatrician tomorrow so we will see how much she weights then. She is changing so much and has grown up so much in the last week. She is now taking naps by herself which is good for her and for mommy. I can set her in her swing or bouncer and she will fall asleep. However, she only sleeps about 15-30 minutes when she sleeps in her swing/bouncer, and 2 hours when I hold her. She woke up from a nap the other day with this awesome hair-do! Her hair isn't this light in real life but I wanted to lighten it so you could see it better. I try to take pictures every day and this is about the only state she was in yesterday. She woke up maybe twice from 9 am to 5 pm to eat and other than that she just slept! We bathed her and I tried to feed her around 7 but all she wanted to do was go back to bed. So I put her down and she slept until 2 am! I guess they just do that sometimes- it ain't easy growing those rolls and being so cute!This little cutie sat on the chair while we listened to Christmas music and decorated the tree.
