Two Month Doctor Visit

Yesterday was Kylie's Two Month Doctor Visit and she was a trooper. She now weighs 9lb 10oz and is 22 and 1/4 inches long. Her weight is in the 20th percentile and length about 35th percentile.

The doctor says she is growing great and she passed her 2 month milestones (cooing, holding her head up some, following objects with her eyes). After the doctor came in and did his assessment we all geared up for the five shots she had to have. Brian held her cute little hands and I stood as far away as possible as I couldn't watch. I was shocked that she handled them so well and was happy in seconds.

Here is a picture of her waiting for the doctor to come in...

Thanksgiving Weekend

Ingredients for a Great Thanksgiving Weekend

• 1300 mile round trip drive (Leaving the house at 7pm and driving through the night)
• One Happy Sleeping Baby for the Drive

• Turkey and all the Fixings
• Built in entertainment for Kylie. Not only all the family members but Zoe made sure to take extra care of Kylie the whole time. Whether it be feeding her, bathing her Zoe was there for Kylie. The best part for me was watching Zoe sit next to Kylie and whenever she got upset helping her by putting her pacifier in or touching her to help her calm down. What awesome kids!

• BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING - (If you did not participate this year what is wrong with you??) Our successful teams (with custom made shirts) leave the house at 10:30pm on Thanksgiving night and return around 8-10am on Friday. No sleeping for the deal seekers at heart. We even planned a tailgate party in the Kohl's parking lot at 4am (Jealous yet??)

Black Friday Shopping Team - The little ones did not go shopping (Jeff and Brian stayed with them)

• Magical Nights of Lights at Lake Lanier - Not only a 6-mile drive through holiday lights but you even get to roast marshmallows at a big bonfire at the end. Of course we don't just bring marshmallows but we bring all the fixings for smores.

• Annual Bowling Tournament - This year we had two teams the under 40's and over 40's. We (the under 40's) let the over 40's win after all they had to use walkers to bowl.

Kylie is 2 Months Old

2 Months already? Yep, Kylie is getting old and big. She is cute, cuddly and just a joy to be around. We take her to the doctor on Monday for her two month checkup and will update everyone on her weight and growth. She enjoyed celebrating her 2 month birthday with her Grandma and Grandpa in Atlanta. In celebration, we took Kylie to Red Robin for a 2 month celebration. We ate her free hamburger and free ice cream sundae. She enjoyed her birthday celebration.

Here is a picture of her with her free balloon(s)

Over the River and Through the Woods

Brian and I are crazy (in case you didn't already know that) and decided to drive through the night with Kylie in the car to Atlanta for Thanksgiving. We left on Monday night and arrived at 6am on Tuesday. Kylie slept the entire trip, accept for a hour when we stopped to feed her at a rest area. What an amazing girl!

A Birthday Message

Here is a special message from Kylie for her Grandma. (Please note: I know my singing is so good I am thinking about American Idol try-outs).

Holiday Photo Shoot

Today we went to Nancy's house for a photo shoot. Nancy takes pictures as her hobby although she is far from an amateur. We are so excited that she wanted to take pictures of Kylie! (Please note that I wasn't allowed to take many pictures while the "professional" was taking pictures)

Here is Nancy in Action

As you can see just a simple photo shoot with a few props.. We learned baby models are very demanding and sometimes won't hold still. Next time we will make sure to have only pink M&Ms in the Candy Jar and only top quality milk for drinks. Thanks to Jess for being the prop girl..
After the photo shoot was over I had to get a picture of Kylie and Nancy for the blog as well as the Friends and Family section (Check out the Friends and Family section). Isn't she cute with her angel wings on??

SHHH.. Don't let Nancy know but here is a bootleg picture taken from a iphone (via the prop's girl)
Thanks so much Nancy, we know the pictures are going to be AMAZING!!
