Merry Christmas From Our Family To Yours

Christmas Eve was basically a nightmare with the baby :)  She skipped ALL of her naps, and was just grouchy as could be.  However she looked adorable, and got a lot of great gifts from her family and friends.  Thanks to everyone.  Today she has taken all of her naps, and I'm hoping for a smile or two for photos :)  We'll see.

Mayday, Mayday - we have a sick baby!

Poor little bug is sick.  I suppose it had to happen sooner or later, and I'm glad we made it to almost 4 months before it did!  She has been having tummy troubles for a day or so - and this morning she was very sleepy and had a low fever.  I made an appointment with the doctor, and by the time we got there her fever was 102 degrees.  Oh man.  But he checked her ears, lungs and throat - and said it's not the flu, just an intestinal bug.  Hopefully we will be back up and smiling again in a couple of days. 

Here's hoping mommy and daddy don't get it (ha... right) :) 

Thanksgiving Already!

Wow - it's been a while since I've updated the blog :)  Baby Summer and I are doing really well.  She's sleeping a good 6-8 hours through the night now (with an occasional 5 hour mixed in) :)  That's been such a nice change!  It's nice when you go to bed at night knowing that you will actually get to go to sleep for a little chunk of time.  She's been cooing and talking a lot - and recently learned how to play with her spit bubbles.  It's amazing how things like that impress the heck out of us :)  We were also discussing the other day how many times a day we smell her pants.  That's something I never thought I'd be impressed with either :)  Big poopy diapers. 

On that subject - Shawn watched Summer yesterday while I shopped for new clothes with my mom.  While we were gone - she poopered the HECK out of her pants :)  Finally, daddy's turn to change a crazy diaper (along with wash all her clothes, give her a bath,  and wash her bouncy chair - which didn't survive either).  He was not impressed, but he has a little more respect for what I do all day.  Haha.  He's such a great daddy. 

We put our Christmas tree up early - so that we could start enjoying our first Christmas with Moon  (her new nickname based on her white skin color and perfect balding round head).  She was pretty impressed - here are some photos. 

Napping

Cuddle bug.. almost 11 weeks old!!

2 Month checkup tonight!

Summer has the big "2 Month" checkup tonight.  That's the one with all the shots for those you might not know.  Poor little thing.  I'm so excited to see how much she's grown however.  We are extra excited because Daddy gets to come to this appointment as well - hopefully he'll be ok with the shots and all :)  I know how much he loves needles. 

Laughing!

Ok - so it was in her sleep... but STILL!  She made a little cooing giggle noise, and I looked down in excitement - just then she BURST into laughter!  It was amazing.  I can't wait for her to do it when she's awake and alert :)
