2 Month Check-Up
Katelyn went for her two month check up today. She is two months in a week, but we had the check-up today. She is growing and growing, I was anxious to see how much she weighed. I can tell that she is getting fuller in her face and belly. She weighed in at exactly ten pounds. She is average in her weight. She is 23 1/2 inches long. The doctor said she will probably be tall because she is pretty long for her age. She received three shots today in her legs. Katelyn cried when the nurse gave them to her, but after was pretty good. She is a little uncomfortable and sore but that is to be expected. Everything checked out great. She is a healthy baby!
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree....
Christmas Day was very very busy! We started the morning off with heading to my parents house to exchange gifts with my family. Shaun was home from Florida and it was the first time he was meeting Katelyn. Needless to say we were anxious to get over there in the morning to see him. We exchanged gifts among my family. Katelyn had the biggest stack by far. Her uncles, Grammie and Papa spoiled her on her first Christmas. After we spent the morning at my parents, then we came back here to get ready and go out to lunch with EVERYONE at Jameason's Char house. The lunch was fantastic! It was great to see all my family that was visiting from New York, Florida, and California. Once lunch was over we all headed back to my parent's house to celebrate some more. We did a white elephant exchange which is always hilarious. I ended up with a pumpkin pot holder and Matt ended up with a St. Patrick's Day Hat. Santa came by and Katelyn did not cry (we will see how she is next year). We opened some more gifts, played LCR, and visited with family. Katelyn's first Christmas was busy but memorable because we were able to spend it with A LOT of family that we do not get to see to often!

Christmas Eve.....
Katelyn's first Christmas Eve was a success. Matt, Katelyn, and I exchanged gifts in the afternoon at our house on Christmas Eve. Then we went to church with my family to the children's mass. Katelyn slept the whole time during church, which was nice. It was very crowded and not much room to move around with her. After church we went to Auntie Sandy's. We ate dinner there, opened gifts, ate dessert and had a great time celebrating with family and friends. Katelyn's Christmas Eve outfit was adorable!!

Visiting Santa
Yesterday Matt and I decided to take Katelyn to meet Santa again. The Santa at Macy's was a bit expensive for one picture and someone told me that at Bass ProShop it is free and you can take your own pictures! So, after work Matt met us at Bass ProShop. I had gotten there twenty minutes before him and stood in line. The line moved pretty quick, because when Matt arrived we were at the front of the line and ready for Santa. Katelyn was awesome while waiting in line. She sat in her stroller and looked around at everything going on around her. She sat in Santa's lap and took a very cute picture! I think this will be a start to another new tradition. Next year we will have to see if she still will go to Santa and not cry!

Katelyn is One Month Old
I can not believe that Katelyn is already one month old. This has been the best month of our lives. Katelyn has brought us so much love and joy. We can not imagine life without her now! Over the past month a lot of things have happened. She now weighs 8 pounds 12 ounces. She is 21 1/2 inches long. She sleeps for 5-6 hours a night and now is sleeping in her nursery. Katelyn LOVES to eat, and her mom loves to feed her! When she is awake which is mostly in the evening, she grunts a lot and makes funny facial expressions. Her eyes are big, blue, and wide open when she is awake. Katelyn was born with black hair, she still has black hair but some of it is falling out. She turns her head when she hears her mom or dad's voices. She is a very strong little girl, she lifts her head all the time when trying to look around. We have enjoyed all the love and support that we have received in the past four weeks. Katelyn is one lucky little girl. We took some one month pictures for family and friends to enjoy!

Katelyn's First Thanksgiving
For Thanksgiving we went to my parent's house (Grammie and Papa's). We were surrounded by lots of family and Matt's family as well. Some of the relatives got to meet Katelyn for the first time. She was an angel all day/night. She slept for almost the whole time as everyone passed her around and held her. We ate a delicious meal thanks to my mom. We also played a game called, Truth be Told...this was a crack up. We ended the night with watching, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving!

Carrie's Baby Shower
Katelyn's first time out of the house was to Carrie's baby shower today! Carrie's baby shower was at Biaggi's in Naperville. The food and company were great. Katelyn was wonderful the whole time. She slept while everyone held her. She was held by a lot of different people that had not seen her yet. Katelyn can not wait to meet her new friend Cameron, when he is born in January.
