2 Months Old






Wow...how time flys!  It is hard to believe that yesterday our little girl was already 2 months old.  We celebrated her birthday by a trip to the pediatrician for her first round of shots.  You would think that some high contrast flash cards or sock monkey would be a better way to mark the occasion, but instead we rewarded her robust health with three needle pokes and a squirt of something vaguely sweet but not quite right.  Addison was a trooper.  Her daddy held her and she fell asleep a couple minutes afterwards.  Addison weighed in at 10 pounds 10 ounces and 23.5 inches long.  Both of these are in the 50th percentile for kiddos her age.  Her head on the other hand measured in the 25th percentile.  Seems like she got Daddy's genes in that arena. Addison was a little under the weather for the rest of the day and we spent the day at home resting, napping, and cuddling.

Addison also had her first official meeting with Santa.  She was not quite sure about the man in the big red suit, but we managed to get one cute picture of the two of them.  As most of you all already know....I am obsessed with all things Christmas.  I am SO excited to share this holiday season with Addison.  Last Sunday, Jeff came over to help Derek with the lights outside of the house.  It was Derek's goal to "Griswald" the house.  They spent ALL day outside...and I must say, our house really puts me in the Christmas mood.  Derek and I also put up the Christmas tree and decorations inside the house.  Addison is amazed by the lights on the tree.  She loves to stare at it, kick her legs, and make noises....it is just so cute!

We took our first overnight road trip to San Antonio for Thanksgiving.  We had a great time visiting with Grandma and Grandad Wichlep.  Addison was in good spirits and gave us tons of those precious smiles the whole time we were there.  After visiting the grandparents, we headed over to the Braxdale's for the night.  It was a full house with Andrea, Allan, Aidan, Derek, Addison, Me, a cat named Cheetoh, and our dog Hailey.  We had a great time with them!  Andrea and I woke up at 4:15 on Friday to make our annual Black Friday shopping trip and the guys stayed behind to play daddy care.  

Here are a couple pics of our sweet girl in all her smiles...we just can't get enough!  Happy 2 Months Baby Girl!!!
