Christine’s Second Month

20071204_christines_second_month.jpg

Wow, time really does fly! Christine is now a few days over two months old. She is growing like a weed. I’ve posted pictures in the Christine’s Second Month gallery.

This week Christine went to the doctor and had her first set of booster shots. She didn’t like them. Matthew told Christine that it was going to be fun. Then Matthew got his flu shot (he called it a flu-lo shot) on the same day and told Lisa they had to stop going there. Christine now weighs 12 lb 5 oz and is 60 cm long with a 40 cm head.

She is cooing and smiling a lot more. At the Ward Christmas Party last night she was Miss Personality, “talking” with people who held her or came to talk to her.

Lisa is very happy because she has slept through the night 6 of the last 7 nights. Yee Haw (Lisa’s words)!

Christmas Gift Exchange

The “draw” for our Christmas gift exchange was done yesterday. Here are the results:

  • Nanny buys for Lisa
  • Dad buys for Julia
  • Mom buys for Jason
  • Graham buys for Andrea
  • Lisa buys for Dad
  • Alisa buys for Graham
  • Jason buys for Nanny
  • Julia buys for Alisa
  • Andrea buys for Brianna
  • Brianna buys for Mom

The gift is to be approximately $50. Just to be clear (in case anyone asks), there is no rule about spending exactly $50 to the penny, and no rule about whether it is $50 including tax or $50 plus tax. Just get something nice for the person that is close to $50.

We will be hosting the traditional Christmas Eve party at our house again. We’ll sing and eat, and Nanny will provide with find a game again. We’ll also continue the take-away gift exchange game on Christmas Eve. The small gift is to be $10.
