1 Deer and 6" of snow!

Quite a bit has happened since our last blog post.  Matt, George, Cecilia and I trucked up to Brandon, MN for hunting opener last weekend in hopes that Matt and his family would get some deer!  Sadly (and fortunately!) Matt was the only one out of the men that got a deer.  He got a pretty good sized doe which made me very happy!  Matt and I think Cecilia had something to do with him getting his deer because the day he shot it she was wearing her "Daddy's Little Deer" t-shirt (see photo below).  While the men were hunting Cecilia and I hung out with her grandma, aunties and cousins.  She even got to meet her Great Aunt Phyllis! 

Up at 5am to wish Daddy luck!

Good luck t-shirt!

Cecilia and her first deer!

Today, we got our first snow!  We have accumulated 6" as of 11:00am this morning!  We haven't taken Cecilia out yet in her snowsuit, but I will post photos after we do.  Below are a few photos of our back and front yards with the snow fall.  This couldn't come at a better time for Matt and I have a bunch of house projects to wrap up before Cecilia's baptism next week!

2 Month Checkup

Cecilia had her two month check-up yesterday, which Mommy knew that it really meant shot day.  Cecilia received her DTap-IPV-HBV (Hepatitis B, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis and Polio), Haemophilus Influenza Type B, Pneumococcal and Rotavirus shots.  Three were administered in her legs and one she drank.  She did not take the leg shots well!  Matt and I have never heard her scream the way she did when receiving the shots before.  She stopped screaming after Matt and I held her and fed her a bottle in the doctor's office, but she was very needy the rest of the day.  No fever from the shots, but her legs were slightly swollen when Matt and I put her to bed last night.  I am happy to report she is back to her old self today, laughing at Mommy making a fool of herself, having party time and smiling!  Below are photos of her sore little legs...

All tuckered out after the appointment

On a happier note, Cecilia weighed in at a whopping 9lbs, 3 oz.!  She measured at 22" long and her head is 38.3cm round.  This puts her in the 50th percentile for her height and head size, but only the 10th percentile for her weight.  Matt reminded Cecilia that her current weight was how much her Auntie Callie weighed at birth.  Pretty amazing that she could have weighed as much as Auntie Callie at birth.  I got lucky!!  Below are a few random photos od Cecilia hanging out in her boppy.  Happy Wednesday!
