Christmas and Blair's Baptism

It's been a while since i posted anything so i thought now was as good a time as any to do so. the house is quiet now that the girls are asleep. we had a busy week last week. i took megan to see the 8th floor at Macy's on tuesday of last week. we went with Grandma Donna, Aunt Cindi, and cousins Jordan, Stephanie, Madison and Ryan. We had a good time and then went to the Olive Garden for lunch. Wednesday was Christmas Eve at Donna's with all the Roehl family. Megan had a blast and Blair just watched and got held by everyone. I think it was more fun for me since i got to open most of the girls presents. thursday we had my sister and her family over for breakfast and present opening and that evening we went to her house for dinner. Friday we met up with everyone for Jordan's 16th birthday dinner. Saturday my cousin Ellen got married and then on Sunday we had Blair's baptism and then went to go and see Nick's grandma for the afternoon.
One of the biggest thing that happened was that Megan started to walk. She is still a bit unsteady on her feet but is starting to get more daring and taking more steps. Blair is super cute. she is 3 months old now and likes to be tickled. she has the cutest laugh. she smiles at everything and is a really happy baby. I go back to work on January 5th. i have mixed feelings about it. it will be nice to talk to grown-ups again but at the same time Blair is at that fun age and i will miss watching her learn new things.

Blair's 2 month appointment

Yesterday we took Blair to the doctor for her 2 month well visit. she weighs 11 lbs 7.2 oz (75th percentile) , her head is small (5-10th percentile) and her height is in the 60th percentile. she is doing all the things she should be doing at this point (cooing, drinking a lot, figuring out her hands, etc...). she has amazing head/neck control from what i have seen. we are lucky because Megan had the same trait. Blair also got a bunch of shots. not too fun but she is tough and took them like a pro. she barely cried and was easy to settle down. today she is a bit crabby and every time i try to put her to sleep in her bed, she wakes up and starts to cry. It's very frustrating but we are slowly working on transitioning her from the bassinett to her crib before i go back to work on January 5th.
