Christmas in Salem

Brooke had a very merrry Christmas in Salem, OR at Aunt Pam's and Uncle Mac's house.

She received lots of gifts and enjoyed seeing her Nana and Grandpa and cousin Megan.

We were all thrilled that Bryan was able to make it down for Christmas day after spending most of the weekend working on the recovery of the blackhawk crash at Fort Lewis last Thursday. It made us realize that we have A LOT to be thankful for this Christmas.

Two Months!

Yesterday, we had Brooke's two month check-up. Her stats:
Height: 23 inches
Weight: 11lbs. 14oz.

Overall, Brooke is a healthy two month old. Only problem is with the muscles in her left eyelid. They haven't developed enough so the lid hangs a little lower than the right side. The nurse didn't think it was much of a problem, but they will check it again at 4 months. If it hasn't corrected itself, they'll refer us to an opthamologist. Otherwise, Brooke is doing great. She received 4 vaccines yesterday (three shots and one oral). I think these made her extra sleepy... I had to wake her after 9 hours of sleep and then again after another 3 to keep her somewhat on her schedule.

Merry Christmas

Over Thanksgiving week, we took Brooke to get portraits taken. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law were instrumental in keeping Brooke happy. As you can see, the pictures turned out great.

Merry Christmas to all. And to all a good night!

Buddha

Last week, we took the family to Pike's Place Market in Seattle. I saw a shirt there that reminded me of Brooke. It said, "I look like a God...It's Buddha." Isn't that perfect for my little angel?
