I guess winter has arrived!

Everyone was talking about how the weather was so warm it didn't feel like winter. I'm not sure why anyone was complaining, I was just fine with it. Well apparently Mother Nature heard the complaints and she decided to give us winter. Yuck!

Not a whole heck of a lot going on

Every day I check my friends blogs to see if they've posted something new. And a couple of them have posted some things and some have been silent for awhile. And then I think, I haven't really posted anything lately either. So here I am, posting without much to say. Peanut continues to grow and I just wish her tooth would come in so it could relieve some of her pain. I started a group for all my new mom friends to talk about baby stuff. That's been great. It's almost like having all of them in my living room. I really hate that I'm in Ohio at this time. I have not one, not two but five friends who became moms in 2006 and another any minute. I wish I could be near them and have our baby play dates and share our pains with each other. But I can't, so the group discussion thing does lessen the pain.

Wow, nothing to post but I sure can go on and on! Anyhow, I just hope everyone is doing well this dreary January and I hope to see all of you soon!

Peanut's 6 Months Old!

Can you believe it? Six months have passed by so quickly. We took Peanut to the doctor today and she weighs 16lbs 4oz (60%) and is 27.5" (95%)long. She's doing great and handled her shots beautifully. It was Franklin's first time witnessing the shots and he did beautifully as well. :)

She has two swollen spots on her lower gum so we're just waiting for those two teeth to pop through. That would be nice since she seems pretty uncomfortable nowadays. She's not sitting up completely on her own yet and isn't crawling, just swimming in place. :) I suppose it could happen anyday. My friend's daughter who was born a week before Peanut started crawling on Christmas Eve!! Not that I'm in any hurry to have her mobile. She already moves her legs constantly so when she gets up on her knees we're in trouble!

Our stay in Michigan

When I went to title the post I started to write visit but we were there for so long it was way longer than a visit! We arrived on the 21st and didn't leave until Jan. 2nd. We had a great time and got to see lots of people. We started the trip out with a visit to Greenfield Village and the Holiday Lights event. We went with my parents, my sister and her family and some cousins. It was nice to be together but the event was kind of a let down. I think we envisioned more lights. :) But the girls got one last visit with Santa.

We visited many friends of ours that we both hadn't seen in awhile and there were many more we didn't get a chance to see. Our Christmas with my sister and her family was delayed though because they got the stomach flu. We crossed our fingers the whole trip that we wouldn't get sick!

Our New Year's Eve was spent without Peanut. We left her with Nana and Papa and headed to a party in Sterling Heights with Franklin's brother and sister-in-law. The food was awesome, the drinks were weak but we definitely enjoyed people watching!!


Now we're home and back to reality. In other words back to getting Peanut on a schedule again!! I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Christmas and New Year's!!

Peanut's First Christmas!!

We had a great Christmas this year. Peanut had a lot of fun opening presents. Her favorite part was chewing the wrapping paper!!
