9 weeks old!

Cara had a great First Christmas! She thanks everyone for their very nice gifts :) she will enjoy all of them! Santa even filled her little stocking (with pacifiers!). We went over to Nana's for Christmas Dinner which was great (yay no cooking on Christmas Day for me!)

Cara got a new baby cousin for Boxing Day - Margaret Rose Anderson (Maggie) was born Friday evening. Isaac got a baby sister and Grampy and Nana got a second granddaughter to brag about! We're still waiting for a picture but we hear she is cute (must take after her cousin Cara!). Mom and baby are doing great.

Cara also gave us a much appreciated Christmas gift - she slept for 7 hours straight on Christmas night!! That is a gift she can keep on giving every night if she wants!!

2 Months Old and waiting for Santa!

Cara took in her first Christmas Eve church service - she spent most of it in the church basement with Adam though :) Once she got to sleep it was time to go home so she woke up and is now going back to sleep to dream of sugarplums!

Merry Christmas everybody!!

8 weeks old and freezing!

Well, we didn't do much this week since it was soooo snowy and soooo cold! We got out tree up and Cara and I just stayed in the warm house :) Adam is on his Christmas break now so now the 3 of us will just stay in until 2009!!

Cara had her first trip to the mall today and she was good for the first couple of hours then she got a bit overstimulated and let us know :) once we got home she conked out for an hour or so and now is happy again. She is laughing so much now and making lots of "baby talk". So cute!
peek-a-boo!!

7 weeks old!!

Well, we have had a snowy week here in Calgary! We were in Banff last weekend for my work's Christmas party and drove home in a blizzard and now today we are having another blizzard! This is not our normal Calgary winter!! At least it will look Christmas-y though :)

Cara is smiling and laughing all of the time now and we're really noticing changes everyday. She is recognizing Adam when he comes home and smiles at him - it is sooo cute!

6 weeks old - checkup!

Cara had her 6 week checkup on Friday - she is still perfect :) She weighs 11 lbs 2 oz!!

She's growing and the Dr said she is strong and has good reflexes :) She's smiling a lot and laughing now too which is pretty fun. Sleeping is getting better - she's going 3.5 hours between feedings at night (sometimes more) so only getting me/us up 2 or 3 times a night (sometimes more ;). I'm feeling more rested for sure which is great.

Last weekend my mum had a baby shower for us too which was very nice. I got to show Cara off to mum's friends and they gave us some very nice gifts :)
