Christmas Past
Linnea's first Christmas has come and gone. It was a blast watching her open numerous gifts and revel at the noises that so many made....batteries were included, thanks to grandparents and great grandparents. We really didn't have to buy her anything she would have been happy with the paper, ribbons, and bows that adorned the packages. Here are some pictures from the days of festivities.

10 Down 2 to Go
Linnea is now ten months old! It is hard to believe in just two months we will be celebrating her first whole year of life. She has been such a blessing to our entire family, yes this includes all you grandparents, great grandparents, and aunts and uncles too! The only one not quite so excited about Linnea is Kitty Ka-too.
Well Linnea had her 9 month well check today at 10 months...the doctor is a little busy when it comes to well checks. Linnea was upset the minute she saw the nurse, as this is the nurse who has given Linnea 90% of her shots, and who had to prick her toe and give Linnea her second flu shot today....and Linnea didn't really want anything to do with Dr. Norby either.
The doctor said she is doing great physically and is on target developmentally. So the moment you have all been waiting for.... The Stats....Linnea weighed in at 16 pounds 7.5 ounces, that puts her in the 5-10% range. She is 29 inches long, 75% and her head is 50%...at least something is average. The Dr. once again said, "she is long and lean but we already knew that."
Because of her length we will be needing to change her car seat soon as her pumpkin seat is only recommended for babies up to 29 inches in length. I have a strong feeling she will be sitting backwards long past her first birthday as I don't foresee her gaining 3 pounds and 8.5 ounces in two months; but we will see. The Dr. said we can start giving her whole milk and more "people" food whenever we want to start, it's our decision to make.
Linnea is still waiting on her first tooth but I have a feeling we will be seeing more than one in the near future.

Thanksgiving in Wisconsin
We traveled to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving at my sister, Ellen's home. Her and her husband put the three of us up for the majority of our stay. Ellen's husband, Dan, enjoyed the football game with us, way to go Packers.....Linnea had fun too. She is a true cheese head!
Other than just hanging out with family,Ellen and I performed in an alumni choir concert. We rehearsed for about 2 and a half hours Saturday afternoon and performed a 14 song concert that night. We had a great choir director in HS which made this all possible....she says the next alumni concert won't be for another six years; but many of us think it will be sooner. It was a lot of fun to be singing again, especially with people who can read music...or at least follow the notes up and down.
After a great visit it was time to travel back to Ohio. Our trip North was smooth sailing, being that we left on Tuesday afternoon. The same cannot be said of our trip back on Sunday with the roads full of holiday travelers...the 9 hour trip evolved into 11 and a half hours in the car. Needless to say Linnea was tired of being in the car after 10 hours so the last hour and a half was brutal. We made it home safe and sound and Linnea recovered from the trauma of a really long car trip in the following week.
