Christmas Pictures

We took the girls to JCPenney a few weeks ago to get our family Christmas picture. Here is a link to the photos: https://www.smilesbywire.com/home.asp?AC=LTPP0358115280JCP type Christina Doughman in the name line. It's nothing special but you can read on if you want to know more.

I normally go to JCPenney as we have a membership - meaning there are no sitting fees- and they send coupons regularly for a free 8x10. I know that I will usually have to wait even though I have made an appointment and this time was no different. Our appointment was for 9:30am as this is during Sofia's awake/happy time; we weren't seen until 10:45. That upset me a little but what was really frustrating is that the photographer seemed rushed. I know they were running behind but she would take one snap per pose...this doesn't work with a toddler and an infant. When I made the appointment I made them aware that I wanted family holiday shots as well as Sofia's newborn shots, and this was indicated on her paper, but once we were done with the few holiday shots she was ready to move on to the next person. I told her I had requested to have the newborn shots done and she obliged but continued in a rushed manner. I guess I will try and get one of the first appointments of the day in the future.

One Month Check Up

Sofia had her one month check up yesterday. The Dr. was impressed with her weight gain and growth. She now weighs in at 9 pounds 11 ounces and is 22 inches long. She continues to be gassy; but is starting to really take to her schedule. She eats every 4 hours during the day and has gone as many as 7 hours in the night, the normal is 5 hours though. She has become much more responsive in the last few days....smiling and following noises. All in all she is healthy and happy....I am blessed!

Linnea the Cow


The cow says "Moo"


We didn't go trick or treating this year but will probably venture out next year. Instead, I took the girls to Chris's office for reverse trick or treating (we gave out the candy), I did this last year with Linnea. This was also Sofia's first trip to Daddy's office.

We had dinner with Grandma and Grandpa and then went to Uncle Steve and Aunt Emily's to show the costumes to Emily's siblings. They shared some great news with us...they are expecting! Linnea and Sofia will have a cousin in the area....we are so excited for the two of you, and can't wait to meet the little one!
