Meet The Grandparents

We have had a busy past couple of weeks. Maddie has visited both sets of grandparents. We had a great time, and we miss them already!

Grandpa Larry - my dad

I wish we had taken more pictures in oregon, but the trip went by waaay too fast! I learned the lesson the hard way and turned into a camera nazi while Jeff's parents were in town. 

 Nana finally meeting maddie. (Jeff's mom)

 Love Love Love this picture! Laughing with Grump

 Just hanging out with nana, watching some TV.

 Passed out on Nana. again.

 All of us after church

 Maddie's new outfit, thanks to Nana! Her onesie says "grandma gives the best hugs." So true. 

We had the best time with both sets of grandparents. Now it's time to pack up our lives and move to saint louis! Aggh!

On a side note, after Jeff's parents left today maddie took a 4 hour nap, woke up, ate, and fell back asleep. She's pooped. 

we have a super chunky monkey baby.

Yesterday was maddie's 2 month checkup.

let me back track a little. Maddie is growing out of clothes like crazy. I can't think of a single newborn outfit she wore more than once, and she's even starting to grow out of her 3 month outfits. One day, in a fit of anger, I threw all of her clothes on the floor and vowed to only put her in clothes she hadn't worn yet so she would be able to wear them at least once.
It didn't work.

While we were in Oregon, she literally wore a pair of pajamas the first day there, and grew out of them by the end of our 5 DAY TRIP.

to say I'm a little peeved is an understatement. some days I threaten to stop feeding her. (I would never do that, don't call cps on me!) one of my friends told me to give her "shortening". haha!

But despite all of that, I was convinced that the clothing companies just make the clothes really small so you have to keep buying more. I love a good conspiracy theory.

So, imagine my shock when at her two month appointment she weighed over 14 lbs. That's a big baby! and then her pediatrician came in and was shocked, too! I asked him what her percentile was, and he said that he couldn't even tell me because that weight/height didn't even exist on his chart. She's literally off the charts. Not an expression.

So I looked it up, because not knowing her percentile was killing me. 

Height - 98%, weight- 99.99%

Mind Blown. 

Holly suggested to me that she will be a toddler by time she is 6 months old. I wouldn't be surprised. 

But the good news is that she's totally healthy. He even said that developmentally, she was looking more like a 3 month old. Yay! 

But with a face as cute as this, I can't be mad at her for growing so fast. Maybe she'll go into the wnba!

Artsy Baby Shower Photos

We just got back from our much too short visit in Oregon. There was a baby shower, and holly made most of the decorations. I'll post more about the shower later, but for now, I thought there should be a whole post devoted to how awesome the shower looked, and my artsy pictures.

Holly needs to go into the professional tissue paper ball making business.
