Our Little Piglet!

Susanna had her 2 month check-up on Tuesday and she did GREAT!! She is in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. Miguel and I had a bet going on how much she would weigh... I guessed 11 pounds 3 ounces and he guessed 12 pounds 2 ounces. Wanna know how much she actually weighed... 12 pounds 15 ounces!!! Our little monkey is almost 13 pounds already! We were both surprised but knew she was getting chubby and cuter every day. Just this past week she has moved up to 3-6 month clothes too. Obviously she is growing and doing wonderfully and we are so proud! At this same appointment she received her first round of vaccinations and we were both nervous how it would go during and after. Of course she cryed when she got her shots (2 in one leg, one in the other, and one dose of oral meds) but the nurse said she was very stoic for a 2 month old. She definitely has cryed and screamed MUCH LOUDER for less reasons so I was happy to see she handled it so well. They let us know of possible side effects and what to look for during the next 24 hours. Our little girl did start to run a low grade fever, which is normal and to be expected, so we had our first experience giving her some medicine to help. Miguel and I figured out the best way to give her the meds without her spitting it all out and quickly she was sleeping and seemed to be feeling much better. So far this morning she is doing great and back to normal. Her next appointment will be when she is 4 months old and she will get another round of shots at that time. She gained 4 pounds in her first 2 months and if she keeps up this rate she will be almost 17 pounds by 4 months, so cute!!



Last week my dad, Susanna, and I traveled to Ohio to visit with our extended family. Susanna got to meet her great grandparents and great aunts and uncles. It was a wonderful trip! Unfortunately we did not get to stay for my cousins wedding but my uncle shared some pics with me. My cousin Katie was a BEAUTIFUL BRIDE and the new Mr. and Mrs. look very happy and seemed to have a fantastic wedding. I wish them the best and much happiness and love :)
***Once my dad emails me the pics taken in Ohio I will post them***

While my dad and I were in Ohio Miguel was doing some traveling of his own. He went with his dad and two brothers on a rafting/camping trip through the Grand Canyon. For 5 days they rafted down the river seeing all the amazing sites and camped along the river at night.






It sounds like a wonderful time was had by all and the brothers did a lot of bonding! They all even had nicknames, how cute! Miguel says he already misses it and wants to go back. He loves all outdoor activities so this was a GREAT trip for him!

Miguel and I took little Susanna to the pool for the first time! It did not go exactly as planned because our angel was a bit cranky and it was a little chilly outside. When I dipped her feet in the water she SCREAMED because it was so cold so that is as far as it went. She sure did look ADORABLE in her bathing suit and robe though huh?!?!?!
