BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!

I'm 2 months old today!!!

For Makayla's birthday we went to the doctor and got shots. The shots definitly weren't what she wanted for her birthday, but she got through them. They also did her well baby exam and here are her stats:

2 Months / Birth

Weight: 9lb 14 ounces (26%) / 7lb 5 ounces (40%)

Height: 23 3/4 inches (93%) / 20.5 inches (80%)

Head Circ: 15 1/8 inches (51% ) / 13 3/4 inches (47%)

She's been practicing her smiles and is getting really good at them. She's also cooing up a storm, the sounds this girl makes are so cute, you cant help laughing at her. She's also started playing with her binkie and is figuring out how to pull it out and put it back in (as long as it's close to her mouth she can put it back in) It's so much fun to sit and play with her. I cant wait to see what her next trick will be.

Vacation

Makayla went on her first vacation. Ryan headed off to Colorado for a big elk hunt and I really didnt want to stay home alone for a week, so we went home to Pennsylvania to see grandma and grandpa. It was perfect timing with the fall folliage at it's peak and the weather was perfect (we missed the snow storm that came through Rexburg). Crazy how you can live somewhere for so long but it takes a trip years later to completely realize the beauty that was always around you. It was Makayla's first plane ride and she even got her wings and a certificate stating her first flight and what kind of plane she was on. It really was pretty cute. She did great on the plane, I was so worried she was going to be the screaming baby everyone was frustrated with, but she slept instead.

We went elk "hunting" at the Elk reserve and I think we ended up seeing more elk than the hunters saw in Colorado. We saw 18 elk, 28 white tail deer and a zillion squirrels, not counting the 3 deer that we saw at the house.

All that elk hunting wore Makayla out!!!

She had so much fun playing with grandma and grandpa, even though grandpa didnt want to be left alone with her. I think he was really afraid he might have to change her diaper...

3 generations, too bad we didnt have Mimi in the photo, it really would have been neat to have a 4 generation picture.
It was a great vacation and was fun seeing everyone. I think it should be tradition, when Ryan goes hunting, we go to PA and play...
