InfantSee

Joel went to his eye DR appointment today, part of the InfantSee program where certain Dr's do exams on infants under 1 year for free to check their eyes. Joel was perfect! Very cooperative, didn't mind having his eyes dilated and she said everything looked great! Yeah Joel!!

End of November stats

I have a first year calendar for Joel. It hangs in his room and I write daily events on it as well as how he eats, sleeps, plays and grows each month. At the end of November Josh and I weighed and measured our little man.
Weight: 22 lbs 4 oz (50%)
Length: 30 inches (50-75%)
HC: 17.75 (10-25%)
These stats fall basically where he's been. I also got his feet measured yesterday while we were walking in the mall, we stopped at Stride Rite...they are a size 4 now. He is wearing size 18 month sleepers and size 12-18 month clothing. He has an eye DR appointment this Saturday. It's a free program for children under 1 year of age called Infant See. Just to check their eyes to be sure they are problem free and off to a good start in life ;O)
On the 12th we'll be getting his Christmas and 1 year pictures taken at Sears.
His new thing is saying wusty for Rusty and ammy for Sammy...so adorable! Doing Patty Cake and signing more all the time, LOL!

Happy Thanksgiving to all tomorrow

Josh and I are hosting a Thanksgiving dinner here for some family and friends. We did it last year too and had a blast. Lots of work, but lots of fun too!
This will be our 1st Thanksgiving as a family of 3...we are so excited!
Josh is on call tomorrow, Friday and this weekend so hopefully he won't be called in during our dinner.

Also, Happy Birthday to me! I celebrated my 33rd Birthday Monday Nov. 23rd! Josh threw a party for me on Saturday the 21st it was great! His parents were able to attend so that was really nice too!

So, Happy Thanksgiving!
Eat, Drink & Be Merry!!
