Happy Thanksgiving/Happy Birthday

We want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for with the addition of Mari into our family. She is such a little blessing!

My aunt gave Mari the cutest little Thanksgiving outfit and it has a Turkey on the butt - so we had to get a picture of it!

Plus we want to with Cory a Happy 29th Birthday! He has been amazing husband and now he is an amazing father and it's so fun to celebrate as a family! Although I got off pretty easy this year I think. I didn't even have to make a birthday cake  because he will be getting pumkpin pie for dinner at his parents! :-)  Plus who needs a birthday cake when you have this adorable little cupcake! Oh how we love her!

AND - Mari is three months old today! I tried to grab some pictures this morning because she was all smiles, until I took the camera out. Then I get the "huh" face.

We hope everyone enjoys a fabulous day surrounded by family and friends.

The nap picture doesn't usually happen until AFTER a large meal has been consumed - but in this household it happens at 10am.

2-Month Check up

Mari had her two-month check up today, which means she got three shots. :-(

Mari impressed the doctor with how well she holds her head up, how much she likes to stand, and especially how much she smiles and 'coos'. Apparently she had a LOT to say to the doctor today and she tried to hamm it up in hopes of not getting shots!!!

But poor baby girl still had to get them. She was even smiling as the nurses came in and was showing the nurses how she likes to kick her legs. She is definitely going to be a TALKER and a MOVER I have a feeling!!!

She of course cried during the shots, but even had some smiles by the time we left, so that made this mommy feel a lot better. We then quickly stopped up to see Justin at the hospital and Mari and Justin both took little cat-naps while Heidi and I chatted.

Tonight she has been cuddling with daddy, which doesn't seem to be bothering either of them!

For her stats: Mari weighed 12 pounds 15 ounces and was 23 inches long.

And everyone LOVES her squeezable cheeks!

Happy Halloween

We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween.

Mari got to dress up two nights in a row to be able to hit all the grandparents! We also wanted to make sure we could meet up with my nieces and nephews to get a picture of all the kids!
