It's almost Christmas!

It's hard to believe that it's that time of year again! And let me tell you, it's a good thing Santa takes care of everything, because I have no idea where I would find the time to take care of anything right now with this new baby! Can you say, "Got your hands full?"...You bet I do! But despite the hard work, I am loving every minute of it!
McKenna is now 9 weeks old, a whopping 11 pounds 13 ounces (60%-tile) and 24.5 inches long (95%-tile)! She is getting very strong, holding her head and cooing up a storm! It boggles my mind how quickly babies grow. She got her 2 month shots on monday and we survived, though neither one of is looking forward to getting the next round!
McKenna had a blast with her aunties who were here for Thanksgiving! We all enjoyed a wonderful turkey dinner (thank you, Brian) and spent the following morning hiking it off at Torry Pines Reserve. Grandma Nancy was here over this past weekend for a short visit, and Grandma Harper is arriving tomorrow for a holiday visit, then she will travel with McKenna, Izzie and I to Sacramento where we will spend the holidays. Daddy will be joining us on the 23rd since he has to work.
Izzie is healing nicely from her surgery, getting harder each day to keep her calm. She's getting a little stir crazy being cooped up all day long, but she will live. Hope all is well for you, our friends and family...have a safe holiday season and we send our love to you!
