I should have done this a long time ago…

For our anniversary Clint let me pick out a new camera.  I had a Nikon Coolpix which I liked, but the shutter speed was so slow and I stayed constantly aggravated because I would miss all the good photo opps.  I went to Wolf Camera in Homewood after consulting with lots of friends and bought a Nikon SLR camera.  I absolutely LOVE IT!  I should have bought this a long time ago.  Here are some of the first pictures I took with it.  They offer classes starting back in January to teach you how to use it.  I really need to do this to learn everything there is to know to take great pictures.  It came with a DVD to watch and I have had it on my list to do, but it keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list.  I cannot find time to even update my blog anymore.  What did Clint and I do before children???

These are pictures from November 13th at David and Becca’s house across the street.  They love playing in the huge pile of leaves!  Clint even had fun doing it too!

Sarah LOVES bath time.  She never cries and really enjoys the warm water.  She is so much more alert these days and smiling often!  Her little smile just melts my heart every time!

This picture (below) was taken on November 18th, the day of her 2 month check up.  She had a great report from Dr. Simpson.  She weighed 11 lbs. 8 oz. (85th percentile) and was 23 1/4 inches long (95th percentile) and her head was 15 1/2 inches.  She has really shot up in her length, which I was surprised.  She is growing so fast already, I wish she would slow down!!!  We were so thankful for a great report from the Dr. and to see how well she is doing.  He recommended for her to continue taking her Zantac for her refulx and to continue to put rice cereal in her bottle since it seems to be helping.  We will not go back until she is 4 months old in January.  It was sad because she got her first round of immunizations.  She got three shots in her legs and was so content and then in a split second was screaming.  It was so sad and pitiful, I wish I could take the pain away for her.  I know they will do much good for her though.

I tried to take advantage of them already being dressed up for church for a photo session, but it was not happening!

See what I mean about how sweet Haines is to her.  He told me the other day that she was not my baby, she was HIS baby.  He kept arguing with me until I gave in and said “ok!”  I hope it stays this way, if not I can look back on these times and cherish the memories! :)
