Backtracking

Well, here is the latest installment in the life (well, technically the catching-up) of October. I don't want to bore you all with another rediculously long, boring post, so I figured I would just fill you in on a few key details of Toby's first couple of months, and then fill the rest with pictures (since I know that's what you're all really here for, anyway). So here you go:

Nov. 16: Toby's birthday!! :) 8 lbs, 12 oz. and 21 in. long at birth.

First time being weighed.

With Mommy and Daddy for the first time :)

Nov. 18: Found out Toby was mildly jaundiced, and might not be able to come home on time. Toby did get her first professional pictures taken in the hospital today, though.

Smile! Well, something like that...

Nov. 18: We are cleared to go home, but will have to have bloodwork done for a bit to keep track of the jaundice. Toby leaves the hospital weighing 8 lbs, 4 oz.

Ready to go :)

Nov. 19: Went to the hospital in the AM to get Toby's bloodwork done again. Got a call later saying we'd have to go back again, because her biliruben levels were slightly lower, but still needed to be montiored.

Going to the hosptial.

Nov. 20: Went back to the hospital again for bloodwork. I feel so bad seeing her little feet get pricked so many times! :( We get a call later that day telling us everything is ok now, and she won't need anymore bloodwork for a while! :)

Nov. 22: Toby's umbilical cord stump falls off on its own.


Nov. 24: Toby's first doctor's appt. She now weighs 9 lbs, 16 oz. and everything is good. :)

On the way to the doctor's.

Nov. 27: Toby's first Thanksgiving.

Momma's lil turkey :)

Dec. 1: Toby gets her first real bath (not a sponge bath), and is LOVING it!

Hey, this isn't so bad!

I think I could get used to this!

Sweet!


Snug as a bug in a rug :)

Dec. 17: Toby's one month check-up. Apparently she's eating very well because she now weighs 11 lbs, 4 oz. and is 23 in. long now! Everything else is normal (yay!).

Dec. 19: Toby smiled (for real, not gas!) for the first time, and laughed at us!

How cute!

Ha, ha, Daddy... You're so funny!

Dec. 25: First Christmas! Busy, busy!

I don't think I like this monkey suit...

My hat is falling down, Mommy!

Christmas Eve with Gramma Peg & Uncle Mickey :)

Breakfast with Gramma El.

Later in the day with my Gramma Theresa.

Thank goodness they took me out of that dress!

Merry Christmas, everyone!!

Dec. 31: Toby is wide-eyed and bushy-tailed, and incredibly awake at the stroke of midnight, to ring in the New Year with Mommy and Daddy!


Happy New Year!!

Jan. 14: Toby meets her first new friend, Maddie, and her Great-Grammy, all in one day!

Chillin' with my homie :)

Me and Great-Grammy.

I think that's about it on the important dates so far from the last two months. If I've missed anything, I do apologize, but hey, it's a lot to remember so clearly!
