2 Months

Sigh. How did that happen?

2 Month Checkup

Kate had her 2 month checkup today, she's 11lbs 12oz and 23 1/2 inches long. 75th percentile for both height and weight.

She also had her shots and shockingly wasn't too happy. Three shots and one oral medicine. We also gave Dash a flu vaccine, and I'm still on the fence about it. The determining factor was The Little Gym, it's really the only time he's around other kids. They had the nasal vaccine instead of the shot, so we got that, and I didn't realize at the time that the nasal one is the live vaccine. So I hope he doesn't have any problem with that. As much as I hate getting him shots I feel a lot better about a dead vaccine than a live one. The shot is dead. Boo. Oh, well. Too late now. Hopefully he'll be fine. Kate's too young to get one and I doubt John and I will. Dash is the one who licks toys and stuff. :)

8.5 Weeks...

Kate smiling at her Daddy...





Dash being a cheeseball...





I was playing with the white balance setting on this one, and it's way off, but I still like it. And I'm pretty sure he was about to whack me with that frog behind his head...



Happy Friday everyone!! Thank GOODNESS It's Friday!!!

It's ALIVE!!!

Thank God for grace periods. That seriously made my day. We were able to reinstate www.johnandcolleendixon.com (for a hundred and twenty freaking dollars...) but it LIVES!! I'm going to dual post, I know I'm lame but I can't let that one go. So just follow me on whichever one you want, I promise you won't miss any posts regardless of which blog you follow. At least that way I'll have one giant blog that has my whole life history on it and one that will forever be saved even if my stupid website goes down again... :)

Kate's Super-Cute Baby Blanket

My BFF from Bentley made Kate THE most adorable baby blanket.... See?



And the DETAILS... oh the details...



Yes, that's a crocheted bunny. And there are like 6 of them.

As Dash would say "teeny... tiny... baby flowers!!"





Kate: "Don't you like my blanket???"



Now head over to Debbi's blog and see how ridiculously hard this puppy was. It makes me even MORE appreciative. You rock Debbi! Fair Isle crocheted bunnies aren't easy!!

A New Beginning...

So apparently, when John lost his wallet at the beginnning of my maternity leave and we had to cancel all of our credit cards it synched perfectly with total choice hosting renewing my domain name. So www.johnandcolleendixon.com and www.cakesbycolleen.com are no more. :( The hosting service renewed, just not the domain name. So I'm hoping I can get the hosting service hooked up to a different site or something and get all my stuff back. Otherwise I'm just not going to think about what I lost. I'm sure plenty. :)

So I needed a different blog anyway, I kind of hated that the Team Dixon blog was connected to my personal website just because of stuff like this. So here we are. :) I made this one public, and even if my old blog pops back up this will be the new one. If any of you know anyone who checks on my blog and doesn't post, please send this blog on along to them.

So here's to a new beginning!! Ah... now I have to actually figure out blogger. :)
