Santa x's 2!

Well we attempted to visit Santa on Sunday. They had Santa and Mrs. Claus after mass in the Parish Hall. We went and the only one that didn't cry was Elizabeth. :) Andrew wouldn't get within a ten feet range of him and Ella went over crying in my arms. So no pictures from that. The church took a family picture that we still need to go and pick up in the office. (I am sure that one will be great! Ha!) Later that day we went to ride the Christmas Train in Fort Myers and they had Santa there too. This time went much better and Andrew talked to him and told him that he wanted a Spider Man watch. He has been talking about that for weeks. He saw it in one of the ads and hasn't stopped talking about it since. Ella was still a little hesitant but went by Santa with Daddy holding her. So we did get a few pictures of them with Santa.







Elizabeth hit the two week mark and has been a little more lively. We are wondering if the good sleeping is going to last. (Fingers crossed.) She still is a very good baby and LOVES the pacifier!! So she is definitely a pacifier baby like Andrew where Ella would have none of it and was such a hard baby to console and get to sleep. So we are happy that the pacifier has been accepted! Haha!! She went to the dr. on Monday for her two week check and measured 20.75 inches (75th percentile) and weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz. (25th percentile). She is a tall and skinny little thing but I am sure will fatten up in no time. She gained nearly whole pound since leaving the hospital!! Way to go Elizabeth!

The rest of the family continues to be adjusting well and the kids still just LOVE her. Eric and I often joke if Elizabeth makes it through her first year it will be a miracle the way these kids have to kiss and hug her every time they pass her. It is really so sweet. We are just gearing up for Christmas and have one excited little boy on our hands. It is so much fun!
