We have been spending some days down in Delta with my mom. It's been great to get to have some quiet time with Sarah and my mom before the rest of the family showed up. But it was fun to see the whole family on Christmas day before Rachel, Zac and Sarah headed back to Phoenix.

My mom reserved the church across the street to use the gymnasium to get some of the energy out of the kids.  They ran around, broke a pinata and put on a Christmas caroling show.  Of course, I didn't get any pictures to document the fun, so you just have to believe me!

Brie's first cross-country ski

Brie's tucked away in Mat's jacket staying nice and cozy while we ski on some cross-country trails up in Ogden.



We skied around for 2 1/2 hours with her just sleeping against Mat's chest.  It was a fun day!

2 Month Check Up

Brie's Stats

Weight:  11.0 pounds - 60th percentile

Length:  23 1/2 inches - 90th percentile

Head diameter:  15 1/2 inches - 75th percentile

And she's healthy baby.  Yay!

Awesome find on Craigslist!

Last week we found 6 items for sale on Craigslist for $15.  Three swaddleme sleepsacks (one of which is the above one) and 3 regular sleepsacks.  The swaddleme sleepsacks are awesome!  No longer do I have to refold the receiving blanket a bunch of times a night after Brie has gotten herself loose.  These swaddleme blankets have velcro, so it's pretty much like we are putting her in a straight jacket!  She sleeps so well in it which helps us sleep well.  Between this and her sheep sleep machine (which was a wonderful gift), life is good at the Levine house.

Ahhh, more Brie

Brie loves floating around in the bath water.  We've found it to be much more enjoyable to bathe her with us instead of in the sink.  She did not enjoy those experiences and neither did we since she let us know she wasn't happy by crying loudly.

7 1/2 weeks

Is that all Brie is? Not quite 2 months old, yet it feels like we've had her forever and I can hardly remember life before her!









We had a busy Friday...met up with some friends from the Parkway who have a daughter that just turned a year old over Thanksgiving and then we went to our friend, Margaret's, jewelry sale.  Brie was tuckered out after such a full day and had a full 6 hour sleep stretch last night.  Yay!
