Views From A Vet's Wife: Christmas 2011

We had a really great Christmas this year with lots of new friends! Matt was on call this weekend (being the new guy, you get the holidays) so we had to stick around Lexington. He did get called to a few places in the morning, but thankfully the day was slow and he didn't get called in after that.

My friend and I went to church early with Caylee because they asked Caylee to be there a little early to get wrapped in her swaddling clothes (see previous post). Then both of our husbands had finished their calls and were able to make it and joined us. After church Matt and I took Caylee out to a friend's house (also clients of Matt's) where they had lots of food! We visited with them for a few hours and had a really great time. They were so sweet to include us with the rest of their family. After that, we came back and headed over to Ann and Gabe's place (friends we went to church with... they live on the farm with us and he works with Matt). We visited and had more food there! We had a really great time at both places and enjoyed the company so much! Oh.. and Ann made THE BEST Derby Pie (it was my first time eating it), but it was SO good and I can't wait to make it for us sometime...

Yesterday, Caylee was also exactly 2 months old! Time flies when you're having fun :) She is doing so well. She still gets up once during the night to eat, but our afternoon naptime has gotten SO much better. She won't always sleep during naptime, but she'll hang out in her room and babble to herself. She started smiling a few days ago and she'll smile when I tell her she's "so pretty and so smart". :) She is starting to get a little more coordinated and will lay on her mat and hit her rings around for a while if I am doing other things.

Here are some pics of the weekend....
