Seeing Santa!

Today we had a very busy day. First, Dallas and Paige came over and picked Evan and I up. We all headed to West Edmonton Mall for some shopping and to go visit Santa. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that we didn't have to wait long for a photo with Santa. The little girl that went before Paige wanted nothing to do with Santa - in fact, the mother came back after I finished to get a refund. Paige was a little apprehensive, but she was pretty good. As for Evan - well, it was just another stranger holding him.



Afterwards, we did some more shopping and had some lunch before heading to Evan's 2 month check-up with his pediatrician. Evan's doctor was running late, so Dallas and Paige came in to join us. Dallas tells me that Paige was concerned about the doctor checking out Evan. He's doing really well. Evan's really strong and he now weighs 12 pounds 8 ounces. On the way home, I was contemplating not going to bookclub tonight, but Dallas offered to stay with Evan and try to get him started on taking a bottle. I figured an opportunity like this wouldn't come up very often. After we had dinner, Dallas got ready to feed Evan while I pulled a disappearing act. It was very nice to get out to book club knowing that Evan was in good hands. He didn't eat very much from the bottle, but we'll keep working on it.

As for the rest of this week - I think we're sticking close to home since the weather is going to be so crummy!
