Long time, lots to catch up!

So it's been quite a while since our last post, so you're expecting a long post, but we'll just have to see, I"m not exactly in a long post mood. I'll try and catch y'all up the best I can. Nov 12 Elizabeth was 2 months old, and had her wellness check up, she weighed in at 10 pounds!!! I was sooo happy she was growing well! She's 21 inches long(she's grown a whole 2 inches!!) she's still in the lowest quarter of the percentile for everything in her age group, but then so was I my whole life! Tony and I discussed our concern about her reflux and spitting up all the time, with the pediatrician, she suggested we try putting her on a hypoallergenic milk and lactose free formula, thinking she may be allergic to milk protein(which isn't so unlikely since I was as a baby) Unfortunately this formula is the most expensive formula out there!! She got her immunizations, which she did really well with, she only cried for a couple minutes then sucking on her bink she was fine! I was very impressed! That Sunday my friend Steph took our pictures for our Christmas card, we were going to do it at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building but it's closed on Sunday(which we should've known, but oh well) so we ended up doing them at the Conference Center. Elizabeth was horrible!! She screamed almost the entire time...bloody murder!! But Steph being the awesome photographer that she is, got some good ones we could use. Last Saturday, we got pictures done at Inkleys with my parents and brother(as we haven't had a family picture done, since like 2003 or 2004, I honestly don't even remember!) Elizabeth did a bit better. After we went to lunch at The new Texas Road House in Bountiful, then Tony and I came home and cleaned up our downstairs, as a couple of my friends from high school, Orion and Makell, and their little boy Brickton were coming over that evening to watch the sad BYU vs U of U game. Even though BYU lost we still had a good time, and nice visit. Now to Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday of the year! I was with Tony's family this year, and the food was really really good!! Especially the rolls, I had like four of them! Elizabeth showed off her adorable smile, and talking voice to everyone, she's getting so big so fast!! Tony's sister and her husband brought their new addition...a very cute pug puppy named Vinny!! Then we went up to my parents, and mapped out our plan for black friday, which was a pretty good success! My biggest downfall was Carter's, the entire store was %50 off!! But in the end I came home with money still in my wallet so it was a success! AND...as of yesterday I am all done Christmas shopping for my family and Tony!! we just have one more present to buy in Tony's family but I think we did good this year!! Well I think that pretty much catches you up!! Here's some photos just because if I don't post them I'll get in trouble!
