Perry & Ella's First Christmas!
Look at all our presents!
Ella thought Perry had more presents than her..."WHAT?!?!"
Teethers and Baby Einstein stuff
Look at all the cool things we got!
Presents for Daddy from Perry & Ella
Our very cute Christmas PJs (they say "Mommy's Cutest Gift")

December 27
We went to the doctor today to get Perry's hemangioma on her finger checked out.
We were referred to a pediatric plastic surgeon/hand specialist and have an appointment with him tomorrow at St. John's.
On a happier note...the girls were weighed again:
Perry weighs 8 pounds 9 ounces
Ella weighs 8 pounds 4 ounces
They are growing, growing, growing!
Visit from Great Uncle Mark and Great Aunt Beverly
We make them hold their own bottles now (not really)
December 28
We saw the pediatric plastic surgeon today and Perry got a steroid shot in her finger.
The steroids are supposed to prevent the hemangioma from getting bigger and we are to report back in 2 weeks.
The doctor was very impressed with Perry's bravery as she got the shot...hardly any crying at all!
