Anniversary & Shad's 2nd Check-Up

Yesterday was our 3rd Anniversary!

Shad and I took a jog/walk in the morning, during which Jeff surprised me by getting off of work early! I came home to find his car in the garage, flowers and card on the table, dishes in the dishwasher, and him upstairs folding laundry. :) It was a wonderful surprise! And I loved having him home early!(I got him snickerdoodles and chocolate milk- something special from when we were dating)


After getting ready Jeff and I took Shad to his second check-up.

Shad took his first shots like a champ! He let out a good solid cry of surprise that sent me over the edge, but after I picked him up he melted the nurse with a big tear and perfect pouty face, and then fell soundly asleep in his car seat.

His 2 month stats were:

Weight: 11 lbs 10 oz (41st %)
Height: 24 1/4 inches long (96th %)
Head: 15.35 inches (53rd %)

After his appointment we went to Red Lobster to celebrate our Anniversary. I love their jumbo coconut shrimp! Hmmm...

Luckily Shad slept for a solid 6 hours after his appointment, so we were able to celebrate still.

After Red Lobster we went to Walmart to get a jar (as seen in the above picture.) We decided not to do gifts this year due to financial reasons, so Jeff came up with the idea of starting an Anniversary jar; In this jar we keep all our memorabilia throughout the year, such as ticket stubs, dinner receipts, pamphlets, etc. In this jar we also put extra money and spare change. On our next Anniversary we'll pull out the jar and spend time together going through the past year, and spending the money we've collected to celebrate. How awesome is that idea?! I loved it! Very creative and thoughtful. And we already have a dollar and Red Lobster receipt in it. :)


We spent the evening in comfy clothes watching a movie from the $5 bin at Walmart, and soothing little Shad. (He may have taken the shot like a champ and fallen asleep without Tylenol, but he was sore and had a rough evening, so we gave him some then.)

All in all we had a low-key but fun day. I love you hon, Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! Beck reacted the worst after his first set of shots. Since then he always seems normal for the rest of the day. You guys are too cute!
