2 mos.!

This is her expression, most of the time...


Time flies! My little girl is 2 mos. old today!! Hard to believe, yet at the same time, it seemslike she's been around a lot longer! If you notice, I took a picture of her today in the same outfitandsame spot that I did for her one month photo. We can really see how much she has changed! Her hair is so much longer! And still outa control! 2 barrettes in it and it still won't stay down!

2 month accomplishments:
~Working on sleeping consistently through the night. She does anywhere between 5-9 hours between feedings at night.
~Attempting to learn to like the bottle. So far no success. I've tried 3 different kinds. She'll do one suck, then just play with it, or just get really mad. I am praying she will eventually get it! Mama needs this!
~She takes 2-3 short naps, and one really long nap (usually at Bobby's nap time...which is heaven!).
~She loves to smile when you talk to her, and she is starting to coo. She has laughed 2 times, but hasn't done it in awhile.

I must say, those first couple weeks, I was thinking we were crazy to have our kids so close together. I definitely had some baby blues. But now that she is napping well, things are going so much better! It helps that Bobby is talking more and can communicate what he wants. That has cut down on tantrums, tremendously! He is such a good big brother. He talks real sweet to Lily, and gives her besos all the time. Yesterday he was trying to 'fix' her bouncy seat for her, and tipped it on it's side...with her in it! Thankfully I had buckled her in, which sometimes I don't, otherwise she would have fallen onto the tile floor!

I got brave last night and bathed both of them together. It went ok, but I don't think I'll be doing that again until she is a little older! Bobby accidentally pored water in her mouth, he's a little crazy in the bathtub!

I can't wait for Christmas this year, we have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for! We will be traveling home to Sugar Land, I can't wait!

I can't believe she's 2 months! I can't wait to meet her! I can totally relate with the whole bottle thing...still no luck with Brayden either! I guess they know what they like:). Can't wait to see you in a few weeks! Miss you!
