Ponder This: Two Months

How is my baby two months old already? Our new nephew Colby was born last week and it made it feel like just yesterday that we were in the hospital with a new baby. So much has changed since last month.

Here are some of the most memorable parts of the past month:

-Her "talking" and laughing

-The smiles she gives me when I first get her out of her crib in the morning

-Increased interest in toys, especially her elephant rattle

-Her first trip to church. She loves the singing time, but is less of a fan of the preaching ;)

-Our first Mother's Day. She drew me a picture and gave me flowers.

-Getting on new medicine for her reflux. She's now taking Prilosec and Axid and she's a whole new baby! She actually has fun and plays when she's awake now.

-She is only waking up once at night for feedings.

-While she's sleeping better at night, she is taking shorter naps during the day. That's a bummer for mom!

-Daddy's shingles... It was hard for all three of us when Daddy couldn't hold her for over a week. Praise The Lord that she started sleeping better that exact same week :)

-Taking her to Jollyville to meet teachers and students.

-Me officially resigning from RRISD to be a stay at home mom.

-She is starting to find her feet.

-She is doing very well with shopping trips. She usually sleeps through them. However, this is not the case for eating out yet...

-She is staring to bust out of her Swaddle Me blankets.

-Her first time sitting in her Bumbo seat. (Look at all those rolls!)
