I'm a growing girl!

At 2 months old, I'm 9lbs 13oz, 22.5 inches.

Doc says I'm perfect, but we already knew that didn't we? :)

I also had to get three shots... THREE!! No fun. But I was a pretty good girl I guess. Let's hope it doesn't hurt me too bad tonight. My next appointment is December 8th.

My First Vacation

Last weekend, mommy and daddy took me down to the beach for a long weekend. We stayed with Grammi and Gramps in Perdido Key. I had a great time! We ate at Lulu's, looked for shells on the beach, watched the Bama game at some friends' house, did a little shopping at the Wharf and just hung out. I also slept for 7-8 hours, 4 nights in a row while down there! I did really well in the car going down there and back, and only cried when I was hungry. It was a great trip and I can't wait to go back!

What I love about you at 2 months

Dear Sadie, my sweet girl, you are two months old today, and here's what I love about you...

  • You calm down easily... Most of the time
  • Watching you learn how to smile
  • Watching you when something catches your eye and you stare at it forever
  • Hearing daddy sing and talk in baby voices to you
  • Enjoying you get mesmerized by things
  • How your newborn outfits finally fit you at one month old, and sadly how fast your are outgrowing your newborn outfits
  • When you raise your head to look at the world around you
  • How your yawns make me yawn
  • How your smiles make me smile
  • Your noises: poots, sneezes, yawns, grunts, blowouts, giggles
  • When you "squeak"
  • Our laps walking around the pool to calm you down
  • When you breathe in my ear
  • Holding you while we swing on the porch swing
  • That you are already independent in your own way
  • That you love being on your changing table
  • Dressing you up in cute outfits
  • Taking tons of pictures of you, and you actually smiling for them
  • How curious you are about your surroundings
  • Wiping your tears away
  • Wrapping you up in my arms
  • When I know you're at the end of a growth spurt
  • When I touch your chin and nose while making funny noises to make you smile
  • When you look up at me while you're feeding
  • The way you're confidently holding your head up already
  • When you're in a "cozy" mood
  • How everyone says how beautiful you are, and they mean it
  • How you reach out for the monkey and the rings on your activity mat
  • The way you make grammi and granddad light up when they're around you
  • How great you are on car-rides
  • How you've taken to a very specific paci
  • The way you look when you're swaddled, like a little burrito
  • When you smile at me, like you know who I am
  • That you're on the verge of giggling
  • Watching you grow before my very eyes

Love, your mommy

Yay me!

I'm sleeping through the night already! For the last week, I've slept 7-8 hours straight (roughly 10pm to 6am). Then I eat and then go back to sleep for another 3 hours! Mom and dad are so proud of me!

A new friend

Some of Grandpa and Grami's friends down at the beach gave me this doll this weekend. We watched the Bama game (and some of the Florida game) at their house and I was so tired by the end of the night that all I wanted was my new friend. Thanks Andy and Mary!

Baby Bling

So, mommy found her baby bracelet in her jewelry box and decided to give it to me! We aren't entirely sure who gave her the bracelet, maybe her Mamaw Lester, but it sure does look good on me! Thanks mom!

What should I be?

Halloween is fast approaching and I have no idea what I should be, there are so many choices.

I think as long as Mommy doesn't put me in the air freshener or the whoopie cushion, I'll be ok.

What do you think I should be for Halloween?
