4 months!

It's hard to believe G has been in our lives for 4 months now.  It 

has been a crazy 4 months, so glad we have made it through.  She is a perfect little angel.  She is changing everyday now.  Her appointment isn't until Friday, so I don't have all of her measurements.  We had a doctor's appointment last week because she has thrush and it just won't go away.  She weighed 8lbs 15oz then.  So I am guessing she will be 9lbs today, maybe a little over.  She is the size of an average 2 month old.  She may be a little behind in size and development for a while.  The doctor's say by 2 she will be all caught up.  She is smiling a lot and loves it when you talk to her.  We have many conversations now...I coo and she coo's.  She makes the most adorable noises.  She is also a very good sleeper so far.  She has been consistently going to sleep around 9 or 9:30 and sleeping until 4 or 4:30.  That has been so nice...so different than T. She loves to watch T run and make funny faces.  She puts up with a lot from him.  He still doesn't get how small she is.  And when he talks to her he has to put his face right up to hers, so they are nose to nose.  I don't quite get why but he does it all the time. I love watching them interact.  I am trying to tell myself to enjoy her when she is small because I know it doesn't last very long.  But she has been small now for 4 months, a lot longer than T ever was.  I am getting kind of anxious for her to put on some muscle and lbs so she can at least hold her head up.   But she is just the cutest little girl and we just have to let her grow on her own time line.  This girl definitely has her own time line. 

The perfect day...well almost

I woke up yesterday to my little son's footsteps running down the hall to Daddy making breakfast in the kitchen. A special breakfast of cinnamon rolls, bacon, eggs and strawberries.  My baby girl was still sleeping next to me.  The sun was shining threw the blinds and it was Mother's day.  We enjoyed a beautiful day together as a family.  We relaxed in bed, we ate a great food, we went to church and we hung out with Grandma's, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.  I only had to change two diapers.  D was on top of everything, from doing dished, getting the kids dressed, cooking and everything else.  That is what I call a mother's day full of love, laughter and relaxation for Mom and work for Dad.  I couldn't be more lucky to have a husband that made my day so special and two beautiful children that I love so much.  The only thing that made it not so perfect was the crying fit from T while trying to get him to go to nursery and the crying fit from G at my parents house.  I guess they didn't know it was Mother's day and there is no crying allowed.

Blessed Day

We also had G's blessing yesterday.  It was a busy weekend trying to get ready for everyone that was coming over after for lunch.  We were so happy everyone could come and support our family and baby G.  We had little over 30 people there.  It was busy and loud at our house, but we enjoyed the love of family.  I forgot to take pictures of G in her out fit.  I was only able to take this quick shot of our exhausted little girl at the end of the day right before PJs and bedtime.  We are blessed to have this little girl in our life and to have all our family and friends around to help love her and watch her grow!
