Alice - 2 Months

I just need to take a moment and swoon over this adorable baby girl. Seriously, I'm seeping that ooey gooey motherly love that would make any non-parent gag. .....it's disgusting! ; )

You are the sweetest baby I've ever met! At two months old you laugh, giggle and coo like a baby straight from T.V. When you wake up and see me you laugh and smile for as long as you can forget about your hunger/wet diaper. It's adorable!

You're still eating 4 oz at a time and averaging about 24 oz a day. You've slept through the night a handful of times but normally wake up at least once a night. We've been getting to bed late so I'm not counting your midnight feedings! You're still sleeping a large part of the day but you're very interested in your surroundings when you're awake. You hate your tummy but not as much as your brother did!

Connor has stopped beating you and loves to find you. If you're sleeping he runs to the pack n play to find you. He loves to give you kisses and tries to give you your paci. He normally just ends up smashing it into your face of poking you in they eye. He tries. Sometimes he bends over your head and makes real soft noises at your face....I'm pretty sure he's mocking me!

It's hard to imagine what our family was like without you!

My Babies Bulleted

Connor

• Officially off the bottle - except when he steals A's and sneaks to the corner to suck it down. 
• Loves dancing to "Call Me Maybe"
• Loves going outside to play but thinks the only way out is with Ivy's leash in hand. 
• Has cut 4 teeth in the past month. 
• Points to the crib when he is ready to nap and runs to the refrigerator when he's hungry. 
• Wants to read all the time. Mostly But Not The Hippopotamus. 
• Climbs on and off the furniture all day. 
• Loves remotes. 

Alice

• Loves her sleep...and she's good at it. I love that she doesn't have to be rocked to sleep.
• Smiles and laughs occasionally
• Incredibly ticklish but doesn't seem to enjoy it! ; )
• Still eating 4ish ounces every 2-3 hours
• Hates being on the floor
• Still sleeping in our room
• Sweet and laid back

Wednesday

It's happened too many times already....I've been in my "jamas" well past 4 o'clock. I quickly jump in the shower so that when Steven gets home I don't look like the lazy slob I've been all day.

But not today my friends. We were going to do something...anything.

I showered, dressed myself and my babies and we got the hell outta Dodge, or the house, whatever.

First stop, Walmart.

I've been waiting on Alice's newborn pictures so I can send out her birth announcment. Better late than never, right? Well, Walmart will be Walmart. I couldn't pick up the pictures because I need a copyright release form. My aunt took the pictures....not a professional photographer. So I hauled two babies into Walmart for NOTHING! I could have spit bullets.

Next, McDonald's

My addiction to a large diet coke is ridiculous. It has to be a fountain drink and it has to be in a Styrofoam cup. I love a good Styrofoam cup. I reuse the cups at home. It's that bad. The good news is I just got the drink but the fries were calling my name.

Finally, Village Park.

This was an adventure. I pushed Alice in the stroller and Connor walked....and ran....in every direction but the one I wanted. We were all nice and sweaty from the humidity when A decided to see just how much her diaper could hold. It holds a lot...but not enough.  So we stepped off the trail and changed a diaper. C tried to take off running. I grabbed A and ran after him leaving the stroller behind. C lost a shoe, tripped on the sidewalk, A screamed some more and I decided it was time to head home. 30 minutes later and I was loading up the car. Had I been alone, it would have taken less than 5 minutes to get to the car. We weren't nearly as far away as it sounds.

Getting out was worth it but it was hard. Tomorrow we tackle Connor's 12 month appointment....yes he's 14 months. We're behind because of insurance issues and you know, birthing A.
