She is such a great little baby. She has been only waking up once or twice per night, and even not crying very much. I usually wake up before she cries, when she first starts fussing.
Last week was a busy week for us. We celebrated Mother's Day on Sunday- daddy took the girls for Sunday brunch at Creekside, so nice. We went there after going to church. We have found a church that we really like, and have been attending service for the past three weeks.
On Monday, May 13, Allie went for her two month appointment. She is lifting her head pretty good, and taking in the view around her. She started noticing loud noises, and following voices really well. She has also started talking quite a bit. Bryan and I favorite's Saturday morning routine is to put Allie in her gym and watch her talk up a storm. It is truly such an amazing time in our lives.
But I digress- the Dr. appointment went ok- she had her first shots, and while she did really good, mama did not do so well. I cried with her, when she cried, but I had read that nursing her right after it was the best thing to do, so I made sure she was hungry right before it.
She did good- no fever, no reactions, just a bit sleepy. She was weighting 11 lbs 3 oz, and measuring 22 1/2 inches, and she is on the 50% percentile.
On Tuesday, we had a nice trip to the Zoo, with two other moms and their little boys. We had a great time, as it was a beautiful day.
She was dressed up as a little monkey :) we had a picnic, and enjoyed seeing some of the new additions to the zoo, including the baby elephant and baby monkey, Augustus.
On the way back, we stopped by Daddy's work for a quick visit. Allie started grabbing into things, like my necklace and shirt. You can really see it on the photo below, how she grabs on to Daddy's shirt.
On Wednesday, we went to a Baby Clothes consignment sale, and we got a few new outfits for baby girl. She is growing so fast, some of her outfits are not fitting her anymore. We grabbed a few items, but one of the things I was most excited about was the Mother Goose book of lullabies. Since I didn't grow up here, I don't know many lullabies in English. This little book should do the trick.
I also got Dr. Seuss's Knox in Sox. I read that for her yesterday, and boy, it was a tough tongue twister. She was laughing as I read the book, probably because she knew I was in trouble reading it fast, like any toddler would :)
On Thursday, Grandpa Dennis arrived for a visit. We went to pick him up in the airport, and had a nice visit. Grandpa spoiled Allie with a brand new outfit, and baby girl wore it to church on Sunday.
We had a nice visit, and yesterday, we went for a long walk in the park before we had to take Grandpa to the airport.
Today, we visited the Babies group again in Silverton, and Allie girl is weighing 11 lbs 8 oz. She was talking up a storm this morning, and smiling a lot. Here is a picture of one of her beautiful little smiles.
Allie continues to sleep with her arms up, as you will see from the picture below. This is one of the cute pajamas we got her from the consignment sale. We no longer need the swaddles, but we are picking up a few more pajamas here and there, like this bubblegum one :)
Love you all- fortunate to share this amazing experience with all of you,
Mama Rodick
