Shake, Rattle and Roll

Why I love mornings...

Little Chunky Monkey at Two Months!

Camryn has hit the two month mark, and I can see her growing before my eyes! She is starting to get those wonderful baby pudge rolls! She is now 11lbs, 9oz and 23" long-which is about the 65th percentile for her age. She is smiling up a storm. She smiles with her whole body, when she is happy, she squeaks and coos and kicks her legs. It makes the cries, the poopy diapers, the middle of the night wake ups all worth it, just to see those smiles! She had her two month shots the other day. She was pretty crabby for a day or two, but she is back to her old self now.

I just finished my first week back to work, and it's a real adjustment. I am glad to be working with my awesome customers, and making money again, but sometimes it's tricky when Camryn is being fussy and I have a customer on the phone. Luckily my customers are all understanding, and Camryn has mostly cooperated. I tell her if she wants nice things, she has to let mommy make some money :-)

Camryn had her first overnight trip this past weekend to our neighbors Scott and Gina's cabin. First we stopped at a winery for lunch, and went up to the cabin and relaxed. It was nice to get away. You would have thought we were going away for a month with how full our car was!

Bert and I are so happy and are loving our life with our sweet baby. He is a great hands on dad and I can't give him enough credit. He takes her out on Saturday mornings so they can have daddy/daughter time and I can get some much needed extra sleep!

How could you say no to this face?

Baby goes to the winery, but only mama had the wine!

Little Pumpkin's First Halloween

Camryn had her best buddies over for Halloween, and they all had a great time!

My Little Girly Girl

I can barely believe that my little peanut will be eight weeks old tomorrow! Part of me feels like she is still so "new" and part of me can't remember life without her. I am sad that my maternity leave is over on Friday but feel really lucky to get to work from home starting Monday, so I will still get to be home with her.

She is definitley a little girly girl. She loves a warm bath-which is funny because she she used to scream when we put her in the tub, and now she loves it in there and screams when we take her out! She seems to like when I dress her up in her outfits, including all of the bows! She likes it when I brush her hair and when I give her manicures. I am still to chicken to clip her nails so I file them, and call them her "manicures". Also she doesn't cry much, but when she does it's usually a girly little squeal, until she gets really mad and then watch out-it's loud!

Another thing she used to hate and now she loves is her swing-I am so glad she does, it's the only reason Bert and I get to eat dinner together in peace :-) She loves to sit in it-and sleep in it. As a matter of fact, lately she won't nap in her crib-only the swing. We have to work on that! Also about 25% of the time, she is sleeping through the night! Yay! I love those nights since I am still doing the late night feeding and Bert does the early mornings. I can't wait till it's every night, but I'll take what I can get.

We are really looking forward to Halloween this weekend. We are having the Harrison's and Mansfield's over. I can't wait to see the girls and all of the neighborhood kids in their costumes! I'm sure I will have some great pics to post!

Go Yankees!

Our Happy Baby...

Is starting to smile!
