Two Months Old!!




My little lady turned two months old on October 28th, I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone!! We went to dinner with her Nana and Papa to Old Spaghetti Factory to celebrate. She dozed through much of the meal but I am sure she still felt celebrated.

Emersyn continues to change on a weekly basis. We went to her two month dr. appt. on Thursday and she weighs 12lbs exactly. She has grown another two inches, putting her at 24 1/4 inches, which is the 97th percentile for height. Her weight is 79th percentile and her head is 67th. So overall, she is a good healthy sized little girl!! She eats like a champ (obviously!) and is doing well both nursing and taking a bottle. It is fun to be able to pump bottles for her and let other people feed her.

Her latest fun milestones include cooing and "talking" to us. Her most alert time is after she has eaten and has been changed. She smiles all the time and is a very happy girl. One of her favorite things to do is lay on Mommy and Daddy's bed because she gets to lay on her side when we are there. She loves laying on her side, she just sucks her binky and looks very content and happy. She is kicking her arms and legs a bunch and discovering her hands, she likes sucking them as seen in the picture above.

Today she is at her Nana and Papa's for the afternoon. I know that they like to spend quality time with her so I asked if they wanted to hang out while I cleaned up the house a bit. I miss her so much and can't wait to pick her up in about 3 1/2 hours. I know she is in good hands but I still miss her!!

Next week on the 12th, we leave to visit my best friend and her husband and baby!! It will be fun to go on a little getaway with Brett and Emersyn and also get to visit with our friends! Boise is such a nice flight too, it seems by the time you take off and get your drinks, you are descending and getting ready to land!

On Halloween Emersyn was a ladybug. We took her down to Albany to visit her great grandparents. Her Great Grandma Stanton lives in an assisted living facility and Emersyn was the star of the show at lunchtime. We had to stop at every table in the lunch room because people wanted to see her. Half the people thought she was a boy but that is to be expected when she is dressed in something gender neutral, although a LADY bug to me sounds like a LADY. It was really fun though and I knew that she would light up so many of the old people's day. Plus, her great grandma got to show her off which is always fun too. After that we went over to her other Great Grandparent's house and hung out there for a bit. Halloween night we stayed home and didn't do much. Next year I am sure we will go out to a mall or something and trick or treat but this year we enjoyed a quiet evening at home.

Have a great week everyone!
