2 months

9 weeks!!

Well, we are finally turning a corner with this whole sleeping in the day and partying at night thing with Ms. Britann. I admit it has been a long process with many sleepless nights but she seems to be coming around. Last night she actually went 9 hours without a bottle!!! yeah!! The only problem is that she sleeps best when right next to mommy. I said I wouldn't do that but as all my plans usually go, I caved in!! She loves to snuggle, I actually think that she is going to be a great snuggle bunny for years to come because she is happiest all bundled up and right next to me. I didn't think I would be able to sleep this way but I guess I underestimated how tired I was because I snooze right along with her now. She is becoming such a happy baby now that some of the gas issues are behind us. I am actually getting her to coo now and she smiles like crazy at all of us crazy folks. She is also putting on the lbs! For a small gal she is gaining like crazy, she was up to 10 1/2 lbs at her appointment this week. She is in the 50th percentile for weight and height. She was 23 inches long. She is now taking at least 4 to 5 ounces of milk every 3 hours except at night where she is going about 8 or 9 hours. I am so glad to see her gaining weight finally.

As for Ms. Addie Blaire she is a big help and loves her baby sister! She kisses on her all the time and told me the other day that I was being mean to baby sister because she was crying. She is taking up for her already!!She is full of funny sayings these days to. She told my mom the other day that "she was giving her a headache" and that "she was hurting her ears!" when my mom was telling her something to do. She even walked out of the house the other day when it was raining and she said "I've got a bad feeling about this!" I love how her personality is developing more and more each day. She is using vocabulary that I have never heard before. She told me the other day that I was "making her nervous, and that I was making her jealous" not sure that she used them in the correct sense of the word but still impressed! She is still loving her school, she even got all the Disney princess dolls from dad the other day because she had gone all night without peeing in her diaper!! Hey that is a big deal around our house. We actually had forgotten to put a diaper on her that night, oops. She is trained but the night time is still a work in progress. Well anyway dad bought her these dolls and she has now named them all after the kids in her class. Even the boys! She plays with them all the time and we have school. She is the sweetest little thing and she just makes me smile all the time. I have not been so good at taking pictures here recently but here are a few I manged to take of the girls. I start back to work in pharmaceuticals next week so I am enjoying as much time with the girls this week. Luckily it will be flex time work so I can still get those days at home to hang out with them!

These are a few pictures that I bought the rights to from the girls first photo session with a photographer. She got some really great pictures I may have to go back and order a few more of them, it is always so hard to decide. I love that she was able to get a few of them together because it is way to hard to do by myself, a baby would end up on the floor if I did!

Addie Blaire had just been crying about getting her pictures taken and the baby had pooped and pee pee on me, oh about 3 times before this session was over. Oh the memories we will have!

I love this sweet picture of her sleeping even though I used one like this with her eyes open for the birth announcement this is still my favorite picture of her so far. My house is going to look like a shrine to my kiddos!

Just hanging out with my girls, Addie loves for baby sister to get her big girl bed.

One way to get baby sister to look at the camera...

I got this outfit from my friend Jennifer and it was so cute, I had to take some pictures in it. At least the girl has got some bling for now!

I took a few pictures of the girls in holiday gear for what I thought would be a Christmas card picture but it didn't quite work out. However, it was pretty comical and Addie was pretty full of Smarties when it was over so I guess she won't be disappointed!

Well I didn't do such a good job taking pictures at Thanksgiving this year. We spent the holidays with my family this year. However, G was in town earlier in the week and we met her for steaks one night. It was Mitch's idea of a perfect Thanksgiving meal.

This is my only Thanksgiving picture. I had intentions of taking pictures with my parents and I never seemed to get around to doing so. I guess we were too busy taking care of the kiddos to take any pictures. I'll have to do better at Christmas.

Aunt T and Nana watched the kids on Saturday so Mitch and I could go watch the Hogs beat LSU!! She said after spending the day with the kiddos she understands why I seem so crazy everytime she calls. I think the word she used was "constant" that would be a pretty good description! We even had a girls night on Friday night while the guys were hunting, (yes, Mitch went) but I don't think he did much time on the stand for those that know him well! We had a mani pedi night and I wish I had taken a picture of my toes, I let Addie do the painting and well I think I got my money's worth with her in charge.
