More Summer!

Thanks Grandma Corier for this amazing cross stitch! I loovvee it, so does Sum (clearly). I can't wait to hang it with the other white frames in her room! We have really talented Grandma's! I need to dedicate a post to what Grandma P has done for us too, remind me to do that!
Poor girl got shots like I mentioned last post. Her battle wounds hurt, she didn't feel well last night but she still was cute as a button. I really don't like giving her that many shots at once. I don't know what I was thinking except that I have been paranoid of her getting sick so I thought I would just try all of them at once and I now see that I might want to space them out because she was really drowsy, feverish and upset last night, it scared me a little. Look at those legs...yes I try to chew on them daily.
She likes to pose. Ps that blue toy laying next to her, ya, she picked that up and put it in her mouth today! I thought I had a genius baby on my hands but I think she was just resting her hand on it and the saliva from her hand stuck on the toy and when she went back for a taste of hand she got some toy instead on accident. But that's probably what she wants me to think...
Heading to the Dr. she obviously has no idea what was about to happen to her poor chunky legs!

In other news I swept and mopped the floors just now! First time in I'm to embarrassed to say how long! I feel like I'm on top of the world, those ugly tiles never looked almost creamier! I need to do laundry but that would require me leaping over the sleeping baby to get the clothes so I will sit here and drink my pepsi and think about how awesome I am for all the floor cleaning.

2 months!

Can you believe it? It's crazy that my baby is 2 months old already! She is the light of our lives, our worlds literally revolve around her and we love it!
She got 2 shots today and is now sleeping peacefully. Hopefully she won't have a very bad reaction to them? I didn't cry when she got her shots because I know it's good for her so I don't let myself. She on the other hand screamed for a while but she was smiley again after a little while. She is strong and I know this because the Dr. told me so.

The doctor came into the room laughing because Summer is sooooo healthy aka BIG. She said that Summer is a strong, healthy, robust baby. I didn't know Sum was so big because she doesn't have a lot of rolls, turns out she is HUGE and doesn't have very many rolls yet because she is just head and muscle.

Weight: 12 lbs 10oz.=90th percentile
length: 24 1/4 in.= 95th percentile
head: 41.7cm = 97th percentile (duh, I had a C-section right!)

She loves to suck and chew on her hand. Detests pacifiers!
She enjoys her baths, sometimes so much that she relaxes to much and goes to the bathroom which cuts the bath short, which she hates:)
She loves to coo at J and I. And when I sing she lengthens out the coo so it sounds like singing almost.
Obsession isn't a good enough word to describe her affinity for her play mat! I am grateful for this mat, she smiles and kicks and punches when she gets down on that thing. The bird at the top is seriously her best friend.
She lets me put her down for naps sometimes after falling asleep on me of course and bedtime is awesome! She fusses but once she's down, she sleeps! Last night she only got up once to feed.

yep, we love her and are so grateful for the beautiful healthy girl she is. I sometimes wonder what she's thinking and I hope she is just thinking about how happy and loved she is. My day is dedicated to making her smile, when I see it I feel like I waited my whole life to see that smile and it was worth the wait!!


I am also a little sad today. A family friend lost her fight with breast cancer. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, especially her husband and children. I am so grateful for the knowledge we can all have of life after death and being able to be reunited with loved ones. When I look at my baby's face it makes me want to live my life like this friend did, in such a way so that we can be together forever.
Here's her blog if you're interested

Like I said...

A glimpse at the balding. I sure do love that head! 3rd day in a row that I have been able to set her down for a nap and it lasts for over an hour!
Excuse me now I have a balding head to kiss:)

the baby is sleeping...

this photo was taken at about 1 week old.

My sweet baby is sleeping now. She is finally starting to nap without being held, and it is bliss! Don't get me wrong, I spend hours so grateful that I can just do nothing but look at her sweet sleeping face but things need to get done around the house once in a while to.

She is so much fun. We just sit and laugh and smile at each other most days, I never want to forget this stage for her. She is starting to put up a bigger fight when we put her to bed but she is also a little easier now to put down for naps so it evens out. She is almost 2 months old and I can't believe it! Josh's mom came to visit about a week ago and it was so fun, the baby loved it. It makes me so excited to go home for some holiday fun.

Just thought I would check in and say hi. We are having fun!!

Also, just so I don't forget: Summer hates pacifiers but she LOVES her fist! She is also in the process of balding:)

First time at Church

She slept most of the time.
With her proud papa

She's not a fan of hanging out in her Church clothes after Church is over. I mean let's get our comfy clothes on already:)

Smiles

thinking about it...
Almost there...
there it is!
done.
