2 months old


Our sweet baby is already 2 months old! Time is going much much too fast. Really...how do I save these days in my memory forever?

Emmylou is smiling a lot. I am ready for her to start laughing at Adelaide anyday now. Her eyes light up with the biggest smile sometimes and I'm just sure a laugh will come out...but not yet.

She is just growing out of her 0-3month size. These pictures are my FAVORITE outfit of Adelaide's. The first 3-6 mo size...still a little big, but comfy with her cloth diapers on. She is ready for size 2 disposible diapers now, and could probably almost fit into the bigger size cloth soon. We are using the small size covers.

She will sit in her chair and reach for a toy if it's hanging in front of her....or at least try to reach for it. She stares at the toy and you can tell she is trying hard to get her hand to reach for it.


She sleeps so well. We go to sleep by 10 or 11 at night, and she usually only wakes up once to nurse, sometimes I think she sleeps all night until 5 or 6! I'm never sure if I wake to nurse her or not, because she is in bed with me and it's so easy to nurse her and get right back to sleep. She is also doing a great job on the potty. There have been 2 mornings where I woke up to a clean, dry diaper, and then put her on the toilet where she lets it all loose. She is potty trained! Is that crazy?

I love her so much. She is the sweetest baby ever. She is usually really happy, unless we set her down. She takes several naps a day. Honestly I haven't even paid attention to how many or how long, but it's usually hard for her to sleep because "someone" is singing, yelling or talking REALLY LOUD. I'm so glad that she is part of our family. Adelaide is so sweet with her as well. She spends lots of time talking to her and trying to teach her things. I can't wait to watch them grow up together.

Adelaide drew Morgan and her mama Molly on the card. I think it looks so good!!! She also signed all of our names in Orange at the bottom left. Such a great artist already!

Tap Dance class

Adelaide was VERY excited to try a tap dancing class. She really liked the sound that the shoes make, so we decided to try it. It was lot's of fun taking her up to the dance studio to pick out a pair of tap shoes in her size. She gets to wear them in the bathroom to practice,  but not on the hard wood floors.

Adelaide even picked out her clothes to wear to her first class, and let me braid her hair for the first time ever!




The first tap class was VERY full of kids and adults. It was LOUD! Too loud for me, too loud for Emmylou and TOO LOUD for Adelaide. We decided to switch back to the creative dance class that she likes much better.

Alma Babies

This is the board at the front door of the Birth Center. They put up all of the babies that are born with their midwives each month. Can you find Emmylou's name?




I think it's fun to see what kinds of names people are using these days. Also fun to see if we can meet some of these friends through the years! And emmylou needed a snack while we were there. Eventhough I don't work there anymore...I miss it and miss our friend Cat who we got to hang out with too.

Rollerskating for the first time!

I took Adelaide to the skate rink for the pre-school skate class. She really loved the plastic skates that fit onto her shoes. She didn't want to try the "heavy" ones. The highlight of her day was when the squirrel came out to do the chicken dance and "skate" with her. She had a great time, and I think we will wait a while before she tries ice skating...even though she really wants to. She didn't want to let go of my hand much and still has a lot to learn.
