2 months

My sweet baby Lucy is now 2 months old! At 2 months she weighs 12lbs, has pretty good head control, is spacing her feeding to every 4 hours at night and has started smiling when awake. She is a bit spoiled and LOVES to snuggle on my chest! Love you baby girl!!!

Thirty!?!?

Turning thirty was a hard brithday for me. Blah.... I moped around for days feeling like an old woman. LOL :) But then I realized I can't reverse time and so I should just make the most of aging! I have learned a lot as I have grown older and realize I will only gain more wisdom as life continues on.  In the last 10 years  I have gained confidence that I never  knew I had, learned that even though the road is tough I am tougher, became a mom and realized how important my job as a mom is, seen my testimony and love for the Savior grow, and so much more! So here's to turning THIRTY! 30! WOW! Let's hope the next 10 years are just as great!!!



Nostalgia

I really hope my dad is checking my blog,because this post is for him. Let me tell a little back story so you will understand the pic.  My dad owns a grocery store and as I was growing up everytime my siblings would visit with a new baby they had this tradition of going to my dad's grocery store and weighing the baby on the old timey produce scale.  I always loved seeing how much the babies weighed and would think I can't wait to have a baby so I can do this also.  But, before I had kids they changed over to electronic scales at dad's grocery store and the baby weighing tradition ceased.  So, when I was at a local fabric store with some friends a few days ago and saw an old scale just like dad used to have at his store, I HAD to take a pic of Lucy on the scale! I only had my cell phone, so the pic is not the best, but it certaintly brings back memories. According to the scale, Lucy now weighs a whopping 12 pounds! :)

End of August

The month of August has flown by with many firsts for Lucy. She had her first Sunday at church where I tried(with little success) to ward off all the many hands trying to love on her. Oh well! She has to get exposed to the germy world at some point.  She also had her first trip to the beach with her brothers! She slept the whole time, but nonetheless she was at the beach.  :)  And to top it all off she turned 1 month old! She weighed 9lb 9oz at her 1 month check up. I had to pack up the newborn clothes and switch her to a size 1 diaper. She is growing so fast!

 Carter has rule of  the house now with Cooper in school and he is loving having Lucy and me all to himself.  He loves on Lucy, talks to her and tries to play with her.  He is being an awesome big brother!!
