2 Months

Oh my goodness our sweet baby girl is 2 months!!!

She had her shots today and she was 10 lbs 1 oz & 22.75 inches long.  She's a little smaller than Alli was at this age but starting to pack on some chubbiness- yay!

 This is Alli in her 5th outfit of the day I think...I loose track after about three =) I don't love her laundry pile, but she's a cutie so she makes up for it.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Love my little sweeties and can't wait to go out with my one and only tonight!

Hotel Swimmin'

My parents were up here last weekend and invited us all to go swimming at their hotel...we of course took advantage, it's all Alli could talk about the ENTIRE day from the minute she woke up!

 Haven was such a good babe and slept through most of it

Grandpa and Ace

Good times! They also took us all to breakfast the next morning. What nice grandparents eh?! 

Sleep = Happiness

I just have to brag for a minute because this little girl is basically sleeping through the night! Pretty amazing for a 5 week old I'd say. She sleeps from approximately 10:30 pm to 6 am....almost a full 8 hours of sleep! Then I feed her and she'll sleep again until I wake her up for the day. I love it, makes me SO happy....and when Mama's happy everyone is happy! I'm so proud of her, she has done this for 5 nights now. I'm so glad I have some good sleepers on my hands because heaven knows I love my sleep. Thank you babywise, I am 2 for 2 with you! I swear by this book- LOVE it....because of it we have a good solid routine and SLEEP!!!

Just Because

She is the sweetest! That is all...

Randomness

Did you know that Twinkle Twinkle Little Star has the same melody as the ABC'S? I learned this the other day in the waiting area at my dentist....I so did not even know that!


I have been receiving US Weekly and some other random magazines in the mail for couple months.... I have no idea how I got signed up for that, but I'm not complaining!

I think the month of January is so blah....it's so boring, cold and long. I'm so glad it's pretty much over!

Did you know that HGTV is giving away a dream home in Park City, plus $500K and an SUV?! I think if I spread the word maybe I'll get good karma and win?! Ha- fat chance, but somebody's gotta win!


The Lehi McDonald's sells approximately 3,000 happy meals a day...the drive through guy told me that randomly as he was folding more happy meal boxes. That's so crazy to me, and that is just one location!


I can now shop in the girls section at stores for some things, instead of the toddler girls and it makes me a tiny bit sad, but the cute clothes make up for it.


I have made no bake cookies like 5 times in the last 2 weeks, they always sound so good! This is a problem.


I have just now jumped on the band wagon of bountiful baskets! They are so great and so healthy- love em!


I have done 2 days of the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD and it freakin hard! I'm so out of shape! I struggle with DVD workouts, I'd much rather go to the gym, so I'm excited to get back to Power Pump!


I'm loving this mild winter we've been having.


THE END.

1 Month

A few things we've learned about our little Haven in her first month of life...

She makes tiny little squeaks and purrs-  it's the sweetest sound ever

Loves to eat

Sleeps like an angel and looks like one too

Loves to stretch for a good 5 minutes after waking up from a nap

Loves to snuggle in close

Loves her bouncer chair

Makes lots of cute and funny faces

Scratches her face off when she is mad

She has great coloring and tons of hair
Has the exact same cry as her big sister did

As for me, I've learned that things are a lot easier with the second baby in the sense that I'm way more relaxed and way more confident in what I'm doing. I remember with Alli I was always so stressed out whenever she cried, or even just putting her in the car seat stressed me out. I'm not quite as an emotional wreck as i was back then. I feel like I know what I'm doing and know what to expect, so that has been so nice! Also, the recovery physically has been much easier and a lot quicker which is great!

I've also learned that you heart expands a 100 times over with the second child. You love them just as much as your first, and my love for Alli has grown even more.  She is so happy, understanding and easy going. I love having a new baby and i am loving the age difference between Alli and her, i think it's perfect for me.

Cheers to 1 month!
