How quickly the last 2 months have flown by! I just cannot believe how fast my babies are growing. Danny is walking and trying to talk while Michelle is smiling & gooing like a pro. Danny has grown out of his 12 month clothes & Michelle has grown out of her 0-3 mo. sleepers... due to inheriting her Daddy's long, skinny feet. I wish there was no such thing as housework or errands so I could simply enjoy my 3 children while they are young. It seems like each one is growing up faster than the last one because I am all that much busier.
So it seems we cannot take a picture of Michelle unless it's a special day I have made a sign for! I guess that's what she gets for being the 3rd child in a family with the child spacing we do. Poor thing. She is simply adorable when she is asleep. I get to see a lot more of her asleep than I saw Kaelah & Danny. This girl cannot seem to sleep longer than a nap without having someone to snuggle with. And when I type 'snuggle,' I should really be typing 'half-suffocate.' Michelle loves to have her face squashed right next to skin. It scared me tons, especially when she began rolling from her back to her stomach when she was alone so she could bury herself in the mattress. With Kaelah & Danny we had the 'safe & secure sleeper' to put in between us but Michelle would have no part of it. She & I co-sleep to get any sleep. Funny how things like a lack of bottles can change how you look at the world. Still, I consider myself very blessed that she is alive every morning.
I had to add Michelle & her scowling face. We get to see this every time she is trying to figure something out. It's kind of funny we have so many pictures of this when truly she is the earliest & most smiley baby of the 3 of them!
A half-smile for Daddy when I handed the camera over to him. Michelle seems to have developed her own facial signs for the members of the family. For Daddy, it's a smile (of course). For Mommy, it's a fishy face (aka food is coming!). For Kaelah, it's a concerned face (you never know what you're going to get). And for her big brother, fear (you always know what you're going to get).
And this is Michelle & her Daddy the day she turned 2 months minus the sign I made.Can you see how much she adores her Daddy? Who wouldn't? He's WONDERFUL!
Michelle's 2 Month Stats:
weight = 11 lbs 7 oz (she's a great eater!)
height = 24" (yes -- 2 feet tall already!)
We love you, little Michelle. Thank you for being such a delight in our home & family.
