After Two Months

We are beginning to get the hang of things around here with 2 little people.  I say beginning, because as soon as I think I have a handle on something, someone is sure to throw me a curveball!  However, I think that I am handling having a second child fairly well.  I don't feel nearly as stressed about things as I did with Isaiah.  Sure, I would love more sleep, but this time around I know that it will eventually come.

I still plan on posting more about my mom's visit, but it will take some time to sort through all the pictures!  Let me just say that we had a FABULOUS time, and it was really hard to say goodbye, even after a month.

But I wanted to document some of the things that Nadia is up to as a 2 month old before I forget, which is more likely to happen these days!

Our beautiful 2 month old is...

~holding her head up more
~rolling over from tummy to back in her sleep, and I actually caught her once!  It wakes her up and she gets upset, so I usually see her after the fact.
~starting to stay awake longer
~interacting a little bit


~nursing like a champ
~hates a pacifier
~knows when it's time for mommy to eat and then wants to eat too (pretty much every time!  she has some kind of sensor, I think)
~adored by her big brother

~seems to know when mommy leaves the house or isn't available.  Once I took Isaiah for a walk while she was sleeping, and 2 seconds after leaving, she woke up and cried until I got back.  As soon as I took her back in my arms, she calmed down.  (now if that doesn't make a mama's heart melt, nothing will!)  Another time I got in the shower, and Thomas said as soon as I turned on the water, she woke up, but she stayed calmer that time.
~filling out her cloth diapers better
~she makes some of the funniest noises, my favorite being something that sounds like an "evil laugh" really deep in her throat; makes me laugh every time
~she holds on tight
~smiling!


While this post isn't as polished as I would like, it has taken me all day to write it.  Who knows when I would get it just right if I waited any longer!  Besides the real point is to have pictures, right? :)
