10 Things About Two Months

1. Smiles 
The last month, Aria has been all smiles. I get uber giddy every time she smiles at me.

She smiles the most when she is on her changing table. I laugh, sing, talk, and tell stories to her while I'm changing her diaper and clothes. Aria loves the time together and shows me with lots of smiles and laughter.







2. Play Time
Aria kicks, kicks, kicks when she plays. Her Baby Einstein Neptune play mat keeps her busy for about 10-20 minutes. Her favorite part about it is the dancing lights that plays music.

We've also discovered how much Aria loves the mobile in her crib. While she's not sleeping in there yet, sometimes I put her in there to hang out while I'm doing things around the house.

My husband got me an amazing video monitor for her room. The best part about it is that I can clip it to my jeans and move around the house with it.



3. Reading Time
Aria and I have reading time every day in the rocking chair in her room.

I try to get through at least two books before her attention span goes ca-put and she gets fussy.

I love story time because we get to bond even more. Her beautiful blue eyes stare at my facial expressions while I tell her stories.


4. Nap Time
The best naps are when Aria sleeps on my chest. She's so cute and peaceful.

I've learned, though, nothing puts her to sleep and keeps her asleep quite like the baby carrier. When I'm standing and moving around with her, the motion keeps her asleep and happy!


5. Little Feet and Hands

Need I say anything else? :)



6. Crying
Even when she cries, she's adorable.






7. Playing Dress Up

Spit-up? No problem, I would love to change her and put her in a different outfit! 


Or just change for fun, spit-up or not.

8. Holding Up Her Own Head

One of Aria's latest milestones is holding up her own head. She loves to look all around the room in awe. 

 9. Big Blue Eyes


10. Play Dates

While she's not so much old enough to interact with other babies, I still love the excuse to get together with friends and/or get to watch their babies for them!

Accomplishments of 34 Weeks

Image
How was your weekend? Ours was busy, but we still had time to play. Sunday was our annual Freedom Celebration at church. Since I'm not playing in the orchestra, I got to sit back and enjoy watching for the first time in the 8 years I have been attending our fabulous church.  We've made it to  34 weeks   so far. That's an accomplishment in and of itself! I'm incredibly proud of these babies! As usual, the babies all got great reports today and passed their tests with flying colors. Baby A: Livi heart rate: 132 She was actually the first to pass her NST today instead of being last like usual. Baby B: Beckett heart rate: 137 Beckett was the sleepy one today. He needed the noise stimulation during the Non-Stress Test, but then woke him up and he passed. He is so squished that we couldn't get any pictures of him today. Baby C: Henry  heart rate: 152 As always, Henry is running around all over the place and the life of the part

5 Month Camera Roll

Happy 5 months to my baby girl! Here's the pictures from our photo shoot today. I just thought this look was funny! Like she's saying, "I've got my eye on your Grandma and Grandpa..." She's happy now, but last night she was up for 3 hours. I could feel two teeth poking through: one on the top gums and one on the bottom. It was a long night. The good news tonight is the heat in the weather finally broke. It was such a nice evening, we sat outside for a little while. Look how funny Aria thinks Gus is when he fetches the ball. The video didn't catch her adorable laughing, but it's still pretty cute. In running news, I jogged 2 miles this evening- no stopping! Jogging has been a real struggle because all the extra weight I'm carrying feels more like 500 pounds instead of 27, but tonight was a success. That's 3 jogs this week!  Here's to keeping it

And We're Crawling

Aria has been filling my days up this week. The 6-9 month wardrobe is in the process of being boxed up. We're on to 9-12 month clothes, and stealing Daddy's hats. Last night, my niece, Jillian celebrated her 11th birthday with us at Olive Garden.                                             Aria always likes a party, but how excited she gets when she sees my mom is the true entertainment.  I'm thankful I got to spend the evening with my niece and the rest of my family. After that great night, Aria was up at 4:30 AM. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that she has four teeth coming in. Ouch. Since we were up at 4:30, I decided to have a fashion show of the clothes we bought Aria last night. Her 9 month professional photo shoot is Saturday. That calls for a new outfit. Although I purchased 9-12 month sizes, this outfit is just too tight. The 12-18 month shirt fits just right. Back to the
