2 Months

We went to Madeleine's 2 month well baby check this morning. She was so very, very mad when I woke her to take her clothes off, the whole time she was getting weighed and measured she screamed her little head off. She then promptly peed all over me when I picked her up, sure showed me! She was all smiles and cooing for the rest of the exam. Until it was vaccination time, that is, not so much fun. 5 shots for such a tiny thing! I'm sure the screaming could be heard in the next building. By the time we got back home she was sound asleep, that was interrupted by more incessant screaming. Julianna rescued me with some Tylenol and she seems to be feeling better. Poor baby girl.

Stats:

Weight: 12lbs 14oz - 87%

Length: 23 Inches - 68%

Head: 15.5 - 63%

Family Fun Time!

We love it when Daddy gets home early and we have time to play!

Great-Grandma Jones

Aaron spent a few days working in San Luis Obispo last week, so he got to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Jones while he was there. Grandma Jones is the most amazing quilter, her work is unbelievable. Here is the quilt she made for baby Madeleine. I wish the picture showed all the detail it's beautiful!

For Aunt Amy...

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I just love it. The picture doesn't even do it justice.

Chunk-A-Licious

That's what she is! Yesterday Madeleine turned two whole months old. Where on earth has the time gone? This baby weighs 12lbs 11oz! She's gained 4.5 pounds since birth.

She does not have her official check-up until Thursday but I had to take her in to see the Ped today because of her stinkin' eye. Her left tear duct is blocked which causes it to keep getting infected. The medicine was no longer working so we went in to get something else and to get it cultured again. The new medicine actually seems to be making it worse. Ugh! Yes, I am doing lots of massage to the duct trying to clear it but no luck so far.

Meanwhile, enjoy these pictures of this sweet, chubby thing. She gives us the biggest smiles that take over her face but for some reason the flash of the camera tones them down. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you sweet baby girl!

I Hate It When...

The dishwasher is full of clean dishes and the sink is full of dirty dishes! Unloading the dishwasher is the absolute worst!

BOO!

I gotta just do it and get it over with.

Hilariously Embarrassing

I am checking my e-mail, as I am sure you all see, there are always advertisements on the side bar for weight loss products. Saturday morning Noelle is sitting on my lap and an ad pops up for, "Lose Belly Fat Now!" There are two pictures side by side, one of a flat tummy...the other not so flat.

Noelle points her little finger at the screen and says, "See Mommy's tummy?" I point to the flat one and ask, "That one?" She points to the not so flat one and says, "No, that one." We go back and forth a few more times because I am sure she was just confused. Nope. Finally I pull up my shirt and her eyes light up, "See! There it is." While pointing at my mid-section. Oh, gag. Please someone help me.

Another one that I don't want to forget:

Noelle: "Mommy, where are you?"

Mommy: "I'm right here by you."

Noelle: "Where's Daddy?"

Mommy: "He's at work"

Noelle: "Getting the money?"

Mommy: "Yes, I guess he is getting the money."

Now she loves to tell everyone that Daddy is at work 'getting the money.' So, last night....

Daddy: "While Daddy is at work getting the money what does Mommy do during the day?"

Noelle: "Feeds Madeleine the milk."

It's amazing to me what things they pick up and and file away in their little brains!

Is It Me?

Last night was Girls' night at Chili's....I had a long day and almost didn't go. Aaron wanted me to go have fun and Daddy was happy to have some time alone with his little baby. Plus, I was only 2 miles down the road if something happened. Aaron called me after about 90 minutes (the time went fast) and his voice was shaking, "She's been crying the whole time and nothing I do helps. I would do anything for her but I can't. You need to come home, I can't handle it anymore. She needs you! Please!" Poor Daddy, Poor Baby.

The minute he handed her to me...silence. Is it me or my ability to nourish her? Both?

She fell asleep around 9:30pm and slept until almost 3:00am. WOW!

I must say the night was worth it, I NEEDED it! The food was yummy, friends were hilarious, and the almost 4 hours of sleep I got were heavenly.

Sunday Best

Yesterday was Madeleine's first Sunday going to church. We stayed home for the first six weeks, but now we had no more excuses and had to go back. :) She looked too sweet for words all dressed up in her Sunday best.

Here we are today during our morning play time after her bath.

Kelsi~this one is for you. She looks so cute in the outfit! She wore it to the movies with me and the girls Saturday night. (We saw Bride Wars, it was really cute!)

Little Old Lady From Pasadena

Noelle picked out her own outfit to go to the park in. Isn't it gorgeous? For some reason Little Old Lady From Pasadena popped into my head and I could not stop singing the song all day. She even has a little doggie!

She also thinks that stickers belong on her tummy. Always. It all started when she was potty training and I would give her stickers when she used the toilet. The habit has continued, she even sleeps with them on. Here are stickers from a book she got for Christmas. Crazy girl!
