Bedtime story: It's Time for Bed by Mem Fox

Yesterday Meli turned 2 months.  She is getting so big!  Well long...but she is chunking up a little, which I love.  I think that chunky babies are so adorable.  All babies are adorable but there is just something about the chub!  She does not have it like Colin did but she manages to be just as adorable anyway.  Her appointment is this Wednesday - I am excited to see how much she weighs.  I am thinking close to or a little more than 11 lbs.  We will see.

There has been more smiling, cooing and moving around.  She is crazy with flinging her arms all over the place.  A surprise hit to her little face seems to happen quite a bit.  Her look of shock is priceless.  She is trying to grab more things and has gotten a hold of my hair a couple of times.  Ouch! Very tight grip.  Daddy got the biggest smile so far this morning. He was shaving and I guess the shaving cream was very amusing to her.

Meli is starting to enjoy tummy-time more. She also loves to lay on her back and play with all of the hanging toys from her playmat.  I love her noises. Just so darn cute! We are having her join in Colin's storytime and she gets to listen to his two books and then we pick one for Meli. The title is from the book we are reading this week. It was one Colin loved when he was little.  He even memorized it at one point. She has her eye on her big brother - he appears to be very interesting to her.  As long as he keeps his distance.  Colin still wants to be right in her face. 





Relaxation time


All sunshine and happiness!
