…when you’re having fun!
It was super windy the other day, but it wasn’t cold, so I put Jay in shorts and a t-shirt. All winter whenever the wind blew, I would say “burrrrr!” and Jay now associates wind blowing with cold, even if it doesn’t feel cold. I got back from my run and found THIS little cutie waiting for me on the porch. Jeff said when Jay felt the wind blowing, he went and found his hat and mittens and asked Jeff to put ‘em on. I made that hat out of a scrap of fleece last winter, and it’s too big. But Jay LOVES it—he won’t wear any other hat! My loyal little boy.
Jay’s monster-bruise is healing so fast! We were trying to get a smiley picture of Rose this morning, and Jay was showing her how it’s done. Next time I get the camera out, I think I’ll also get out a tissue…
And as for THIS little cutie, she had her 2 month check-up on Monday, complete with 3 painful shots. I hate baby shots. It’s so sad! Rose was sad all day after her shots—she wailed and cried, and her little thighs were all red and tender. Thankfully, Tylenol came to the rescue and she’s all better now. ANYWAYS, if you’re interested, Rose weighs 11 lbs 10 oz and is one inch shy of being 2 feet tall! She’s a good little eater and sleeper, and usually only wakes up once during the night for food these days. Which means I am starting to get slightly more coherent and able to think straight again. I just can’t believe Rose is already 2 months old!
One guess on who made that cute headband. (hint—not me!!) Rose is getting so sociable. It’s getting easier and easier to coax smiles out of her little lips (but still hard to capture them on camera). That makes me SO happy. Especially since she’s also getting better and better at pooping! Yesterday was a new record: neon babypoo all the way up to her NECK!! Impromptu bathtime.
Last night I was feeling kind of grumpy. Rose was just drifting off to sleep after her bedtime milk—eyes drooping, head lolling—when she used her last bit of strength to open her eyes and smile right at me. Then she fell asleep almost instantly. My grumpiness melted away. It felt like Rose was saying “Thanks, for everything, Mama!”
Sigh of motherly happiness.

Cambrie does the same wind=cold thing (because I did they same thing as you all winter). Even on a nice day, if the wind blows really hard, she'll urgently say "At! At!" (hat) and reach back to pull the hood of her jacket over her head. It's kinda funny to watch when she's not actually wearing a jacket. :-)
Haha! I love the pic of Jay in the oversized hat! It's so fun to see their personalities come through, boogers and all! lol. And I am SO glad Rose is letting you grab a few more "Zzz's", that SO NICE!
