Tummy Time

Sienna's least favorite part of her day = tummy time.

"This is Not Amazing"

I have made an effort to make sure that Shelby reaps some of the benefits of my time off . I have been testing my "Stay at mom skills," by arranging craft projects for her.  I have been saving toilet paper rolls and decided that they could make fun stamps. Shelby jumped right in with enthusiasm (like she always does) and then confessed, "This is not amazing. It's just confusing that I am painting with toilet paper." Ha! Point taken. I did not have much of a rebuttal to that one :)

2 Months New

My sweet baby girl is two months old. Amazing how 2 months pregnant feels like a lifetime and two months with this sweetie, just races right by! Boy do we love this little sweetheart.

I took her to her two month check up. She is tracking like a super star:

Height:  24 inches - 98%
Weight: 13 pounds, 1 ounce - 90%
Head: ??? cm - 86%

Here is a pic from the doctor's office. Little did she know, she was about to get a slew of immunizations. Overall, she did great with the shots, but I could tell she felt a little bum for a good 24 hours.

As you can see, she is a happy little sweetie. In the last month she has started to smile and coo like nuts. Really....is there a cuter sound than a baby coo? I don't think so! She has also become very interested in Shelby. The other day Sienna was crying in her bouncy seat and Shelby came over to talk to her. Almost instantly, Sienna calmed down. It was wonderful.

I love this little Nugget so much. I have three more weeks with her, before I go to work and she heads off to school with Shelby. She still nurses like a champ. Oddly, she does not have much of a routine, other than a nap in the morning that varies in length from one hour to three hours. If she is up a lot during the day, then she can sleep through the night. If she naps a lot in the day, then she only goes 4  to 6 hours before waking up. She loves the lights, outdoors and her binky. She has recently been trying to use me as a binky too, but I am trying to put the stop on that. Holy smokes!

Happy two months sweet thing. And just for fun, here is Shelby Pie at 2 months!

Good Choice Chart!

Shelby's recent Good Choice Chart was extra special - it came on the heels of Sienna's arrival. It's no secret that she, like many other kiddos, struggled with a new addition in the house. With that, we added lots of squares to make sure that we could give her lots of rewards! She would get a sticker for good behavior at school and then one for doing a good job at bedtime....aka, staying in bed and not coming out with a bevvy of excuses.

Her prize? She wanted a Rapunzel dress. We gave her the movie Tangled for Christmas and it has since become the hot movie in our household. I threw in the wig as an extra bonus....mostly for me because I thought it would be cute. Congrats my Shelby Pie!

Daddy-Daughter Dance

Lifetime Fitness hosted an adorable Daddy-Daughter dance. Jack told Shelby he had a very special surprise for her, and special it was! They both got dolled up (corsage and all!) and set off to the party. Shelby had her nails and make up done, and even came home with some new princess gloves and a crown. When they returned, two hours later, Shelby was beaming from ear to ear. Love these two!

You Are My Sunshine

The song You Are My Sunshine is just brilliant. It's captures  how I feel about both my little gals. They certainly make me happy when skies are grey. Here is Sienna sharing her sunshine with the world!

Gummy Smiles!!

Sienna has really turned on the charm lately and now smiles and coos up a storm when played with. The best part? Her one smile creates three more in our household. I love the story of the last picture below,,,,Shelby loves Sienna's smiles so much that she was trying to take a picture of them too :)
