2 Month Check-Up, Shots and All!

Gabbie had her 2 month check-up today! Yes, I am about 2 weeks late, but we got there. She did great! The doctor said she is growing and developing right on track! She is hitting all the milestones she should... following an object, turning to a loud sound, holding her head up, smiling, and cooing! She also started her immunizations today. That part she did not like at all, but seems to be more than okay now.

Here are her stats as of today!

23 1/4 inches, up from 19 1/2 inches - 60th percentile

11 lbs 12 oz, up from 7 lbs 4 oz, also 60th percentile

She is growing so fast! I love her new stages, but already find myself missing the "old" stages. I love watching her grow and develop. I am so grateful for her health! She has slept through the night the past two nights and on other sporadic nights. She is such a sweet baby and nothing can melt my heart like when she looks up at me in the morning and throws me a big old smile!

Splish, Splash, I Was Taking a Bath!

Gabbie always sticks her tongue out in her bath! She doesn't do it very often any other time, but it instantly comes out during her bath!
Gabbie loves her bath! It doesn't matter if she is hungry, tired, upset tummy, or anything else. Her bath will instantly calm her and put her in a good mood! She gets a serious bath face, shown in the photo above... but we also get a lot of smiles in her bath!

She kicks and splashes in her bath already! She will sit in her bath for 30 minutes just chillin out! I haven't let her stay in any longer than that, but I bet she would if I let her!

I always get smiles when she is in her bath! I just love it!

Here is a little video of her in her bath! Paige was helping me give her the bath, so that is the sweet little voice you hear in the background!

Visit from Amy, Jake & Paige

Paige & Gabbie!

Jake & Gabbie!

We had so much fun, as you can see from previous posts, with my sister Amy and her kids, Jake & Paige! I was a little worried that they would be very bored here in Spring Creek, but I don't think I needed to worry!

Paige had a great time with Gabbie! Jake loved the dogs! We also did a lot of fun things, like make Easter cookies, egg hunt, games, and competed with Camp Rock!

I so enjoyed the visit with all of the, but especially having Amy here. We spent a lot of time just chatting, but it was wonderful! She also took the baby monitor for two nights so I could sleep all night long! (Big thanks to Amy for that!!!) There is just something special about my sisters. I am lucky to have great sisters that I love to death!

Stella, Jake, Dallas, & Paige

Decorating the Easter cookies!

Visiting our local Museum! I had never been there before, but they have over 200 different animals on display!

Thanks again for coming out to visit us! We had so much fun with you and miss you already!

Anyone else want to come visit? We would love to have you!

Gabbies First Easter Egg Hunt!

Gabbie had her first Easter Egg Hunt while her cousins, Jake & Paige, were here. Papa Larry brought candy chocolate Easter Eggs over and Kiley and I hid them in the basement. Larry also brought over "magic" Jazz wristbands to help them find all the eggs!

It was really a lot of fun! Jake & Paige frantically looked for and found all the eggs. Gabbie wasn't quite as quick at finding them since she had no idea what she was looking for!

Paige loved her "magic" wristband and swears it "REALLY WORKS!!!" She squealed loudly each time she found another egg! She even wore the wristband the next night when we played Cadoo to help her "cheat" and win!

Jake & Paige looking for eggs high...
... and low.

Gabbie had some help from her daddy...

... and was also successful!

Jake, Papa Larry, Paige, and Gabbie! I think Gabbie was upset she couldn't eat the chocolate eggs she found... Maybe next year!

Thanks to Papa Larry for all the fun!

Paige - The Great Mommy's Helper!

Paige, Gabbie's cousin, came and spent 4 full days with us during her Spring Break. She was a great Mommy's helper! Gabbie absolutely loved having Paige here... I really liked it too!

She helped bath her!

And lotion her!

And get her dressed!

She would feed her!

And even read to her!

Paige, we loved having you here! Gabbie misses you!!
