Dear beautiful girl of ours,
I can't believe you are already two months old. I am sure I will say that every month. You continue to grow so much! Month 2 was a big month for you, lots of new experiences and adventures!
Shortly after you were born all of the hair on the top of your little head fell out, you still had the sides and back and looked like a little old man in some pictures (but still beautiful of course) it has recently started coming back and thankfully still beautiful brown!
When you lost it all
Just now 03/07/08
Right after you turned 1 month old on 2/4/2010 we took at road trip 1.5 hours away to Moline, IL. We stopped and visited your Great Aunt Tina and cousins. Went to I-hop too! Afterwards we stopped at your Great Aunt Donna's house and you met all your second cousins. Great Grandma Judy and Great Grandpa Gale (who you got your middle name after) were there visiting from Nebraska! Grandma and Grandpa followed us back and for 4 days or so they loved on you. :)
You love to go shopping with Momma and like your Momma you love Target. Walmart you sleep right through (or cry the whole time) but Target you are awake and alert and love to just look around. When we went to Waterloo we got you a playmat and you love to just lay on it on the floor and look at the colors. You also love the little mirror that comes attached to it. Jack likes to lay with you, he's your protective big brother... you are never too far out of his sight! While laying on your playmat you found your voice and use it often when just laying around. Sometimes you will be napping and I will hear you wake up and start chatting with yourself! This month has been very big for learning to express yourself! You smile a lot and chatter quite a bit too! On 02/19/2013 Daddy made you smile for the first time! Your smile lights up the room too :D
Sadly month two found Momma having to go back to work. While I love spending time with you it was nice for us to have a little break from each other and it is all the more special when I pick you up at the end of the work day! You seem to like day care and love Miss Danielle and Miss Mindy! All of the kids really love you and they are always asking if we can go to the infant room and visit you!
You are impressing Mommy more and more everyday too! From day one you have been holding your head up but now you love to stand on your own strong little legs while someone holds you up and often get cranky if we make you sit! You also slept for 6 straight hours one night! It was lovely and you woke so happy and refreshed (Momma felt pretty good too!) You seem to know right away when it is Momma's dinner time and need me for something but during this month we discovered that you love your swing (02/22/13) and will gladly sit there for a while allowing Momma to enjoy her dinner!
February was also a rough month, we had to visit the doctor a couple of times. You had a stuffy nose and were pretty congested. We visited Dr. Gerst's office and sadly he was on vacation, they drew your blood and took some tests and decided it was just a cold. On 2/25/13 you were pretty restless and grouchy so we took you in and discovered you had an ear infection in both ears :( We got you on some medicine, which you LOVE the taste of and you were right as rain then next day, which is good because on 2/28 we had something big planned.... your first AIRPLANE ride to Colorado, You turned two months while we were there! We went and visited Grandma Linda and Grandpa Ron, Great Grandma and Great Grandpa came to visit too and you got to meet your Aunt Leann, Uncle Cody, Cousin Nykaila ( who was only 3 weeks old!) Great Aunt Tami, Aunt Keera and cousin Savanna, Grandma Jana, Hannah, Shannon, Lala, Casey, Sarah, Sarah and Brandon, and Shanna. We did a lot of driving around Colorado and shopping with Aunt Leann and Nykaila :D It was a great trip and you did so wonderful on the plane to and from Iowa! The guy across the isle said to me as we were getting off the plane "I didn't even know there was a baby on this flight!"
You have your Daddy wrapped very tightly already and I can't wait to see how you use your cuteness against him in the years to come! He loves to cuddle with you and hold you and you could just sit with him for hours watching Youtube, or Dr. Who! You two are so very lucky to have each other and I know that he will be the very best Daddy in the whole world! We were even his valentines and we got him a card and some candy! You looked so cute in your little valentines outfit!
You brighten my every day. I am still learning and there are still times when I get angry and frustrated but please know my precious girl that it is never your fault and I will love you with every breath, with every beat of my heart for all of time. More than anything <3
Love,
Mommy
( Mommy takes lots of pictures too so if you want to see any you just say so!)
