{ Blair :: Two Months Old }

What? Two months already? I can't believe my newborn is no longer the teeny tiny babe I met just 2 short months ago! Our sweet baby Blair is growing so big and so strong and hitting so many new milestones and I loved this time each month to sit down and remember all the fun things we've experienced together.

*Sorry about the picture Blair, but I just had to remember your sad face from these last couple days.  Shots are no fun.  My poor little babe!


  • At your 2 month doctor appointment we found out that you've been REALLY busy growing big and strong!  You now weigh 12 pounds 7 ounces (90th%), are 22 1/2 inches long (60th%), with a head circumference of 15 inches.  Good job girlfriend!
  • You also received your second series of shots at the doctor yesterday and you were such a trooper!  You only cried for 5 seconds and then you were just fine...until you woke up from your first nap.  Oh you poor, poor thing!  Thank goodness for baby Tylenol!
  • Dressing you is getting more and more fun!  I feel like you have cuter outfits than your momma!  And I'm totally okay with that because you're mommy's greatest accessory! JK.  Sort of.
  • We love it when you sneeze! And when you do, you sneeze in THREES! It's so cute!
  • Your hair looks like it's going to be dark.  Darn.  I kind of wanted you to be a little bondie like your daddy...seeing as how you look like his identical twin anyway!
  • Your Daddy and I take turns giving you baths.  As much as I LOVE when it's my turn, it's also fun to sit on the couch and just listen to you squirm around as Daddy lets you soak up the suds.
  • You've grown out of all your newborn clothes!  It was a sad day when I had to throw them all in a bag and tie them up for the next baby.  But hey, now you've got a whole new wardrobe to work with.  
  • Not that anyone else will find this exciting, but you're wearing Size 1 diapers now.  And I'm pretty sure you'll be in the Size 2 any day now.  Hopefully not too soon though, as we've still got a whole package of Size 1 diapers for you to poop your way through.
  • This last month you were lucky enough to meet two of your new cousins!  Baby Russell Laidlaw and baby Sydney Bracken.  How fun that you will have a couple cousins so close in age. 
  • You still look exactly like your dad!  You definitely have his eyes and nose!  Although, little things you do make me think you might grow up to look a little more like me when you're older.
  • Your smiles are the best part of our day!  They are completely genuine now and your flash us the biggest ones after a nice long nap and a full tummy.
  • While playing a little game of "High/Low" in bed the other night, your dad said the "high" from his day was coming home from work to you and your beautiful face.  (I'm not even mad his favorite thing was you and not me...because you're my favorite thing too!)
  • Tummy time is your favorite...for about 5 minutes...then you're over it!  But it's fun while it lasts.
  • You've discovered your tongue!  I used to think that when you stuck your tongue out it was because you were hungry, but now I know it's just a cute thing you do to pass the time.
  • You totally think you're such a big girl now.  While nursing you have to do it all yourself now.  No help from mommy please!  Okay, okay, big girl.  Can't wait to see what you start doing all by yourself next month!
