2 months

today adde is 2 months old. time has gone by so fast, but at the same time it seems like she's been with us forever. we've had some recent colic issues with our sweet girl, but switching bottles has done the trick.

at 2 months adde...

-just started wearing size one diapers. she is still wearing mostly newborn clothes, but is slowly fitting into some of her 0-3 month clothes.
-got her shots this past thursday at her 2 month check-up. she was not a fan!
-weighs 8 lbs. 15 oz. and takes 4 ounces of breast milk every two hours.
-has slept through the night a few times, but still only gets up once most nights.
-has the most precious smile that she showed us on may 8th and has started cooing at us as well.
-loves watching her brother and the mobile on her swing.

we love you sweet addeline!

indeed blessed

i am indeed blessed. life is a whirlwind right now and it's hard to find time to document it all, but i don't want to forget a moment.

our past two weeks:
-on friday, april 30th, matt and i took tuck to a thunder playoff game while adde stayed with aunt wendy. we had a wonderful time with the johnston family enjoying a yummy dinner at coach's, a carriage ride across bricktown, and then a very exciting nba playoff game. tucker grinned from ear to ear the entire time even though we lost by one.
-last tuesday, tucker started swimming lessons. it's a parent and tot class, and since i just had a baby 6 weeks earlier, i declared myself exempt! he is doing great practicing kicking and splashing daddy. he will continue to go every tuesday and thursday for the entire month of may.





-on saturday, i graduated from ecu with my master's degree in reading. it was a special day that we shared with matt's family since my family was all in okc welcoming gage tyler into the world.
-adde is no longer the baby on the fuller side! she may not be the youngest, but she is still the smallest. gage came into the world yesterday afternoon tipping the scales at 11 pounds 1 ounce! holy cow!



today is mother's day. i remember those hard mother's days where we sat in church watching other mothers getting recognized while we wondered when it would be our turn. since then, i have been blessed beyond measure with 2 of the most beautiful, incredible kids. days are hard...babies fuss, toddlers make messes, the house seems out of control, but i love my life and my kids!

tuck and adde, i am so thankful that god chose me to be your mommy! i love you so much!
