Tiny & Mighty!

You can see her dimple a little here

October (my favorite month) is here! The beautiful blue skies, cool breeze & sunshine are just what I needed after a long summer being hot and pregnant. I haven't blogged in a few weeks & wanted to share a few new things Gabrielle has been doing. She is 2 months now! How time flies. It is starting to really sink in that I am a Mom & we have a daughter & we are a real family now. The days are long, sleep is becoming less frequent, unfortunately. But we hope to start developing better sleep habits as soon as we can figure out a solution to Gabby only being able to fall asleep while nursing.


We went to her 2 month check-up last week & she is topping the charts at 9 lbs 6 ounces & 22 1/2 inches! Not the biggest baby on the block but the doctor says she is slow gaining and nothing to worry about. I'm not much for bragging but I am just so proud of the way Gabrielle is developing & how much she has done way before the suggested age frame. Her doctor says she is ahead for development, which we were thrilled to hear. She may be tiny but she sure is mighty!

Reaching for those toes!

Last week, Gabs shocked us by reaching down and touching her toes!! She has been so amazed by them we can barely get her to look at us anymore. I give her a few weeks and those little feet will be in her mouth ;)


Today we tried the bumbo seat. It's not recommended until the baby has good head control & I thought she has been lifting her head & looking around well enough to give it a whirl. She loved it! We can't get her to hang out in anything for more than 10 minutes & she gave us a whopping 20 in the bumbo! I think she found her new best friend (next to Ink of course!)

Bumbo win.
