Still getting the hang of things... {2 months!}

 

Anberlin is two months old today! :)

This month Anberlin took her first road trip to St. Louis and got her first set of shots. {I already blogged about that, so if you missed it click here!} She also got to meet her other grandparents. My parents came out for an extended weekend to meet their new granddaughter. :)

After they left, not before spoiling her first though, we were busy trying to get me all checked out of the Navy. That was a looong process and it meant that Anberlin had to spend a lot of time in her car seat following me to appointments. But somehow we were blessed with an amazingly awesome baby who didn't seem to care too much about not really having a schedule during the day. But finally all of that is now taken care of and I am officially separated from the Navy after 8 years and 10 months of service. :)

I'm trying to think of anything else that happened this month... On Monday night, we went to a beer tasting at Dogfish Head Alehouse (if you recall, this is where my water broke). We brought Bay and she slept the whole time (2 hours) and was such a good baby that one lady said she didn't even know she was there because she was so quiet. Then yesterday I took her out for a mama & baby date to the movies. TheBump.com sponsors this event once a month where mom's are encouraged to bring their baby to a certain movie theater for a movie on a certain day/time. They have the lights up more than a normal movie and the volume turned down. It was really awesome. She was awake for the beginning of the movie but I fed her and she took a nap the rest of the time.

So for now, we are just going day by day. Anberlin has a little cradle cap going on right now that we are trying to get rid of. Other than that, she is completely healthy. We are still watching out for any symptoms of Pyloric Stenosis, which runs in my family, but I am hoping we are going to dodge that altogether. We really love her and love being with her and watching her make funny faces and hang out with her right arm up in the air. She is hilarious. Sometimes before we go to bed, we make Anberlin faces at each other and laugh. {We are dorks, we know.} She pretty much sleeps through the night for the most part. We try to get her to bed between 8:30-9:30pm and she normally doesn't wake up again until about 1:30am for a feeding and a changing, then she sleeps again until about 6:30am. Her hair is still growing and changing colors. Some places looks like she has lost some hair but not too much. And her eyes are still gray. As for who she looks like, it's still pretty split down the middle for what other people think. I guess we will have to wait to find out... I think she just looks like herself.  <3

Her favorite arm.

This was an outtake from her two month shot. She noticed Chewy and wanted to pet him, haha.

And here is a little video of her playing on her activity mat!
