2 months

Liberty is 2 months old now! At her dr's appointment she measured 23.5 inches (90th percentile) and 10 lbs 10 oz (50th percentile). I don't know how she got so big. I am not sure the height is totally accurate b/c she was squirming around quite a bit. The Dr was very impressed by Libby and said she acted more like a 3 month old. (But who isn't impressed by Libby's awesomeness?) She is starting to grasp things a lot more, like rattles, monkey's and mommy's hair

She also likes to suck on her fingers, it's so cute. She still likes tummy time and tries so hard to crawl. I'm sure one of these days when I'm not looking, she'll crawl away. She is also sleeping much better. Only a few nights all the way till morning, but lately I've only had to get up once to feed her, so we're getting there.

A good night's sleep

Last night was amazing! Liberty slept from 11 pm till 6 am and then after a short feeding and a clean diaper, she went back to sleep until 8:30! I am a happy mommy today. Haven't gotten that much sleep uninterrupted in a really long time. I'm hoping she makes this a regular habit. She hardly napped at all yesterday though b/c we went to visit my grandma who is recovering from surgery and so Libby basically only napped during the car trips there and back (an hour each way). She was very good all day though for being so off her schedule. (Probably b/c she had her uncle Matthew there to make funny faces at her)

Play Time

Liberty has decided she likes tummy time. She is so funny. When I roll her on her tummy she starts moving her legs like she is trying to crawl. If I put my hand against her feet, she pushes off and scoots across the floor. If I stop doing it, she will fake cry until I do it again. It is pretty funny. She is starting to make really cute noises and smile a lot when we play. She seems to really like music and rhythms. Everyday we listen to music and I help her dance/jump/pretend to run. Here's a cute picture of her on her tummy at Grandma Hill's house. She fell asleep like this and took a nice long nap. She looked so comfy, I couldn't move her.

Digital Scrapbooking

Recently I discovered that Digital Scrapbooking is really fun and also quite addicting. I think it is much easier than regular scrapbooking b/c they have design templates you can use and if it looks weird you don't have to worry about wasting expensive paper. It's nice to just use the pictures from the computer too, so they can be any size I need them to be. I've had a lot of fun this past week making scrapbook pages on the computer with a free program I downloaded (scrapbookflair.com). They have all sorts of papers, templates, and embellishments that come with the program and more that you can download that people post. I haven't done any scrapbooking at all since we've been married, so I've been able to keep pretty busy. I am actually almost up to date with the last 2 years, starting with pictures from when Richard and I were dating.

Happy Easter

Cousins

These pics were from a while ago. Liberty is 10 days and Laila is 4 months. Amazing how big a difference 4 months can be. So cute
