Our sweet summer baby turned 2 months old on August 4th! This was the day before she started daycare at Mrs. Pam's house and the day before my first day of school. We also attended the first ever Encounter service at our church on this day!! Lots of exciting things happening around her 2 month birthday!
Molly Caroline starting smiling this month. She smiles all the time. She scrunches up her little nose and just grins! Sometimes she opens her mouth really wide too...which is adorable. Her eyes light up before she smiles...melts my heart!!!
She makes the sweetest sounds. When she smiles sometimes she has a little laugh that just brings joy to our souls!!
She loves to sit up. She really likes her bumbo seat.
She kicks her legs ALL the time. It looks like she is riding a bike....most of the day. So cute!!
I don't know where she gets them from, but Molly Caroline has the longest eye lashes ever!
Molly Caroline loves to ride in the car and actually went to Dublin for the first time this month. She slept almost the entire 3 hour trip both ways. When she wasn't sleeping, she was just wide eyed and content. Blakely sat crammed in next to her. :)
We took her to church for the first time this month and she stayed in the nursery. She did great! I am thankful that they love her. She will grow up here! :)
She met some of my college friends babies. She also met our new next door neighbor, Gary. He was born in the middle of July. They are going to be good friends!!
She LOVES music. And smiles to any song. Her favorites are the wheels on the bus...especially the swish, swish, swish part. :) And be still my heart...she loves For Your Splendor by Christy Nockels.
Bath time is one of her favorite times of the day. She loves sitting in her bathtub. We put warm washcloths over her body and she is so relaxed. We splash and play with her rubber ducky a little bit too.
She still loves her nursery...her changing pad, glider, and crib. We have precious memories in her room already.
Our nightly routine consists of a bath, then we sit in her glider and I feed her and we listen to worship music. Then I read to her...some of our current favorites are You are my Cupcake, Goodnight Moon, and Pajama Time. She usually falls asleep when I'm reading. :) Then we swaddle her and put her in her sleeper. She always wakes up and lays there wide eyed for a little while, then puts herself to sleep. She likes her paci most nights when going to sleep.
Molly Caroline sleeps from 9pm to 5am. She is a great sleeper. She still sleeps next to our bed. :)
She loves her bouncer, her swing, her rock n play, and the boppy. She is pretty conent wherever we have her. So far there isn't a baby item that I wish we wouldn't have purchased. We never use her pack n play however...but I'm sure we eventually will.
Molly Caroline loves footed pj's after bath time.
Loud noises don't bother her at all and she can sleep through almost anything.
She loves her bottles. We still use Dr. Brown's or Playtex Ventaire. Love both! Nuk paci's are still her top choice!
We are so blessed by our baby girl! She is such a treasure and we are cherishing every single second with her. Even though our lives have obviously changed, everything still feels the same. I think that's a great thing!! We want tume to stand still but llove watching her grow and reach new milestones. We never get tired of looking at our little miracle. Sometimes when she lays on my chest I feel like my heart will burst. Thank you, Lord. We are so grateful.
