2 Months Old

Today Kaylor is 2 months old. It has gone by so fast. She has grown quite a bit, and is staying awake a lot longer now. My favorite thing about her right now is that she totally smiles and coos at us. It's so dang cute, I can't get enought of it. In fact we took our first video of her today. She put on a good show too, she cooed and smiled for the camera. Happy 2 months sweetie!

Dinner with Daddy

So in my last post I mentioned that Jeff is in charge of feeding Kaylor her bottle at night. Well this is the way I found Jeff feeding her the other night. Only daddy would find a way to multi-task this way. He makes me laugh.

I can't believe that Kaylor is almost 2 months old. Time has gone by so fast. I'm sure it's just going to go faster and faster. These last 2 months have been fun, stressful, painful, relaxing, and just downright wonderful! I love being a mom. I love taking care of my little girl. I have chosen the breast feeding route. Breast feeding is by far one of the most painful things I have ever done aside from child birth. Child birth was just one day, getting used to breast feeding took me a good two weeks. I can't even count how many times I cried because it hurt so bad. I would cringe when it was time for her to eat again. Now all is well. My toes don't curl every time I need to feed her. I can enjoy our time together now. In fact we've reached the point where we can give her a bottle too. We bottle feed her once a day (right before bed), so that she will be used to it when I go back to work. It's Jeff's job to feed her the bottle while I pump. He gets to be the one to put her to bed when I go back to work. Right now it's the hardest part of our day. We'll start the bedtime process around 9 or 10 and she won't fall asleep until 12 or 1. She gets so fussy and will not fall asleep after she eats like she does during the day. It's getting a little better. I don't really mind her going to sleep that late because it usually means she's going to sleep until 7:30. Sometimes she'll sleep until 9! I love that she sleeps through the night now. I love my sleep, so it makes it a little easier on me.

In the past two months she has experienced so much. She had her first Halloween and her first Thanksgiving. She has met all of her cousins, great-grandparents, and her Larsen side aunts and one uncle. She hasn't met uncle Josh yet because he had to work on Thanksgiving. She has also received her baby blessing. Her she was blessed by her Dad. It was a beautiful blessing, and we were fortunate enough to jot most of it down. It'll be nice for her to have when she's older. We look forward to the next 2 months with her. Her first Christmas will be in Utah with my family. Then she'll get to meet her other two uncles for the first time. They are anxious to meet her. She is their first niece.
