Two months old.



Olive, you are officially two months old! Even though we just snuggled on the couch in attempts to get over this horrible cold we both have, I wouldn't have wanted the day to be spent any other way. You're growing up, so fast. I cherish every moment I get with you, especially on your most cuddly days. Because I know you won't be a baby for long, even though in my eyes, that's what you'll forever be. My baby. I love you Olive Jae, always.

Hair and eyes: Good news, she has more hair now! It's still pretty much peach fuzz, and so pale to the point where you barely even notice it's there, but it's still there! And it's still blonde. Not sure if it'll stay that way, but we shall see. And her eyes are still exactly like mine. Which I am rather happy about, since it's about the only thing she takes from me. Well..that and my grumpy face. She does that a little too well.

Weight: Still not sure about her weight since her doctor's visit isn't until the 15th of this month, but I can tell that she's chubbin' up. Quite a bit too. Looking at old pictures of her, I'm able to see just how much she's changed. It's incredible how quickly they grow over a 2 month period. I can't wait to see her at 3 months!

Height: Tall as tall can be. At the rate she's going, she'll be taller than her dad! She's already  out of 0-3 month clothes, because they are just too dang short. And the 3 month clothes are just long enough on her, so I'm sure she'll be growing out of those soon too. 

Diapers: Still in a size 1. Not much has changed in that department. Going through them like crazy.. But what baby doesn't?

Eating: Exclusively breast feeding still, but she's finally taken a bottle! We now feed her a bottle of BM once a day, just to continue getting her used to it. And you know what bottle she actually took? A generic brand, of course. Because those stupid, expensive Tommee Tippee's are clearly too mainstream. Oh well, I'm not complaining. I'll go for cheaper any day.

Sleeping: She's slept through the night twice now! I figured it was because she was sick, the first time she did it. But nope! She did it last night as well. Which makes me a rather happy camper, since all I've really been wanting to do is..? You guessed it, sleep. Being sick kind of screwed things up for a bit though. She was staying awake longer than usual, which was not fun. But now she's back to her normal schedule, 9:30-7am. It's a good stretch of sleep, and I hope it stays! Still co-sleeping too, by the way. 

Milestones: She giggled at me yesterday! When I was playing around with her hands and feet. It was the most adorable thing I have ever heard (I'm only a little biased, I promise). This past month she has amazed me even more. She already has so many facial expressions and a sweet little personality. She is a momma's girl, of course. I think that's also partly because I'm the one that provides sustenance.. But I don't normally admit that, haha. When your baby is crying and the second you hold them, they stop crying.. It's literally the best feeling in the entire world. It makes you feel needed, wanted, and loved. It makes you special.
She's definitely starting to look more like me. Still looks a lot like Daddy-o though, but I'm not complaining. She is the complete opposite of him color-wise though. Blonde hair, blue eyes, pale as pale can be. She definitely takes after me in that department! We'll see if it actually sticks. 









This is one of my favorite photos. Vaughn didn't know I snapped this picture, but I had to. Olive was being fussy, and Vaughn was doing his usual goofy voices. He was trying to get her to calm down in his Donald Duck voice. You can see by her face that she wasn't so sure about it. 

I love my little family. 

xo, Jess.
