2 Months
It’s been that long since i’ve blogged… my sweet little berry is already 9 weeks old!!
is that ridiculous?!!
i mean, i know “time flies”, and i didn’t doubt the millions of people who mentioned that to us when we were pregnant (or continue to mention it to us now that she’s born… “she’ll be grown up before you know it!”), but you’d think with my eye-rolling irritability about everyone stating the obvious, and doing it with such frequency, that it wouldn’t be quite so overwhelming.
IT IS! it really is amazing how fast i feel like she’s growing up. She holds her head up really well already, she’s smiling at us when we coo at her, she gurgles and talks to us with such clever insight, i can ONLY assume she bears all of the characteristics of a certified genius in the making. It’s beautiful 
i said to her the other day, “Have you heard that album by Sonic Youth?”…
she says to me “Goo?”
“YES! that’s the one!! what did you think of it?”
“Goo…”
“Yes, the Goo album… what did you think of it?”
*gurgling and smiles* <- approval.
“Hey Rowan, what’s that stuff called again that gets the gross glue and crap off of things? something-begone?”
“Goo.”
“OF COURSE! Goo-begone! thanks angel pie!”
These are our conversations of late.
Doesn’t she look absolutely overwhelmingly adorable in her Easter dress? I COULD EAT HER!!!!
I know, i’ve skipped a whole bunch of time, jumping all the way to Easter so fast… so, i’ll try to back track a little.
It’s been crazy since she’s been born. Just getting used to the fact that i finish feeding her, burp her, change her diaper, and then look up at the clock… time to feed her again….???!!!! how is this possible?! my entire days consisted of doing nothing it felt like but these three things. And cuddling with her, of course I’m getting used to it now though, we’re developing a pretty nifty routine. and guess what!…
give up?
She slept through the night, and i mean a full 9 hours last night!! WOOHOO!!!!! GO ROWAN! soooo freakin exciting. We make a good team
We moved her out of our bed,… into the pack n’ play,… and finally, into her crib. i think it was the perfect progression. I mean, how else can you explain barely over 2 months old, and already sleeping through the night??? I had thought the pack n’ play would be more useful than it has been so far, but i’m thinking it’ll get a lot more use as we start taking her more places… out of town, etc. Nick did work very hard to put it together even used the directions!
We’ve had TONS of visitors… and yes, i get pictures with all of them. I’m not going to post them all, because it would take me FOREVER! but, they are all on facebook, so if you’re that interested, check it out there people!
i’ve been getting great use out of my camera… and i figured out something i want for my birthday this year… okay, MANY somethings. And as usual, they are of the less-than-cheap variety. Why do gifts always get more expensive as you get older? what happened to the $5 toy from Walgreens making me the happiest girl on earth?
I want to get the adobe design suite package, including photoshop, so i can start becoming an expert at this whole photo editing schtick. Also, a digital video camera, so we can have her recorded in MOTION!
i’m taking pictures of her every month for a size comparison…
Here’s her at 1 month:
I know what you’re thinking… why are you TORTURING that child?!!!… hey! she’ll LOVE this when she gets older!… and yes, sadly this was was the best shot we got.
Here she is at 2 months!!!
Oh my…
Isn’t she the most precious smushy berry face you’ve ever seen?!?!
*implodes at being overwhelmed with adorableness*
Easter was so much fun! We decorated Easter cookies, and eggs… next year Rowan should actually be able to participate, even if it’s just flinging icing all over the walls…. though i feel the need for full disclosure, our attempts at cookie decorating weren’t a whole lot better than flinging.
Lots of fun, but it took FOREVER!!! we had a TON of cookies! we decided that next year, we are going to forego the eggs, and focus on the cookies. Rowan came dressed to party, either way
i had a mini- (and by mini, i mean probably 80+ pictures) -photo shoot with her in her Easter dress. Here are just a couple of the best shots, and i challenge you to find a CUTER baby!!!! you can’t do it, can you?!! … i thought so.
i also started back to work. Part time, from home. This has been a challenge, i must say. working 8 hours, to get 4 hours of work done isn’t exactly what i was expecting. i guess if you tally up the number of times she eats a day, at about 30 minutes each time when you factor in burping and diaper changes, it’s around 4 hours of the day, so it makes sense. STILL THOUGH! holy crap! i work half the time, and it STILL feels like i can’t get everything finished! what’s up with that???
i guess it’ll just take some getting used to. Overall though, i think it’s the best possible scenario i could find, so i’m very grateful i have the option.
And now a little nostalgia
Here’s a picture of my mom holding me as a baby, and a picture Nick took of me and Rowan the other day…
Til next time! (hopefully sooner than this time :-p)
