Rhys @ 2 months & a September update

Rhys turned 2 months old yesterday!  We managed to get a few pictures, to mark her big day.

The girls playing on the play mat this morning - Natalie wanted to lay under the toys too.

Rhys doesn't have a lot of newness since last week.  Still on the 3hr plan during the day, waking up 1 - 2 times at night for food, cooing, smiling, and likes to "stand" on our laps.  She loves to sleep in the swing during the day - haven't had to resort to that at night, but it's a lifesaver during the day!

Stats:
Weight: approx 12.5lbs - we go to the Dr. next week for official 2 mo stats
Height: 22 - 23in, not sure exactly
Diapers: finishing up a pack of size 1s and then we are off to 2-land.
Clothes: comfy in her 0-3mo clothes, though not sure how much longer!

Here's a few more pictures from our week.

Swim class is Friday nights - and Natalie has so much fun!  Here's a picture of us getting ready to leave.  She is so hard to pin down to change, so we put her suit on at the house before we leave.  To keep her carseat dry, we put her diaper over the suit.  Looks funny, but it works!

She loooooves to run across the hippo.  Its a piece of foam and she loves running from one side to the other and jumping in.  By far her favorite part of the class...she even cries when she has to wait her turn.

Cheyne & Amanda were in town and brought baby Briar over for a visit.  He was crawling all over the floor and having a blast with Natalie and her balloons.  Can't wait until Natalie and Rhys can interact like this!

Pajama time - hanging out Sunday morning.

Today I've had both girls at home by myself.  First time for the whole day.  Natalie had a fever last night (it's gone now, thankfully!), so we had to keep her home from daycare.  The girls have both been so well behaved.  Almost like they know I'm alone and could use a break.  I'm sure it wouldn't be this way everyday, but I'm thankful they've had a good day.  Natalie is even napping..!  I told her "in a few minutes, you need to go take a nap" and she ran off to her room and laid down in bed!  I got about 45 minutes of silence with both girls napping and snuck in a shower at 1:45pm. Better late than never. And, thats the definition of a successful day at home for moms of newborns, right??
