2 months old,.. say it isn't so

Can't believe my baby is 2 months old already, I swear I waited forever to start showing when I was pregnant, and waited to first feel her move, and we waited to find out if baby was a boy or a girl and we had to wait for her to be born, ( 3 days past her due date!!) and now I wish time would wait just a little so I had more time to enjoy her being a baby!!! Piper's big accomplishments this month have been becoming a jabber jaw, pushing herself around with her feet, which now explains why I find her rotated 180 degrees from the way I put her to bed, and the other night she rolled onto her belly, with some assistance from the couch!!! She has her poppi completely wrapped around her little finger, and loves to make her poppi and her grammie fight over who gets to hold her (even her uncle gogo is wrapped)!! It's amazing the difference in my brother Jeremy since Piper has been born, she loves being an uncle and even told me he missed a few weeks ago and that I needed to come back up and visit, apparently seeing us once a week isn't enough!!!! These are just a few of my favorite pictures from the past month!!! On Friday, June 4th we have her 2 month check up, not looking forward to the shots, but looking forward to seeing how much my baby girl has grown since April!!!! If the scale at my mom's was right yesterday baby girl weighs almost 12 lbs!!!!!! I'll be sure to update next week on much she has grown!!!!!

waiting for her grammie to come home!!!!

daddy and his girl!!!!!

I'm ready to go shopping!!!!!

Date Night!!!!!

Tonight my hubby is taking me out on a date for my Mother's Day!!! We get to see a movie for the first time in I can't tell you when and after he's taking me out to dinner. My mom and dad offered to babysit for Piper while we go out. Piper and I spent the day today with my mom and my sis in law and my niece Rylee and mom just dropped me off at home and is driven off with my baby girl in the backseat, and I wanted to cry!!! I can't imagine if I'd had to go back to work this past Monday, as my 6 weeks of maternity leave are up, I would be a basket case. I couldn't ask for better babsitters than my family, except for Kurt's, but it still broke my heart to watch my baby girl drive off without me!!! Maybe I can consider this preparation for college someday?? Now I have to try and enjoy myself for the next 6 hours without my baby, who would've thought that would be soo hard. It's funny at times when I'm home with her and she won't nap and I can't get anything done I wish for my mom to come over and take care for a bit so I can shower or clean or do whatever but right now I could do all that stuff because she's not here it just feels wrong. Maybe I'll have to do more hunting for a way to stay home with her so I won't have leave, although I'm sure as are little family starts to grow I'll be begging for days like today!!! Oh well, it's date night I better make the most of it, who knows when I'll get another!!!!

... just a swingin'......

Monday night we had Auntie Kat babysit for Piper while daddy and I went to get baby girl a swing. She's only been in it twice but so far she seems to be enjoying it. I was a little nervous that she wouldn't like it because we have a vibrating bouncy seat and she doesn't like that very much, especially when it vibrates. Last night she was in her swing before bed and she was talking to the birds. If you listen closely near the very beginning it sounds like she says "hi". One of these days I'm going to get her on video saying hi so that it's easier to hear, she says "hi" all the time, I know I'm bragging but I'm very proud of her barely 6 weeks old and already saying her "first word". Way to go Piper, you're a very smart little girl!!!!
