Talli hit her two month mark on Friday. It's amazing how quickly the time goes by once they are here. She is getting big so fast. At two months she is...
smiling
holding her head up so good
finding her hands and trying to suck on them
sleeping through the night for eight or nine hours like a
champ
taking three to four hour morning naps everyday
loves to suck on a pacifier
cooing and talking a lot
sitting up in her bumbo for about 3-5 minute stretches
becoming a Mommy's girl
surviving Maylee and Dutch
She is quite the perfect little baby, at least to me. She weighed 11.5 pounds, 50 percentile, she is 23 1/2 inches long, 90th percentile and her head is still average at 39 1/2 centimeters, yay Talli. Last Tuesday Dutch got his very first face plant that end up in scabs. He was running around the splash pad and he slipped and fell but lucky for him his face was there to break his fall. He scrapped up his nose and forehead pretty good. It actually looks worse in person. Friday we made a quick over night camping trip to Mount Charleston with some friends. The trip started off pretty bad trying to get out of the house. Both Maylee and Talli had to get shots and when they woke up from their naps they were pretty hysterical but after taking some medicine we were finally able to head up the mountain. We had a great time. The kids of course loved exploring and throwing pine cones in the fire, roasting marshmellows, looking for bugs, and playing with their friends, Luke and Brooke. The only down fall was the weather. It was freezing cold. We have a small tent so we aired up our queen mattress and Dutch, Maylee, David and I all slept on that with seven blankets and two sleeping bags and we were still cold. Well Dutch and Maylee were fine they were in the middle but David and I kept falling out and getting cold by the edges. It dropped down do 30 degrees in the middle of the night. Talli still slept great but woke up early at 4:30 because her hands had escaped her blankets and they were freezing. So then we had five of us on the mattress. Talk about miserable. We definitely need a bigger tent. But we survived the night. Notice all the snow on the mountain in the background.

You took Talli camping!?! You brave soul you! Ashlynn is 5 months and I wouldn't DARE! I just feel like it's a too scary for me. I'm not that adventurous with this baby of mine!
