Two Months

Hadassah is Two Months!

12 pounds 8 ounces
23.5 inches




She is full of smiles, giggles, cooing and gurgles!!






Hadassah is wearing size 1 diapers and starting to wear 3 month size clothes. She likes bath time, the sound of water, to be swaddled with her arms out, the swing and to be held.


Corban LOVED this swing too when he was a baby! Hadassah has discovered the sea creatures rotating above here head and Corban is identifying them for her.

She sleeps really well! Usually only waking once during the night just for a feeding and takes two long naps during the day. Hadassah prefers to sleep on her tummy or on me!
Awake she is very alert and watchful, has great neck control and likes to push/stand with her legs.

Schoolhouse Rock

Corban will start preschool in 4 weeks!

We are still doing "school time" at home each day (we do Language, Math, Logic, Bible, and Art), and have started this countdown to Corban's first day of preschool!Abigail has discovered the fun of drawing circles and is covering color pages (and my grocery list, to-do list, and any other paper she can find!) with them!






"castle" Abigail built

The transition to three children has gone smoothly in part because Corban and Abigail can (and like to!!) play really well together.
They truly are one another's best friend!

Abigail requests "girl time" before bed. While Chris tucks Corban in downstairs, I lay Hadassah with their heads together on Abigail's pillow and we stare, smile, and talk to each other.

Mommy's Day

I was again spoiled by Chris and the littles with a special Mother's Day of doughnuts and flowers, church and exploring a farmers market, cards and gifts (including these cute hand print tulips--I'll share Corban's interview later!), and lots of cuddling and family time!

I LOVE being Corban, Abigail and Hadassah's Mommy!!
I am abundantly blessed and loved well!

and watch this wonderful SMILING gift!!

Avon Park

Saturday we went to Avon Park to visit family and introduce everyone to Hadassah.

In the cradle, watched over by big sister

It's love bug season and they were out in swarms on the road!

Around Here

We went to a Farmer's Market and we thought Corban would be super excited about drinking from a coconut (he's talked about it several times before). While he was appreciative, he was not thrilled...he said what he wanted was to "put lime in the coconut and drink it on up, like the song!" So when we got home we added some lime juice to his coconut water and that made him very happy!

balancing with Daddy

game of hide-and-seek

"Creamy" (one on the floor), the Minnie Mouse phone (Abigail likes to take pictures and call Minnie throughout the day to give her updates on what she is doing) and "Other Lambie" (one in the purse) are favorites right now!
I painted Abigail's fingernails for the first time! It was as incentive for her to stop sucking her thumb, and she was very excited about it. Until that night, when I tucked her in and she told me I should take off her polish (her way of saying she'd rather suck her thumb but knew she wasn't suppose to!).

Daddy surprised Corban and Abigail last week by coming to watch their gymnastic classes!

Hadassah has tried a bottle twice, she wasn't sure about it but didn't absolutely refuse.




I carry Hadassah in a sling alot, it allows me to have both hands free and she is so comfortable in it!
