Lily: 2 Month Pictures!

I figured out a way around the picture limit! Enjoy!

 A big smile for the camera!

Lily: 2 Months

{So I know most of you are here to see the pictures of Lily but when I went to add them, I got the annoying little message (I know many of you have gotten lately) saying I was out of storage and needed to pay a monthly fee for more storage in order to add more pictures. So until I get that dilemma figured out (I'd love any advice from those who have had to deal with this problem!) you'll just have to do with words... sorry!}

Lily's 2nd month:

Weight: I'm going to guess she's pushing the 12lb mark! {we go in next Thursday for her 2 month appt so I'll update then}

Wears: Size 2 disposable diapers, small cloth diapers and 3month clothes.

She has been sleeping like a champ at night! She is usually out by 8-9pm, sleeps till 2-3am, eats and then sleeps till 7-8am

She's eating about every 3-4 hours during the day {occasionally she'll want to eat every 2.5 hours}

She still loves being swaddled. 

She still loves her swing {and probably spends too much time in it}

Still does well in the car {I was brave and drove Medford to Albany with both kids by myself and they did great!}

She is starting to coo and smile more 

I think her eyes are going to be blue like her brothers!

She's not a fan of tummy time

Thankfully after a trip to the doctor and some eye cream her eye cleared up quickly!

Update: Lily weighs 12lbs 7oz and is 22 3/4inch long

Blake: 2 months

Lily's Birth Announcement

I just made Lily's birth announcement using Shutterfly. When I was done ordering it the window popped up and said if I embedded my project on a blog or website and emailed them a link to that site they would then in return send me a $10 off coupon for my next purchase. With Christmas coming up, I make calendars for the Grandparents and thought that this coupon would come in handy! So here is Lily's birth announcement... some of you will be getting this in the mail soon!

Halloween 2012

Halloween was so fun this year! 

The weekend before Russ and Blake carved a pumpkin. I thought {being a boy} Blake would love the "pumpkin guts" but he wasn't too willing to stick his hand in the pumpkin and pull them out, he left that up to daddy.

Blake and the pumpkin. 

On Halloween Day we were going to go Trick-or-Treating downtown Corvallis, but Russ was on his way back from a business trip and was unable to meet us until later and I really didn't feel like braving the rain with two kiddos. Since it's pretty much become a tradition to go Trick-or-treating downtown with Michael {this would have been the 5th year!} we had to at least meet them downtown to say hi.

After visiting with Michael and Marilyn we headed to the Harvest Carnival that our church puts on every year. It's a pretty incredible carnival. There was tons of games and activities, a petting zoo, a couple bounce house/maze things, popcorn, cotton candy, hotdogs and it was ALL FREE! Such an incredible outreach to our community!

At the carnival we meet up with Luke and Becca

A cow and a monkey- best buddies!

After the carnival we meet up with the daddies who were finally off work and did some trick-or-treating! 

I was pretty surprised at how quickly Blake picked up on trick-or-treating. In between the houses he would say "more tantdy". I think I might have enjoyed trick-or-treating more then he did!

This onesie Blake wore on his first Halloween... Blake was almost 5 months old... Lily is um, only 5 weeks old! 

I can't wait till next year!
