HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

TWO MONTHS OLD!

Cecilia is two months old today!  Sadly, she is still so tiny that she only fits into her Newborn size clothes, but she is talking up a storm (cooing and gaga)--she likes to "flirt" with one of the sofa pillows while making these noises and smiling (see picture below)-- and she is what Matt and I consider an "active" baby.  She likes to have "party time" all the time.  Matt coined this phrase and it involves lots of kicking and flailing of the arms.  We get nervous putting her in her bouncer now for fear she may break it with her party time.  Thank goodness the bouncer is equipped with straps!  Also, Ceci and I went up to Grand Forks for that later part of last week while Matt was in Austin, TX for work.  She got lots of love and cuddle time with her grandparents, uncle Kevin, great grandparents, cousins and great aunt.  It was nice to spend time with the family, but it was nice to come home and see Matt!  As for Halloween, we don't have much planned.  Matt and I will probably just walk her up and down our block to say "hi" to the neighbors, weather permitting.  Cecilia does have a costume which you will have to wait and see when I post her Halloween photos on Sunday!  For now, enjoy the photos below and Happy Tuesday!

7 Weeks Old!

Cecilia is officially 7 weeks old today!  Matt and I can not believe how fast the last 7 weeks have gone.  We are still thinking she is the little peanut that she was when we brought her home from the hospital.  Since turning 7 weeks old, Cecilia discovered how to laugh--especially when she pees on her Mom and Dad--and is starting to grasp onto objects and Mommy's hair.  She can't quite hold onto what she grabs, but she is getting there!  Mommy is thankful for she is not looking forward to the day Cecilia learns to "pull" her hair...Cecilia slept through the night for the first time last night and did not wake up until 6:45am.  She was daddy's alarm clock this morning!  Cecilia celebrated our two year anniversary with us this week by going to dinner and "buying" mommy a bouquet of beautiful flowers and daddy a pair of MN Gophers pajama pants (I would never purchase anything Gophers for Matt--GO Sioux!).  Cecilia can also roll to one side on her own, hold her head up for what seems like a long time on her own and smile on her own without it being gas or being half asleep.  Below are a few photos taken in the last 7 weeks!
