2 Months of Precious

Today our little angel is 2 months old!  It's crazy how fast she is growing up.  She is such a little sweetheart.  She steals our hearts with her smiles and is so fun to hold and play with.  She is an extremely content and mild little baby, which I am incredibly grateful for.  I think Heavenly Father knew I needed a mild baby (since I'd been praying for it my whole pregnancy) to help me not stress out and go crazy over the whole two kids thing.  Colton, bless his heart, has also been entering a bit of a terrible two's phase combined with being a complete daddy's boy.  I love that little boy with all my heart but I am so grateful right now to have a little sweetheart who loves her mommy and hardly ever cries!  She also loves baths, ever since the first one!

Big smiles since the beginning!! (4 wks old)

Little girls are so fun to dress up!

Katelyn's two month appointment went well for the most part.  She is healthy and growing, but we did have a bit of a scare.  Her left hip was popping and has ever since birth.  The pediatrician was worried it could be developmental hip displasia- which can cause problems with walking.  If she had it, she would have to be referred to a special doctor and have to wear a cast until the hip set correctly.  We took her in for an ultrasound this week to check for the condition.  She was such a little trooper!  She just laid on the hospital bed and looked around and kicked her legs, as content as can be, while the lady performed the ultrasound.  Friday we got a call back from the doctor to tell us that the ultrasound was normal and nothing is wrong with her hip!  Yay!!  Katie also had a bad reaction to her two month shots.  She cried during the shots (always so heart breaking!!) but then fell asleep and was fine for the next couple hours.  However, when she woke up she was screaming her head off.  It was time for her to eat and I tried to feed her but she would eat a for like 5 seconds and then pull off and scream again.  Her face was so red from screaming and it was horrible.  We finally found a position we could hold her in that didn't hurt her legs as much and it reduced her cry to a whimper but she was miserable for hours.  It was horrible seeing my little smiley, happy baby so upset and in pain!  The next morning when she woke up she was back to all smiles!  We are so grateful for our two healthy, beautiful little kids that our Heavenly Father has blessed us with!

We've also been enjoying the weather warming up lately.  It's so fun to have a backyard I can take the kids into to enjoy the sunshine worry free!  Colton's a big fan of his sidewalk chalk and bubbles he got in his Easter basket!

Enjoying the weather!  He likes the deck much better than the sidewalk...

22 months old and smiling with food in his mouth :)
