Fun Week with Layton and Molly

This last week I had a lunch date with Brooke and her sweet baby boy Easton.  I had my camera but we were so busy talking I forgot to get a picture of Molly and Easton together.  We had lunch and did a little shopping.  I enjoyed it and I think Brooke enjoyed getting out of the house with Easton for the first time on her own.  Later in the week we met Grammy D and Clifton for lunch and we celebrated Grammy D's birthday.  Then it got really cold and rainy and we were stuck in the house for a few days.  Layton got a little stir crazy so thankfully yesterday the weather cleared up and the sun came out.  Clifton and I also managed to do a little shopping Saturday night with Molly in San Antonio.  She was so good we enjoyed ourselves.  Here are some random pictures from this last week.  Life is busy but I'm truly having so much fun watching both kids grow and change.  I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of this two kids thing.  It might have something to do with Molly sleeping 9 straight hours last night for the first time!!!  That is the most uninterrupted sleep I've had in months.  I feel like a new person today.  I did 7 loads of laundry and put it all away, cleaned all the bathrooms, ran on the treadmill, planted a bunch of flowers outside, cooked a new recipe for dinner from pinterest tonight, made homemade snicker doodle bars for dessert, played outside with Layton this evening and of course enjoyed taking care of Molly all day too.  It is amazing how much you can get done in a day if you get up and get moving and have sleep the night before.  Not sure why I'm still up tonight but I was on a mission to update the blog today too I guess.

Molly is 2 Months Old

My sweet baby is already 2 months old.  I took her to her 2 month checkup on Friday and here are her stats:  

13 lbs. 9 oz. 96th percentile

24 inches long 98th percentile

Wears 3-6 month clothes and 6 month sleepers

size 1 shoe

size 2 diapers

Needless to say she is going to be a big girl.  She is really starting to coo a lot these days and she has discovered her hands.  During tummy time she will roll from her tummy to her back if she gets mad enough.  She likes to stand up now when I hold her on my lap and she loves to kick her legs.  She has really filled out in the last few weeks and has little rolls on her thighs now.  This last week she has been back to sleeping great.  She has been going 6 hours and then 4-5 hours so I'm usually only up once at night to feed her.  During the day she is still following the cycle of eating every three hours and then she stays awake for about 45 minutes to an hour and then naps until she is ready to eat again.  She naps the best in her nap nanny or swing.  She is still sleeping in a cradle in our room because I do not want her to wake up Layton at night and their rooms are right next to each other.  I'm going to work on transitioning her to her room in the next few weeks.  She is now on Prevacid because we felt like the Zantac wasn't really working for her anymore with the acid reflux.  I feel like I can already tell a difference in the last few days.  I think it is working so much better.  Today was the first day I was able to shower with her awake and she just sat in the nap nanny and talked and hung out without fussing for 30 minutes while I got dressed.  Usually if I try to take a shower and she is awake she screams the whole time and it is stressful.  She is a mama's girl and isn't too sure about Clifton yet.  I hope she grows out of that quick because she is too young to be picky about who is holding her.  These last two months have gone so fast I hope the next too go by a little slower. 

This last picture is Layton at 2 months old.

Week 8 with Molly

 

All ready for a little shopping and pedicures with Grammy D.

 Layton has gotten so good at entertaining Molly and making her smile these days.

 Lazy Saturday morning in Mommy and Daddy's bed

 This picture cracks me up poor Molly.

Pictures from Last Weekend

Last weekend Clifton and I enjoyed a night out to ourselves at the Wild Game Dinner and Dance.  Clifton was given tickets so my parents watched the kids for a few hours.  It was nice but I couldn't wait to get back to see the kids.  Clifton and I danced quite a bit that night which we haven't done in so long so that was fun.  We were back at my parents house by 10:30.  I told Clifton I feel so old these days I was ready to go home and get in bed.

 

Here are some random pictures I took of Molly last weekend with my nice camera.

 This was my grandmother's Molly's great-grandmother's (Fannie Grace Hindes) silver napkin ring that she used as a small child at every meal.  You can see it is bent from her teething on it as a toddler.  If you look closely it has the name Grace engraved on it. 

 Trying out the bumbo for the first time.

 I love it when she makes this face.

 I walked in the living room and Layton said he was pumping LOL.

 Layton loves to haul stuff and he manged to figure out a way to connect his matchbox case to his car.
