A Special Gift

I got this in today's mail... it was handpainted by one of Granny's adult students.

Isn't it cute!

Dr. Visit

I had my 2 month check-up today.

Weight - 13 lbs 0.5 oz - 95%
Height - 24 inches - 95%
Head - still normal :) - 88%

I had to have a lot of medicine today. Yuck. But I did very well, and soon after getting my 3 (!) shots, I took a couple of drags off the pacifier, and went right to sleep.

So here's the results of the second attempt at a 2-month picture...while cute, you can see I wasn't that into it...

So Mommy's been trying to get a good pic of me for my 2 month picture... here are some of the out-takes. She may or may not try again - just depends...

Thank goodness our weather took a turn for the better - nothing like a 35 degree drop in 2 days :) which means I can wear this cute outfit maybe once before it gets warm again and I outgrow it...







Here I am checking out the Bumbo seat. Still not quite ready as far as my neck strength, but I definitely am not too small for it.

See...

I like my new play mat - the monkey is my friend.

The Saga of the Playmat

This story starts a few weeks ago with Mommy in a de-cluttering frenzy. Things were de-cluttered, including an infant gym that Willow had (via a yard sale for $5). Mommy was not fond of this play gym, and thought "hey, if Rose ever wants to use one, it should be easy to find another one when the time comes."

HAHAHAHAHA

Apparently, infant gyms (or playmats as Mommy calls them) are made of GOLD, and thus very expensive to buy, and even pricier to ship.

Mommy was sad. She even went back to the thrift store to see if they had the play mat that was Willow's. No go. (but not surprised)

In a last ditch attempt, Mommy posted to freecycle that she wanted one.

*heavenly choruses sing*

A woman replied to Mommy's post, and today I got my play mat. It's better and nicer looking than Willow's was, and it was FREE. (minus the cost of gas to go pick it up)

Yay!!!

My sadness in these pictures is only b/c I'm hungry - trust me, I'll like this play mat.
