Two Months

At two months old, Eydie is starting to fill out more and get little rolls on her thighs and arms. Her hair is laying down a little more now that it's getting longer. And she is starting to smile more at us and stay awake longer. Her big, gummy smile when she wrinkles up her nose is the sweetest thing. The longest she's slept during the night is 6 1/2 hours which was AWESOME! Of course I couldn't sleep that long so I was wide awake for the last hour of that waiting for her to wake up. And she only slept that long one time. Usually it's more like 3 or 4 hours at a time during the night, but at least we know she's capable of it!

Outtakes:

Eydie met her great-grandparents on my dad's side.
They drove in from Seminole to see her.

She's starting to like bath time a little more.

Our changing table is a vanity, and she likes to look at herself in the mirror.

Well, school starts next Monday and this is the first time in 23 years that I'm not going to be there. It feels very weird not to be getting back-to-school supplies and setting up my classroom. I miss it more than I thought I would. But, I am very thankful that I'll be able to be home with Eydie and enjoy this time as a mama while she's so small. Everyone has told me that this time goes by so fast, so I want to enjoy it while it lasts!

Carly and Ben get hitched!

We had a great time celebrating with Carly and Ben, and Eydie proved to be a great traveler. Of course it helps having family around to hold her for us. She slept the whole way there and back in the car and didn't cry much unless she was hungry. We enjoyed the rehearsal dinner Friday night, a bridal brunch Saturday morning, the wedding Saturday night, and hanging out at the pool in between. Carly made a beautiful bride and we are so excited for her and Ben! We've loved watching them love each other and look forward to seeing what God has in store for them.
