That smile :)

2 Months

I can't believe another month has gone by. Sloane is going great. She is smiling a ton now, is up for longer stretches during the day, loves playing on her activity mat (and is even scooting at 45 and 90 degrees already), sucks on her hands and fingers, and likes sticking her tongue out and smacking her lips. I love watching all her new facial expressions develop. She is our mini Justin. I think she looks more like him than Bennett did as a baby. Bennett is pure entertainment for her - she likes to watch him play and always turns her head in the direction of his voice and smiles. B adores his baby sister. Yesterday she was sitting in her bouncy chair and I walked out to find him wiping her mouth with a burp cloth b/c "mommy she spit up" and then he put her binkie in. He is so loving and caring towards her. The 6-7 week mark was a bit rough for us as Sloane had long crying spurts late at night. I'm glad that was short lived though. I can remember sleeping in the guest bed with Bennett lying on me for 2 weeks when he was that age just to get him to sleep. The past 3 nights Sloane has slept 7-8 hours!

Tahoe

The Simons hosted us for a week at a beautiful cabin on Lake Tahoe (their current cabin is under construction). We had a great week in the mountains with lots of trips to the beach and even a fishing trip for B! He caught 2 fish but wouldn't take a picture next to them b/c he was scared. ha

Portland Trip

The kids and I headed to Portland for a quick visit at the end of June. So much fun to see all my friends and family and show off baby Sloane.

In the playroom with Jack and Lauren. B had a blast with them and we're so glad they came over to visit.

Jack is a pro at holding babies. His brother Charlie is 4 months old and such a cutie.

Cutie pie Lauren holding Sloane while she yawns.

Big cousin Kennedy was so good with Sloane.

Happy Bday Grandma!

Can't believe how big Brady has gotten! We loved spending time with him everyday.

Jack & Elie came over to play too. Love these guys.

1 Month Birthday

Friday was our little girl's one month birthday. I can hardly believe one month has gone by already! We are so in love with her. Sloane is such a great baby. She goes down around 10pm and only wakes up once, usually between 3-4am, for a feeding. Yay for me! She made my heart melt earlier this week with her first smile. :) Sloane enjoys her tummy time and has really good head control. She got her 2nd Hep B shot on Friday and didn't cry. That's my girl! We've experienced a few nights of "witching hour" lately but luckily Justin is home to help tag team.

The Man Cave is my Sanctuary

I never thought I would get so much joy out of Justin's much adored man cave. Justin has been taking both kiddos down there everyday so I can get some quiet time. The garage has basically turned into Bennett's playroom so he has a ball down there playing. Justin watches sports and drinks beers in the man cave while baby Sloane sleeps in the stroller and I get to enjoy my quiet time upstairs with a BIG glass of vino. It's a win/win for all! Thank heaven for the man cave.
