Dottie Rae: 2 Months

Seriously still trying to figure out how my little newborn turned 2 months overnight.... Dottie is the sweetest little thing. Very go-with-the-flow, mellow, although she is starting to get a little more fussy, just an all around sweet little thing. I often say I couldn't have dreamed up a better baby. Which with our spicy toddler we need it ;) She is so smiley and loves to be talked to and looked at. Over loved by big sis-- Goldie is always so concerned about dottie's well-being, and often says "oh no! Dottie tie!" or "Hi Dottie dot!" (the nickname Goldie gave her that has stuck) Getting her shots was so sad! Dottie doesn't ever scream cry, its usually more of a whimper, but man those shots made her scream!! Which of course breaks my heart!

Weight: 10 lbs (16%)
Height:
Head:

Clothes: Size 1 diapers, 0-3 tops and bottoms, bottoms are still a little big, but with her long body the tops won't last too much longer, We got her ears pierced!!

Eating: I am nursing and she eats great!

Sleeping: Thankfully... she is sleeping great! She usually sleeps from about 10-6 every night! Which is awesome.. the past couple nights she has been waking up around 4, but really I can't complain about that either.

 She is already getting so strong and can stand up with her little bird legs, and pulls herself up to sit, it's so cute but so sad! I want her to stay my newborn forever!!

This is my happy

Last week I was so exhausted. Goldie was sick with a fever, and a sore throat/dry-raspy cough (possibly croup), and Dottie wasn't sleeping, and I was literally losing my mind. Sleep deprived, and crazy from a tired newborn, and sick 22 monther, that just wanted to be held. Let's just say I dumped oatmeal straight in the garbage after opening the package instead of a bowl, and a couple days later I put the cream cheese in the junk drawer instead of the fridge. #winning

This week I'm a new woman! Goldie is better, and happier, and Dottie is sleeping almost through the night! I almost don't want to say that out loud in case I would jinx it... but yay!! Hopefully it sticks. But regardless if I'm sleep deprived or not, I am as happy as I could  have ever imagined, and am so in love with my sweet family. 













Family photos are from Emily check her out on insta (@edevenney) because she was perfect at capturing us. No stress! Even Scott had a good time so.... ;)

Dottie's Blessing

Dottie was blessed on October 9, 2016. Scott gave her the sweetest blessing. He is such an amazing Dad to our girls. We were surrounded by family and are so grateful to those who made this day even more special.

Goldie didn't want any pictures... just food.

Still sad we were missing Goldie in the picture, but like I said she wouldn't leave the food.
