Lucy The SLEEPER

Lucy slept through the night for a total of 8 and 1/2 hours straight! She has always been a good sleeper and I could feel her sleeping through the night coming on...

Let's hope it continues and the waking up once during the night becomes less and less!

We were planning to transition her into we room and crib this weekend anyways and I think it's the prefect time! Plus our new video baby monitor arrived (thank you target gift card givers) :)

Yeah!

Two Months

Lucy is two months and doing great! Yesterday we had her 2 month cardiology appointment and she was awesome! She was smiling and interacting with everyone she met - really quite fun. The doctor said her heart sounded great and decided not to do an echo until 4 months.

Then today was her 2 month check up with her pediatrician and we had an opposite experience. Lucy was antsy and ended up fussing through the whole thing - go figure! Plus yesterday she started to get a rash. The doctor thinks she is allergic to maybe her lotion? Don't know. It isn't that bad but we don't want it to get worse. From a health stand point Lucy is great!

She is weighing in at 10lbs 3ozs and is 21 and 3/4 long - the EXACT same size as Heidi at this age. Pretty crazy huh? I think it puts her in the 25% for height, weight and head.

She received three shots and is cranky still - which is understandable! I hope she sleeps tonight and is good for her first day at daycare!

Lucy is growing quickly!!!

The Gonzales' (and a few randoms too!)

I'm going to warn you - my photography is horrid for this blog. I think 90% are blurry - but its what I have... Grandpa Jeff left after his two week stay. Heidi was very sad to see him leave, but she keeps saying: "We will see him at Thanksgiving? Right? And that's after Halloween". ha.

The same day, the Gonzales clan came to visit and to help out for the next week. It's nice to be able to keep Lucy out of daycare some more and have family here.

Grandpa Gonzales having a deep conversation with Lucy.

Lucy is definitely smiling and interacting more. I'm trying REALLY hard to get a good picture...so far...no luck. Its awesome having her interact more! It makes me excited for the fun times ahead!

 Having another deep conversation with Grandpa...

Heidi got decked out for the game this weekend...too bad it didn't help...so painful to watch...and live in Ohio...BUT at least we all got decked out and showed our pride.

Lucy might be starting to like the bumbo seat...

Oh and Uncle Brett is here too and yes - he is sitting at the kids table...drinking a beer. :) Brett is always up for a good time and we are happy he finally made it here to Cleveland for a visit.

I don't think Lucy wanted a sister picture...

Heidi had some built up energy and decided to jump off the couch. We have been telling her not to do it for ages and I finally gave in. I thought, if she hurts herself, she will learn her lesson...well she took a knee to the face and what did she learn? Don't jump off the couch. ha.

Yes, the whole family eating at the kids table. Heidi loved it.

Chris almost had Lucy laughing tonight and I tried really hard to capture it. I got blurry pictures until, of course, the crying one is clear. Oh well...

Random cell phone picture...

Lucy sleeping and if you look closely - not only is her hand just chilling in the air, but her fingers are threaded through her blanket. Pretty funny.

After her bottle this morning, Brewski thought it was cool to share her pillow. Speaking of the dogs - they went to get their teeth clean and poor Brewski had to have 10 teeth pulled. The doctor said its very common with diabetic dogs - this poor dog - can he get a break? He is finally starting to act normal again, but I hope he will be able to eat again!

Tomorrow is the big cardiologist appointment for Lucy and Wednesday is Lucy's 2 month check up and gymnastics for Heidi. Big Week!

Gymnastics

I had to share these blurry cell phone pictures of Heidi and gymnastics - she is so cute and SO determined! I think we finally found an activity she loves!

I added a random cute morning picture of Heidi and Lucy too!

Heidi...Heidi...Heidi

I have a TON of pictures of Heidi...she has been hamming it up for the camera and doing all her model poses... First some randomness...

Don't worry - we are NOT Ohio State fans... our neighbors were testing out their lawn decorations... they texted me this picture...so not cool!!! I tricked Chris into running outside in a hurry to make it look like he was mad - ha! Hmm we might have to somehow create a Husker Little Red or Herbie in our yard for next week...

Random cell phone picture of Lucy - go Huskers!

Heidi started gymnastics last week...it started out much like dance - tears and non-participation...then it ended up turning out great! She LOVES it! Loves it! I thought she did pretty great too for a first timer - the teacher said the same thing. She is one strong little girl and was willing to try everything they asked her to do. Plus the gym does a good job of teaching basic gymnastics skills through fun circuit type activities  She can't wait to go back and keeps asking when Wednesday will come. Heidi was more than happy to show off her new outfit for Gymnastics...

Along with modeling her new gymnastics outfit, we did add some more decorations in our house - the small stool and the awesome mirror in our entry way. We also got a painting and a clock - our walls aren't as bare as before...well...no...they are still pretty bare - but its a step in the right direction!

Nana flew in to see us and Lucy for the first time this weekend - yeah! Heidi wanted to look really pretty for her and put together her outfit. I think she did a great job. :)

We made caramel pecan monkey bread and egg dish for breakfast this morning and Nana was able to sit at Heidi's table with her. Nothing better than hanging out in your PJs.

Nana is trying to get as much Lucy time as possible in her short visit.

One week of gymnastics and with a little coaching - Heidi is able to do a cartwheel! She is so excited! I'm impressed! She better not start doing back flips after this week! :)

Nana and Grandpa decided to buy Heidi some new fall clothes and Heidi is super excited - she modeled every item... She would model walk each outfit to us in the family room. I wish I was able to capture the walk better - it was pretty awesome - hands on hips and swaying back and forth. She told me its how she wants to walk for Anisa's wedding in December - THAT should be interesting.

The light was good - (I'm sort of learning Christina!) - and I like these pictures of Heidi close up. Her eyes are really becoming a neat combination of blue and green.

I'll end with three final cell phone pictures from the week.

I don't think Heidi is going to let grandpa go home this week...it will be hard for her...but at least the Gonzales family will be here. I don't know what Heidi will do once all of our visitors are gone!
