Skylar is 2 months old!

I can't believe it; my baby is 2 months old today. The last 2 months have gone by so quickly. I don't know if that is sad or wonderful. Skylar is just a doll--she is a happy baby, sweet, cute, and cuddly. But she is not sleeping through the night, not even close, and I am so tired. Leila (also sweet, cute, and cuddly) has pretty much given up naps forever and decided to be an early riser all at the same time. Patrick and I both are tired.

Skylar has grown so much in the last 2 months. I am going to the dr. tomorrow for her stats and her shots :( She outgrew newborn clothes at 4 weeks and is about to outgrow 0-3. She is very long. She can wear 3-6 month onesies even if they are a little big. She is very strong! She can hold her head up now really well. She is a little houdini and can get out of any swaddle. She flipped herself over onto her tummy two days before turning 2 months, though I have not seen it yet (she also did it at 2 weeks when she was extremely furious, haha.) Skylar loves to be held, and prefers to be upright. She has the saddest sad face you have ever seen, lip quiver and all. She is not fond of pacifiers (boo, I am a fan) and went from loving formula to hating it. Her hair is still light brown and the jury is still out on whether it will turn red or not. She definitely has Patrick's coloring though. Leila is so sweet to Skylar and fascinated by her. I have not been able to get any good pictures of them together yet though.

Update: 2 month stats

Trip to the Zoo

Trying to get out of the door with a dwadling preschooler and a newborn is almost like a comedy routine. We had hoped to leave for the zoo on what was promising to be a gorgeous fall day around 8:00 a.m., since it opens at 9:00 a.m. HA! What were we thinking?? OF COURSE Leila woke up reallly early when I was planning on packing up while they slept. OF COURSE the baby had a blow out, on Leila's bed no less. And Patrick still had to put together the double stroller. But we finally made it out the door at 9:40 a.m. and actually got good parking. We laugh that when Leila was born we did not want to take her anywhere but with baby #2 we are itching to get out of the house.

It was a beautiful day and we got to see all of our favorite exhibits--Leila's is still the goats. The most random thing ever happened at the Lion exhibit. We were looking at the lions when one of the moms next to me addressed her daughter as "Skylar." I asked if her daughter's name was Skylar to make sure I heard correctly. It turns out BOTH of the little girls on each side of us were named Skylar. So we had three Skylars in a row! What are the odds of that??? We all agreed it was a beautiful name.

Leila got to feed the giraffes--look at his tongue!

Family portrait! Doesn't the baby resemble her daddy?
