{2 Months}

Baby girl is 8 weeks today and she is so. much. fun.

She smiles and coo's more often now and my heart melts every time. I can't believe she has been a part of the family for 8 weeks now and I am so excited to continue watching her grow and learn. I have the best job ever and I'm so thankful to Truman for supporting me in staying home with her.

A few fun facts about Pen:

-We call her strange things. Like Turtle and Pennifer. She makes this adorable face that looks like a turtle and, well, I have no idea where Pennifer comes from. This is coming from the people that call our dog Beans...

-She farts toots like a 40 year old man. And we laugh uncontrollably every time. So immature.

-Still loves to be held. Throws a fit when we try to put her down in her bouncer. I've had to find the right balance between holding her and letting her fuss a little. But most of the time I give in and hold her because she's just too darn cute.

-Slept through the night for the first time last night! I'm going to try not to hold her to that standard from now on, but I'm totally okay with being at that stage if that's the case.

-Loves to look at lights. Anytime she's being fussy, we put her in front of the bright bathroom lights (or the Christmas tree) and she loves it.

I can't imagine life without this little girl. I'm learning that the life of a mother is not always a glamorous one. Trying to balance personal hygiene and my duties as a wife has been hard, but it is so rewarding.
