The past 2 months...

Well we are finally checking in again. We have been busy since our last post, and Sloane has been growing like a weed!

Shortly after Valentine’s we took our first road trip to College Station to visit my best friend, Meghan, and her new baby, Lane Joseph Gregory. We had a wonderful time and Sloane loved getting to meet Lane! It was a really quick trip so Sloane didn’t get to see all of the wonderful Aggieland sights, but we did have just enough time to make a quick stop at the KD house! You have to start these things early!

We have been very busy these past few months………….

We celebrated G-Pa’s birthday!

G-Mi & G-Pa giving Sloane a bath

The Brunette Babes came to meet Sloane. She loved them! She fits right in, and I think just might be a brunette, too.

At Sloane’s two-month checkup she weighed 12 lbs., 14.5oz. (95th percentile) and she was 24.5 inches long (97th percentile)! She also took her shots like a champ!

We finally got her announcements out and I had a lot of fun making them! So much fun in fact that I am thinking about opening an etsy shop with invitations and announcements! I can’t wait to work on her 1st birthday party invitations! I’m sure it will be here faster than we realize!

We took a trip to the Dallas Arboretum for pictures. I can’t wait to see them all! Of course we went during spring break on a coupon day so it looked more like Disneyworld! Mama, G-Mi & Sloane were all exhausted after that trip! The flowers were beautiful though!

She really enjoyed her first March Madness although her bracket and the Aggie men didn’t do too well. She did enjoy seeing the women win their first national championship! WHOOP!

We had a visit from Aunt Sharon & Uncle Ricky

And a visit from Granny, Grandpa & Mawmaw

4 generations!

And just this past weekend the Gregory family came in town! Sloane loved hanging out with her friends Lizzy and Lane!

And we celebrated Daddy’s 31st birthday!

Sloane is now 3 months old and just yesterday she weighed 14 pounds, 3 ounces. Sloane loves eating and sleeping! She eats 5 ounces every 2 1/2 hours and sleeps about 12 hours a night. She is smiling, “talking” and cooing all the time. She still loves taking baths and she is really enjoying tummy time. She has started getting her knees up under her this week so I think she is well on her way to crawling! She also loves playing with her toys and going on walks!

Some things we love right now:

-Having a “conversation” with her

-Seeing her smile

-How she loves to cuddle on your shoulder

-Her chubby cheeks… and getting chubbier by the day!

-How she gets so mad if you take the bottle away when she is eating.

-Waking up to her happy voice. The best alarm clock in the world!

Until next time…
