Kaiya- 2 Months!

It's crazy how fast time is going. My baby is two months old already! A part of me is sad that she's growing up so fast, but the other part of me is so happy to watch her grow! She has pretty good neck control at this point, though she's still a little bobbly. The stronger she gets, the easier it is to pick her up and multi-task since you don't have to support her neck as much. She's getting better and better about sleeping through the night too! The night before last she slept until 6am, fed, and then slept until 9am. Essentially, I was up before she was. There are still some nights when she refuses to go back in her bassinet, but the past couple nights she's been fine in there.

My favorite time of the day with Kaiya is when she first wakes up. I call it "Smiley Time" because she's always so HAPPY! She starts to stir, I peek over her bassinet and say good morning and she melts my heart because I'm always greeted with this:

Morning smiles

An uber adorbable tidbit is that in the past couple days she's suddenly discovered all the mobiles that are hanging over everything. She entertained herself for a full 20 minutes yesterday by smiling and cooing away at the little bears above her swing. It's so awesome watching her discover the world around her!

Kaiya is also officially in 0-3 month clothes. I had to put away all the newborn stuff, which was a little sad. The following picture memorialized the moment I made that decision. Note that this sleeper is not a short-sleeve sleeper ;)

In other news, Grandma Brenda sent John a photo the other day of him as a baby and I was stunned. Every time I say Kaiya looks just like her daddy people always say "She looks a little like you too" or "I don't know who she looks like more." Well people, if pictures like this don't prove it to you:

Twins!

Than maybe this one will:

How crazy is that?! If the quality of the picture on the right didn't LOOK like it was taken in 1987, I'd have thought it was of Kaiya.

And while I Kaiya may not look like me, we do share one thing:

Yes, ladies and gentleman, I've been saving my baby blanket for the past 30 years. It's still my favorite blanket for her because it's so so soft and the perfect weight for using in an air conditioned apartment:)

Finally, I'll leave you with a little collage of my favorite pics from the past couple of weeks:
