The last day of being 2 months old!

Since Amaya is getting older we are slowly integrating toys into her day. We finally got to check out Tiny Tots in Campbell, a upscale childrens store and I was thrilled to see that they carry Under the Nile organic cotton toys. We got her the green bean, strawberry and a brown lovey that Daddy likes to tuck in her stroller when we go out!





Amaya decided that she likes her swing now so I try to mix it up and put her in there to take a nap or so I can get some writing done. We still try to chat with Daddy during the day so she doesn't forget who he is and it is so cute to see her smiling at the computer screen. When it comes to tummy time, Amaya is still very annoyed that we have to do it as the photos show.....

12 Weeks Today!

This weekend was a busy one for our family. On Saturday we headed over to cousin Samara's birthday party at Chucky Cheese. Amaya spent some time in Grandma Carol's arms and we got a few pictures of the birthday girl who was very excited! After that we headed over Grammie's house and visited there before running over to Uncle Bob and Aunt Celia's house for Cousin Julian's birthday party. Whew!

Amaya got to spend time with Auntie C while daddy swam and belly flopped into the pool. I on the other hand took so many photos of all the kids and I got some great shots. It was so hot but I think everyone was happy that Bob and Celia opened up their beautiful yard for the shindig.



Sadly, we are heading into the final days of Amaya being two months old. I'm not sure where the time has gone but she is changing everyday. While her eye lashes and eye brows continue to grow, her hair has decided that it wants to fall out. I'm hoping that she keeps her reddish brown tint when it grows back. Amaya still prefers to sleep in our bed much to my horror. I'm still hoping that we can transition her back to her bassinet it's hard since it feels so nice to just sleep for long periods of time. Serves me right since I had a really strong opinion about co-sleeping but like my mommy group moderator says, "Do what works for you."

11 Weeks Today

Seriously, where does the time go? Everyday I look at my baby girl in wonder and awe. We brought her home barely 4 pounds and now she is probably about 9 pounds of smiley glory. She is sleeping much longer through the night, waking up 1-2 times for a quick snack before falling back into her dreaming. By the way I tell P that I think she dreams of "mommy milk."

She smiles so much it really does make me a sappy mess.

Current milestones include lifting her head up for longer periods. Everytime she does this I cringe because #1- Her head is always bobbly and I'm afraid she'll smash it down and #2- this means she is growing up even more :( I know I should be thrilled considering she was a itty bitty preemie but this time is flying by so fast!!

Pro Family Pics!

We decided to get some pro family pics taken of us since we had literally no pics of us together. My talented friend Kemmeo brought the stuff to our house and we proceeded to have a photo shoot in our living room. Amaya peed on Paul three times but in the end it as all worth it, right Paul? :-)

Here's what Kemmeo said about our shoot....

"After photographing little Amaya, I drove home with the sweetest little lullaby, 'Amaya Bella' in my head. Her mommy sang it to her to keep her calm and to get her attention during the session. I will say that this family has debunked the theory that something is lost when a baby and mother do not get to bond within the first 2 hours of birth. This was one of the most loving and intimate families that I've seen in a long time and Amaya clearly knows that she is loved. If you don't believe me, look at those big brown eyes when she gazes up at her Mama and Papa! Thank you for sharing your afternoon Paul and Tiffany!"

The End of Summer

Here are some more 2 month pictures taken throughout the last week. We've been enjoying the last few weeks of summer before school starts, visiting with friends and making sure that we try to document as much as possible.

Amaya has been smiling more and I caught a few grins on the camera!

2 Months Old Today!

Do you like the pic? LOL

Paul calls this her Elvis face since her lip is curled. She was actually smiling here, I think I just missed it. So in two months everything is going pretty good albeit, time is flying by. My little 3 pound peanut turned into a 7 pound pudgy baby! We still get comments asking if she is a newborn which always gets a laugh from me. She looks little to everyone else but to me and Paul she looks massive compared to how she looked when she was born. Tomorrow we have her 2 month appointment so I will update with her stats and such!

I snapped these pics while my lovies were sleeping this morning! Amaya was in the middle of the bed on her lap pad and she wiggled all the way up under daddy's arm. Too cute!






And on we go.....
