2 months old!

Scarlett June turned 2 months on June 22nd. I can't believe that we have been blessed to have her for 2 months already. Time sure does fly by fast. She gets cuter and more adorable everyday. She has all sorts of new tricks and I love to see what the next thing she's going to do is going to be. Every second of every day I feel like the luckiest girl to get to be Scarlett's mother. She brings so much joy and fulfillment in my life. She consumes my every thought and I can even remember what life was like before her. And I love it!

At 2 months Scarlett:

• Talks all the time (well baby talk, coos and squeals, and gurgles) - and really seems like she's trying to have a conversation back and forth
• Loves to scratch her fingers on what ever pillow is behind me when I burp her
• Claws and grasps at my shirt while nursing
• Has found her hands, and finds them fascinating when they cross into her field of vision
• Sucks very loudly on her hands - its the darn cutest thing ever
• Is 13.3 lbs and 23 1/2 inches long at her 2 month check up
• Is still in the 80% for weight and height, and 90% for her head
• Sucks on her big bottom lip all day long
• Smiles all the time, especially when she meets eye contact with you - it makes her extremely happy and giddy
• Is almost growing out of her 3 months sizes :(
• Finds baby einstein mozart to be fascinating one second and then horribly scary the next
• Still only fully giggles in her sleep but does do a really happy squeal now 
• Holds, grasps, and shakes her rattles
• Loves to stand up with her legs straight while we are holding her
• Makes her Mama's and Dada's day every time she smiles 

Oh Hello!

 Sleeping in her little lamb with reverent hands

So serious

 Scarlett's first swim in the heated Baze pool

 Scarlett's friar tuck balding pattern. Look at those rolls!!!

 Scarlett loves to sit on my knees like this and just push herself up and down

 Biting her big bottom lip. Its her new favorite friend

 Standing on Dada. I told doug to move his hands so we can tell she's doing it on her own. Thats why he looks so funny in these pics ;)

 Pouty face, about to make her even bigger pouty face when she sticks out her bottom lip. Wish I had a picture of that...its so cute!

  Scarlett took a really long nap and woke up looking at me half angry, half confused about what just happened. So cute!

 Why hello fists...Her other best friends

 Scarlett's first swim

 I love this bathing suit! Smile!

1 month old!

This is a little late, seeing how Scarlett is 2 months now, but I know I'll want to look back at each month post so I'm doing it now.  Better late then never right?
At 1 month Scarlett:

• Smiles her heart out and loves to get smiles in return.
• Eats like a champ and was 11.9 lbs at her first month check up - thats over 3 lbs in just 1 month!
• In the 80% for height and weight, and 90% for head. Our baby girls got some brains!
• Giggles all the time in her sleep and while nursing. I have yet to figure out what is so funny why she nurses, but she still refuses to fully giggle while awake.
• Loves to be in the baby bjorne, but oddly enough fights the sling until she finally falls asleep. I think she feels too restricted in the sling. 
• Loves to stretch out, especially right after getting out of her swaddle. I have yet to catch it on video but I promise I will, because it is the cutest thing ever.
• Likes tummy time, but just for a very short amount of time.
• Can follow you and other objects with her eyes.
• Can turn her head from side to side while on her tummy.
• Has held her head up from week 1.
• Loves sparkly things (like Grandma Hansen's crystal chandeliers - she thinks they are really funny).
• Likes the stroller, hates the stroller, likes the stroller, hates the stroller - its a love/hate relationship they've got going on.
• Loves to sleep in her little lamb swing. In fact I sometimes get jealous of the swing that it can sometimes sooth her better then me. And then I love it again. I guess the swing and I have a love/hate relationship as well.
• Loves to shower with her Dada. Hates to be bathed, in the sink, in her bath, anytime anywhere -hates it!
• Gives us warning sounds and noises before breaking out into a full cry. Kind of like "I warned you mama, now if you don't do it, I'm gonna have a breakdown!"
• Is the most beautiful strong amazing incredible loveable kissable baby in the whole world in my opinion.

 Week 1 holding her head up

 Like father like daughter

 Her little lamb swing aka my biggest competitor

 Tummy time

 So wiggly and so smiley. I couldn't get a clear shot but I kinda like how this one is fuzzy. It captures the movement and moment.

 Scarlett and some of her Hansen cousins. She's the sleepy purple one who slept through the whole photo shoot.

 Now there is a smile!

 Playing

 She quite often falls asleep with these teddy bear ears in her mouth. Its adorable.

 "WHOA! Look and my arms and legs go!"

First walk out in the Bjorne and her sun hat

 1 month old and just as precious as ever

These were taken when Scarlett was only 4 weeks old. Our amazing and talented friend Aubrey took them for us and we couldn't be more pleased with all the beautiful shots she got of our little baby girl. Enjoy!
