Month Two as a Family of Four

Or make that a family of six - can't leave our furry children out from the family count! Another month has passed and it has gone by so fast - I can't believe how much baby Kate is growing everyday... and quite literally too. At her 2 month check-up, she weighed in at 11 pounds 6 ounces. I went back to Conley's baby book and he only weighed 9 pounds at the 2 month mark. What a difference an easy start to breastfeeding can make! She is such a happy girl - smiling, cooing and looking all around at the world around her - and doing lots of eating. Big brother Conley is such a good helper too and is always worried when she cries or asks where she is when he doesn't see her.

Conley went to his first week of camp this month as well - a yoga camp down the street, and he loves it! It is so cute to see him demonstrate all the poses he learned - one afternoon I got him to pull out his whole repertoire and luckily caught most of it on camera. I'm so happy that he enjoyed it and expanded his book of poses beyond downward dog!

One night we were driving home and I sat in the back between the two of them and it hit me how lucky I was as I sat there holding their hands. At one point Conley looked over at me and smiled and then went back to resting his head on the seat. I love quiet little moments like that one and hope to remember it forever - along with all the not-so-quiet ones too!

Both sides of the family were away on trips for our anniversary, so we decided to spend it as a family by taking a quick one night get-away to the resort where my sister got married, Horseshoe Bay. It was a nice little trip for Kate's first vacation and Conley especially enjoyed all of the pool and "beach" time. Not a typical way to celebrate your anniversary, but we had a great time with our two little people!

And especially love little baby feet

Kate's first visit to the pool

And she seemed to like it! Unfortunately, I failed to coordinate her hat and onesie, but
this is another favorite of mine from Sapling Child and Rickshaw Design hat.

Celebrated our 11th year with Conley and Kate!


The penguin bathing suit from last summer still fits - barely!
