2 1/2 months!

Looks like she's had a rough day of eating, sleeping, and pooping!

Little Mirella just keeps on growing! It seems like she's doing something new everyday or at least every week. It's so exciting!! But at the same time so sad...she's really growing fast! Too fast!

As you probably all know by now (and after seeing my last post) that the 2 newest members of the family arrived last Tuesday the 19th...THE SAME DAY! It was a very very exciting day to say the least! Brooke Elise and Sophia Jane are adorable little babies. I am looking forward to watching them grow up with Mirella and seeing the trouble they get into. I can't wait to see them again!

Mirella has really started coo'ing (I like to call it talking) a lot lately, and she has also really started holding her head up very well when on her tummy.She also enjoys bath time very much, and I threw in some mini duckies the last few baths and she enjoys kicking the water when they touch her feet.
Some photos that Auntie Peggy took before we left to go back home.
And just a random piccie of a cute surfer bathing suit I found on clearance at Old Navy.
Mirella and her new cousins!
...having trouble uploading pics...will fix later...

Mirella's 2 month check up!

I can't believe she's 2 months old already! Boy does time fly! She went to the doctor for her 2 month check up on Tuesday afternoon. She's a healthy growing baby girl! She's now 10lbs 11oz, that's up a about 1 1/2 lbs from last months check up. She's 22 1/4 inches long and her head is 15 1/2 inches around. Both her height and her head size are in the 50% range, so she is average.
She had her first round of shots done. Poor baby! One shot in each leg. She had the look of fear in her eyes before the needle even went in, as if she knew something bad was going to happen. I felt so bad!! She screamed for a little bit afterwards, I did everything I could to calm her. Took about 10 minutes or so, then we were on our way home. She was pretty sleepy the rest of the evening and the whole next day, she didn't seem bothered by the shots making her legs a little sore. So thats good!
Whenever she's on her tummy she tries to do an army crawl. She wants to move around so bad!! I will post a video of it. She also loves to lock her legs and stand up. It's really cute!
She's smiling all the time now, she's so much fun! It's so easy to get her to smile. I couldn't have asked for a better baby!
The baby cousins Sophia and Brooke should be here any day now. Looking forward to meeting them! Mirella is super excited too! :)

Here's the video of her army crawl. It's not a great video...hard to catch her in action.


Here she is with her band-aids from her shots. :(
Just a really cute pic of her asleep on her tummy time mat.
And another really cute pic of her in a sweet little outfit my friend Eve got for her :)
One more video of her from the other morning when she was watching her Ocean Wonders aquarium in her crib. She was talking to it. Sooo cute!! (Sorry it's a little bit dark.)



That's all for now! I'll post more stuff as I take them. :)
