A Month Older

In keeping with tradition, here is Shiloh's 6 month post. Yep, she is another month older
and just as love-able as ever! Here's what she's been up to lately...

• sucks on 2-3 fingers to self-soothe
• rolling front-to-back-to-front
• showing the first signs of trying to army crawl but not moving
• loves to blow bubbles/make raspberries
• has had a few swimming lessons already and seems to enjoy the pool at Tessa's house
• just got her first "new"(not hand-me-down) toy, Sophie the Giraffe, which was a total splurge but worth every penny cause she LOVES it! (and thanks to our good friend Taffy we did not lose her tonight!)
• Wearing a baltic amber teething necklace full-time now. With such a content and happy baby it's a little difficult to tell if it's working but even if it's not it looks so darn cute!
• Still as cute as a button in her fluffy, cloth diapered bottom. 
• Not always sleeping through the night now =/ but that's okay since she is such a sweet cuddler
• Starting to sit up, but is still working on those abs
• Beginning to show interest in food, but we'll try to wait a bit longer...that just creates one more thing to think about and, really, I don't think she's starving.

5 Months

I can hardly believe it was 5 months ago that Shiloh Grace was born. She is an absolute joy. She continues to be our sleep-through-the-night, content and happy little girl. I think she is beginning to teethe so these may be some of the last gummy photos we take of her.

Simple joys

We have been busy with many different things lately and I missed Shiloh's 4 month post. So I thought I would post this video I got of her rolling over. The simple joys are such a blessing!

Our Girls: 2 years and 3 months

What a blessing these two girls are for our family!

2 Months

It is amazing that Shiloh is already 2 months old! She is such a sweet addition to our family. She continues to live up to her name and is a very content and 'peaceful' baby. She sleeps so well I still have not gotten used to it! I constantly check on her for fear that something is wrong...do babies REALLY sleep in 3 and 4 hour chunks?! Until Shiloh I thought not! She does love to sleep in our bed at night though, but she isn't doing it to nurse nonstop like Malachi did, she seems to just enjoy getting her cuddle time with mama and papa all to herself.

She is cooing and smiling, always a treat to begin to have that kind of interaction with a little baby. She's lifting her head up while on her tummy and seems to enjoy tummy time in general.
At her 2 month appointment on Tuesday we found out she's in the 95th percentile for length and weight. Gotta love her chunks!

Malachi and Zoe continue to love on, and when I say "on" I really mean ON, her :). Let's just say that the phrase "Give her space" is said many, many times a day! But I am oh so grateful that they adore her.

Sibling Love

Malachi and Zoe have been doing an amazing job of playing together. I love that they can be in the back yard and enjoy time on the trampoline, in the sandbox or digging in the dirt...together!

UPDATE: Right after I posted I heard screaming from the back, only to find out that they were throwing sand at each other. So, it is not always peaceful between them, it's more of a love-hate thing but at least the love part is becoming more and more common...I think...gotta go cause I hear more screaming. :)
