Sammi 2 months

At 2 months, Sammi weighed 10 lbs and 10 oz. She was 23 inches long. She sleeps for 6-8 hours at night the only problem is it is 3 hours before I go to bed so I still have to wake up in the middle of the night. She only takes small cat naps during the day but I think it's because she has been so spoiled during naps that she likes sleeping in some one's arms. She is smiling a whole bunch, loves listening to Ellie sing the ABC's, and playing with Ellie.

 Sammi is really smiley and talkative when sitting in her chair. Although every time the orange light on the camera, she would stop smiling.

She is growing up so fast, but I love watching her learn new things and interact with Ellie.

Back in Utah

So after what seemed like forever of not seeing family (with exception to grandmas' visits), we finally made a trip back to Utah. And like most of our trips, it was jam packed with things. We spent all the time with family so that Ellie could be reacquainted and Sammi could be introduced to everyone.
Part of the reason for our trip was the annual Watterson family reunion. This year it was in Ophir (an extremely small town further west than Cedar Fort. Grandma Bonnie was nice enough to let us borrow her motor home for the trip which was nice and rough for the same reason; the wind.

Ellie loved playing with all her cousins and 2nd cousins.

There were crafts, activities (rock climbing, zip line and a movie), and the raffle. I made some hoodie towels for the raffle but forgot to take a picture. Trust me, they were very cute.

Since we were in Utah with family, we decided it would be best to bless Sammi with everyone around. Rob and Kris were kind enough to let us use their house for the whole shindig. Of course, I was terrible at taking pictures again (none with Ellie and Sammi or just Sammi wearing the dress).

It was a perfect day and Sammi was such an angel. She was patient and happy with everyone passing her around.

We also drove downtown to see the new City Creek mall. That is a really fun place. I think the people who worked on it did a great job. The fountains are great. We also went out to dinner to celebrate Jake's and Stefanie's birthdays and spend some time with old friends. We celebrated my mom's birthday with Annie, Brian and their family (by seeing their new house, having dessert, and playing games).

Grandma and Poppy Gledhill took us to Tracy Aviary. They have done a lot of work around there and I think Ellie had a blast.

We really had a great time in Utah with family.

Road Rage

You know you have bad road rage when your 2 1/2 year old repeats what you say. When ever I give the car some gas, Ellie yells out, "Move out of Mommy's way. Mommy we getting on the freeway?" Today as I came to a stop at a light, she said, "Seriously!" So I asked what that was about and she replied, "That guy isn't paying attention to me." (Probably from when I say that someone wasn't paying attention while driving.)
