2 Months Old!

Anabelle is 2 months old today and I can't believe it! Time is going by very quickly, and she is getting bigger and bigger. Lots going on around here in the last few days. On Saturday Michale and Steph moved into a new place and Anabelle and I drove out to check it out. It is a very cute place and it looks like they will love being there! After all of the moving, Grandma and Grandpa Smith had volunteered to babysit Anabelle so that I could attend a girls night with some friends. So after getting her set up I was off to Roscoe Il to see Erin's new place and hang with the ladies, we had a great time relaxing and chatting. On Sunday there was lots of driving getting back to my mom's and then back home, Belle and I were exhausted and took a nap!

My Aunt Karen was visiting from Texas so on Monday we went downtown to meet up with my mom and my Aunt. Belle had her first El ride, she was looking around a lot, and you could tell she was thinking, "what have you gotten me into mom?" I had her in the Baby Bjorn thinking it would be much easier than navigating with a stroller. It wasn't too bad, but it is definitely more work lugging around a baby and a backpack full of supplies. Not sure how I would do it in the winter when you have to be all bundled up. We met up with my aunt and mom at the Sears Tower, my aunt had never been in it. I hadn't been up there in years and thought, "OK I'll try out that new Ledge thing." For anyone who doesn't know, they have built 4 glass cubes that pop out of the wall on the skydeck level, and you can walk out into them. I am not a huge fan of heights but it was pretty cool to see and after a few minutes of psyching myself up, I was able to slowly inch my way out onto the glass. Harder than it looks, but still fun!

The next few days will be spent getting ready for our trip to Texas on Saturday, yes we will be taking our first airplane ride with Anabelle and we are hoping it goes smoothly :) We are looking forward to some warm weather and spending some quality time with Grandma Sue and Grandpa Ken! Anabelle will also get to meet her Uncle Mike and Aunt Mary and all of her cousins for the first time. We are very excited! This week we also have a 2 month wellness checkup for Anabelle, where she will get weighed and some shots. I am curious to see how much she weighs... I am guessing 13 lbs at the least! I'll let you know on Thursday. Have a great week everyone!


I bought a Christmas cactus and Anabelle was very into looking at it and trying to touch it.

Tell Miss Belle that she has to stop getting any cuter, 'cause I'm running out of adjectives!
