2 months going on 20!

We always thought the teeny-tiny baby stage was rather boring. Babies this small are usually just little lumps. Adorable to look at, yes. But not all that exciting or fun. But Allie is definitely changing that opinion!

At two months old, Allie already has such an endearing personality. She's is truly the happiest baby on the face of the earth! She smiles and coos ALL the time and just makes you feel so special when she makes eye contact and responds to you. She is already pushing herself up onto her elbows from her tummy (a feat the pediatrician witnessed and said doesn't usually happen until 4 months!), and kicking toys on her bouncy seat toy bar with her feet.

And......drumroll please.......she actually rolled over today!! It has happened before, but we've always attributed it to something else. Oh, we must have put her on her side. Or, she must have had an arm under her to push off of. But today, she clearly was on her belly and managed to roll over to her back!! I was so excited to see it happen for real!! The only problem is, she's my last baby! If this trend continues, she'll be off and running in the blink of an eye and I am not ready for that yet!

Allie had her 2 month well visit yesterday. She's already a whopping 11lb 4oz and 23 1/4 inches long! She continues to eat and sleep well and is just a dream!

Robbie and Scottie are also doing great. We're counting down the days until school starts. Robbie starts back for his 4-day 4 year old class next Thursday and Scottie goes to his 2-day 2.5 year class the following Monday. That means this week is the last full week of summer vacation! How did that go by so quickly?! We took the kids to Sunrise Lake yesterday for a change of pace to make the most of the remaining summer days and the boys had an absolute blast. I even took them in a pedal-boat around the lake. Now THAT is a workout! Thirty minutes of Mommy pedaling by herself while moving an extra 70lbs of kids along with her! If I did that everyday, I'd have less trouble losing all this baby weight! Allie had had 4 shots that morning at her appt, so she was a bit fussy, but still had smiles for Nana as you can see.

And Daddy and Mommy had their Fantasy Football draft night last night, so that's something else to look forward to. The start of football season is upon us!! Let's go Penn State!! And keep it going, Giants!! And a shout-out to Ron's favorite Carolina Panthers, too. Here's hoping for a fun season of our favorite TV sport!
