Two Months Old

Kallie Elizabeth Bates is two months old . . . I can't believe it!!! The last two months have gone by way too fast. Kallie has brought so much love and happiness to our lives. Over the last month she has started smiling, cooing and following her toys with her eyes. She is also much more alert and loves laying next to her puppy (although he usually moves). Kallie also loves spending time with her cousins . . . all 9 of them. The girls love to talk about how pretty she is and how she should wear their American Girl Doll clothes when she gets bigger and the boys are the opposite. . ."Kallie looks like a bug . . . a people bug" is a quote from one of her boy cousins Ethan. Regardless they all love her to pieces in their own way.

Kallie had her two month wellness check up yesterday. She was 9lb 10oz (18%) and 21.25 inches long (10%). The Dr. said she is doing great :)

Kallie . . . thank you for being our little angel. We love you so much and can't even remember what life was like without you. Watching you grow and learn has been amazing. You are such a funny little girl who loves to be swaddled, sleep on daddy's chest, go on walks with mommy, smile in your sleep, wiggle on the changing table, stretch like crazy when you wake up, cuddling with your buns in the air and of course staring into our eyes at all hours of the night.

I asked your daddy what his favorite things is and he said when you are cuddling on the couch just looking at him with your big blue eyes. My favorite part is when you first wake up in the morning . . . I always say "mommy's here" and you immediately look into my eyes and I get the best morning snuggles ever!

Daddy and I are so excited to watch you grow into a beautiful little girl. We love you Kallie Bear.
