Look at me! I am 2 months old & FABULOUS!

Well, it has been two months and life is FABULOUS! We are having so much fun watching Berklie grow and come into her own. I think she has a new facial expression everyday, along with new quirks in her personality!

It is hard to think that she was 6 pounds - 15 ounces and 19 3/4 inches long, because now she is 11 pounds and 23 inches long. That is just by my scales and tape measure. We go to the doctor for her two month check on Tuesday, so I will give her real stats then. I am a little nervous because she has to get shots! Flint has practice so I will be there by myself - be strong... be strong. Last time she didn't cry for too long and I think it hurt Barbara and I more than it did Berklie!
I left her for the first time this weekend with someone besides her babysitter. It was Kaytlin so she was in good hands! It was still hard, even though we were only gone for a few hours. It is amazing how much you can miss someone in such little time. We got home and she was of course fine, but I was so glad to see her. I have to say that it is a new adventure everyday when you have a baby - but I wouldn't change it for a million dollars! Talk with you all soon!

~Love you all~ Remica & Berklie

Purple Polka Dots

Thank you, Aunt Sara, for the super cute outfits you sent me! I wore this one to Daddy's football game on Friday. We lost, but Justin did really good at quarterback and I looked adorable!

Sunny Days!

We got home today and it was so beautiful that we had to go for a walk. So, I rolled out the stroller, got Bitty Girl strapped in, and off we went. It was a little windy so I thought Berklie might need a hat - not to mention it is just darn cute on her! She is starting to get her personality...in the mornings Flint starts talking to her in bed and she tries so hard to talk and gets the funniest facial expressions. It is adorable! Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can start catching some of her smiles on camera. I can't wait. She has also started to sleep in her big girl bed - yes, yes, I know...she is only 8 weeks old and I am talking about a "big girl" bed. The only reason I call it that is because since she was born she has slept with us, so that is why it is the "big girl" bed. She has done well adjusting this week and hopefully she will continue to do well. Although I enjoy her being close to us, I have to admit it is nice having a little more space for the two of us and a more restful night's sleep. It is nice not having to worry about rolling on her or the covers smothering her. It's weird how even though you are asleep you still know that she is there. Keep your fingers crossed for continued success of the "big girl" bed!!!! Talk with you all soon!

Look out Stoney Creek here I come!

Man...that was a relaxing walk!

Does she?

Ever since the day Berklie was born I have thought she looks exactly like Flint. Until....I took this picture and I thought - oh my goodness that looks just like a picture of me when I was her age! I don't mind her looking like her daddy at all, but it is every mother's dream to have a little girl that at least favors them. So, take a look for yourself and let me know what you think!

This is me at 2 months

This is Berklie in bed Monday morning smiling. She was exactly 6 weeks old.
Sure, it is at a different angle - but do resemble one another at all?

I had to put this one on there because she looks so darn cute!

Lazy days!

Most of the time we spend our time with Berklie laying around or sleeping, because that is really all she does at this point. She does stay awake longer now, and she is getting a personality which I love to watch grow each day. One of my favorite things is to watch her and Flint laying in bed in the mornings. They both look so serene and beautiful that I can not help but wonder why I was so lucky to have been blessed with them. They are the most precious things in my life! I love going to sleep at night with them by my side and waking up in the morning and still having them there. Even though Berklie is under my armpit and Flint hogs the covers (although most of the time it is me hogging them!) Still the same I am so grateful for them both!

This was before Tyler's game the other night. I thought it was a great photo opportunity! Are they not adorable?

I don't know why this picture is rotated the wrong way, but I think she looks so sweet here.

If she is awake in the morning when I get up and her daddy is still asleep, I bring her in with me and she watches me get ready for school. She watches with such interest! It is too funny!

I love Tyler & K.K.!

Saturday my nephew Tyler played a game against a California team in Mesquite, not to far from where we live. Kaytlin was cheering, so most of my family came to watch. I took Berklie with me and two nights of football can wear a girl out! She did so good again, and her Mi-mi held her most of the time. I made her a onsie again and she looked oh so cute! Her are two of the the pictures - I need mom to email me the others.

Here she is with Kaytlin a.k.a K.K.

Bitty Girl's First Football Game!

Berklie had her Daddy's first football game this past Friday. She was all jazzed up in her onsie that I made and looked super adorable! She was all the rage! She did really well, I just wish we could have actually had a chance to watch the game. I am now the PALS sponsor so we worked the PALS fundraiser the entire night. So, next week I am leaving that to the kids and we are going to watch daddy and Justin. I sure do like all the help though - the kids were great with her. I have a lot of volunteers to babysit now!

It brought back memories because I loved going to my dad's football games when I was growing up and I hope that Berklie will too. This season she is still in her car seat, but I know next season she will be running everywhere, or she'll be the one turning cart wheels on the field like I was! We are going to have so much fun!!!

Here are some of the pictures from Friday night - I wanted to take some at the game too, but I forgot my camera - ohhhh, the joys of motherhood (losing your mind)!

Here is her onsie

When she tries to look at things too closely or for too long she goes cross-eyed. It is too cute.

The bow is big, but it looked so cute. You have to accessorize!

This is my favorite one!

I had to put one on with a little personality. GO TEAM!

Here I am with my Bitty Girl.

I can't give her enough kisses!

It is not always peaches-n-cream!

Throwing an awful fit!
