Two Months

Whitney is 9 weeks old today. Bart prefers that we count by months and not weeks- it must be a guy thing. She is getting so big and so talkative. No, she doesn't actually speak English.. but she's fluent in baby-talk. I wish I could just understand what she is saying. Nobody can get her to smile as well as Bart can. Her favorite things to do at this age are: sleep (I wish a little big longer!), eat, smile, baby-talk, play in the bath, stare at things and SWING. She loves to be on the move, which is motivation for me to go on walks.
Yesterday, we went to the doctor and found out that she is steadily gaining weight. Before I put her on the scale, I asked the nurse to guess how much she thought Whitney would weigh. (I mean, this lady does this on a daily basis, I thought it might be fun for her to have a little guessing game.) She said, "Oh.. about 15 or 16 pounds?"
Really? Does my baby look that big? When we found out that she weighs 11 lbs. 8 oz, the nurse said, "She looked a little thicker than that."
Hmm.


Bath time is Whitney's FAVORITE!



I found this scrapbook paper and Whitney really likes looking at it.
She will even smile and talk to it. I wonder what she sees.



This girl must be a "Bishopp!" She loves staring in the mirror. This entertains her for quite some time. Now, if she could just get a good grasp on tweezers, she could be just like her mom and pluck her eyebrows each night before retiring to bed.


Mom and baby


Smiling for daddy!

Happy 2 months Whitney! She is just as pretty as her mama! I think she looks just perfect. Preston is 4 months and he only weighs 14.5 pounds, to give you an idea.

I LOVED the pics of her talking to the scrapbook paper and oogling at herself in the mirror! So CUTE! Maybe it's the black and white pattern that she enjoys so much about that paper...

and did you make all those bows?

Has it really been two months? If you are like I was with James you probably feel like it was only yesterday you were welcoming her into the world, and yet at the same time you feel like she has always been in your family. You cannot imagine life without her. I suspect that is how I'll feel with my second baby too.

I love the picture of you two. You are both such pretty ladies! I also love the picture of Whitney in the brown and pink outfit. She looks so pretty there in her crib.

P.S. Do you really pluck your eyebrows every night?

Ooh, I love that brown jumper and headwrap! SO cute!
Doesn't time just fly with a tiny baby around? She's really growing!

Colby and Steph said...

Holly said...

She is so cute!! How is it even possible for her to get any cuter? That is funny about the weeks thing, I think it is a guy thing. I loved the pics and it is so fun to see her grow. One of these days we can set her and Tray up for a date ;)

Steph said...

It is hard to believe they are already past 2 months. Crazy how time flies. Anyhow, I had to write because I just put up the post with our halloween costumes, and I think it has been since our crazy fun times as freshman that I have actually dressed up, and totally had a blast doing so! The first time we met we dressed up, and so this year when i put on my costumes, i actually reminisced about freshmen year and it made me think of you and all our fun times!!!

Thedailydansie said...

She is getting so big and she looks so cute! I just love her little outfits. I can't wait to get little girl clothes. I haven't even bought one thing, how pathetic is that. I guess I'm waiting for lots of money which will never happen.

Colby and Steph said...

Come on guys....where are the Halloween costumes. We are all waiting.

Christine said...
