2 Months

On October 9th, Sadie Grace turned 2 months already! It's amazing how much she has grown and changed during that time! At her 2 month check-up she weighed 13 lbs. 10 oz. and was 24 in long! She is laughing and "cooing" all the time, unless she is eating or sleeping. Which she is really loving to do. She has really come up with her on little schedule, which seems to be working great. The past week or so she has been sleeping atleast 7 hours, sometimes 8 during the night! Her favorite napping place though is right in the living room on the ottoman! She loves to go for rides with Mommy and Daddy. We play her "her" music and she will sit back there and laugh, then fuss a little and falls to sleep. :) Bathtime is probably her favorite time of the day. She will lay there and first she tries to drink the water. Then she will turn her head toward the faucet and begin "talking" to it. She gets so excited in these conversations she starts kicking her arms and legs and laughing. It's so funny! It's just really fun to watch her personality starting to come out. She's loves to play with all of her cousins too. Morgan and Corey are so good with her and are a big help when we go to Nana and Papa's. Cole says "She's just sooo beautiful!" and Rylee...well Rylee just thinks she wants to get down out of our laps and come play with her. She's not quite sure why Sadie won't talk back to her yet. The cutest thing though is when she and Emme are together. They will just sit and stare at one another, not too sure what to think of the other. The other day they just looked at each other and had their own conversation in their own little baby language. It was precious! BeBe and Grandaddy love to have the 2 of them together! We and everyone else are always trying to figure out who she looks like. She is really a mix of us both, but at some points in the day she can look just like me, and in a split second she looks just like her Daddy. I say she looks like Sadie Grace! :)
These past 2 months have definetly changed our lives. They have been some of the most stressful times we've faced in our marriage, but not one of us would change a thing. We look at our baby girl...the greatest miracle...and know how blessed our lives have become! She's a beautiful, healthy baby who always puts a smile on our face...Life in the Benz household has never been better!!
