Month 2 of My Wonderful Life

I turned 2 months old on September 6th and it was a pretty good month. The basics of life are getting a little easier and I'm getting used to this crazy world. I've started sleeping more at night, sometimes even an 8 hour stretch if I'm really tired. Mommy and I run errands and go grocery shopping during the day. I like to sleep in the Baby Bjorn on mommy's chest while she shops.

I went to 2 weddings this month. Amy and Corbin's on August 4th and Yoshi and Melissa's on August 11th. Uncle Travis was in Amy and Corbin's wedding and he looked very handsome in his tux. I was a little tired that day and not in the mood for a wedding so I cried during the ceremony and daddy had to take me for a walk. At Yoshi and Melissa's wedding I was a perfect angel. I was awake for the whole ceremony and reception and just smiled at people and watched what was going on. I just didn't want to go to sleep, I might miss something like Yoshi and Melissa stuffing cake in each others faces (big bullies!). Finally I'd had enough and let mommy and daddy know it with a new octave of screaming that they hadn't heard before.

Mommy and I started going on walks around the neighborhood this month and I got to sit in the stroller like a big girl. I love looking around at all the houses and trees. I've also decided to let mommy start taking showers again. I sit in my bouncer and talk to Bongo (daddy's monkey from when he was a little boy) for 10, maybe 15 minutes if mommy's lucky.

We also had the childbirth class reunion this month and got to meet all the other babies. I, of course, was the life of the party and stayed awake the whole time until once again I got too tired and screamed and fussed for the rest of the afternoon.

As far as milestones, I love to smile all the time and I'm a big fan of standing (with daddy's help of course). I hate sitting and when mommy and daddy try to sit me on their lap, I push my legs down and try to stand. I'm starting to learn how to make some cool noises too.

Here's some pictures from this month:

Awesome blog, Shaylee!
I am so glad to see that you are teaching Mom and Dad all the wonderful gifts that come from parenting. I know they might be a little slow to learn sometimes, but you have to realize that it has been meany years since they have seen the world from your perspective. Just be patient and you'll be very surprised at how quickly they will catch on.

Sincerely,
Roy

Hello Richardson crew. Garrison and I took a look at the great pictures on Shaylee's blog. They are great! I was shocked to see how much she looks like here grandma Rosie when she smiles! It's the cheeks!
