So I have found the secret to getting an infant to sleep more and longer stretches........ move to the desert!!!! Yes, August in Arizona is a hot one so we have all been drinking and sleeping lots, especially Tula. She seems to be really content now that we are more settled here, she loves her bedroom and crib. I can actually put her down in it without having to rock her to sleep, which is a huge accomplishment for all of us. She seems so happy here, loves the water and all the pool time. I can't wait till it's a little cooler here and we can go swimming at the pool. Can you imagine? It's too hot to go swimming....lol.
Tula is 2 months old tomorrow and John and I can hardly believe it. Last night we were grocery shopping and I started chatting with another Mom pushing a cart with a carseat in it. She had a one month old and it looked so tiny, I couldn't believe that was Tula a few weeks ago. She is getting so strong now, she loves to stand and push up on her legs. She holds her head up so well. But my favorite thing is she is starting to coo and almost laugh, I really cannot wait! She loves music and seems to smile everytime she is sung to. Oh yeah, and after a day in the AZ heat she LOVES to get naked and lay under a fan. My mom had a great idea to pick up some puppy pee pads and we take her diaper off and just let her lay on them and she has a ball! She likes to look at light fixtures and the ceiling fan spinning is a double bonus!
I posted a few more pictures on her babysite but wanted to share this one we took today while in the car. I am pretty sure it was only about 115, but after leaving the car parked for a few minutes this is what it was reading. Surprisingly....it's not as bad as it looks. We are actually really liking it and John picked today of all days to go outside and do a little yardwork!
P.S. We got a landline today. Email me if you want our new number.
