The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
The Good
Last week Papa Jim and Kaky came to town and we all had so much fun. We went out to Uno's and then came back to the house to just hang out and let them enjoy grandparent time. They couldn’t believe how big she had gotten. This week I think she’s bigger.
Tonight we are going to Clinton to see Grammy, Daddy Ben and Kristi (Jeremy’s grandparents and aunt). Kristi has not met Selah yet so she can hardly wait. She is flying up from Florida for the weekend and is bummed because she thinks she is only getting a couple hours with Selah. She doesn’t know that we are spending the night so she can get her fill. :)
The Bad (according to parents who think time is already moving too fast)
This past Tuesday, we went by to see Patrick and Ali's, some friends of ours, baby in the hospital. She was born on Monday and was only 18 inch long and weighed 6.5 Lbs. It really made us realize how big Selah has gotten. While she did out weigh Mary Alice by more than a pound and had a good 3 1/2 inches on her it was still neat and sad and scary to see a comparison of about how big she started out and how big she is now. WOW! What a difference! It looked like Selah had swallowed one of those babies.
The Ugly
We went on Monday to get her first shots and it was extremely traumatic! As is always the case, more so for mom and dad than for Selah but still. After the first one and Selah screaming like we've never heard before, :( Cass came back into the room and asked "is that it?" When we said no there’s two more she stressed, left and called her dad. The next two were just as bad. It broke daddy's heart to have her laying in his lap look up at him and then all of a sudden let out a blood curdling scream. It did make daddy feel better when she clung to him afterwards as if to say please protect me. We are already counting the days till round two. Not looking forward to it. Pray that she actually finishes her vaccines. ;)

2 months and growing
Selah turned two months old this past Tuesday and she continues to grow - faster than we would like. Jeremy weighed her by getting on the scale at our house with and without her. The difference was 14 pounds!!!! She has very obviously gotten longer and heavier. You can really see it in her face. I think her cheeks have doubled in size over the last two weeks.
Kaky and Papa Jim are coming up tomorrow and we are all very excited to see them. I can't wait for them to see how big she's gotten and how responsive she has become. When Cass or I walk in the room and get in her eye sight, she throws the biggest smiles our direction. Sometimes just by hearing our voice we'll get a smile. She's already melting our hearts with her own little "I Love You's".
Uncle Patrick and Aunt Lauren came down last weekend and spent the night Friday night. Unfortunately they got there after Selah had gone to sleep and left right after she woke up good the next morning. They did get some time with her and got to hold her. They had not seen her since she was born and they really couldn’t believe how big she had gotten and how much she had changed. We are hoping to take a trip down to them sometime in the next few months to give them a little more time with her.
On another note, Cass is very close to getting her store off the ground. She has her business license and website domain. Last night we ordered our first products. It was so exciting! For those who have not heard, she is starting an online store called Lovable Cloth where she will be selling cloth diapers and diapering accessories. She is working on getting the website up and running - hopefully in the next week or two. If you or anyone you know is using cloth, check her out! We'll let you know when everything is up.
