{oh baby} life with sutton blue. month four.

what a difference two months make. i'm going to try to learn to blog. really hard. harder than a post every two months. and i want to give up sugar. not sure which of the two is more likely to happen but for me, these are two enormous goals. wish me luck.
summer is slowly coming to an end. we've enjoyed over 60 days of glorious pacific northwest sunshine. heaven. sutton blue, or lil' blue as we often call her, loves to go for long walks with the puppies. she just takes it all in, peaceful and happy as can be.

month four and currently loving...

her smiles. she is full of smiles for her mama, daddy and yorkie brothers.

sleeping... 8-10 hours of blissful straight sleep. i know, we lucked out with this one. lil' blue isn't much of a napper during the day. in fact, she reminds me of my grandma dolores. twenty minutes here, twenty minutes there...

her coos and giggles. she just discovered her tongue a few days ago and is constantly sticking it out and blowing raspberries. adorable.

her sweet spirit. she is such a happy, blissful baby and we are so in love and feel blessed beyond measure. i'm one lucky mama.


earlier this month we had the joy of taking sutton to see dr.m for her four month checkup and shots. she is a growing girl.

Summer of Sutton love...

 I can't believe Sutton Blue is already 4 months old! They really aren't lying when they say how fast this time flies! It's amazing how much she has grown in the last few months. Her funny little personality is showing more and more each day. She makes the best silly faces! She started giving us full belly laughs a few days ago and I don't think there is a better sound in the world. We have taken her swimming quite a few times this summer and she loves the water! She loves grabbing toys and eating them. She also really thinks her fingers are yummy and a few days ago she discovered that one finger is yummier than the rest. Oh yes, the thumb. I think have a little thumb sucker on our hands! She has a pink little "lovie" elephant that is always with her and when she is tired she rubs her eyes with it. It's quite adorable. She absolutely loves Tucker and Jaxson and gets a big smile on her face whenever she sees them. She is still sleeping like a champ and gives us at least 9 straight hours a night. And yes, we know how lucky we are! This little girl (who I'm pretty sure is having a blow out on my lap as I type) is such an incredible blessing to our lives and we can't imagine life without her. We are so in love! And...now I have to change a diaper. And possibly my pants as well.
