Singing together!
Crying together!

Passed out in bed (hardcore sleeper missing a sock)
Ready to go bye bye in the car in her new outfit

Thought I'd drop in and update a bit. Not much is all that different. Justice-kymorah is growing like a weed! She's so big already I can't believe it! She has recently found her hands and her ability to put them into her mouth, so she spends a lot of her awake time doing that. She smiles so much more now and when you see it in person it just melts your heart. She is quite the mama's girl and screams almost every time someone else is holding her or really anytime I'm not RIGHT there. But I don't mind ya know, I feel uneasy if I'm not around her too (which really is never longer than going to the bathroom or making coffee or a plate of food). She's starting to lose her baby hair...mostly on the sides and the back of her head. Maybe I'll finally get to do the mohawk I've always dreamed of! (you see the pics where I have already tried!!). As long as I'm holding her she flirts with people and is so smiley now, it's awesome (if I let someone else hold her the flirting stops unless I'm right in her face) lol. Oh and she DROOLS! She drools A LOT. It starts out as blowing bubbles and in the matter of 5 minutes I end up having to change her shirt! It's super cute though. And could just put a bib on her but I dont always like to because it gets all spun around and crazy and ends up being more annoying than helpful. Let's see... she's got this tubbie that she prefers to use as a chair (I may have mentioned that before... I've lost any kind of memory abilities during my pregnancy). She's actually sleeping in it right now.. I wish I couldl et her sleep in it over night because she is SOUND ASLEEP right now but I don't want her to be uncomfortable or wake up sore or something because it's a bathtub so even with a fuzzy blanket under her, it's hard... and it's at an angle so i don't know I just don't want it hurting her. We also got to take our first trip to her other grandparent's house. We had to wait this long because they have dogs but we finally went to Nana and PoPo's house! You see pics of her with Nana but PoPo was sick so he stayed upstairs. Oh and last thing... she's totally one of those sweaty babies! When it's warm out or she's hot for whatever she gets all clammy and sweaty...yet her hands and sometimes feet are cold (and clammy) .. JUST LIKE MOMMY!! hahaha.

So about mommy (loved my seg-way there didn't you?! And the fact that I spelled "seg-way" wrong and have no clue how to spell it correctly..) I have been doing well. The devil has really been trying to bring me down lately though. From health problems to people trying to cut me down for no reason at all..and feelings of "why do I bother being kind and caring and helpful if the exact opposite is returned??" and just general hopelessness but God has gently reminded me that he is my Great Hope and I don't do things to receive praise or get things in return... I do them for the Lord and he sees everything and knows my heart so I don't need to be worried. So I've been trying to keep my head up and do what God has called me to do even when I don't feel like it and rather be freaking out on people! In any case we are doing very well ...we struggle at times like everyone else but God always gives us what we need and will never give us something we can't handle!

baby's first shots

So yesterday Justice-kymorah had a doctor's appointment. It was her 2month check-up...which meant...SHOTS! She got two in her right leg and one in her left (you can see the little band-aids in the pics). She was a trooper...and so was I..I only teared-up, I didn't actually cry haha. You can see in the pics she was all smiles for a few hours after...it wasn't until evening time came around that she started gettin grutsy (which of course was frustrating but to be expected). It really wasn't bad though, she's such a good baby you wouldn't believe. Anyway, the doctor said her nose is improving wonderfully..you can actually see the change. So PRAISE GOD for that! He is truly so good to us! We're slowly gonna start having non-sick visitors! As you can see in the pics she's getting so big! She weighed in at 10lbs 5.4oz and she's 22 inches long!

The other day she had her first public melt-down haha. We were in Target and she was fine but then out of nowhere was screaming her head off. I mean really screaming. I took her outta the chair and tried to calm her down but of course the only time ever that it doesn't really work. Some stranger and her mom came over to try to help. Which to be honest only made me mad. The girl had her 3week old daughter with her and of course she was sound asleep so the chick was kinda looking at me like I'm some young mom who had no clue what she's doing. Mind you this girl looked younger than me and I doubt she was ever a nanny but whatever... she'll get hers for comin at me like that...just wait til her baby is 2 months old and screaming her head off in the store and there's nothing she can do to calm her. Then the girls mom is all trying to tell me to burp her what to do and I'm like "WHO DOES THIS?!?!"...seriously. What stranger goes up to someone and tries to tell them how to handle their child..?? Ughhh. I had to pray my way through that because everything inside me wanted to freak out on them. Anyway it turned out the Justice-kymorah just had to poop and couldn't...as always. Then she did poop...all over herself. She's quite the gassy baby too. The doc says this is about the time that this colic-y-ness would start up so I just have to deal lol. Yay for me! Haha. Anyway, less than 2 hours later the same thing happens in Mr Z's. She was fine the whole time until I had to check out (3 separate orders mind you). She screamed the entire time I was checking out then I took her outta her carseat to calm her. The cashier proceeded to call her "spoiled". It's like "uhh hello!!! She's not spoiled, she's 8weeks old!!". But whatever, the devil was just tryin to get at me that day but I was determined to not let that happen. So anyway, we lived and I'm sure there are going to be other days similar....
