Lotus has developed some mad laughing skills! She started what we couldn't really tell was a laugh last week (sometimes it sounded more like a cough). But today she started laughing when I was changing her diaper and singing "you are my sunshine." Then after her first daycare experience today she started laughing to my pathetic beat boxing. So cute!

What a weekend!!
This was mommy's last weekend of maternity leave and we sure did not let it go to waste! We drove to Wichita Friday night after Jeff got off work and stayed at a hotel with Grandma Bo. Saturday Lotus' Aunt Brenna, Uncle Bill, Aunt Jamie, and Cousins Ryan, Alex and Brody came to hang out at the hotel and meet Lotus for the first time. It was great to see everyone and here are some pictures from our gathering:
Here is Lotus with her cousin Brody who is exactly 3 weeks younger than her.
This is Aunt Jamie and Lotus having some "girl talk".
Uncle Bill and Aunt Brenna with the babes. I like how it looks like Brody and Lotus are looking at each other!
Grandma Bo and Lotus!
We got back from Wichita Saturday night. Sunday morning we decided to enjoy the nice weather by going to Powell Gardens in Kingsville. My friend had told me that they had Lotus flowers there, so we decided to go on a Lotus flower search! Here is a pic of mommy and Lotus with our sweet sunglasses:
Here's a family picture on the "island garden" where all of the Lotus flowers were in bloom. They were soooo pretty! I can't wait to take Lotus back here when she is old enough to appreciate them.
Here's daddy trying to get her as close as possible to the flowers. Good job daddy!

Two Months Old!!
On Monday Lotus celebrated her 2 month birthday! She celbrated by going to the Dr for her 2 month check-up. Someone should have told her that was no way to celebrate! She had to get 3 shots and was pretty fussy afterwards. So fussy in fact that we had to wait till the next day to take her 2 month picture. She is getting so big! She weighed 13lb 9.5oz which is 97th percentile, she was 24 inches long which is 95th percentile and her head circumference was 40cm which is 80th percentile. The Dr said she is measuring up great and was impressed with how well she holds her head up. Lotus loves laying and "being free" on her play mat. She sleeps A LOT! She usually falls asleep around 9pm and doesn't wake up until about 2 am. Then she eats, gets a diaper change and goes right back to sleep. We are very lucky in that department. She loves sucking on her fingers, but still hates the pacifier. She eats like a champ and has been feeling really great lately! Lotus thinks is pretty cool that cousin Ollie gets a month older on the exact same day that she does and she wants to wish him a happy 10 month birthday!
