Aly Kat @ Two Whole Months

Wow does time fly or what!?! Our little Aly Kat is now two months old! We here in the Jessop household can barely believe it. Here is the latest on our little girl...

Current weight: 10 lbs. 10.5 ozs. 50th percentile compared to other babies her age
Current height: 23.5 inches 75th percentile

She is sleeping very well at night and is on a schedule. She goes to bed between 9 & 10 pm every night and gets up only once or twice. She gets up for the day at around 8 am and just does some Aly Kat napping during the day. She LOVES to eat and eats every 1.5 - 2 hours. She hates bottles and prefers to get her milk from the source...i.e. Mommy. She did vomit last week and it just so happened that she was chilling with her big sister while I was cooking dinner. Riana didn't like the whole episode one bit. She is now scared to hold the little girl for fear of a repeat incident. The funny thing is that Aly wasn't acting ill or anything...it just happened. Weird.

Aly continues to have gas problems even with me cutting out a bunch of stuff from my diet...so it looks like she is just a super gasey baby and she hopefully will grow out of it as she gets older. :)

Daddy continues to love on his little girl at all times and loves to play bicylces with her. She smiles all of the time as you can see from the pics.

Found Money Jar

When Steve and I first started dating we decided to start a little challenge between us (I guess we are both competitive at heart). We decided to see who could find the most 'found money' over the next year...2007. My friend, Susan (Thank you Susan! Woo Hoo!) turned me on to 'finding money' since her and her hubbie have been doing it for many years. It is actually pretty interesting seeing just how much money you find laying around in parking lots, on restaraunt floors or outside fast food drive thru windows. It really can add up quickly if you keep track of it.

Our found money thus far adds up to a nice little total...maybe if we keep it up we will be able to retire earlier than expected. ;)

2007 - $48.11
2008 - $44.66
2009 - so far $2.81

Obviously we will need to step it up a bit more this year as we seem to be slacking.


P.S. Steve won the competition in 2007 by finding $4.11 more than me...his money was all change while I found $9 in paper moolah plus my change...2008 was a joint effort.

My Girls

My mom...aka the girls' Nena...sent me Riana's first picture taking outfit from 13.5 years ago...so I decided to snap a few pics of Aly in the same outfit.

These are my girls...Am I a lucky mom or what?
