Sarah's 2 month Pictures

I took Sarah to have her 2 month pictures taken today. She did a great job and smiled beautifully. You can see some of my favorites below. I can't believe she is already 2 months old. It is already going by way too fast.

Daddy and Monnie, Pacifiers and Preschool

Benjamin has given Geoff and me new names. He has always called us "dada" and "mama," but we are now "daddy" and "monnie." We are not sure why he doesn't say the second part of mommy with a "m" instead of a "n." We do think it is adorable though.


A couple of weekends ago, we decided it was past time for Benjamin to give up his pacifier. We should have done it a year ago, but I guess we didn't want to deal with it. His lip had a sore on it that would not go away, so we knew we had to get rid of the pacifier. We told Benjamin that Santa Claus was coming to pick up his pacifiers and take them away and that he leave him a present. Benjamin was really excited about getting a present, but I don't think he realized that it meant his pacifiers were gone for good. Considering what we have been through the past couple weeks, Sarah will have her pacifiers taken away a lot sooner than we did Benjamin.


Benjamin started preschool a little over a week ago. I was a little worried about him going to preschool because he hasn't been away from us very much. Consequently, he cried quite a bit on the first day. He still cried the last two times I took him, but he only cried for 2 minutes on Thursday. He has a great time and tells me all about it. He told me on Thursday that he has a girlfriend named Anna. It starts way too soon!!


Sarah is getting so big. She will be 2 months old on Monday and I can't believe it. It is going by way too fast. She has been giving us some big smiles and cooing at us all the time. She is really starting to be so much fun. I would enjoy it if she would sleep more at night, but that will come.
