happy halloween!

love and candy,
the Prevosts

the perfect punkin'

while we were in st louis visiting my family, bennet had her first pumpkin patch experience. she mostly slept through but it was still a lot of fun to be there with all her cousins!


pete unfortunately missed this outing so of course we had to go to one in nashville! this time bennet was awake and she even got a pumpkin all for herself...we made sure it was roughly the size of her head haha.



happy fall!

2 months!

bennet,

my little 2 month old! you are such a precious joy to us. you are growing like a weed and i have to say it again...i can not believe how fast time is flying by! this past month have brought many "firsts."
~you laughed for the first time (best sound EVER) while i was blowing on your belly. please start doing this more...you have only done it once and i just need to hear it more.
~you found your thumb and love to suck on it when the paci falls out.
~we purchased size 2 diapers you little chunk!
~you went to daddy's tour rehearsal and heard him play for the first time...you fell asleep :)
~your first church service...you did so well and stayed awake for the whole sermon. you have your priorities right haha
~we got your first halloween costume...you little sweet pea

the ceiling fan in our room is still your best friend and seems to be the only one who can get tons of smiles and coos. you still make us work really hard for them! you are pretty much obsessed with the fan.
you still hate tummy time and will only allow it for about a min before you are over it. not good...we need to work on that. i think you are mad bc you can't look around. you are so interested in all your surroundings and usually want nothing to do with your mommy and daddy. you haven't taken any interest in any toys too...you would rather look outsite, at the ceiling fan or lights, tv, someone who is sitting farther away. silly.

your schedule pretty much goes like this:

4-6am wake up and nurse
6-8am sleep
8am nurse
9-10am play
10:30-11am nurse
11am or 12pm-2pm or 3pm sleep
3pm-4pm play
4pm nurse
5pm-6pm sleep (if lucky)
6:30 nurse
7:30pm asleep for night

you might wake up around 9ish and i will nurse you back to sleep...but i wouldn't count that as a feeding bc your are not really eating...this is totally for comfort.

we are so blessed to have such a good sleeper! you let your mommy and daddy get enough rest at night and you have been doing this since 5 weeks old. so awesome! keep it up :)

tomorrow you have your 2 month check up. i am guessing you weigh close to 13lbs but we will find out for sure tomorrow. you will not be getting any shots tomorrow so you can thank me later for that ;) we have decided to what till your 4 month checkup for you to get any. i am still on the fence though so you might get lucky again.


we love you so much baby girl!!! continue to grow and learn. we are so excited to see what you accomplish this coming month!

xoxo,
mommy

taking on too much...

feeling a little overwhelmed here. i am having a yard sale tomorrow so i am spending the day trying to get that all squared away while also attending Bennet. i wanted to try and get most of it done yesterday but little girl was having an off day and wanted to be held all day...she napped about 20 mins and it had to be on me. pete is gone so i am doing this all by myself and i am beginning to see how dumb my idea was. i am real tempted to put everything in my car and just make a goodwill drop. fast and easy. but no i am going about it the harder way. yea me! (not...duh)

also we are going out of town next wednesday so i am also mentally preparing myself for that...thinking about all the things we need to take with makes me want to crawl in a ball and sleep for 3 days. but the good news is we are visiting my family and i am so so excited to see them...i will be better once we are there. i am not too worried about the drive bc bennet loves the car seat. lets hope i didn't just jinx us.

well hope you have a relaxing weekend...think of me cus i surely will not.

~melissa

ps isn't bennet cute in her little hat :)

happy birthday love

hope you have the best birthday! bennet and i are so happy to celebrate with you and hope we make you feel loved and of course happy!

lately,

we've been doing a lot of this,





and some of this,




we also are getting out a lot more. bennet is a dream baby! she is totally fine with whatever and if i had to describe her is one word right now it would be "chill"

and i have to brag a little on her...she is sleeping 8 to 10 hours at night! (other moms please don't hate me for it)

she is such a little darling!

happy weekend!
