Colette's Blessing

When my parents were here we blessed Colette. We chose to do it at home because she was a little young to take her to church. I liked doing it at home. It felt more intimate and relaxed.

Jason gave her a beautiful blessing. We invited my cousin's family to come. So it was our family, my parents, Arn's family and the bishop.

Colette wore the same dress I wore when I was blessed. It was made by my Grandma Castellaw. I love that she has that connection to me and her great grandma. She also wore a bracelet from my dear friend Sharon Hulton. It came with a sweet poem about wearing the bracelet as a ring when she gets married.

Colette at 2 Months

Colette is so incredibly happy. She laughs and smiles all the time. Unless I get out the camera of course. She seems to be so intrigued by it. She will just focus on it and wait for it to do something.

At her two month appointment she weighted 10 lbs 3 oz and was 21.5 inches long. She is still in the 25th percentile for everything but she is growing, so that's good.

She is a fabulous eater and prefers to eat every 2 1/2 hours during the day.

At night she is an expert sleeper. She goes 6-9 hours at night. And she came that way. I keep thinking I might somehow break this amazing habit. Hopefully not. During the day she prefers to doze. She will take 30 to 45 minute naps in her bed a few times a day but if we're out she will doze in the sling.

Her hair is getting a little lighter and her eyes are a lighter blue. We'll see what color they end up. Jason's are green and Calder and I have grayish colored eyes.
