Two weeks ago, we had Lucy’s 2 month portraits taken. We found a great package deal, so we decided to take advantage of it. I decided I want to take her to have her pictures taken every month. Hopefully this month it will be easier to get her to smile! She’s a great smiler; she just gets difficult when we’re trying to have her picture taken.

This is the one we ordered for our big package. I just love it!

We also ordered a print of two other poses.

These are some of my favorites of the ones we didn’t order. We may end up ordering some.

We actually did order the following one, but I forgot to scan it.

I’m on the fence about this one. I love her smile because she looks so happy, but Joe and I weren’t planning on being in any pictures so we look rough.

Lucy is a little wiggleworm! When we put her to bed, we put her in her sleep positioner in her crib so that she stays in one spot. I guess Lucy hasn’t figured out how it’s supposed to work yet. On Sunday morning, she woke up screaming because she had rolled over against the rails and gotten her leg stuck through one (although, since her legs are so thin it wasn’t really stuck; it just freaked her out). We put her back in the positioner and checked on her later to find she had wiggled out again.

This morning, we checked on her to find that she had squirmed even farther up in her crib. She even had somehow pulled her blanket up higher on her. It had been put just over her legs when we put her to bed.

Maybe it’s time to just ditch the positioner all together.

We finally have a brand new roof and an intact ceiling. You may recall, our ceiling collapsed on us two weeks ago due to water damage from improper work done by the former owner of our house. The contractors were here all last week. It was crazy, threw off my daily schedule and was *very* noisy, but now we have a roof that should last 10-15 years, well past the amount of time we plan to live here.

Our new roof! It’s so nice and black!

I cannot wait to get Joe a new phone. His current phone, the LG Vu, constantly messes up when he uses it. It either drops calls or I can’t hear him while we’re talking, which is always great because he comes home and tells me he hears everything I say out of exasperation! We’ve only had the phone for two years or so, and I don’t really understand why we’re having such problems already, but it’s a good excuse to start looking for a new one.

I like the LG Chocolate Touch. It includes the Internet, access to Social Media sites (which means Joe will have no excuse to not use Facebook more often!), has a camera and video camera (a video camera is one thing I wish my phone had), and has a music player. There’s a digital editor to edit pictures and videos taken with the phone (awesome!) and the music player would allow Joe to ditch his iPod when he runs so he doesn’t have to carry so many things with him.

We have a couple of months before his contract runs out to make a decision. I’m just ready for him to have a phone that will allow him to actually complete a conversation with me!

I toyed with the idea of not sending out a birth announcement for Lucy since it would go out at the same time as our holiday cards, but I decided I WANTED to send out a birth announcement for her. I wanted it for us and also for her baby book and scrapbook. However, I included them with our holiday cards to save on shipping. Joe designed it and used the colors from her nursery, and I think it looks fabulous.
