| Two Months old Already |
Sorry for the delay but Sully didn't have her two month check-up until today so I was waiting to find out how much she had grown! And let's just say the giant baby just keeps getting BIGGER! As of today she is now 13 lbs, 5.5 oz and 24 3/4 Inches long. That's right...she has grown over 4 inches since birth! That is insane. She is off the charts in height and right around the 97th percentile for weight! Another huge Frericks girl!!
We have had a great past month or so. Sully has gotten to do so many great things due to the fact that we have to keep Hudson busy since she is perpetual motion and never gets tired! In Sully's short life so far she has been to the Zoo, the Science Center, the Williamson County Fair, the lake, Gymboree, Opry Mills, the park on several occasions, not to mention numerous trips to Target and Costco. She is always on the go and such a trooper.
She started holding her head up a few weeks ago and is such a strong girl. She hates being cooped up in her car seat and has taken to the BabyBjorn way better than Hudson ever did. She also started sleeping through the night right around her 2 month birthday. A typical night is about 10pm to 5:00am which is AWESOME! Sometimes she will wake up at 3:30 for a snack but then go right back to sleep and has been known to sleep for another 3 or 4 hours! It rocks!
She also started smiling and cooing which is always fun! I try to get the smile on camera but the flash always makes her mad!

| Hanging with SueSue |
Tom has been travelling a lot lately so during the 4th consecutive week, I called in for back up from SueSue. We had a great week and Sully loved having someone to hang out with so I could chase Hudson!

| Being Lazy |
Hudson is still doing great! She is LOVING being a big sister and is so so sweet with Sully, excuse me "Sobe" as she calls her!
As I mentioned Hudson is perpetual motion so let me just highlight what she has been up to:
- She is a talking machine and a little parrot that repeats everything we do and say. Some of her favorite new words are truck, snack, stuck, moon, stars, baby and many more
- She has started to form sentences which is awesome. Some that I hear SEVERAL times a day are: Horses eat grass, Moon in the sky and ___ go night-night (fill in the blank b/c if she can't see it...then she tells me it went night-night)
- She loves singing Wheels on the Bus and Itsy Bitsy spider...complete with hand motions
- She is very into playing with her babies and we spend hours giving them bottles (or sometimes she pretends to nurse them...I told you she sees everything), burping them, changing diapers, walking them in their strollers, etc
- She had her last day of school last week and it was very sad
- She has had several play dates this summer and is loving them
- She had her first sleepover in Bowling Green with Grandma Frericks and had a blast
- She LOVES the pool and now jumps in by herself, goes under and even swims just wearing her life jacket...we don't have to hold onto her which is nice
- She went on her first fair ride...she didn't love it
- She has started learning her ABCs and numbers but only says A-B-C and when she counts to ten it sounds like 2, 5, 6...haha. But if you ask her how old she is, she says 2 and holds up two fingers! She is a little ahead of herself but oh well!
- She also is very into colors. She can say just about all the colors but the only one she seems to recognize for now is blue.
- She got her first tutu and as you can see below she loved it and she still LOVES to dance

Fun at the fair!
Here are a few little gems I thought you all might enjoy. The first one is Hudson showing off her moves which now include her version of the sprinkler and lawnmower. We are working on the Bernie also! The second video is of her singing Good Feeling by Flo-Rida. She knows it by the first note of the song...it is hilarious! She also sings the chorus to the Gotye song but I haven't got that on tape yet!
Sadly my summer of maternity leave is coming to and end and I go back to work next week. It breaks my heart but we are very excited for our sweet nanny Jen to start and Hudson will get to try out a new Mother's Day Out program once a week! She loves school too much to take her out completely!
As always, here are the rest of the pictures from our last month or so. Enjoy and can't wait to update you again soon!
