Dallas and Her Prince





Some facts about our sweet Dallas:

*She is growing like a weed. She was in the 50th percentile for height, weight, and head circumference at her 2-month checkup. She weighs 10 pounds 6 ounces and is 23 inches long--exactly 3 pounds heavier and 2 inches taller than on her birthday.

*Dallas smiles constantly and insists on being held upright where she can see everything. People who don't know this about her try to hold her like a baby, and she gets fussy. All you need to know about this girl is that she's nosy and doesn't want to miss a thing.

*She rolls over already! She is skinny, still with little popsicle-stick legs, but she is wiry and surprisingly strong. When on her back, she tries to sit up and can get her head and back well off the ground.

*Dallas has found her Prince: His name is RIO! She smiles for him more than anyone else. Rio sings to her (her favorite is "Home On the Range"), while holding her face so she can't look away, she smiles . He growls like a tiger, she smiles. He jams on his guitar like a rockstar, she giggles. He bounds out of nowhere suited in full Batman attire to rescue her, she grins. He picks her up and packs her around in quite awkward positions, she beams! Dallas idolizes Rio, and no doubt he adores her. I hope they always feel this way about each other.

We love every moment of our perfect little family and are so blessed to get to be together forever!

I can just picture Rio dashing in the room wearing a Batman costume to "save" Dallas. Cute. I love that she's wearing the pajamas I gave you guys. Isa wears hers all the time and her little feet are growing out of them :( They grow too fast, don't they?! Miss and love you! xo.
