3 Months (1/2/14)

Happy New Year Baby Girl! You are now 3 months, and it is the day after the New Year. We had a super busy December, and you have changed a lot!

• You are now in 6month clothing
• You are outgrowing your size 2 diapers
• We didn't have a doctor's appointment so I don't know your stats
• You have slept 12 hours straight, and do at least 8 a night
• You are awake a lot more, and love to be entertained. You get fussy now when you are put down, or someone walks away.
• Likes: me calling you pretty girl, laying on your changing table, baths
• Dislikes: Tummy time ( so we don't do it)

You are so stinkin' cute, and we say that constantly. You love to study faces, and things. You smile and coo so much now. You have different cries that I actually understand! I think you are super smart because you will stop crying when I ask you if you want the thing you want (that's what you are doing, right?).

December will always be our busiest month, and you did a great job experiencing it for the first time. We had dinner at Grandpa, and Gigi's for Aunt Stasia and Grandpa's birthday, Nana's birthday, Home group Christmas party, Aunt Stasia & Uncle Stewart's engagement party, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.

You had a 3 day growth spurt where you ate every hour during the day, but you still slept at night which was so nice. 

3 Month Pictures

 

2 months (November 2nd)

You have changed a little over this month. You are starting to give us little smiles, and coos which are so great.

• You are still in 3 month clothing, and some 3-6 month clothing
• You are in size 2 diapers
• You are 12 lbs 10 oz and 231/2 inches
• You have slept 8 hours straight and sleep for at least 5 hours a night. You are still good at putting yourself to sleep, and you sleep when you want during the day. You are more awake now mostly in the early morning
• Likes: Being held, and having people talk to you
• Dislikes: Riding in the car

On the day after you turned 1 month old we went to the zoo, and rode the train. You did a great job eating while we walked around, and loved being carried in the Hava.

You also had your first bottle on 11/4

Liam wanted to help feed you

You had a bath with with Liam since he couldn't wait until it was his turn 11/14

11/24 We went to the mall, and Miranda took our picture for our Christmas card

11/28 You had your first Thanksgiving which was low key. We stayed home since you still didn't have your shots, and Daddy cooked a delicious meal. Gigi, and Grandpa stopped by in the morning to visit before going to your Great Aunt Jonna's. You were super fussy all day, and I finally realized you were going through a growth spurt. You ate 14 times that day when you normally eat 9-12 times!

Happy Girl because you just got fed

11/30 Uncle Josh and Ashley came over to introduce us to Otis. Nana came too, and Daddy made french toast! Everyone helped us set up our Christmas lights, and tree.

It was a busy month, but your next one will be busier... We love you so much!

Bailey's 1st month

We've survived our first month sweet girl! You have been wonderful, and we really haven't had any problems. I saw a lactation consultant when you were 5 days old because


• You are wearing size 3 month clothing 
• You wear size 1 diapers
• You are 11lbs 5.5 oz,  and 22 1/2 inches
• You have slept 5 hours straight during the night, and sleep when you want during the day. I have even put you down awake and you have fallen asleep with out crying!
• Likes: Daddy holding you (he has a special way of holding you that helps you poop), cuddles, Liam talking to you, the hava sling.
• Dislikes: Being moved once you are comfortable, and pooping.

You are such an easy baby, and the perfect addition to our family. You even want to eat when we eat, and sometimes sleep when your bother is taking a nap. I'm so blessed that God chose for me to be your mama, and I wouldn't change it for the world. Here are some pictures from your first month of life...

We tried to get to the pumpkin patch two other times, but it didn't work out. We finally made it on a random night, and we were happy to have this group join us, but missed the rest of the family.

Your first dress

Halloween! You slept through trick or treating in the the Hava sling. We ended up walking the two streets with the Maynards, and Brooks Family. You also got to meet Your Great Aunt Shauna, and Jo. Before we knew you were a boy, or girl I wanted you to be a dalmatian to go with Liam's fire chief costume. Aunt Miranda made it for you, and it was so cute!

Happy 1 month Lovey!

Liam - 2 1/2 years (30 months)

How are you 2 1/2 years old?  You have grown up so much in the last month. You are all about being a big boy, and you love helping all the time.

Clothes: You are so tall, and skinny so it's hard to find the right fit of clothes. You needed new shoes so I sent your daddy a picture to pick which ones we should get. He wrote back, and said you picked the ones in the middle which were a great choice because they go with everything!

• 3T tops, 24 month or 2T bottoms, and size 5 pajamas
•  Shoe size: 8.5
• size 5 diapers, and size 6 night time diapers

Sleeping: You are sleeping so much better since your surgery. You nap from 1 to 3-3:30. You sleep through the night most of the time. We still lay with you in the guest bed to get you to go to sleep. 

Eating: You are starting to eat better again too. We keep introducing you to knew foods, and occasionally you will try them. The things you eat consistently are yogurt, cheddar bunnies, gold fish, popcorn, strawberries, bananas, grapes, apples, and guacamole.

Words: You have too many to count! My favorite right now is Bailey, and baby sister. You mimic everything, and we have full conversations now. We love to ask you what you have done for the day, and your answers are so cute. Sometimes you tell us stuff that didn't happen so we wonder if you are telling us what you wanted to do. You have gotten much better with using your words when you are having a fit which helps us all calm down, and know what to do.

Tricks: You are such a good dancer, and try to copy moves you see. You can throw, kick, and jump. You are also able to climb in your carseat which is super helpful. You've also gone pee pee in the potty a few times. You've known your letters and numbers for a while, but now you know your letter sounds!

Likes: Being outside, Playing with friends/family, singing, dancing, playing in your box from Bailey's dresser, Playing with Daddy, rocking Bailey, cuddling, playing with my hair, going to the park, sliding, swinging, surprises, going to church to see your friends, playing in your sand box, and you like to go to nap or bed with your Elmo.

Dislikes: Having your diaper changed, meat, leaving your friends/family, Bailey crying, time out, waiting patiently.

Liam you are the most amazing little boy, and we are so blessed to be your parents. You are so funny, loving, caring, and energetic. You make so many people laugh, and I always get compliments on your behavior when we go to church, bible study, or the gym. You amaze us everyday, and I look forward to all of the great times we are going to continue to have.
Here are some pictures of us from the past couple of months...
