Long Overdue Update

So, this being a mom thing has really cut into the blogging. I will at least try to post pics as much as possible when the writing suffers. The below updates are probably out of order and mixed up but I am trying to remember everything!

So, the best news of all. She has been sleeping through the night for a full 8 days now. She sleeps about 8 hours at night between feedings. It is awesome, but I am going to enjoy it now, as I doubt it will last...

Right now I am in the process of trying to get her to start napping in the afternoon for more than 30 minutes at a time. That has proven to be harder than I thought. I was trying it without swaddling in the afternoon (as it is art of her nighttime routine), but today am trying the swaddle. We will see if that is the key. Justin and I may try having her sleep one night without the swaddleme and see how that works.

We have started taking regular outings and walks when the weather is good. She is such a good baby in the car and in her stroller. We went to my office last week on my birthday and she was the hit of the firm!

We went to the doc again Tuesday for a weight check and she had another large gain. 22 ounces in 2 weeks. My little one is not so little anymore. She is a whopping 9lbs 10 oz. We have her 2 month well baby check and shots on the 2nd. I imagine that is going to be a rough day.

Justin and I have been seeing her personality more and more. She is smiling all the time now and has begun "talking". Funny thing is when she gets really excited to where she is talking, she spits up every time!

Well off to take care of a waking baby. That nap lasted 3o minutes.....

Here are some new pics. I attempted to upload videos, but that is taking some work.


Snuggling with Daddy :o)


This is how she passed out on me....


Sleeping and resting comfortably with her toy.
