One Month Dr. Visit

November 23,2012

Finally! Your one month Dr. visit! We couldn't wait to see how much weight you have gained. Grandma and Grandpa made bets, Grandpa won with a guess of 8 pounds. We definitely could tell that you were getting chunkier, your little thighs finally started to fill out and get little fat rolls and your chin got a little chubbier.  It really does make mommy so giddy, I just want you to be healthy and happy and it seems to me that you are anyway. ; )

So the results are in, you now weigh 7 pounds and 14 ounces! and you are now 20 and a half inches long! You can almost fit into your moby! (which daddy is not excited about because he doesn’t “trust” it…oh boy.  Anywho, the Dr. visit went great. All of your test that they took at the hospital turned out normal, so that made us happy. The nurses at the Dr.s office just gushed over you and how pretty you are and how much pretty hair you have. Your daddy and I had the biggest, proudest smiles on our faces the entire visit.  Now, I’m one of those parents, I can’t help it!  When the Dr. tells you everything looks perfect, it just makes you feel so good as a parent. There is honestly, no better feeling. 


Love,
Mommy

One Month Old

One Month

November 21, 20012

My little Peanut is a month old! Holy cow, it seems like just yesterday that I was holding you in the hospital, no wait it seems like just yesterday that I was announcing I was pregnant with a little peanut in my belly!  You have really changed this week. You are already a lot more alert than the week before and getting stronger and stronger.  You’re not as fragile as you once were. ; ) 

Your vision is improving so much! You are starting to follow my face, side to side. You also notice your toys on your car seat and bouncer, you don’t look at them for too long, but you definitely can tell they are there! You have also recently become very attached to our lamp in the living room. If you are ever fussy, all we have to do is put in you front of the lamp and you go into a trans.  It’s hilarious. You also starting staring at the ceiling fan in the living room, that is before daddy took it out, oh well.  

We had our first fussy night this week. I call it “The night I gave into the paci.”  You seemed to have the case of the toots and nothing seemed to sooth you until I stuck that paci in your mouth and you fell fast asleep. I didn't mind giving in to the "paci", because it had been a month and I had complete faith that you were well established on my breast. Plus if that makes my poor baby feel better then that’s what she gets. I really can’t complain, one long night after a month with a newborn, how lucky am I? You are such a sweetheart. 

You are sleeping about 3-4 hours at a time, at night. Not too shabby. However, with days your “naps” can range from 1-5 hours and you never know when they will be or how long. Hopefully they will be more routine in the coming months.  

You have also just discovered your hands. However, you are not too good with them just yet. You like to bonk yourself in the face and make a pouty face after the fact. It is, at the same time, sad & quite hilarious. 

You still make all sorts of goofy faces. I LOVE them all! Especially your sleepy smiles ; D They just make my heart melt. 

Poo Face!

 You are starting to recognize mommy and daddy’s voices too. You turn your head towards us when we speak, it’s pretty cute. 

Well, I think that’s it on the updates. 

Your first Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Daddy and I are sooo excited, it’s one of our favorite days of the year. Also, your one month Dr. visit is this week, can’t wait to see how much you have grown!  

Just don’t grow up too fast lil Pnut.    

Love, 
Mommy

Lola’s First Bath

Lola’s First Bath!!!  

November, 4th

“I could get used to this bath thing"

 Frog belly!! haha love it!

Daddy was so gentle ;)

Just hangin out

 Lil Duck

Holdin mama’s finger

Daddy gave Lola her first bath and she loved it! Okay, well I don’t know if she loved it, but she hung out and was just chill the entire time. She looked completely relaxed, as if she was loving it anyway.  When he first dipped her in, she whined for a couple seconds, but that was it.  Mommy took pics and video taped. ; ) I would have to say, the first bath was a success!!! Good job Lola Rae!! My clean, sweet baby girl!!

Week 2 & 3

2 weeks already?

These first two weeks..what can I say really, except for the best two weeks of my life. I can’t believe you are already 2 weeks old.  Some days I feel like we just brought you home, and others I feel like you have been here forever. But it is true what everyone says, they grow so fast.

You still only fit into newborn clothing, they are actually starting to fit just right. I’m not sure what your weigh at this point, but I know you are gaining and filling out more and more each day.

You had your first bath at 2 weeks and we joke about you looking like a frog. You have these long skinny legs and your belly is starting to protrude out to the sides, it is seriously the cutest thing ever.  Your cheeks and chin are getting a little chunkier as well. ; )

Your hair is getting longer. A lot of people thought you would lose some, but it just keeps getting longer and fuller.  It’s so beautiful.  You now have eyebrows and eyelashes! I’m really hoping you have your daddy’s eyelashes and I think you just might!

Your vision is also improving each day. Instead of just being able to see to my face you are starting to notice lamps and other bright lights.

You are not sleeping as much, but still most of the day.  Instead of waking up every 3-4 hours at a time at night, it’s more like even 2-3, but mommy doesn’t mind ; )

You also started spitting up this week, which had me worried at first, but I know it’s totally normal. Our usual sleeping routine is, you wake up mommy first changes you, feeds you, burps you, changes you again and then rocks you to sleep which can take up to 30-90 minutes at a time, but usually last about an hour.

We got lucky and the weather turned out to be beautiful this weekend, so we got to take you on your first walk with Aunt Nicky and the Huffs! Since it was nice outside,  I had aunt Nicky take some family pictures of us! Plus, we had to get some taken before daddy got his braces put on. ;D

3 weeks!

What can I say, except for the fact that when I think you can’t get any cuter you do! I love watching you become more and more alert. Even though it makes me sad that you are growing and getting older (okay, I know you are only 3 weeks) it’s also pretty amazing to see you change and the new things you can do.  You have recently started falling asleep with your right hand on you cheek, when you are in my arms. It’s adorable. 

You are staying awake for longer periods at a time during the day, which means I get to stare into your eyes more!

Your lips are getting fuller, I think they might be my favorite.. no your big bright eyes…no maybe your cute nose or your fuzzy head.. okay, everything about you is adorable.

I can’t wait to see how much weight you have gained next week at your one month Dr. visit. You sure a getting chubbier every day, it’s so precious, especially that little double chin of yours!
