6 quick weeks

And another week has flown by. I feel like I repeat myself but time really is going by in just a quick blink.

You are such a cutie and cant get enough of you!

You are sleeping longer and longer at night and that is extremely nice. Your new record is 6.5 hours! Of course mom didnt get that because I was upchecking on you!

 You like to get up around 6 or 7 which is going to be good when I go back to work. I plan to start the routine so I will be a little more prepared. Im sure I will still be a mad woman trying to get us ready! Bedtime routine is down for now which is a bonus.

You are starting to enjoy your bath. I have to get it nice and toasty in the bathroom and the water. You are my child becausr I love scolding hot water and a sauna :) I completely understand!

You likd to sit up on the couch all on your own and check things out. We have lots of conversations during this time. My favorite is when you get excited and make this certain noise, love love it!

You are getting so big, my goodness! Looking back at pictures makes me a little sad at how quick you change and grow but I am looking forward to what is to come. You will be scootin before we know it the way you move and get up on your knees! Craziness I tell ya!

Friday we went and ate lunch with all the kids at school. Mom was a bit hesitant in doing this but the kidos were very excited and you were a reward for their reading formatives :)

It was a very sad stressful day for mom. We found out your sitter got another baby so she could not watch you.  This is the second time for this to happen. Not only that but you were to start in 3 weeks! I  would love to stay at home but we just cant swing that, sorry baby. Luckily the learning center had an opening!  There was also a really bad shooting at an Elementary school and it really hit home. I could not imagine losing you OR one of myother 38 kids. I absolutely love my job and my onery kids as well! My heart is very heavy and prayers to those families and community.

Saturday your dad went golfing with the guys so we had another girls day but who doesnt want a girls day with you? I love getting to spend every day with you! 

Sunday was a lazy day for us, actually not really, you were having a fussy day and werent sleeping much so then were even more tired. Monday was a much better day! We went to check out the new daycare and I think youre going to like it, I hope. I am not going to lie, I am terrifiedanf heart broken thinking about me going back to work and having to lrave you, but we can do it and you will be fine! (Thats what I keep telling myself anyways)

Today you get to meet a new friend, Arden! Your dads grew up together so I am a bit excited you girls are close in age and get to be friends too! She is a doll. Then mom has her check up so we will see what you weigh, I am extremely curious how mucj youve packed on little miss!

Well little one next week will be Christmas! You wont really understand but next year gyou will, and you still are spoiled this year with lots of goodies! Love you more than words can say!

5 weeks

So it has been less than a week since I posted about your one month but you change every day so it is ok! :) (I obviously started this Monday)

This weekend we went home home to see your grandma, grandpa and your aunts and uncle. mom also had a christmas party and of course you went too. Mom has to show her baby off, plus for our friendsgiving you wer not a happy camper so I needed to show them you arent always a fussy butt. I am happy to say that you saved the fussiness for later when grandma came to get you. Poor baby had some gas bubbles. Then you were miss piggy and ate 8 oz within 3 hours! Goodness baby you were hungry! But hey you slept for like 6 hrs so that is ok!

This past week you have started to flash some real smiles and I cant get enough of it! you have also giggled a few times, we love that too! You now sleep for 4 to 5 hours at a time for me! yay making progress! You also have stsrted talking to us and enjoying wiggle time. I can get a good 30 minutes of play time on the floor. Of course your favorite thing to do still is be held. Im enjoying it while I can.  Your diaper change sessions are lots better as well, not as much screaming.  You continue to do really well in your car seat! Thank heavens!

Christmas is in a few weeks and this is one of my favorite holidays. Someday you will be able to really enjoy it too! Until then I will just dress you up and take pictures with the tree and lights.

love you little miss!

One month!

I keep asking myself, Where has the time gone? The past 4 weeks, well really year have flown by. I cant believe you are a month old.

You continue to change every day. The biggest accomplishment you have made is sleeping in your crib! Mom is extremely proud of you and thankful! We all sleep better and naps are better and more productive for mom when I am not napping and holding you too :) but I of course still get plenty of snuggle time with you!

 

 

The latest:

• You looooove Being held...unless you are doing tummy time, wiggle time, in the bouncer {all three for like 15 minutes at a time max}, or sleeping. Thank heavens you like the baby carrier or nothing would get done :) You don't like too much wiggle time or to just lay there but you are still just a newbie so it's ok :) 
• You eat really well! We have started doing bottles during the day hoping it will help with your gas and fussy hour (pretty sure it is) which makes it a little difficult to pump when you're constantly in my arms but were making it work.
• You hate your car seat at first but then you do great if we are moving. You do not like to just sit still. I say this now and watch it backfire on me as we are heading back towards Manhattan tomorrow.
• As I said earlier, you are sleeping in your crib, yahoo! Now that you are sleeping in your crib, you can start sleeping longer in the night mom wont mind:) You have gone for 4 hour stretches at the most, it's normally 2-3 still though. Again, you love to eat!
• You make just the sweetest faces from smiles to your puppy dog face. We love them all
• You make the silliest noises too, mostly the grunts, especially in your sleep, you are very vocal.
• You're out of newborn clothes and diapers (a few too many blow outs)
• You take your binki when you need to keep sucking or to calm you down. 
• You know your mom and dads voices and turn when you hear them. You like to stare at us too but we like to stare back.
• You are grasping things, mostly fingers and shirts but you will hold toys when mom helps.
• You're still strong as heck! You hold your neck up for a long time. You can even push up on your arms and hold yourself for a little, and you like to try to stand up.
• You are not a fan of baths but love sitting near the space heater when we get you dressed and lotioned up after.
• You also 8/10 times HATE your diaper change, not too sure why but you do and nothing really calms you down either.  Good thing I am pretty turbo at it! I hope this gets better!
 

I'm sure I've forgotten some things but that sums it about up. We love you very much and can't wait to see how you change and grow over the next month. Mom is not looking forward to going back to work and you going to the sitter however!

 

(This picture took a few times until she was finally happy. Did I mention she doesnt really like to just lay on the floor. They say you can't spoil a baby until 6 months but she is definitely spoiled!)

Happy one month! Love you baby Daylynn!
