3 month old....

WOW!!  My girl is sooooo big!  14 lbs. and is soooo sweet!  She has started rolling BOTH ways- yikes!  Slow down little baby!  Still an amazing sleeper, eats 5 ounces 5 times a day. Started with huge belly laughs.  I am just loving every second with her.  She does tend to get a bit fussy at dinner time.  We love dress up and she is always dressed to the 9's (while I may be in sweats).  Her brother and sister LOVE her!  She went on her first airplane ride to LA and was an absolute angel!  She is sitting in bumbo and loves going to the gym with mommy in the morning.  We took a trip away for our 10th  anniversary and I missed my sweet, chubby baby! 

Pressley is doing great at soccer and on her first game got her very first goal!  She loves it and likes to be busy. Pressley had her 6th birthday- Posh cookies- all girls and baking!!!

 Landon is loving tackles football- Craig is coaching!  SOOOO fun!

8 weeks old- dr. visit

My mini is 11 lb 14 oz (75th percentile) and 22 inches (50th percentile).  She is such a great eater, eats 6 times a day (every 3 hours) 4 ounces.  She wants more so we have to go to the bigger bottles now.    We moved her to her crib yesterday.  Made me sad, but there is no reason to keep her in the room now that she sleeps all night.  She does great in her crib- goes down at 8:30 till 7:30.  Amazing!  This is the quickest any of my kids have slept thru the night.  I am kinda sad, went by so fast.  She is still super laid back and barely even cries.  She got her shot yesterday and did not even cry- just 1 tiny meow sound.  Love her!!!  She smiles all the time, especially at Landon and Pressley.  Starting to really giggle.

we had Grandpa and Leah visit- so fun!

Landon has started football practice- tackle football- ugh!  So hot!

Pressley will be starting soccer in the fall.  Both Landon and Press are so excited about starting school- kinder and 2nd. 

 

6 weeks old!!!!!

wow- my mini is 6 weeks old!  The last 3 night she has slept 10 hours.  I cannot believe it!  We feed her at 9 and she goes down and sleeps until 7.  All of my kids have been great sleepers- but this is amazing!!  She is 11 lbs. and so sweet and snuggly.  She has eczema and we are treating that- but it is all over her body and spreading.    She is already outgrowing her clothes- makes me so sad.  Smiling and happy!

One month old

My sweet baby is amazing!  She is so SWEET and snuggly.  She is so laid back.  God knew what he was doing with our 3rd baby!

her 1month stats are:

Weight: 9, but she is getting SO big!  Starting to see the sweet baby fat rolls- love them!
Length - 21
Diaper size - finishing up the NB diapers and startinf size 1
Clothes - some (very few)- NB  but mainly wearing 0-3 months now

schedule: we are eating every 3 hours all breastmilk (exclusively pumped) 4 ounces.  She is such a good eater!  She eats at 7, 10, 1, 4, 7, and 9- then she sleeps until 4:30 or 5.  Wow- such a good sleeper! 

What she is doing: talking to us and so happy all the time.  She rarely gets upset and when she does is sounds like a little meow. 

I am so enjoying her- mommyhood is such a blessing the 3rd time around.  I love the snuggling!

We have been soooooo blessed to have my mother in law here to visit/help out with baby/kids for the last 5 weeks.  I seriously could not have survived this time without her.  She was such a HUGE help with keeping the older kids busy/happy while I was recovering and able to stay with the baby so I could nap.  She also helped with meals and cleaning- everything.  We had a great time playing games, watching movies, and shopping.  She is such an amaing person and I love her so much.  Having her here- really makes me ache to have family/grandparents that live close!  My kids LOVE their grandma SO much and our lives are soooooooooooooo enriched by her that we will have a HUGE void with her gone.  I will be counting the days till she comes a again!  We LOVE you Heather!

what I am loving Wednesday!

I am sooooo loving having Grandma Heather here for a long visit.  She has been such a HUGE help to us with the new baby and keeping the older 2 busy and having fun!  It is so nice when she visits- it is just so sad when she leaves!!!

I am loving the smell of my sweet 3 week old after a bath- clean baby!

I am loving the long 4th of July weekend! 

1 week old!

 

What a sweet baby!  So laid back and easy going.  Rarely a cry ever escapes.  We went to doc and she weighs in at 7 lb 3 oz. so she has lost weight.  Doc also heard a hip click.  We will go in 2 weeks to have a hip ultrasound and make sure it is not hip dysplasia.  I am of course stressing about it.  I also went to doc and he removed my staples, still in lots of discomfort from c-section.  Breastfeeding is going ok, monkey eats every 3 hours.  She nurses during the day and gets formula at night.  This worked well with the others so we are just doing what works.  I am trying to stick with the nursing rather than pumping exclusively like I did with Landon and Press.  I am still pumping 2 times a day b/c I make so much, I want to stock up the freezer.  Having my mother in law here has been such a huge help with my older 2 kids.  With it being summer, he kids are bored and are missing the structure.
