2 Weeks Old

My baby girl is now gestationally 2 weeks old! She is doing fabulous too. I am amazed everytime I look at Miss L. She is growing into an active babe. She loves looking around and watching activity. Big A, Miss L and I went to the lake this wkd and my aunt and uncle's grandchildren were there. Miss L just watched them play and I think was interested in making a little action of her own vocally and physically. She is a cutie!

Mornings have become a time of play this past week. Miss L likes laying on the floor and watching her play mate. We also play with her bunny, hippo and rubber duckie. She will look towards the rattle noise and pay attention to it. Miss L has even allowed us to put her in the swing. Too bad the swing only swings when it is empty. I don't get it. Daddy is going to try and fix it otherwise a new swing might be in order. Miss L is also outgrowing her bassinet. I went and priced out pack n plays the other day. Papa is making a crib so we will need something in between the bassinet and crib. Our girl is growing!

Sleep is still an issue, or lack of sleeping in our own beds. I really don't get it! I lay Miss L down and she is awake in minutes. I've been trying out the tummy position during the day when I am by her. That works sometimes but not usually. Something is going to have to change because this mama is going back to work after Labor Day!



Miss L enjoyed her 1st wedding ever. Well, she slept through the majority of it except for when she was hungry. Isn't she adorable in the polka dot dress. I love it!



Uncle A is moving up this wkd for school and we are so excited to have him close by again. I really do enjoy his company and good spirit when he is around. Welcome back Uncle A!

Today




This one is for Grammie



Miss L survived her 2 month shots, why? Because she is NICU Strong!


Pics with the Gmas at L's first baby shower.

Thanks Great Aunt B and Cuz M!

L's Baptism. She did not make a peep until picture time.

Go figure! Uncle W and Uncle Aa are L's sponsors.


Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Life has been good here. Miss L has been sleeping the nights in her bassinet a lot better lately. I am super thankful for that, I have a new appreciation of bedsheets. Now I just need to keep working on staying awake until L falls back asleep. I do ok until that 4am feeding. L is starting to interact just a bit when you talk to her and play with her. She continues to amaze me with her growth and facial expressions. I love them and cannot get enough of them! I think she is going through a growth spurt because she is eating every 2hrs if not sooner. I hope it's a growth spurt anyways because I feel like I am feeding my girl constantly. Well, the night is going by fast and mommy gets to leave the home for a bit, so I better get a move on. More pics to come. Love you fam!
