[.I love you for all that you are, all that you have been and all you are yet to be..]

I have sat down a thousand and ten times to try and blog within the last couple months!  Life has been crazy!  Jake and Jenna are now happily married and Kailee is changing so much every day!  It is crazy to me how much that precious girl depends on me.

 

I have loved getting to know her and see her personality.

It has finally been a WHOLE WEEK since I have had to supplement with formula.  I think we are getting the hang of things.

Nursing is a whole new world.

Your ENTIRE LIFE revolves around feedings.

Whoever knew I would have to make decisions based upon my boobs!?

I no longer feel like I have boobs actually, just milk bags.
You want to know the worst feeling in the world? Not being able to find your Medela nursing shield!  Talk about a panic attack!
My life changed the moment Miss K and I used that shield.
I started supplementing formula because she was still acting hungry after having what I had pumped.  As I read up on how to increase my supply I found that the more I nurse the more I would produce.  We spent three days straight nursing whenever she wanted (even if it was only 45 minutes later).
I wish someone would have told me the importance of nursing.
I understand some people can't nurse and I am not judging one bit.
I am entirely grateful I am able to nurse my baby.
What is better than free baby food?
 

She sleeps in a bassinet until anywhere between four and six am then I snuggle with her until it is time to wake up.

She used to sleep with me all night.

(I know I'm a horrible mom, yell at me all you want:)

But I LOVE having her sleep with me.

A tiny perfect human being laying in a huge bed with me and dad is one of the best feelings in the world.

Actually the best feeling in the world with a 12 week old is seeing her sweet smile when I act like a complete dork.

She has found her hands.

I love that she soothes herself to sleep making little cooing sounds and sucking on her bink.

Hopefully she only sucks on her bink, I have a feeling she might like her hands, fist, knuckles and fingers better.

She likes taking her blanket and putting it in her mouth.

I waited to try new pants on her cause the waist was always so big, I have finally put them on cause they fit around her waist, now all she has is capris!

Good thing it's spring!

 

 

Puppy-love likes taking naps with her.

 

She has started to grab onto things and noticing herself in mirrors.

 

Still loves snuggling on your chest.

 

Sleeps with her hands up either in the air or by her face.

 

Always naps after bath time. I do bath time in the mornings cause it is SO much easier than trying to have a nightly routine.  Our nights are NEVER the same.

 

 Always smiles RIGHT after she messes her pants :)

 

 She likes to snuggle her caterpillar to sleep.

 

She gets all smily at night when we say family prayers around her bed. 

 

Cutest thing ever.

She is my favorite thing in the world.

 

Since today is a nice stormy day we stayed inside and played model for mom.
