3 Months New

Lettie is 3 months new! Her personality is definitely starting to come out and she has officially giggled! Isaac had told me that he got her to giggle a couple weeks ago but I didn't believe him! Baby girl is in size 1 diapers and getting into her 3-6 month clothes. She still loves to eat eat eat and is sleeping through the night in her big girl room! 

What is it about baby's fresh out of the bath?!?!

Lettie loves to sit up and just look around, she does not want to miss anything! 

Big Girl

Last weekend we moved Lettie into her room but kept her in the rock n' play, what she has been in since we come home from the hospital and then this weekend we moved her into the crib. My thought process was to change her environment gradually so that we would ease the transition process and it worked! She has officially slept all night in her crib for three nights with no problems! I seriously knock on wood every time I think this or say it out loud, but if I was guaranteed to have babies like her I would have 10! 

Nachos, Beer & Baby Talk

This weekend we threw a couples diapers and wipes party for my sister and brother in law for their newest addition to their family, baby girl Jones! We all do the same thing, where we tell the gender but not the name. Alisha will be having a scheduled cesarean section at the end of the month so soon enough we will get to meet the lil princess and find out her name! 

We had a nacho bar with all the fixins and of course some Carol Jones strawberry cupcakes! We had a great turn out and I think everyone had a good time. I love that times have changed and there are more options, rather than a traditional baby shower, and the men can be involved! Brooke, my oldest sister, and I had asked Alisha and Matt what they wanted to do for their newest addition and they said they wanted to get all of their favorite people together and celebrate before the baby arrives, so that's exactly what we did! Unfortunately I failed yet again and didn't take any pictures! However, after asking my sisters we were able to come up with two pictures, between the three of us, so pathetic! 

A pinterest find!

Clayton and Lettie! When I put Lettie on his lap he said, "Lettie is a BIG baby now!" haha

2 Months Old

It wasn't until I took this picture and I compared it to her one month picture that I realized how much she has grown! Lettie is still in size 1 diapers and we are getting into her 3-6 month clothes because she is so long! Lettie girl continues to sleep through the night and doing well at daycare. I am thinking about moving her into her room next weekend... so stay tuned! 

We went and saw Dr. Boe and Ms Lettie is hitting every milestone! When Dr. Boe looked at her weight at her 2 week appointment compared to her 2 month appointment,  he saw she has gained 4 pounds and his response was "Strong work!" It made me giggle. I will have to say it's pretty cool to know that all of her weight gain and nutrition has come from me! (That's the nurse nerd in me!) Lettie also had to get some vaccines, 3 shots and 1 oral :( but she handled it well. We didn't notice any side effects from the vaccines other than she was a little more sleepy than normal. 

Lettie's Measurement

Height: 22 3/4 in = 56th percentile

Weight: 11 lb 14 oz = 60th percentile

Head Circumference: 15 1/2 in = 79th percentile

Workin Momma

Well Lettie and I officially made it through my first week back at work! I am 99.9% sure it was harder for me than it was for her, haha. Monday was definitely the hardest day and of course we were running behind at work and I didn't pick up Lettie until 5:30!  She was the last kid to be picked up (great I'm already that MOM) but we got through it and the babysitter said she did great! Lettie did not have any problems taking a bottle at daycare and the babysitter keeps telling me how wonderful of a baby she is, which I wont lie is really nice to hear. However, Ms. Lettie was in a different outfit every night I picked her up, other than one! I have tried to tell her that these blowouts are not lady like but she apparently has her own opinion! ;) She also continued to sleep through the night this week even with the change of routine! I'm thinking next weekend I am gonna try moving her into her room!

I love how smiley my baby is and it makes dropping her off at daycare and picking her up from daycare that much easier because I know she being taken care of! Here are some pictures from our tough week... ;)

5 Weeks Old

I can't believe my baby is 5 weeks old, I am not sure where the time has gone. Breastfeeding is going great and we have really gotten the hang of things by this point. I call her the milk monster because I am not sure where all of it goes but she sure loves to eat. She is growing like a weed and is finally into her 0 - 3 month clothes and she has graduated into size 1 diapers. She is getting more smiley every day and is awake for longer periods of time. She truly is the happiest baby and (knock on wood) a great sleeper! For the last week she has slept through the night so I hope that continues! Since I am home alone for 5 days out of the week the fact that she is sleeping so well makes me one happy momma! 

Ms. Lettie is sure getting a personality!!! :) 

One Month Old

Stitch is my teddy bear from childhood and I thought it would be fun to use him in all of her monthly pictures to show her growth! Now I know I am biased but I just can't get over how beautiful my baby girl is!
