(Once again, time flies.  Going by notes on this one too.)

I can finally say that I know what the "Mother's Instinct" is.  I don't know if it is her, or me, or maybe it is just third times a charm, but I have been able to read this little miss much better than the other two.  I just know what she needs when she needs it and it is so awesome!  Certainly has helped with the adjustment of a new baby in our home.  She really is such a happy baby.  She only cries when she needs something, usually just hungry or tired.  And boy does she sleep like a champ!  So many days this month she spent the majority of the day sleeping and I thought for sure it would be a rough night because she truly slept ALL DAY and yet she would still sleep like a champ all night.  Amazing!  And she doesn't need to be rocked or anything, just feed her and lay her right back down.  I'm telling you, best baby ever!  She even has slept for 8 hrs straight a few nights!


She has been by far my best eater!  I could tell straight from day one too from all the diapers she was going through.  I didn't have much milk with the other two and with her I finally have enough!  She has a super strong suck and likes to eat.  And as a result we have had to change a lot of diapers.  And I seriously mean A TON!  in just her first 2 weeks of life she went though 200 diapers.  No you did not read that wrong, 200 DIAPERS!  And I'm the kind of person that waits until they are super full until I change them!  It was the craziest thing for us since our other two were quite the opposite.  She is our little pooping machine.  In fact she would even surprise us.  She would take a little time getting it all out, just because there was so much.  Lots of times we guessed wrong and would open the diaper to discover she wasn't quite finished.  What an adventure that was!  But at least there was no flying poop like P-man used to do.  But as funny as it sounds, it was so comforting that she was so regular because the other two were not and it ended up having other problems.  So yay for poop!


This picture describes so perfectly the relationship between these girls.  Em ALWAYS wants to be all over Riley.  Touching, holding, snuggling, kissing, talking, everything you can imagine she wants to do to this little miss.  And you can see in the picture how Riley feels about it.  Haha!  These big kids sure love her to pieces though!  And they are such great helpers.


 She already is growing like a weed.  She has outgrown newborn size clothes and she is getting so strong!  She sleep like a true Score and can be passed around in a crowded room and not even twitch.  One of my favorite things that she does is laugh in her sleep.  It is truly THE CUTEST thing in the world.  Makes me so very excited for her real laugh.  Unfortunately she got Thrush but it doesn't seem to be bothering her so I'll probably just wait it out.

I still can't believe how quickly time is passing.  We sure love this little miss and are so excited to watch her grow!

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

Em's Blessing

By
Emily's Blessing day was so great! Since we were moving home so soon after she was born, we decided to just wait until we got out here to CA so our family could be there for it. It was pretty low key compared to P's (and by that I mean less family there) but was still just as wonderful. Jeff gave a beautiful blessing. It was also special because she wore the dress I was sealed to my parents in. Jeff wasn't a fan of how long it was for such a small baby, but it was so neat for her to wear something that is so special in my family. The P-man looked like a little stud in his outfit too! I wish I would have gotten some of the two of them together, o-well. It was a fabulous day! Thanks so much for all the family and friends that were there, it meant so much to have you there and we missed those who couldn't come! Isn't she so perfect! I love this picture of her laying on the grass. She is so pure and clean and perfect ! I love her!

Disneyland

By
A little late but . . . We Went To Disneyland! So you may or may not know that we went to Disneyland back in July. It was so much fun! As we were planning the trip I was really worried about how it would be taking 2 babies there, in my mind they were way too young to do anything there but boy was I wrong! All of us had a great time and we all went on tons of rides, even Emily! Here is a list of all the rides we went on: (The bold ones were P's very favorites) Disneyland Railroad Train Enchanted Tiki Room The Jungle Cruise Tarzan's Tree House Pirates of the Caribbean Haunted Mansion Winnie the Pooh It's a Small World Story Book Land canal boats King Aurthur's Carousel Dumbo Mad Tea Party Tea Cups Peter Pan Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Pinocchio Finding Nemo Submarine Autopia (Cars) Did you know babies could do this much! I sure didn't! I even nursed during 4 of the above mentioned rides which was so nice and saved tons of time! They both did so well on all of the...
