I Just Found My Flip Camera~Missing In Action For 2+ years!

I realize its not called a Boppy.

Successful Night.......Can she possibly be "babywised"?

I really don't like this book, how many babies sleep through the night at 8 weeks (as the author says is normal). However, I do like the fact that my 11 week old slept from midnight to 7.30 AM. Can she possibly be babywised? More to come

Look What the Cat Dragged In

Its a baby snow ferret that is currently in a Mason jar awaiting show and tell on Friday.  Good job Tom the Cat!

I'm a little peanut short and stout~ tip me over and pour me out

2 Month Check Up

Here are your 2 month stats:

1) Length: 22.5 in      52%ile
2) Weight: 9.8 lbs      19%ile
3) Head: 15 in            30%ile

You have cradle cap (dry skin on forhead), but we have started rubbing olive oil on it prior to bathtime and it sure does look better.

You also have a stork bite on the back of your neck. This red beauty mark will disappear in a few years.

• You still love your changing table.
• When you are eating or just happy, you love to kick your right foot back and forth.

• I love it when I have you on my shoulder and you suckle on my shoulder. You aren't hungry (b/c you just ate), but you like to suck on my skin!!

You are finally healthy, now that you are on Alimentum formula. The reason you are on this EXPENSIVE stuff is because you have a dairy & soy allergy and mama can't eliminate both from her vegetarian diet. Oh well, nothing but the best for this little one.

I'm getting fatter by the hour

Snow has fallen

Thats our pumpkin

My 34th Birthday with Shelby, Tina, & Maggie 11.11.11

Shelby is quite becoming these days

Tina was looking for the hot sauce

Shelby couldn't drink her vino and feed Iris without help from her friend

This is my weird look. Happy Halloween

My Personality

  I don't like having straps put on me in the carseat


However, once snuggled in I love to sleep in the carseat!






I LOVE hanging out on my changing table.  In fact, it is my FAVORITE thing to do. I like practice my
                                                                                    dance moves with my arms and legs.
                                                                                    My best move is "the punch"



 

We love Auntie Sarah

We loved having Sarah at the house for 3 days.
She is a good burper and is very patient.

I Feel Like a Burrito

One Iris stuffed burrito coming right up

Happy 8th Birthday to My Big Brother!

Iris likes Chancen's laugh

Chancen's birthday was on Friday and we celebrated on Thursday. He chose to eat dinner at the Panda Chinese Restaurant and then picked up an Oreo Blizzard from Dairy Queen. He ate a TON!!!

Little Miss Sunflower

I was trying to show Iris' size compared to a sunflower (which is almost the same!)

Cross Eyed

I have been trying to get the "right" picture for the baby announcement. I have a TON of ones I can't use. However, I love it when she is cross eyed. Keith says I shouldn't use it for the announcement.

2nd Anniversary on Sunday October 16th

 

Keith & I had a lovely day. We took a hike around the property (as Chance watched Iris sleep) and Keith made us lunch.

Iris was rather fussy.

We dressed up in our wedding attire and tried to take a self portrait.

I cooked us dinner (sauteed shrimp, broccoli and mashed potatoes).
However, as Iris does best, she woke up just as I served dinner. I ended up nursing her at the table.

Cloth Diapers

So, do you like me in my fuchsia Bum Genius cloth diaper?

or, my shamrock one?

Visit With Dad, Frank, Stephanie (Mom was already here)

Uncle Frank Cooing at Iris

Dad was beat after playing golf with Keith. We found it amusing to watch him get up and move around

Frank and Steph with Parsons and Henry.  Parsons missed ya'll when you left, The only time he has ever slept downstairs was when you were here!!!
