Happy Baby

Well, we think we have the cutest baby ever and she is growing so much! She had to go to the Dr. last Thursday (again) for a follow up to the upper GI test and Zantac prescription.  She weighed 10lbs 4oz!  

look at her little buddha (big) belly!

It was a bit of a waste of time if you ask me but its fun to get her weighed.  She's doing so much better since going on the medicine. She still spits up but isn't in pain anymore so we're happy. She's pretty fussy still when she has gas and i'm trying to figure out what it is that i'm eating that upsets her tummy.  Lately she's been a little more uncomfortable than normal.

I love that she's getting a little personality too. She's the most "talkative" in the mornings and its so fun to snuggle with her and "talk" back.  She's getting pretty good at smiling too and hopefully we're on the verge of laughing.  We certainly think we're funny and try our hardest to get a giggle out of her!  

I keep thinking about what my dad said: "You'll spend the first 12 months teaching her to walk and talk then the next 12 years telling her to sit down and shut up!" Probably more true than i know right now.

I hope she doesn't mind all these cute clothes too! I have so much fun picking out something for her to wear each day. I'm actually jealous of her fashionable closet.

Is this my brother? haha! Blaine bought me this monkey when i had my appendectomy a couple of years ago as my "be better present" and i used to sleep with it until Emily came along. The first few nights at home i tried sleeping with it but woke up in a sheer panic everytime b/c i thought it was her and that i was smothering her under the covers. I guess i thought i had been nursing her in the middle of the night and fell asleep with her. It seriously scared me to death. I still wake up sometimes thinking she's in the bed with us and i'm not sure why b/c we don't let her sleep with us. If anything i bring her into our room if she's gotten up before 7am and put her on her boppy lounger in the bed so that we can't roll over on her if we go back to sleep.  Guess i'm not getting as much sleep as i think i am since i have these panic attacks! I thought it would be funny to see them side by side...we'll keep checking to see how big she gets compared to him.

We love our baby girl so much!
