Two months

Halsey you turned 2 months old yesterday but it was a rough day so it's a day late. Here's what you're up to!

You weigh 10 pounds 9 ounces and are 22.5 inches long. You are right at the 50th percentile for everything!

You HATE riding in the car- I dread long trips with you and we've had 2 so far this week.

You  have started sucking your fists. You tuck your thumb in and try to cram your whole hand in your mouth.

You smile at us and it melts my heart.

You like to look around and hold your head up by yourself. It amazes me how strong you are!

You are going to be a talker! You just stare at our mouths when we talk to you and try so hard to talk back to us- it's adorable.

You are wearing 0-3 month and newborn clothes.

 

You wear size 1 diaper.

You love to look at the chandelier. You will lay and stare at it for a good 30 minutes.

You don't like naps or sleep for that matter. You fight sleep horrible at bedtime but usually sleep pretty good through the night. Last night it was 8 hours!

You like your gumdrop pacifier. It will calm you down most of the time.

 

You still like taking baths and I still love those pictures of you.

You are getting chunkier by the day and I love your little rolls.

Your eyes are still blue and I'm beginning to wonder if they are going to stay that way.

You are a little wiggle worm- the only time you are still is when you are asleep!

We celebrated your first Valentine's day this past month. Daddy brought home a bear as big as you and a balloon and you were fascinated by it all.

I look at you and still can't believe that you are ours- we love you so much baby girl!

Lovebug

Happy Valentine's Day!

Rub a dub dub!

Miss Halsey loves bathtime and I think they are the cutest pictures. So almost every bath we do a little photo shoot- I'm sure she will love me for these later but these are some favorites!

Look at those chubby thighs- I can't resist to grab the camera!

A little blurry but her face says so much!

Gotta love a clean baby in fresh jammies!



Snowy Days and Dresses

Saturday was a beautiful, sunny, 70 degrees and we went for a few walks!

She liked it once we actally started walking but you sure can't tell from this picture.

Then we woke up to this..quite a difference!

We haven't been out to play today but we plan on it tomorrow. We had a LONG night! Halsey cried (loudly) from 9 until 3 this morning. She took a bottle earlier that evening while mom and dad were watching her while we went to Wal-Mart and got too much air on her little belly. I finally sent Tyler to town at 2:30 to get gas drops because I felt so bad for her and it wasn't getting better. She finally settled down and slept and has been since but I hope we don't go through that again!

A little project mom and I have been working on the past couple of weeks are dresses for Halsey. I think they are adorable but it's outrageous to pay $30 for them off Etsy so we decided to try and make some. I think they turned out pretty cute considering our first time!



I told Tyler to take a picture of the last dress and this is what he did- he though I should be impressed because of the flowers around the dress. He is so clueless when it comes to girly things- but he will quickly learn!

A week in pictures

We have been out of the house one time this week so nothing too exciting to blog about! But it is in the 60s today so I plan on trying out the stroller this afternoon. I hate this crazy weather- the high tomorrow is 67 then snow and ice Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I like Spring and Winter but not a combination!



She was actually talking to me in the last picture but it kind of looks like she is crying! I know most of the pictures have the polka dot background but her changing table is the place she will lay still and be happy the longest! I could put different blankets under her to change it up- shows how creative I am!

We plan to spend tomorrow afternoon in Branson- I'm just ready to get out of the house!

Happy Friday!

One month!

So I meant to post this yesterday but ran out of time! We've had a busy weekend- we went to mom and dad's yesterday, I sewed my first dress for Halsey, and we ate lunch and dinner with the whole family! I can't believe we have a one month old baby...CRAZY!!

Halsey you are one month (and one day) old!

- You still are wearing newborn clothing and a few 0-3 month outfits. You're so tiny!

- You weigh 9 pounds and 2 ounces and we call you our chunky monkey

- You take after your momma and are a GOOD eater. You nurse every 2-3 hours during the day

- You sleep 6-7 hours at night and have been since you were 3 weeks old. I pray this doesn't change!

- You really are a happy baby. You only fuss when you're hungry or tired but who doesn't?

- You take 2-3 naps throughout the day

- You have to be swaddled or you will wake yourself up within minutes! Your hands get you in trouble alot!

- You don't like your swing. You will sit there for about 5 minutes before you start screaming

- You don't like noisy places. If it's too loud around you, you start to cry and as soon as we turn everything down you're just fine. A little high-maintenance :-)

- You don't like sleeping flat on your back. We have to put a pillow under you to incline your head

- You like taking a bath and have ever since we brought you home. You just lay there and stare at me

- You will take your pacifier about half of the time

- You're starting to smile when we talk to you and it just melts our hearts

- You know mine and your daddy's voice and look for us when you hear us talking. I think it's sweet

- You like to lay on your changing table in your room. You can be fussing alot but as soon as I lay you down there you immediately turn it off and look around at your room

- You have just started making little noises and I love hearing your little voice

- You like riding in your car seat if your belly is full. If you even think you are hungry then forget it- it's a long trip to town!

- You are a noisy sleeper- that you get from your daddy!

You have brought so much joy into our lives the past month and I cannot wait to see what else is in store. I love spending the day with you and I thank God that you are my daughter. I don't think you will ever know how much your daddy and I love you. We absolutely adore you baby girl! Happy one month!
