Fun in the Sun!

This weekend we went to a friend's pool both days. We had a great weekend, so we all decided to take advantage of it. We enjoyed a lot of play time, good food and good times with good friends! :) THANKS KIM! Remi enjoyed herself too. I think she lounged more than anything. She especially LOVES her new pack-n-play - THANKS AGAIN KIM!! She did get in the pool...we had to get pics afterall. She wasn't a fan, but her daddy calmed her down and she sat on the kickboard for a few minutes. It was sweet! I love her suit! It's so baby!





Remi is now officially a formula-fed baby. Late last week, we decided to try some formula to see if we could make her belly feel any better. Well, it did! She has been on formula now for 72 hours and she is 100% happier!!!! :) She sleeps, she naps, she doesn't spit up and she smiles a lot more. I am also a happy mommy! You see, breastfeeding was no walk in the park for me. I worked hard to get the milk supply up so I could feed her, but as it turns out...it wasn't agreeing with Remi Roo. I had to give up dairy completely...which is very hard to do! I also now have some relief and help from Randy with feedings. I even slept 7 hours straight on Friday night!!!

I admit...I miss the time I spent with my baby girl during feeding time, but I know this is best for Remi. So, if Remi's happy then I'm happy! It's amazing! I didn't think it would make such a difference, but it did :)

That's the latest. Stay tuned until next time.

Family, Friends & Fireworks!

This past week my sister and her family came to visit from Alabama...all to meet little Miss Remi! We had a GREAT week and I'm so sad they're gone :( But, all fun must come to an end sometime, I guess. Remi's cousins, Chan & Vannah, were a HUGE help with Remi. They sure could make her smile :)


On Friday, we went to The Detroit Zoo. I had only been once before and of course, it was Remi's fist time...along with her Aunt Chelle, Uncle Scott and cousins, Chandler & Savannah. We had a nice enjoyable day, but we were pooped at the end of the day!





Then, we had our 4th Annual Partin July 4th BBQ. We started out the day by going to the Clawson parade with the Nelson's. Remi wasn't too impressed this year, but just wait until next year!



We BBQ'd with friends and family and the night ended with the Clawson fireworks. It was a great day and we had a blast! Remi slept right through the fireworks, which is amazing to us since her bedroom is at the front of the house and the fireworks are shot off directly across the street! What a trooper! Here are some pics from the day. Side note: her outfit was one of my favorite things...courtesy of Aunt Chelle's sweat shop, she was monogrammed from head to tush :)

We hope everyone had a great 4th...we certainly did!

2 Months Already!

I can't believe Remi is already two months old! Today, I looked back at all the photos from when she arrived and then recent pics...she's changed so much!! She's really starting to have a personality and I am so happy to be at home with her for now. I love seeing her grow! She really is a good baby.

Here are the latest stats on our baby girl...
*10 lbs. 15 oz - 50th percentile for weight
*23.75 inches long - 92nd percentile for height -- she's gonna be tall like her momma!
*Slept IN her crib all night last night {YEAH!!!!} with a break at 2 p.m. for a snack.
*Still has reflux, but it seems to be getting better. We're still giving her Zantac three times a day to make her tummy feel better
*Coos A LOT
*Laughs at anything on the ceiling...oh the little things ;)
*Smiles when you smile.
*Will hold a rattle if you put it in her hand
*Nursing every 2.5-3 hours
*Naps great, but only in her swing or bouncy seat. Mostly the swing!

We have the 4th of July coming next weekend and with Clawson's Fourth being a big deal we're hosting our 4th Annual Partin BBQ. Also, my sister and her family will be visiting from Alabama to meet baby Remi {BIG SMILE!!!:)}, so check back later for an updated post.
