1 Month Old

It's hard to believe it's been a month already since our sweet Remi arrived. She changes every day and I just love being home with her and Randy has been home all but two weeks. :)

Here are the stats and the latest and greatest:
* 8 lbs. 13 oz, 22 inches long
* She's starting to focus on things more
* Hated sponge baths, but is warming up to tub baths
* Loves her paci!!
* The bouncy chair and the swing are our saving grace
* Smiles show up every once in a while :)
* She's starting to coo and it's so cute!
* LOVES being held and snuggle tme with our little Remi girl is our favorite

Sleeping at night is our biggest challenge. We are getting her to sleep by taking her to see the sites of the neighborhood until she falls asleep...either in the stroller or in the car. We've also found that she is not a fan of the bassinet! Once asleep, she starts out most nights sleeping in her carseat IN her crib, but once she wakes up for her first feeding ends up sleeping in my arms for the rest of the night...and we snuggle in the glider in her room! This isn't getting old for me yet, as I realize these days are numbered and my baby won't be sleeping in my arms for long :( So, I'm still enjoying it...for now :)

We've had a busy month with many lunchtime visitors, celebrated Remi's BFF Audrey's 1st b'day and an impromptu visit from her Granny & D-daddy last weekend.

We would like to say WELCOME to baby Lola Grace Shea - born yesterday to our friend's Zach and Heather! We can't wait to meet your newest addition :)

Here are some photos we've taken over the past few weeks. We'll post again soon!

3 Weeks Old...Just a Swingin'!



Our baby girl is growing fast and has already surpassed her birth weight -- she's now 8 lbs. 2 oz. and the pediatrician says she's doing great. She had thrush, but it has now cleared up!! :) Thank goodness!

Each day we learn more and more about being parents. It is the hardest thing that either of us has ever done before, but also the most rewarding. There's just something about looking into those baby blues :) We're starting to learn the different meanings to her cry, but we're definitely not experts yet!

Stay tuned. We'll post another update soon!!

Me & My Dog!

I just had to share this pic! Oh so cute...

Buck got up on the bed this morning and we said "gentle"..."baby"...he then gently layed down at Remi's feet and layed his head on her tummy!



Seriously!!!!
Too cute...
