Yet another first...and another!

Kerrington took her first bottle today. I'll eventually be going back to work so we needed to make sure she would take to a bottle. I'm not even sure why we worried... she did wonderful! Dad did pretty well too. He really enjoyed getting to feed hus daughter for the first time.

We had our 1 month check up on Wednesday. Dr. Bird said she was perfect once again, and of course we couldn't agree more! I missed the weight on the screen, but if I would have caught it, it would have said 8 lbs 13 oz, gaining 2 pounds since birth! She's also gained 1 inch, now at 20 1/2 inches long. She's in the 36th percentile for weight and length. Kerrington also recieved another shot, but was easily calmed. What a big girl we have!

Our girl also took a nap in her bed for the first time this week! Miss Kerrington is a napper and sleeper who still likes to be close to her mommy or daddy, so this was a big achievement. Although it was only for about 30-45mins, it was enough to allow me to finish getting ready and get a coulple chores done. We'll see how this first develops over time...

Oh! One more exciting first... Kerrington slept for five straight hours last night! That was her longest stretch so far and made mommy and daddy so happy!

One month old!

Our girl is one month old today! It's hard to believe that it has been a month , but it's definitely been the best month ever! This sweet angel has blessed our lives beyond what we could have imagined. We thank God for her each and every day, and pray that He will give us wisdom and grace to raise her as she grows.
A few highlights from this past month: our girls has learned and excels at breastfeeding (thank the Lord!), loves to sleep on or next to mommy the best, likes to be held standing up when fussy or gassy, celebrated her first Easter, has great head control, is looking at mom and dad, has a few random smiles here and there, was introduced to the paci (only needs it during those fussy or gassy times though!), was dedicated at church, still has dark blue eyes :) and is LOVED more and more each day!!

HAPPY ONE MONTH KERRINGTON!

Stork bite!!

I've been trying to capture a picture of Kerrington's stork bite for awhile now, and finally we got it the other night! I looked up exactly what a stork bite was and basically it's just some capillaries from when she was in the womb. It is usually temporary. When it's on a baby's forhead or nose it's referred to as an Angel's kiss. Here's some more pics of our beautiful girl as well.

Happy baby!

One of the few times she has slept not in someone's arms!

Uncle Aaron changes a diaper!!!

My brother Aaron came over last week. Little Miss Kerrington has opened his world up to all kinds of new things! When Aaron first held his niece, she was the smallest baby he has ever held. Also, when he was over last week, he got to change the first baby diaper he's ever changed! She was very nice to him though, only giving him a pee diaper. There's always next time though!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter from the Humphreys family! Our weekend was full of fun! On Saturday we ran some errands with our girl, and then came home and decorated easter eggs and put together Kerrington's first basket. On Sunday, we went to church and celebrated the resurection of our Lord and Savior. It was an incredible service and it was a joy to have our daughter with us! After church we began the trek to Sellersburg to have Easter with Drew's family. Kerrington did really well with the drive, she slept the whole way! Kerrington of course was loved on by all Drew's family, and ended up being a fantastic day. We made it home around 9 that night and crashed!!! Here's a few pics of our Easter weekend.

Introducing... Kerrington Leigh Humphreys

Today was our first day at church! Kerrington and I made the brave attempt to get ourselves ready and get to church on time! We actually did really well and made it there early enough to feed before her introduction to the congregation! (considering, Drew has to leave way early to get things ready for church!) I have to say, she did really well, only letting out a small cry during the communion meditation. Of course everyone thought she was so beautiful and couldn't stop commenting on her pretty long, dark hair! Tomorrow is another big day, we have another Dr. appointment for a weight check, and church pictures!

Our lil billi baby

Kerrington is 1 week old today! Oh my, how this week has flown by! I can't believe it! We've had a bit of excitement already with our girl... On Wednesday we had a home health visit

and trip to the doctors. Kerrington's billirubin level was just slightly high so the doctor had us go back on Friday to have her level checked again. This time it was a bit higher, so last night another nurse came out and set Kerrington up with a billi blanket. She's got to stay on the blanket for 20-22 hours a day. We've already had another level checked this morning and are awaiting the results. Hopefully just another day and we'll be able to get rid of this thing! Kerrington doesn't seem to mind it too much though, she's snug as a bug! As far as I'm concerned she's the cutest lil billi baby I've ever seen!

Kerrington also had another milestone yesterday, she lost her umbilical cord! She's already growing up too fast..
