3 Months/ Father's Day

Today is a special day for two reasons! Today, our baby is three months old, and it's Drew's first Father's day! What's our girl up to theses days:

• she's weighing 13 lbs. 11 oz. (we know that after an unexpected doctor visit last Thursday, I'll explain later)
• everyone loves to comment on her rolls (she's got plenty of them)
• she loves sitting in her jumper
• she loves pooping in her jumper (probably why she likes to sit in it, huh)
• she's not eating overnight as frequently (still waking occasionally, but usually we can get her to fall back asleep)
• she is full of smiles (we can get a ton out of her after she eats...she's so happy)
• she's had her first (I hope of not many) bouts of pink eye
• she is sitting in the bumbo, and loving it
• her favorite noise to make is "agooooo", she'll go on and on with them, it's the most adorable sound in the world!
• she is in 3-6 month clothing (putting away the newborn and 0-3 was so sad!)
• she follows you around the room

Just to name a few things ;)

Today we celebrated Father's Day with Drew and his family. Unfortunately my dad had to work today, so we couldn't celebrate with all the fathers in our lives, but it was a great day. Kerrington and I made a stepping stone with her footprints in it, and bought him a massage. We're sure he'll love getting that massage! Also, today was special because it was Kerrington's debut onstage with her daddy! Drew sang "Find Your Wings" while holding his baby girl this morning. It was beautiful. I'm so blessed to have Drew as a daddy to Kerrington, he is so loving and caring toward her.

Happy 3 months Kerrington and Happy 1st Father's Day Drew! Love you both with all my heart.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Kerrington wanted to wish her daddy a very happy birthday! Drew turns 27 today! She sure loves her dad, there's no doubt about that... daddy's girl!

Slober face...

Check it out, mid slober!

Best buds!

The girl isn't missing any meals! Gotta love her!

2 month check-up!

Before going to the doctor today.

Our girl is growing!

Today Kerrington had her two month check-up with Dr. Bird. Let's just say, the girl isn't missing any meals. She's 12 pounds! In the 74th percentile for weight. 22 inches long, I believe they said the 34th percentile in height! I knew she was growing, but my goodness, I certainly wasn't expecting to see 12 lbs. on the scale! I'm just so glad that she's growing from eating mommy's milk. It was a wish of mine that I would be able to breastfeed successfully, and I am so glad that she is doing so well with it!

I love our pediatrician, he is so helpful and so kind. He certainly doesn't treat us like the "first time" parents who don't know anything, but at the same time gives us all the information, and answers all the questions we have. If you're looking for a pediatrician, I definitely would suggest him!

Unfortunately today was shot day as well. Our baby girl had to have two shots in her thighs, and one oral vaccine. She took the oral vaccine like it was candy, didn't like the shots as much. She was easily calmed though, only crying for about 30 seconds to a min (the longest 30 seconds ever!). I don't think our night is going to be so much fun though. It is now 10:00pm, Kerrington is being rocked upstairs in her room by her daddy. Notoriously this isn't the best time of night for her, and I think with the shots today added on top, we're going to have us one fussy baby for the evening...to early morning!

The extra fussiness tonight has been really hard on Drew. Don't get me wrong, I hate seeing and hearing our little one crying and upset, but I think that because I (kind of) take care of crying babies as my job, I don't get quite as stressed. Drew on the other hand, had a really hard time tonight when Kerrington was extra fussy. It is so difficult to see your child crying and not knowing how or what to do to make them feel better.

I'm so thankful for a loving husband, and a daddy to my baby girl that cares so much about her. It truly is the best thing to see him loving on her. There is no question about it... this girl is truly LOVED by her mommy and daddy!

Happy 2 months!

Our girl is 2 months today! She's such a happy baby girl, and has made the past two months some of the most exciting, tiring, and emotional months we've had! The past couple of days (knock on wood) Kerrington has herself on some sort of predictable schedule. She's eating every 3-4 hours still, and just recently has been going down for naps and sleep in her own bed. I know, you're probably saying, she's 2 months old!!! Before now she was either being held by me or Drew, or another family member, or when she was laid down, would immediately wake up, and cry. She's gotten used to the idea of laying down by herself now, and it's so great! Don't get me wrong, some of my favorite times are holding my baby girl and watching her sleep, but unlike before, you can't get a ton done when holding a sleeping 11ish pound baby (that's just my guess, she goes to the doctor next week).

This is definitely been our favorite part so far. These smiles are the most amazing thing to see. They have tured from questionable smiles from gas, to definite she's smiling at mommy and daddy smiles!

Here's how different our girl looks from 1 to 2 months... she's definitley filled out those cheeks!

Happy 2 months sweet Kerrington Leigh! Mommy and Daddy love you more than the world!

Welcome Isaac Schultz!

My dear friend Laurie, and her husband Nick welcomed their baby boy Isaac into this world on Saturday, May 9th! We were anxiously awaiting this little one, he decided to stay in his mommy's belly 4 days past the time he was due! I guess it was worth the wait, look at him! He's all arms and legs, he makes Kerrington look like a little piggy! She's definitely got him beat so far with the cute chubby baby legs. They met for the first time last night, pretty uneventful though, Isaac was a bit more interested in his mother ( if you know what I mean) than Kerrington! That's okay though, we'll give them some time before we marry them off! Congratulations Laurie and Nick!!!
