More Development!

Kylie rolled over this past week! She's also grabbing for toys now. As soon as she quits being camera shy, we'll get some video up for you out of towners!

2 Month Dr. Visit & More

Can you believe Kylie is already more than 10 weeks old?!?! We can't. She had her two month visit today and boy was it not a fun visit. Poor little thing got 4 of her vaccinations and she was NOT happy about it. Who would be? Outside of that she's grown quite a bit! She's now 23.5 inches and weighs 11.7 pounds. Rob and I think the weight was a bit off, but that's what the doctor's scale said. (Those scales never are right ya know!) :-) She's still 90th percentile in length, but dropped to 75th in weight and 85th in head circumfrance. Overall, doctor said she's progressing as she should.

As for at home, Kylie is doing great. She's talking a ton, almost has figured out how to roll over, and is generally very observant. She doesn't want to miss ANYTHING! She's always watching everyone and everything. She also can't stand to lay down much anymore. She wants to be sitting up all the time. So baby bumbo for the win!

We also had Kylie baptized on Memorial Day weekend at the First Presbyterian Church in London. Gordon had the opportunity to baptize her. (He married Rob and I only a few years ago.) Well, below are some pictures to catch you up! Enjoy!

1 Month Doctor Visit

So Kylie had her 1 month visit this past Monday....doctor said everything looked great and Kylie is now 90th percentile for everything. We have ourselves one very healthy little girl though after an urgent care visit on Friday night, happens to be allergic to Similac Advance. So we are now buying the expensive formula that is hypoallergenic. Rob decided the cats got to Kylie before we did and told her to puke, poop, cry, do whatever she had to do to get the 'good' stuff. (For those who don't know Cosmo and Magic have to have Science Diet - expensive food - or they get sick and puke all over the place.) So that's it for this week....see you all next week!

A Little Catch Up!

Alright, so it's been awhile as I haven't had time to learn how to post pictures. Can you believe that Kylie is 5 weeks old already?!?! We weighed her last night here at home and she weighed 11.6 lbs! It's no wonder the car seat seemed heavier! She's also gained two inches as she's measuring at 23.5 inches. So depending on the brand, she is starting to wear some of the 6 month outfits because of her length! And I thought she grew out of the cute owl outfit quick!

Kylie has been one busy girl lately! She's been out meeting several people for lunch, been shopping at the Lodi outlets where she met my friend Lisa's new baby girl, been spending time with Granny-Ma so mom and dad could golf some - (though the golf game was the worst golf ever played we believe), and been out and about with mom during the day. Kylie is definatley getting used to mom and dad's busy lifestlye.

Along with being busy running, she has also managed to roll over on the bed from front to back with a little bit of slope in the bed and she almost rolled over front to back on the floor on Saturday! It won't be long and she'll be rolling all over the place! All of the work to learn to roll over has also been making her very tired much to our delight! She slept through the night twice over the last few days and probably would have slept through the night other nights if we weren't messing up her sleep schedule with our traveling.

So here are some pictures from the first 5 weeks - we won't post them all as we took about 300 pictures already!




Cosmo Waiting on Kylie - she's taken to sleeping in the rocker whenever she gets a chance



Kylie at Play Time with her inch worm - she was wide awake and having some fun



I laid Kylie down for a minute in her crib and then had to find a camera before we moved her! Rob even made the panel the quilt is hanging on in the nursery.



This is one of dad's favorite pictures!



Finally, Kylie thought she was pretty cool with the sunglasses Granny-Ma got her!

As for a brief update on the rest of the family - 5 weeks after having Kylie life is getting back to normal - I got the release from my doctor to return to life as normal as I've had a terrific recovery after the surgery. So I'm back at the gym and thanks to loss of baby weight and starting back to weight watchers I'm down 45 lbs - only 29 to go and I'm back to where I was, then I have a bit more to go. Rob is doing great a well though still hoping for a new job in the very near future. So that's it for now, we'll post again after her next doctor appointment first week of May!

3 weeks!

Wow - I can't believe she's 3 weeks old already! We've had a fun two weeks since our last post! She's been to grandma Potts' (so mommy and daddy could have a night out) and to Granny-ma's house. She's been shopping and even made the 1 hr. drive to see Great Grandma Potts at the nursing home! She's doing great and rolled over on her own yesterday - it's not a frequent occurence yet, but you can tell she's working to make it one!!! She also almost propped herself up on all fours yesterday morning and may have had we not had her in jammies that were too big! I'm afraid she's got her mother's disease and is going to try and do everything early - which means her parents are doomed! :-) We have lots of pictures but I'm waiting on an opportunity to sit with Rob so he can show me how to upload the pics here as he says it's a pain....so watch for pics coming soon!

I'm 8 days old already!

Well, Kylie had her first doctor appointment today. Our little girlie is doing great. Doctor said everything looks good and we realized it's no wonder I had to have a c-section! Kylie is in the 90th percentile for weight, 96th for height, and 93rd for head size! She's already back up to 8 lbs. 13 ounces! Outside of that she's giving mom and dad a break and generally only waking up a couple times through the night which is about as good as it gets we figure.

As for mom and dad, both are getting plenty of sleep albeit at different times of the day and both are enjoying their time off with Kylie. Mom is also excited as she's already dropped over 20 lbs! I've got a long way to go to get back to where I was, but it's been great - the donut cravings have stopped and so has the increased "I've got to eat all the time" appetite!

So that's it for now, we'll get more pictures up; however, Rob says they're a pain to post....so it may be a little while!

She's Finally Here

Kylie joined us on March 25th at 6:46 PM after a very very long day. Mommy looks pretty good after 11 hours of labor and then under going a Cesarian section


She was a pretty heafty 8 pounds 12.5 oz and over 20 inches long.












We were able to get her dressed in something other than hospital t-shirts so of course we went with the owls



She's got two very proud parents!




She came home with us on Friday and has been doing good since then.
