Oh Baby!!!

Oh little babers, will you please slow down? 4 months got here much too fast for my liking. I just want you to stay itty bitty a wee bit longer. You can do that,  right? This past month our monkey moo has rolled over from her back to her tummy several times while on her very first boat ride, and decided she was done with that trick. She rolled from her tummy to her back twice in her crib, and is  done with that too. She's blowing raspberries and sticking out her tongue and pretty much an all around slobber monster! And along with babbling more she's started saying uh uh uh when she's over an activity. She loves chomping on her fingers and just started sucking on her thumb. She so loves touching our faces especially if you kiss her hand or give it a raspberry! She also discovered a love of swimming which makes mommy and daddy so incredibly happy! I mean who doesn't want a little mermaid baby?

My oh my! Where is the time going? We have a three month old baby on our hands today! She's turning into quite the social butterfly! She loves to smile and babble at people, especially her mommy and daddy. She absolutely adores bathtime, but can't stand getting out of the tub, but who likes to be cold anyways? During tummy time she's getting better at raising her head and chest off the ground. When she's on her back she's stretching out her legs and kicking, and at night she looks like she's trying to do baby karate in her bassinet! She's learning how to grasp toys, especially the ones that are dangling in front of her. She's enjoying her teething toys and drooling all over the place. Heaven help us but we think Little Miss is getting her first tooth soon. LOL Right now she absolutely loves tiny baby bums on Netflix which her daddy found for her. It's an adorable little show or two that sings nursery rhymes and introduces shapes and numbers It's ...

Hey babers! Last week on monday was your first day of daycare! My dear friend Sarah is going to watch you while I work, and you seem to love hanging out with her and her 2 little girls. But did you know how blessed I am to have a great boss who understands the importance of family? About 10 minutes after I dropped you off, Manny called to make sure I was coming back for my first day of work. I told him yes! He then asked if I was bringing you and I replied no, I had just dropped you off. He says "oh no! You have to bring her!" And then explained that he thinks I should just being you to work with me each day because you belong with me! We've had a few more conversations along these lines since then, and he's admitted that he wishes he could go back in time and spend more time with his kiddos. He just doesn't want me to miss out on anything. So now, Mondays and Fridays you hang out with Sarah and the rest of the week you come to work with me. You love work! The o...

You turned 2 months on June 5th! You have become quite the little ham, you smile at mommy and daddy so much and have even chuckled a time or two. You love to talk and babble and you've recently discovered your hands! It's so much fun watching you try to fit your whole fist into your mouth! You had your first round of shots this month. You were not a fan. We both cried, then you fell asleep. Mommy and daddy took advantage of your nap and got some chores done, thinking you'd be awake in an hour or so... You woke up crying. We could tell you were in pain, so after feeding you, daddy gave you some baby Tylenol. You and I fell asleep on the couch. Daddy woke me up around 8pm and suggested you and I go lay in bed, and when you wake up in an hour we would put you in jammies and into your own bed. Next thing I know my alarm is going off! You and I slept a solid 7.5 hours!while I'm sad you were in pain, I am so greatful for the much needed rest! #evenzombiesneedsleep

We've been trying to switch out your binkies to the Smilo brand because they are better for your mouth. As a kid I had a narrow pallet and 3 sets of baby teeth, causing me to have to have several teeth pulled, and as an adult I have a cross bite. Babe, I don't want you to go through that! So daddy investigated binkies and found Smilo. These binkies flatten when you suck them and will help to stretch your pallet out. BUT... You hate them! Tonight you sucked on the new binky for about 10 minutes and fell asleep making disgusted faces. You woke up about 30 minutes later crying and would not take the new binky for anything! I gave you your old binky back and you quickly grabbed on to the tether and would not let go! You are too stinking cute little miss! I love you so!

Sweet little miss, I adore our snuggles! You definitely have a knack for making mommy and daddy feel special. When you get fussy all we have to do is pick you up. I'll put you up to my shoulder and you'll put your little arms around my neck and snuggle in. Sometimes it's all you need to fall asleep. Next week on June 4th I go back to work and you'll be spending your days with my sweet friend Sarah and her two little girls. I know you'll be in good hands while I'm working, but a large part of me is so sad to be giving up my days of snuggling you whenever you need it, and breastfeeding you full time. These precious moments have slipped by too fast and I will miss them with all of my being. I have cherished our 2 months of bonding so much! Mommy loves you Babers

Little Miss, you will not go to sleep tonight. Every time I think you're out and lay you down your eyes pop right back open and you start crying. Your diaper is dry, you've eaten, we've rocked and patted, and walked and bounced. Read story's, sang lullaby's. And still. Wide. Freaking. Awake. Go to bed child. I told you babies under 2 feet tall should be asleep right now. You thought that was funny and graced me with an ear to ear grin. What's a girl to do?
