Kaymin: 2 Months

I mean, where has the time gone? I'm sure I'll say that for every post I make, but I can't believe this little munchkin has been around for 8 whole weeks! Ahhh we just love her so much!

You're consistently sleeping 6 hours at 

night! What a world of difference that has made for mom and dad! Hopefully, you keep it up…please keep it up.

You smile and coo all the time now and it's the most adorable thing ever. Sometimes when I'm frustrated at midnight and can't get you to sleep you'll flash a gummy grin and all my frustrations melt away. Little stinker ;)

You still hate tummy time, but have since discovered that you love napping on your tummy. We will do our usual afternoon tummy time session and you scream and cry for about 3 minutes and then fall asleep, sneaky girl.

Your farts are huge and resemble that of a truck driver. I'm usually woken up in the middle of the night, not by crying, but by your loud toots haha.

Nollie is fiercely protective of you. If grandma's dogs get too close to you she chases them away and will stand guard next to you until they leave the room.

If I'm in the kitchen cleaning bottles and can't hear you crying, Nollie will run downstairs and scratch at my legs letting me know you're awake.

You love your baths.

We've been going for walks outside lately and you love it! You love being outside and looking at all the trees.

You still give dad fits in the middle of the night, but not as bad as you used to. You think any time with dad is party time, I can't blame you.

You've almost outgrown your newborn clothes! Your newborn leggings are all shorts and your onesies have turned into muscle shirts haha

I've discovered that loud music and dancing soothes you. Perhaps it was me working at Hollister my entire pregnancy that has lead to this? Whatever works!

You love sleeping in your bassinet now, hopefully this will make our transition to the crib an easy one.

You like to be swaddled, but only with your hands out.

You sleep with your hands either up over your head, or your right hand by your cheek. It's so cute

You've got the cutest pouty face ever. I can already tell that you're going to be a lot of drama!

If someone else is holding you and you hear me talking, you immediately start looking for me. I love that you know I'm your mama.

I bought one of those mirrors that goes oh the back of the headrest in my car so I can see you when we're out and about. You absolutely hate it. You scream and cry whenever you're uncovered in the car.  Maybe you'll like it in a couple weeks? 

We were out shopping and a lady thought you had to be at least 6 months old... You're definitely a big baby! We're so curious to find out how much you weigh at next weeks appointment. 

You like taking a really long nap in the mornings which has been sooo nice! I can get ready and get so much done around the house! 

I can't believe you've been with us for two whole months! Everyday gets better and better. I love being your mom and seeing you grow and change everyday. I miss my little newborn, but I am loving all these fun changes that are happening!

Kaymin: One month

Holy cow, has it really been a month!? That first week was probably the longest most sleep deprived week of my life... Everyone would say, "it goes by so fast, enjoy it!" I would politely laugh and say, "oh, yes it certainly does!". Secretly, I was thinking that time had surely stood still because there was no way I was only 10 days postpartum. Now that we have this first month under our belt, I feel like I've got a much better handle on things. I'm not as sleep deprived (or I'm just used to no sleep) and I'm starting to understand kaymin and her little personality better. 

At one month: 

You started to projectile vomit after every feeding and your doctor thought you had pyloric stenosis. After 2 ultrasounds, days of worrying, and prayers being answered everything was fine! Your doctor told us to prepare for surgery, but luckily everything in your tests came back normal, much to the surprise of your doctor. We couldn't be happier. We learned that you're a little piggy when you eat and we have to cut you off mid feeding to catch your breath. You hate it, but it made all the difference. 

You slept 5 hours straight once. Mom woke up panicked and checked on you every ten minutes instead of sleeping. Crazy mom. 

You're so incredibly strong! You hold your head up and kick like no ones business. We've started tummy time with you and you are not a fan. Dr. Jerman says 5 minutes 3 times a day, sorry babe! 

You love car rides! Our favorite time of the day is going out for our afternoon drive. You knock right out and will sleep for hours afterword. It's sometimes the only time I can get things done or nap! When the weather gets nicer we will start going for walks! 

At your last doctors visit you weighed 9.2 lbs! You've gained a whole pound in one month. 

You're so much more alert now. You recognize mom's voice and will turn your head to find/look at me. I love it. 

You refuse to go to sleep for dad. I think it's because you miss dad and want to play. Dad thinks he's bad luck. 

Nollie is obsessed with you. The second we come home from our afternoon drive she jumps right in your car seat to cuddle you. 

The other morning I brought you into bed with me to snuggle and eat. We slept from 9:30-1:30 and it was great :) 

You're the noisiest sleeper I've ever heard. You grunt, snore, and whistle louder than any grown man does. After your first week home we moved you to your own room, sorry! 

You continue to steal our hearts every single day! I couldn't be happier to be your momma!
