Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

The fun has started...

Every single day since Blakeley was born has been fun and exciting. Sure, days have been hard, but those days you forget. With each passing day, we see that she is learning something new and it's beginning to be so much fun as we get to interact with her more.

Last night, we had a BIG milestone! Blakeley rolled over for the first time from tummy to back! I was so excited that I screamed and started crying....then she started crying! I tried to get her to do it again so I could video her but of course, she was over it and probably thought she did something wrong with the way I acted! haha!

I was one of those mom's that was googling everything she should be doing and was so discouraged because she HATED tummy time, wouldn't prop herself up and wasn't rolling over like she should have been. Now I see, every baby is different and will do it at their own pace. I was so proud of her! They say the norm for tummy time is 30 mins a day. We don't do ours all at once because she gets fussy but we do it as long and she will, then if she gets mad, roll her over to her back and let her play and once she has calmed down, put her back on her tummy. Just this week, she has started propping herself up with her arms. Putting her in front of the tv was a big help!

I can't wait to see what she does next! I miss her being a tiny, tiny baby but, I'm so excited for the fun little girl she's becoming! I will leave you with a picture from last night :)

Blakeley Kate {3 Months Old}

wow...I'm really a slacker! I haven't blogged in almost 2 months!

Our sweet Blakeley Kate is now 15 1/2 weeks old! I can't believe she is almost four months old! It makes me so sad. She has got the best personality, biggest smile and eyes to make your heart melt! We love this little girl more than we could have ever imagined!

Here's what Blakeley has been up to:

Sleep: She ususally goes to bed around 9 or so (sometimes later) and sometimes sleep til 6 or 7, and sometimes still gets up once to eat around  3 or 4.

Eating: She take 6 ounces of Enfamil Gentlease every 3-4 hours during the day.

Tummy Time: she doesn't like this very much but we get about 30 mins. in each day.

Bath time: She LOVES bath time and would probably sleep in her tub :)

We are pretty sure she is teething! She chews on her hands all.the.time and drools like crazy but we still don't see any breaking through.

She has becoming obsessed with Chad's iPad and it instantly calms her down and she quits crying as soon as we turn in on.

Weight: pretty sure she is over 13 lbs. She was 12 lbs. 15 1/2 oz. at the 2 month appt. We go back November 6th and I can't wait to see how much she's grown.

She really isn't interested in any of her toys yet. Honestly, she had rather sit and watch sports all day. She is a copy of her daddy...for real.

Blakeley,

     We are so proud of the sweet girl you are! You make every day better and we love you so much. Excited to see what's to come for you!

                                                                      Love you,
                                                                      Mommy & Daddy
