HELP!!


Ok, I need some serious help here. As you can see, I have 4 DIFFERENT bottles here. Kaylie won't take any of them! I have spent so much time pumping milk, storing it, trying to feed her a bottle, and it's all a waste of time! I love breast feeding, but wow, I need a little break sometimes! I just got the one on the far right last week off the internet for like $20. I thought it was a great investment. All the reviews on it said it was great for babies who breast feed and won't take a bottle. I was so pumped when it arrived....then I tried it and wanted to cry.When we try to give her the bottle, Daniel does it, thinking she'll take it better from him. We tried for 2 hours the other day. I think all 3 of us were about to loose it! Her problem seems to be that she won't latch on. She just plays with it and moves it around in her mouth. So....if anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE help me out! I need some advice.

2 months = 4 shots











Kaylie turned 2 months old on May 22nd.
She had to get her immunizations. I was
not looking forward to this day. I am
ok with giving kids shots, but to see
my little Kaylie get 4 of them was so
sad!










This is after it was all said and
done. She cried so hard, she had
tears and was all hot and sweaty.
It was horrible. My pediatrician
is awesome (he's the one who gives
the shots) and made sure I was
ok with it all. She looked up at
me with the saddest eyes, wondering
why I was letting this happen to her.










Good thing she has lots of meat on
those thighs. She got 2 shots in
each thigh.










This is when we got home. She
slept a lot and just wanted her
mom. This was not a fun day :(

PICTURES!!


We had family pics done last week. It was quite the adventure! We had to stop half way through the session so I could feed her. She wasn't too sure about it all, but I think we got some decent ones,considering she didn't cooperate too well.













I wasn't sure where to get the pics done. There is a local photographer here in Price that we thought about going to. I had heard aot of good things about Kiddie Kandids, but just the drive up north, making sure Kaylie was fed and happy at the right time seemed like a huge hassle. Anyway, we decided to go to Kiddie Kandids and I'm so glad we did! They turned out so cute. It was so much fun!!

Cute babes!

We went up north and decided
Kaylie needed some new clothes
so we went to Old Navy and had
so much fun. I LOVE shopping for her.
There are so many cute girl clothes
I decided the weather was getting
warmer and we'd be hittin the wave
pool here in Price pretty soon, so I
found her a stinkin' cute bikini. She's
gonna be flaunting those rolls and I'm
so excited. I also bought her some cute
tank tops, capris and so much more.
We had a blast!
When we got home, I was cooking
dinner while Daniel took care of
Kaylie. I didn't hear them for
awhile, so I went to see what
they were up to. This is what I
found. They were crashed out
on the bed, enjoying the lovely
swamp cooler. I guess I wore
them out with all my shopping!

1st "real" smile :)


Wow what a cutie! The past few days Kaylie has been smiling in the mornings. This morning was her best smile. Daniel had just gotten her out of her crib (yes, she's still sleeping in her crib! Yay!) and was playing with her. I don't know how he managed to get a picture at the right time, but it's dang cute. She's starting to "coo" and is a lot more active with her arms and legs. She kicks her legs so much. I am beginning to think she's going to kick off all those rolls on her legs :)

Fun times



We had Kaylie blessed last Sunday. Both our families came. It was so awesome to have them there to support us.




We got Kaylie a pad to lay on with toys above her. She loves it! She's just starting to touch the toys and make them rattle. She will lay there for hours and just stare at them. She had played so hard, she fell asleep. It was so cute!


Kaylie had been sleeping in our in her bassinet since she was born.My pediatrician told me to keep her in there until she is 6 months old. But I would wake up everytime she made a noise. She likes to grunt and make all sorts of noises while she is sleeping, so Daniel and I weren't sleeping very good. So...we decided to just try putting her in her crib. The frist night, it was really sad. I felt so bad for her, being in there all alone! Her room is just across the hall from ours, so she's not too far. I just felt so bad! She did soooo good. She has a mobile on her crib. She totally loves it! It's got little jungle animals and it makes all sort of noises and has lights. So she is now officially sleeping in her own room. I hear about kids sleeping with their parents until they are toddlers, so I'm pretty excited we will not be one of them. We are all sleeping much better now. She's getting on really good, consistent schedule, which is awesome! I can't believe how big she's getting. By the way, last week I had her weighed and she weighs 10lb 8oz! She's almost gained 3 lbs
since she was born!!
