Dad's First Time

Dads going out of town for a week tomorrow & so he decided he was going to spend the whole day with his little girl while I cleaned the house! :) Well keeping you ment feeding you so heres a picture:

4 Weeks

Today marks 4 weeks, wow I can't believe it (I think I start each post off like this but really it's hard to believe)! You are sooo much more aware now days, you like to talk to us! You are eating every 2.5-3 hours & now you've conquered a bottle! :) At first bottles were tough b/c I didn't know how much to give you but 4oz usually does the trick...I think if you could have more you would definitely eat it but you would be miserably full! Your acid reflux medicine seems to have done the trick for the most part but when we need an extra something your favorite thing in the world does the trick...Mylicon! I'm not sure what we would do without this stuff, its like candy to you!! You also started sleeping in your own crib and you love it, we both sleep a lot better! Dad had to wake me up once b/c he heard you crying & I didn't b/c I went to sleep with the monitor in my hand and was laying on it! It cracks me up how much you love to lay on your changing table and just stare at the tree on your wall, I'm so glad you love your room! Meme has to watch you this week for 3 days b/c I have to go back to work for a few hours : / I sure hope you are a sweet girl! Dad is going out of town for the first time as well...I'm pretty nervous about this! :( I can't wait to see what changes you will have made when he gets back in town next week!

First Bottle

Tonight we went to MeMe's and you took your first bottle, you did really well!! We have to work on you eating slower but for the most part you did great, you're such a smart little girl!

First Bath

We are all set...ducky and all!!

Here we go...."Momma what in the heck are you doing to me?"



Look at her little Mohawk!!!!

Paisley had her first big girl bath today! :) Finally her umbilical cord came off and it stopped oozing enough that we felt comfortable to go for the splash! She loved it! I thought she was going to cry but she did so good!! I was so nervous to do this alone but it needed to be done so I said what the heck while Joseph was at work! :) I her little mohawk, can't wait to watch it grow, she is growing too fast! I'm sure bath time will be a favorite for here on out! I can't wait to cuddle with my fresh & so clean little angel!

3 Weeks Old

Paisley is now 3 weeks old, one more week and she will be a month old...seems to be going by so fast!

Sunday was a big day for Paisley, her umbilical cord finally fell off!! Now she can get a bath like a big girl instead of just a wash rag bath. (Pictures to come soon)

I'm late writing this (2 days) but today we went to the doctor and my sweet girl is now 10 lbs!!! She is eating every 3 hours sometimes sooner... like 45 min after she ate...no wonder she's 10 lbs! Unfortunately the reason we had to go to the doctor is b/c shes been getting very upset after eating, just screaming like it HURT so we knew something was not right. So we took her to Dr.McGrann (who i absolutely love) and turns out she has Acid Reflux...so thankfully she got some prev acid that we will try for the first time in a few hours hopefully she will have some relief. She is still wearing newborn diapers however I'm pretty sure after this box we will be moving on to ones b/c some of her newborn outfits don't fit. I'm excited she has sooo many cute 0-3 month outfits, haha! She is so strong she has always held her head up, but now she can hold it up for minutes at a time, it amazes me! She really likes time in her swing & is awake more often and likes to check out whats going on. The dogs are so protective of her, however Bayleigh keeps stealing pacifiers we have already thrown 2 away. Sleeping is different night to night, I don't want to speak too soon but I think she's learning to sleep more during the night. Some of the cute things she does:

Grunts, squirms, and makes horse noises when she's waking up or is hungry.

When Joseph walks in the door from work and talks to her she just looks at him...even if in mid cry, she's already a Daddy's Girl.

Smiles in her sleep & occasionally when we are talking to her.

So many other things that just slipped my mind!

2 Weeks

Wow, 2 weeks already! Today was a hard day b/c Daddy had to go back to work, and to top it off Paisley did not sleep much last night. She eats every 3 hours on the dot, sometimes she will be and hour or so off. For the most part shes a very happy baby! Her eyes are startng to really lighten up, I think she will have blue eyes! From day to day she changes so much...I think she is starting to look more and more like Joseph. :)

Paisley's First Doctors Appointment

We had Paisley's first doctors appointment on Friday May 13th. She got a clean bill of health thankfully! Poor baby had to get the PKU again...she did NOT like it! She is definitely eating well she was 11 days old and weighs 8lbs 13oz and is 21 1/4 in long! After her appointment we did some shopping in Pearland, it was soooo nice to get out of the house! :)
