Don't we make pretty babies???

I really don't have much to say today except "Don't Tony and I make some pretty babies?" Check out our baby girl sporting a mohawk. Love her.

2 month check up

Today Audrey had her 2 month check up and she did really well. She weighs 11lb 4.5oz and is 23 inches long. Her head is 16 inches around. She is going to be brilliant with a brain that big. I took the rest of the day off and played with her all day. She is so much fun these days. The Pediatrician said I need to try to get her to face her right more often because she is developing a slight slant on her head. I will definitely work on that but at least she has hair to cover up her misshapen head if I can't fix the problem.

Ready for her Dr. visit

Cute little smirk.

2 months (and 1 day) old

Audrey was 2 months old yesterday. She is growing up so fast. My mom came to visit this weekend and we had a great time. She couldn't believe how much Audrey has grown since her last visit. She really has changed a lot and I don't notice as much because I am with her every day. Her hair is much lighter and longer, she now has some really cute rolls, she can let you know what she wants without crying, and she laughs out loud (that is the best one). She has always been cute but she seems to get cuter everyday. I think that she is going to be a ninja when she grows up because she is always kicking. She might have to be a kick boxer instead though because she already talks way too much to be stealth. Tomorrow she has her 2 month check up and we get to see her normal pediatrician for the first time. I am excited to see how much she weighs now and how long she is. She is graduating to the next size in diapers on her next pack and pretty soon she will have to switch to 3-6 month clothes. She is already too long for her 0-3 month footed clothes. I think I am going to try to make Audrey a quilt out of all her memorable clothes. It will be quite the undertaking but I am ready for the challenge and I think it will be a great keepsake for her later in life. Here she is looking cute in her 1st Cav onesie.

Love the teacher, hate her fashion sense.

Audrey's daycare teacher Ms. Nuemi (no idea how to say it) is wonderful. She sings songs, reads stories, does tummy time, baby massage, and all sorts of exciting things. She never just sticks the kids in a swing or the bouncy seat. Every time I go in there there is a fun activity going on. I love her. Plus she washes all of Audrey's bottles and sterilizes them in the steamer when they are empty which definitely helps with my nighttime routine. There is just one problem, she dresses my child like a dweeb. I always send her in something cute but she is her father's child and always gets messy. You would think this wouldn't be a problem because Audrey has 2 back up outfits there to change into. But Ms. Nuemi doesn't match the tops with the bottoms. Today my child came home in this lovely ensemble:

Notice how well the patterns coordinate. She had the bib on too. Also, see how she is rocking the Urkel pants? That is how Ms. Nuemi likes them. Even if she remains her original cute outfit, her pants are jacked up to her armpits. Today we had to come home and change before going to the the PX. I couldn't let my baby go out like that. From now on I will have to remember to pack an outfit for my baby just in case. The bad part is that once these fashion errors occur, she is left with an equally unfashionable outfit at school. I guess from now on its one pieces only or I will only send one outfit at a time. Oh well, I guess I should consider myself lucky that that is all I have to complain about.
Pictures from yesterday:

The hardest day as mommy yet.

Yesterday was a horrible day. I was sick! I mean really sick. I had the worst stomach virus I have ever had in my entire life. Audrey was scheduled to start daycare yesterday so since I felt so bad and I didn't want her to get sick I went ahead and took her. Her teacher is very nice and I felt very comfortable leaving her there. I got home from dropping her off and got even sicker. I was panicking because I knew that I couldn't take care of her like I was. I decided to let her go spend the night with my boss, Sheryl. When I picked her up at daycare they said she didn't cry the entire day and ate like a champ. She seemed very happy. I took her to my work and dropped her off with Sheryl and went home to go to bed. At 7 Sheryl called and said that Audrey was having an allergic reaction. Apparently she is allergic to cats, like her daddy. Sheryl brought her home. Luckily we were both doing much better by the time she got to the house. Sheryl stayed until it was almost time for Audrey to go to bed and things went fine after that. I am feeling so much better today. I still haven't attempted to eat anything but I don't have a fever anymore and my stomach seems to be settled. I was so hard leaving her at daycare for the first time and thinking about spending an entire night without her. I don't know how Tony does it. He is the strongest man I know.

A happy baby

Audrey is such a happy baby! I am so thankful. She smiles and squeals constantly. It is so cute. She is almost never fussy.
Tomorrow she is going to daycare. I am currently debating on how much milk to send with her. I have tons in the freezer but I have no idea how much she eats. I guess they can always call me if she runs out. I am only 3 minutes away.
I got a chest freezer on Friday and I am planning on stockpiling the breast milk. I have been pumping after Audrey eats every time and my supply is already going up. I am having to drink tons of water though because it is making my skin really dry.
Gotta run. It's time for the big game. Audrey and I are going to watch it together.

I fed her and she fell asleep. I put her in her crib and she woke up and started playing.

She had a big time.

See..

After going back to sleep with mommy. She is waking up again.

See Tony... she looks like you.

My big girl

I haven't written in a few days but most of my readers have been without power anyways. First, I hope everyone in NWA is safe and sound after the ice storm. From what I hear and the pictures I see it was a doozy.
Second, Audrey is getting so grown up. She has been sleeping in her own bed every night (except for the night it was too cold in her room). And she even puts herself to sleep some. She lays in her crib jabbering until she falls asleep. It is so cute to hear her talk and she does it constantly. I am afraid that she is going to be chatty like her momma. Tony is never going to get any peace. On the night she slept with me I woke up to her pushing off my chest with her legs and grunting. I looked to see what she was doing and she had pushed herself to her paci, put her mouth on top of it and pushed it in. I think the child might be a genius.
On Monday she is starting daycare. I am not sure if she will be going full time but I am definitely taking her Monday. I am already a little sad about it but I think we are both ready. We will see.
I love you all and I don't have any pictures. My camera battery has been dead for the last few days.

More pictures for today...

Doesn't she look so grown up in her jeans?

Fun on the floor. See how light her hair is getting.

Tummy time. She isn't really a fan but it makes her more determined to roll over. I think she will get it soon.

More fun times after I flipped her back over.

My sweet angel.

Baby pic comparison.

Okay so I have said all along that Audrey is a cute version of me when I was a baby. You be the judge. Audrey has more meat on her and her head isn't nearly so big but she does look a lot like me. Thank goodness she got Tony's cute genes.
