Day to Day entry November 29th...

Today's post is mostly for Mommy...
I had a really good day yesterday spending it with you... Yesterday was the first day that you were really, I mean REALLY cuddly. I think part of it is that you don't feel good but when I would pick you up you would nuzzle your little nose right into the crock of my neck and wrap your little arms around my neck. I spent most of the day snuggling up with you. You have your first cough and your sad little face after you cough when you look at me it melts my heart. You just look at me like why am I doing that and why does it hurt. You also have a pretty bad diaper rash, I think this sickness that you have combined with the new formula is not 100% sitting well with your little tummy. You have little sores that we are trying to keep diaper rash cream/athlete's foot cream mixture on to help you feel better. Last night you just whimpered for a little while as Daddy cuddled with you in his "Papa Bear chair" as he so cutely put it :) We let you play on the floor with towels around you naked for a little while. You started to get a little cold so we wrapped you back up. We did your usual bedtime routine and you were going to sleep fine until I put you down in your crib then you had another blow out. I changed you and then you didn't want me to put you down for at least another 30 minutes. You looked up at me from your crib with a look I couldn't resist. We rocked until you fell asleep.
Today you are being cuddly still but I think you are getting better. Your diaper rash looks like it is getting better. You love your changing pad in your room if you are upset we just have to take you in there and play with you with a pink feather that I have purchased to make you a hair bow but it works to tickle you and entertain you for now :)
You helped me do laundry for the first time yesterday :) It was pretty cute. You didn't know what to think of the baskets at first but then you realized that the sheets your were sitting in were warm and you scooped them up in your little hands and you put the corner straight in your mouth and started making all sorts of little growls and grunts it was really cute.

So we woke up to your happy face today again. You are so happy in the morning and it is so fun to get you up. We wanted to get out of the house so we got you dressed up and went into Logan. We did a little shopping while you slept and then we picked up lunch for us and your Aunt Lori and we went and visited. You only really get fussy if you have a air bubble or you are hungry or really tired. You have been really good today. We took some really cute pictures of you in your new little outfit and headband.







You are so adorable. We had to take some pictures of your happiness today.

You are getting your first cold, we think. You have started to cough a lot and it sounds really gunky. You are also not liking the coughing you cough multiple times and then make a little annoyed sigh and pull a upset face. It is really said. It looks like the coughing hurts you start to cry a little sad cry. Hopefully you get better soon.

So we have started you on a new formula and we think it is helping you a lot. You have been napping better during the day and you are also sleeping better at night. The past few nights you have slept 8-9 hours. Thanksgiving morning you slept for 9 hours for the first time through the night. I woke up at 6:30am and panicked...I ran into your room and touched your nose to make sure you were breathing...you were fine :) It's nice to be able to get some sleep especially knowing that you are doing good. Today we decided to go visit your uncle Linsey in Morgan and we tried to stop in Riverdale at the Target and it was a mad house for Black Friday. We decided to go back and found some good deals on clothes for you :) We went and visited Grandma Charlton yesterday and you were really good for her she was so happy that the formula is working and you are happy after you eat and aren't as fussy anymore. Good thinking Grandma! :)

I'm grateful for a healthy family and a beautiful baby girl that is adorable :)



This has to be the cutest thing she has done so far!! I can't get enough of this video or this little girl!!

Or and here is another one of her cute giggle!

Day to Day entry November 23rd...

We haven't really had that much of an eventful few days. Daddy had his birthday yesterday and we just stayed home and chilled. You slept a lot today. We have switched you to Nutramegyn formula to see if it helps you to not be so fussy. We will see how that goes in the next few weeks. It is pretty expensive so if it works it works and we will stick with it.
You like your bouncy chair and you love the little hanging toys. The monkey is your favorite! It is so cute to watch you smile at it and also talk to it.

Day to Day entry November 21st...

Friday we had a chill day because it was snowing most of the day. It was a good day you were a little bit fussy but not to bad. Daddy decided to move the TV downstairs so we could utilize the whole house. It is a little weird because it is so quiet upstairs but it is nice to have a little family room downstairs and I can spend time with him while I try and get caught up with your scrapbook from birth until now...which means yes I'm officially 3 months behind. You were officially 3 months old on Saturday. Time has flown by it seems like only a few days ago that I was pregnant with you kicking inside of me. Saturday we went and celebrated your Dad's 40th birthday at Red Lobster the whole family was there that could be. It was really nice. I tried to keep it a surprise but your cousins Kelich and Kinsley gave it away :) Kelich said your going to dinner with my mom and dad to Red Lobster tonight aren't you. Daddy had no idea until then, Kinsley said happy birthday and Daddy said not until Tuesday and she said nope it's today. So Daddy new something was going on. Ha Ha Ha. I tried.
Sunday we went to church and Mommy taught her lesson in YWs while Daddy watched you. Then we just hung out while you were being really fussy fighting sleep. We are going to try and get you to nap during the day more. You take 10-20 min power naps and they are just not cutting it.
Today Mommy had a birthday party to go to for a coworker so we went to visit all Mommy's friends at work. You were pretty good and everybody thought you were the cutest thing ever!! Which of course you are. :)
P.S. Tucker shook off in front of you and you happened to be watching and you let out the cutest biggest giggle so far. To bad Tucker can't do that on Que! :(

Day to Day entry November 16th...

So we went to visit your great grandma Young today. You have had a few days of being really fussy and wanting to be held all the time. Dad and I have been trying to figure out what has changed. Any other mom that I talk to has told me the same thing, she is a baby and she is just at that age. I hope you get through this "age" soon. You have your moments of being really sweet and then really ornery. You just don't want to miss anything so you fight sleeping during the day so by 5pm you are pretty fussy unless we are holding you. Great Grandma was really good with you she said she would spoil you to much if she had you everyday because she wouldn't ever put you down. You love your Great Grandma. She had you smiling and acting so cute.









Grandma did your hair to :) So cute!

Day to Day entry November 13th... Good Morning!!

I love getting this little one up in the morning she is all smiles and so ready to get out of her swaddler. It is adorable. She gets sooo excited!



Gotta love the little moments that make it so worth it!





Intently watching Daddy entertain me :)

Day to Day entry November 12th...

I have been chilling with my little missy for the past few days and haven't really been on the computer so I will give a brief update.
Wednesday we went out to my friend Phelicia's to get mommy's hair cut. You did so good you slept the whole time. You liked the sound of the hair dryer I think. Daddy got home from work and watched you while I went to dinner with my friend Christy and her son Braxton. Yesterday you helped me make Pretzel bits covered in Parmesan cheese and also cinnamon and sugar. They were yummy. I found the recipe on Pinterest, one of my favorite websites right now. I love the fact that it's a virtual bulletin board to keep track of all my likes :)
Thursday we hung out at home and just watched "Bones" I found this whole series on Netflix and am hooked right now. You seem to like it to when your in my lap you enjoy watching it with me. You are starting to like your me time to just chill and talk to your toys and just look at all your surroundings.
Friday we went and visited your cousin Daysha while your daddy went hunting with her husband Adam. She made us homemade Broccoli cheese soup and you were so cute. You cracked a few really big smiles for her. I haven't taken any pictures I'll have to do that again. We are starting to be able to distinguish between your cries, when your ornery, when your tired, when your hungry, or when your just being a brat ha ha ha. You know what you want and you let us know your not happy until we figure it out. We need to get you a onesy that says I'm diva and I know it in rhinestone letters or something... That would fit you perfect.

Today we went to the JJ Cole Warehouse sale and got you a bundler for your car seat to keep you warm this winter and also a few things for your room for really good deals. We went and walked around the mall for a little bit to, to get out of the house. We had the 2nd snowstorm of the season today that left about an inch of snow on the ground. You gave daddy a really big giggle he said when he was playing with you in your room. I missed it though :( I know there will be lots of others like it :)
I'm going to try and document the delivery and everything from the day you came into our lives so that I have it written down somewhere for you to read when you get older :)

I LOVE YOU!!!

Day to Day entry November 6th...

Just another lazy Sunday :)

Day to Day entry November 5th...

Today was the opening of the pheasant hunt and the first snowfall of the season. We road down with Daddy to Ogden and visited G&G Hendrix and Aunt Jayci while your dad went hunting with your uncle Layne your cousins Chandler, Caden, Kelich.
These pics are of the canyon and the snow. It was a pretty drive down.






We spent most of the day hanging out with your cousins Xander, Ennovy and Seeley you were being so good we got home and you wanted to be held and snuggle. Daddy was handing you to me letting you stretch your legs and sort of walk it was cute.



Here is a video of your being a little miss diva and wanted to be picked up by Daddy



She is so cute and such a little stinker when she knows what she wants!!

Day to Day entry November 4th...

Today was supposed to be a big snow day. It didn't start snowing until late in the evening. So we were chilling in the house for the day. You were being really cute so I took a few pictures to mark your 2 months :)




I just want to eat those cheeks... ;) I do everyday!! ha ha ha!







You also discovered the mirror today. It was cute you made some funny faces...

Day to Day entry November 3rd...

Today we went and ran errands after doing laundry and working on things at the house. We got home from running errands and Daddy was home and he needed to go help your uncle Ladd with his house. So we went and visited G & G Hendrix and by the time we got home you were being really ornery. We have a nightly routine that we start at about 9:30 every night so that you will sleep better. It starts with a bath and then daddy feeds you and then I swaddle you and put you to bed. Tonight you were being really fussy at about 8:30 so we were trying different things to stop you from crying. See video below. This one really worked... I guess you being upside down in my belly for almost 2 months was something that you enjoyed. When daddy would lay you back down you would grin from ear to ear!! It was funny.

Day to Day entry October 31st.. Happy Halloween!

I need to share what we did yesterday briefly. We had Stake(regional) Conference that was broadcast at our stake house and we were able to listen to general authorities and also our Prophet Thomas S. Monson. It was amazing. We had to take you out a few times because you got restless. You have made a little friend. Karly Souter. She is the Relief Society presidents daughter and my Visiting Teacher Jenny. She loves to help burp you and feed you and buckle you in your carseat she is adorable.

So for Halloween we spent the day making Caramel Apple Oatmeal cookies to take to Aunt Katie's house for dinner. We left the house after Daddy got home from work and went to visit G&G Charlton and G&G Hendrix came to see you in your costume as well. We dressed you up as a little flower and I was the gardener. It was pretty cute. G&G Hendrix suggested your Daddy go as the Fertilizer ;) ha ha ha! It was really cute! We also went to the Ward Halloween party!





OH OH MAJOR SIDE NOTE!!!

We put you in your own room in your CRIB!!! On Saturday night and you did awesome! Mommy not so much... but I did sleep so that was good. I thought about sleeping on the floor in the room with you but I held back. You've slept there for 3 nights now and have done amazing. You sleep between 4-5 hours at a time and wake up for a bottle and go right back to sleep for at least 3 hours. We can't complain :)

Day to Day entry October 29th...

We had a good Saturday just chilled at home for most of the day. We decided to try and take in a movie in the evening. Lonnie's sister Lori watched Miss Kennadee for us. She said you were a good girl. I'm glad that I can feel comfortable leaving you for a few hours with someone to go out with Daddy.


Just Chillin!

She can't decide if she loves her swing at times or hates it. :0) lol!
