She smiles

I haven't gotten a picture yet because every time she does it I don't think to get the camera I just think to snuggle her!!

Charlee is smiling and not only when she has gas. She has a little grin that melts this mama's heart.

She also had a great night of sleeping last night, she went to bed about 9 and slept until 5, then back to bed and we had to wake her up at 9... we thought 12 hours of sleep was plenty!

Stay warm!

Great Thanksgiving!

Charlee had a great first thanksgivng!! We watched the parade and then celebrated with a big dinner at Mimi and Grandpa's.

Today we went out for pancakes, did a little black Friday shopping and cut down our Christmas tree and decorated the house for Christmas.

Charlee is doing GREAT!! On Thursday night she slept from 8:30 to 4:45. This week we have really been working on getting her to bed before 9, so that she will be ready to wake up around 7. So far its going pretty good.

Charlee is also doing a REALLY good job of holding her head up and looking around. She is loving all of the Christmas lights and enjoyed watching us decorate the tree today.

Hope that you have a great weekend!

Can you believe it???

Charlee is already a month old!! She had a great day today. It started out with her sleeping in her own bed last night, she did a great job!!


Then this morning she got to snuggle with Mimi for awhile and then this afternoon she had a play date with her sister, Marlee, Maddie and Olivia. Charlee took advantage of lots of snuggling.

Tonight we are just hanging out at home. Charlee has the hicups right now, which is a very common occurance.

Right now Charlee is eating about 3 ounces at a time and during the day eating about every two hours. She is much more awake in the morning and the afternoons seem to be her lazy time. She does a good job of staying awake in the evening and has had a couple of nights where she has slept from about 11 to 5.  She is a GREAT baby!! So much fun!

Hope that you are having a great weekend!

GROWTH spurt!!

Charlee is going through a major growth that includes eating about 4 ounces every two hours and not really sleeping. At the rate she is going she is going to be 20 pounds at her two month check up:)

Other then the major growing going on, all is going really well!!

Hope you are having a great week!

Great weekend!

Hello!!

We had a great weekend. Charlee is doing great. She had a busy weekend of watching her big sister go to her first dance class, and then headed to Mimi and Grandpa's and also got a visit from Papa John and Mary.

On Sunday we went to church, so far Charlee isn't a fan of church, I don't think I have listened to a sermon since she was born, she just doesn't want to sit and listen yet:) Then we played with Livi and Will Primrose and had a great Sunday.

Charlee is doing great, growing and wiggling and learning every day! What a blessing!!

All is well!!!

Hello!! Charlee is welcoming you to the blog by waving to you!!

We are doing well! Charlee is growing like a weed, which is good and just want she should be doing!!

And again...

Charlee rolled over again today. She isn't mad when she does she just does it and then is so happy to be on her back. This little lady is going to keep me on my toes, love it!!

little mile stones

Today we had a couple of small milestones that I don't want to forget about so I thought I would write about them here, really more so for me that anyone else. Thanks for listening:)

Today Charlee's cord fell off, for a split second it made me sad. It like its the first step of her not being an infant any more and it seems like just yesterday that she was born. I now understand how fast they grow up and it makes me sad to think she is already growing up. Charlee is two weeks old today.

Also today while we were doing our "exercises" that's what big sister Zoe calls tummy time and of course she has "exercises" from tumbling that her and I need to do, Charlee rolled over. It was a very calm controlled roll unlike last time she did it when she was just mad.

We had a great day. Jake went back to work today and Zoe went to day care in the morning and then in the afternoon it was just us girls!! Very fun!!

The Girls

Tonight we spent some time snuggling!! One of my favorite things to do!! So lucky that these two little girls are so SWEET!!

Doing great!!

So we had our first crazy parent moment last night and then again this morning and decided to take Charlee to the doctor. We thought her breathing seemed shallow at times and she was doing this strange gasping thing that she hadn't been doing before. So we took her into the doctor this morning and she is doing great!! The breathing thing is totally normally and we are crazy parents:)  She is three days shy of two weeks old and about an two ounces short of her birth weight, so that is great. The last two nights she has slept from about 9:30 to 5, which is also great. She is a great eater, and sleeper and also tolerant of all of the  Zoey shenanigans:)

She loves to sit her swing and watch all of the action. She doesn't so much like to be wrapped up in blankets. Jake did catch her sucking her thumb the other day, but typically she loves her pacifier.

We have been so blessed with another angel in our lives!!

Hope all is well!
