Four Months




Hannah! You are four months old!! I cannot believe how fast it has gone by. I still vividly remember being happily pregnant with you. Now we have had you for these four months and we wouldn't trade it for anything!

I am thinking you weigh around 18 pounds and will guess that you are about 27 inches long. We go to the doctor on Thursday and will know for sure.

You are an eating champ! You nurse in the morning, take 3 6 1/2 ounce bottles during the day every 3 1/2 hours, nurse in the evening and some bottle to top you off before bed. You aren't excited about nursing anymore and get mad if it isn't coming fast enough!

You wear size 2 diapers and we are transitioning to size 3. You wear 3-6 month clothes.

This month you have stopped being swaddled and are now on a sleeping schedule. You go to sleep at 7:30, wake up usually once a night but go back to sleep. You normally wake up between 5-6 to eat but I make you wait until 6:30. You will start cereal this week!!!

This past month you had your first ambulance ride, short stay in hospital, and first breathing treatments. You had RSV for the 2nd time. You were a sick baby girl but you are all better now except for a stuffy nose that you seem to have constantly no matter what I do!

Mommy has been obsessed with buying you clothes and has bought you so many smocked outfits lately!!! I just cant get enough of the bubbles!!! Can't wait for spring/summer!!!

You are my 3rd baby girl but I love you just the same as my other two!!! Your smile and giggles make my day complete and I love your sweet snuggles! You are a challenge and very high maintenance but I need someone to keep me on my toes and you have deemed that your responsibility! :) I love you Hannah Grace and I will always!!

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
