Team Enterline

4 years ago today I joined Team Enterline in a small backyard wedding. The week before we moved into our new house and hours before we said I Do. We were hooking up our new fridge. Nicholas had to go under the house to hook up the water and I was behind the fridge waiting for him to give me the go ahead to turn it on. It sounds weird but that's one of my favorite memories from that day.

I am so happy that we ended up together. I love Nicholas so much for being a rad husband and an amazing father.

Jammie Day



Yesterdays after we got home from the doctor the pain from the shots set in.  Poor little B screamed for hours, she would only calm down when I was holding her.  After that tramatic day I decided today would be jammie day.  We spent the whole day relaxing and playing.  We watched Yo Gabba Gabba, played with toys, did tummy time, read two books, and worked on hand eye coordination.  Baines had so much fun she passed out for a long nap.

8 Weeks

We just got home from Baines' check up with the doctor. We couldn't wait to find out her stats and make sure she's growing properly. She is now 10 lbs and 5 oz. which puts her in 50% for her age. She is also 23 inches long. That is 75% for her age. I was worried that she was gaining too much weight especially in those adorable chubby checks! Everything else looked good, he checked her out and said she is grow just right. He said she had a really sweet disposition. She was acting so sweet while we were there. She was smiling like crazy and having good time. That is until she had to get 4 shots. Poor little thing scream bloody murder. It broke my heart! Being a mom is so hard. I never want anything to happen to this sweet little face.

















Its so strange how being a mother can be so wonderful even with all the stress. Everything seems to be a blur since I had her. The things that I thought really mattered no longer make any sense. I never really wanted to be a mother and honestly never thought I could. I didn't think I was capable of loving someone so unconditionally and I was surprised how naturally it came to me. Just like that I would give up anything for her. She makes every day amazing.

















She makes the funniest faces and I love them all!

Baby Me

I've been wanting to compare Baines to me as a baby, so my mom took a picture of this one (hence the flash). She said I'm 3 months here. I can't believe how much hair I have. Its about double what B does. Everyone keeps saying how she got that from Nicholas but I think it came from me. Her eye color looks just like mine so I think we'll have a grey/hazel eyed baby.

6 Weeks

Last week I decided that I had enough of my party animal baby. I'm not 18 years old, I cant stay up all night and sleep all day. I had to explain to Baines that I need to be a responsible adult and make some use of myself during the day. Otherwise this next month will fly by and I'll be back at work and more exhausted than ever.

We have been working with B to get on a schedule and thank God it has worked! (knock on wood). We've been trying hard to keep her awake during the day as much as possible and setting nap times. Its been really hard at times because she just passes out. This baby really LOVES to sleep. I could bang a pan next to her and it wouldn't wake her up, which is a good and bad thing. But all our hard work has been paying off. she's going to sleep at 10 and waking up at 2:30 or 3 to eat then right back to sleep till around 6. After that we usually get out of bed at 9:00 for a daily activity. Its nice to get out of the house with her and she's usually a good baby because of all her sleep. I am going to try and keep this schedule up and hopefully we can get her sleeping through the night. Because that would be AWESOME!

Also one of the best changes is B is smiling, it makes it all worth it! She has the cutest fat kid smile. She gets so excited she starts laughing too. Nicholas can always get her laughing but as soon as I pull out the camera she stops, of course. Here is a video of her smiling. She loves it when you touch her face. She thinks its really funny.
