Crib

Up until last week we were a co sleeping family. By we, I mean Nicholas, Baines, Macie, Bugita and I in a king size bed. I love falling asleep with Baines next to me and waking up to her smiling face. It made feedings really easy too since I didn't even have to get out of bed. From the day we brought her home we established boundaries for the dogs. We put Baines on one of her small blankets and the dogs knew they could not go near. So we never had and issue. It has worked out really well for us.

We would still be co sleeping every night but Baines started taking up more room and I as afraid as she got bigger we would squash her. So we thought now was the best time to transition into the crib. Nana and Papa Enterline bought Baines this awesome crib. We put it up about a week ago and the transition has gone great. She's slept in the crib every night since then. She only wakes up 1 or 2 times to eat. I feed her and then its back to the crib. Its still really easy because she's in our room. I was surprised how well she adjusted but I shouldn't be because she's such an easy going baby!

A roof over our head

I have been a little down lately, wishing things were different. I wish we had a finished house, that Baines had her own room, that we have enough money (to do the previous), that I didn’t have to leave B everyday to work, and that the house would clean itself. It’s really easy to start feeling this way when I get overwhelmed. I have to keep telling myself to stay positive, that these things are just temporary. I need to remember how lucky I really am, I have a roof over my head, a warm bed, a beautiful baby and a husband that loves us unconditionally. Nicholas has put in so many hours to build us a beautiful home. I know I don’t show my appreciation enough. He is working so hard to make our dream come true. On top of that he is an extremely helpful husband. I’ve had a hard time balancing my time with B and the housework. He has really stepped up and covered where I couldn’t.

I’ve been repeating in my head “At least I have a roof over my head” and yesterday, Nicholas and his father finished hanging the joists for the addition. So my roof is getting bigger. :-)

Seriously! I have the cutest baby in the world!!!

Just when you think she couldn't get any cuter... she does this! This is the first time she has laughed like this. I love technology since we can capture these moments.

3 Months Old

Little B is 3 Months old today. She is such a cool little person and we’re falling in love with her more and more everyday. Honestly I can’t get enough of her. We love watching her learn and try things for the first time. She has almost mastered rolling from her back to her stomach. Visa Versa is a lot harder! Her hand eye coordination is getting better too. When you hold a toy out in front of her she can reach out for it and hold on. Play time is really fun!

Since the car seat is not her favorite we put her in the Bjorn whenever we go walking around. She loves it! She looks side to side taking in all her surroundings. She is such a weirdo because she licks the side constantly. I guess it must taste good? She does it so much that the sides are soaked with spit. Last night we were at Trader Joes and Nicholas got a video. Look how big the drool spot is!!!

Balding Baby



You can tell in this picture that she has lost more than half of her hair.  We can see that the new growth is going to be blonde.  Its crazy how fast they change over such a short period of time.
