A little taste

Since the little one keeps eyeing everyone's food I thought I would try her on some mashed potatoes. Boy did she love them. But in all fairness I only gave her a finger tip full. This makes me way excited to try her on solid food soon. Month 5 I am waiting.

I also wanted to pierce her ears but the place requires her immunization record and I can't find it. I turned the house upside down looking for it and it's nowhere to be had. This makes me think that perhaps the nurse did not return them to me. That saddens me as it was the one the hospital gave and now it may be lost forever.

P.S. I originally wrote this blog on 18 January but I guess I forgot to post it. So here it is

Shaelynn's Milestones

Since most of my family and friends live away from me, I thought it would be nice to fill everyone in on her milestones. I can't believe she's 3 months old already.

She has begun to sit up on her own. The first time she sat up alone was for about 5 seconds and then she toppled over on the couch - face first. You should have seen her face as she was going down - the funniest thing I have seen in a long while.

She has had her first set of shots. And I being the ever so smart mother that I am, forgot to give her some Tylenol before and after. When the pain hit her, I felt so guilty. Trust me I won't forget this next time.

She pushed herself up on her arms while on her tummy. The view from down on the ground makes everything seems so huge.

She is staring at her feet - when they are not in socks or footie outfits. I am interested to see her put it in her mouth.

She has begun to grab for things ... I have the scratches to prove it. Her nails grow like a weed and are very sharp!!!!

She has definitely begun to interact with people ... she even talks to the puppets on the Baby dvd she likes to watch.

Overall she is a very happy baby - she wakes and smiles and after her bottle she is ready to jabber away with everyone around her. My only wish is for her sleep all night in her crib. She loves to sleep with me or big sister in our beds, now if she could just transfer that to her own bed, things would be absolutely perfect.

Oh and be aware that if she flips you off, it's nothing she's been taught - it just comes naturally, in fact I remember her doing that the first few days of her life.

I will post 3 month pics soon and you can see how much she's grown.

New Year - New Goals

So with two weeks into the new year have you already done something other than what your goal is? Unfortunately I have to say I have .... but I have a good reason. Don't we all say that?



My goal was to only spend money on what I had listed in my planner ... well I didn't do that. I actually went and bought clothes for the baby. But I found a great deal - I love KSL. For only $50 I received two huge garbage bag full of cute clothes (some of them weren't even worn!!!!) And as the baby is needing clothes, I can justify the money as well spent. I will have to place a little fashion show on here so you can all agree with me it was well worth it.



But of course I can't leave this without posting a pic of one of the cute ones .... Now you can Awwww
