Miss Independent

My girl hit 2 months old on Tuesday and to say its going by so fast is an understatement.  She is so independent it's slightly ridiculous, it makes me sad but inside I know its great that she has her own personality! Honestly I am only useful for a couple things;

1. Milk Commas 
2. Diaper Duty
3. Taxi Service

You may be thinking wow dramatic much Brittany, but no I am not kidding! This chick has decided to take it upon herself to start sleeping in her room 6-8 hours a night wake up to eat and then goes right back to sleep (not complaining about that) and she puts herself to sleep most nights. What the... does she not like mom and baby snuggle time as much as mom does? 

Really this girl is a gem and I love her to pieces. We have so much fun at home and I am sad to start back to work in January but luckily I know she is in good hands and I am only T minus 2 minutes away. I am so grateful for my family and their willingness to serve me and this little lady! I know she is going to absolutely LOVE hanging out with them every day!

On her 2 month birthday we went and hiked Camelback Mountain with Kyle and Andrea. It was fun and she did so well!! There is something about the outdoors that this girl loves! Sometimes Gentry will be working outback pounding on stuff and we will just sit and watch and the noise doesn't even phase her, its nuts! 

I am pretty sure this girl is going to make it to the Olympics for gymnastics! Ok, maybe far fetched but totally possible! She has the strongest legs and is always moving! I absolutely love how active she is but really again where is the nice calm baby that loves to snuggle?!? Oh ya, I forgot we left that one at the hospital! 

Speaking of hospital, I totally forgot to tell this pretty funny story that I experienced in there.  My baby had pretty bad jaundice so sadly she was put under the lights over night and I thought my world was coming to an end. I had to hold back my tears because it made me so sad to see her lying there with something covering her eyes and her being alone for such a long time. I then snapped back into reality and realized hey its not that bad and some babies are worse off then mine. Anyways while I was sitting visiting my sweet little one I overheard this young mom say how discouraged she was because her baby wont nurse. I jokingly said its ok mine falls asleep so we both are having struggles. The Dr came in to check on her little boy and they were scheduling when to do his circumcision and she asked if at that time she would like to schedule to get his extra finger removed!! Haha this boy had an extra finger, how awesome is that?!? The mom said man I have no idea where this boy came from he has B+ blood type, he hates my food I try to give him, and he has an extra finger! Its a good thing she could laugh about it even though I could tell she was having a hard time. 

Anyways thats about all I have to share, well besides these cute pictures


Her face is priceless in this picture!

7 weeks and a day

Being a mom is some hard work! Granted I do sleep a lot because I think she got my love of taking snoozes but one thing I would like to think she DIDN'T get from me is her case of the dramatics! Oh my, if you don't believe me take her for a couple hours while she isn't sleeping and you will have an instant change of heart! I must admit she is doing a lot better but she still feels the need to be held at all times, I blame those who don't believe in putting her down.... Slowly she is beginning to like her toys, thank goodness! We have swing time, floor time which during floor time she skoots.. ya my baby is wicked strong be jealous or don't be because you can probably leave your child unattended and know they will be in the same spot you left them and I can't. We also found that she hates the bath and LOVES the shower, she goes into an instant milk comma after eating, and giggles and laughs all the time now! I sure love this girly and am grateful I have this little family of mine!
