Week 7

This week we started to dress Mila in her 0-3 month clothes.  They are a little big on her but it's nice to have more options, I was getting sick of the newborn clothes (plus a lot of them are starting to get a lil tight); the same pieces have been in rotation for 6 weeks. She was all, Mom! Get me some new clothes! Good thing she had a closet full of them!  She also hit her 6 week growth spurt and spent a lot of time eating and sleeping.

Praise the Lord!

Mila and I met Danielle, her son Matthew, Rocio and Jade at Ra Sushi on Thursday for a Hyatt girls happy hour.  It was nice to have a girls (+ 1 boy) happy hour and catch up.  Matthew was born 4 days before Mila so it was fun to compare notes.



Chillin out, relaxin, maxin all cool

My old roommate, Jenna (Auntie Ping), came over for a sleepover on Friday night to help take care of Mila, which was a nice lil break for me. There was lots of catching up and Mila snugs.



I have some nursery rhyme CDs that I put on for Mila this week that she absolutely loved.  She'll Be Comin Round the Mountain is her current favorite (Apples & Bananas is mine in case you were wondering).

I know, baby, we love living here too

Robert's parents came in town on Saturday and stayed until Monday since Robert's mom had it off for Veterans Day. That was a HUGE help to have them around because I got really important things done, like showering and grocery shopping (no corn dogs and coffee for breakfast this week for this girl!).  You have so much help at the beginning when the baby is new but then there aren't as many people in town anymore so it's nice when you have people come visit, especially when it's Grandma and Grandpa.

Grandpa had both babies!

My sister teaches sunday school at her church in Kansas and this is a note, to me, from one of her students. So cute!



You'll have to go to the website to view this video of Mila cooing at the fan...it's her first noises caught on video!





love my Moby wrap!

 The big news of this week is that Mila had her two month doctor appointment, which included the first of her shots (HepB, DTap, Hib, Polio, Rotavirus and Pneumococcal). Overall, she was a trooper! It was so sad, though, to watch her little face when they stuck her with the needle; her eyes got all big, her mouth turned into a frown and she started wailing. It didn't help that, before the first one, she was laying on the table all smiley, poor thing. She seems to be doing good now, though. She's been sleeping a lot since she had the shots; I gave her some Tylenol and lots of snugs (the schedule is out the window tonight!). One thing I thought was interesting was that the Rotovirus vaccine was an oral vaccination, not a shot. Mila is also busy growing as she is now 22in long (grew 2in) and weighs 11.7lbs (gained 2lbs).

This was our first time at the new pediatrican and I loved it.  Contrary to what I was told, they DO have a sick and well side, so that was a nice surprise.  The doctor we were going to see originally was out of the office sick so we saw a different one and really liked her so we will probably continue going to her. She introduced herself when she came in and told us a bit about herself and the practice and apologized for the wait as she was the only doctor in the office (2 were sent home sick today and 2 are on maternity leave!). They have urgent care on both Saturday and Sunday morning, they answer their own emergency/on call line (instead of sending it out to a call service) and they have a very impressive brochure (it's the little things that get Robert!).

she didn't even know what was coming....

shots were hard on mama too!

melts your heart doesn't it??

And here are some more pictures of my second favorite baby, Johnny!  You can find many more adorable pictures on Shawna's sister, Stephanie's, blog, The Sweet Life.
