Beautiful Baby!

Pumpkin Patch Photos

New friend

Again, this picture did not turn the right way, but you can still see these cute babies!  I thought this picture was hilarious.  Here is Jaxon (My sweet friend Erynn's baby--he was like 4 days old here) just mellow as can be, and then you've got Mallorie (at 2 months old) upset as can be---poor thing had gotten her shots that morning and was having a rough day. Oh, I hated to see her feel bad.  I wish I could have taken a million of those shots for her so that she did not hurt at all.  That is not a fun feeling for your baby to be so upset and feel bad.

 

3 months!

I can't believe Mallorie is already three months old! She is the sweetest thing and I just can't get enough of her. It is amazing to watch her grow not only physically but mentally as well. She bats and grabs at toys, is getting so strong with her neck, has great head control unless she's tired, smiles and talks to us and even laughed some more the other day. She still loves to sleep in my arms and though I don't get a lot done around the house I love for her to sleep in my arms. This past week she has started going to bed around 9 and still wakes up two times to eat before 6 and then will eat and sleep about another hour. During her third month there were a couple of weeks where she was waking up like every hour but thankfully she is back to sleeping three hours at a time and I will be glad when she gets back to her five hour stretches. She isn't on a set feeding or napping schedule but some patterns are emerging of when she wants to sleep and she can only stay awake about an hour before she's ready to sleep again. She still likes to stand up and be bounced to sleep and loves loves loves music! She weighs about 13 1/2 lbs and wears size 1 diapers and 3-6 mo. clothes. She loves to suck on her hands too. Mallorie is such a blessing to us and we love her more and more each day! I love being her mommy. She is such a great baby!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch last Saturday and it was a BUST!  The day started great when I got Mallorie down for a nap and had time to get myself ready.  Well, all of a sudden I hear her really crying, so I run into the room (I had her laying on our bed), and guess who is practically on top of her loving on her.....ROXI!  Poor girl loves Mal so much and just wants to kiss her all the time.  Which normally, is not a big deal to me, but when it wakes the sleeping baby..UGH!  So, we go ahead and load up to head to the pumpkin patch.  We make it to Chick-Fil-A for breakfast and the crying began.  I get in the backseat to see it I can help console her.  It worked for about 2 min. and then the real crying started.  We make it to the church parking lot and I try to feed her thinking it will calm her so we can get a few pictures.  Well, she just kept getting more tired, then had a huge poop, and on top of everything else was freezing when I had to change her with the car door open.  Well, we had made it this far, so I was not leaving without a picture.  We get one picture of Nathan, me, and Mallorie (screaming) and one of Me, Mom, and Mallorie (eyes closed)----those are on Mom's camera and I will post them soon.  But, here is a cute one of her in her precious outfit Aunt Lauri got for her to wear to the pumpkin patch.

 

Getting Strong

These first two pictures were rotated the correct way, but when I uploaded them they flipped...but, they're too cute note to use anyway.

I'm wild about this baby!

Mallorie likes Sophie....and so does ROXI! ---Rox will stand and growl at them in her crib.  The other day she ran off with the one that squeaks.  She just doesn't understand why she can't have them.

 

 

Precious!
