Tummy Time

Not a fan...!

Intrducing the bottle

I'm exclusively breastfeeding, and while that is wonderful in so many ways...it leaves Kyle out.  We introduced the bottle when we got home from Tahoe...having really no idea how it was going to go.  Many of my friends tried a couple different nipples.  I pumped 4oz, heated it and down it went, in less than 5 minutes.  A mystery about breastfeeding...you have no idea how much your little one is eating.  Josie slammed the 4oz and wanted more.  We were so proud of our little girl!!!

Party girl

The following day we had a bridal shower to go to which was also hosted at Grammy's.  All dressed up again, but only until the blowout...I tried!

I have to do what?

A Baby Tea

When you have a baby, EVERYONE wants to come over and visit.  Its wonderful, but also a lot of entertaining on some level.  So my mom, Grammy, had a little afternoon tea so everyone could meet Josie.  We all had a great time and Josie was all dressed up for the occasion...thanks Peggy!!!!

Trip number two

As I mentioned in a previous post, we had three trips planned in Josie's first 2 months.  The second trip Josie and I decided it was best for us to stay home.  She had a bout of Colic in the evenings and from about 5:00 on, it was a lot of work.  Kyle was in a wedding in AZ and with the rehearsal dinner and wedding both in the evening, we decided it was best for us not to go....we would have spent a lot of time in the hotel and it just wasn't in the cards.

Back to what was supposed to be trip three:  Lake Tahoe, CA!  We have family friends that have a place on the lake and it was amazing!!  None of us had been there, and we had a wonderful time.  Once again, Josie was awesome on the flights.  She did not like evenings, as Colic was still in effect, but thanks to the vibration on the bouncy seat....it saved us.  A few pictures from the trip!

Happy hour is exhausting

She wasn't so happy, and it was Dad's turn to try to calm her

Just so tired after eating!

Getting ready to leave...sad!

In the airport....I'm stressed...she is screaming...I'm sure the people in first class were worried it was never going to end..thankfully it did!

7 weeks and the first smile

It just melts your heart!!  LOVE IT

At 6 weeks, Josie had a growth spurt and pretty much ate and slept...the following depicted that exactly!

But she just couldn't keep those eyes open, although she is trying!
