Yes that is what we nick named Baby G!! She truly is a tank rolls and all!! The funniest part is I was always worried I wasn't feeding her enough, since with breastfeeding you have no idea how much they're taking in. I bottle fed Ashlee so this has been all new too me. I was proven wrong when we took her to her first appointment at 1 month and she was a whopping 11 lbs we always tell her she's not missing any meals. Just last week she weighed in at 14 lbs 9 oz not even 2 months old!!
She eats every 2 hours and continues to do so through the night, again we joke with her and say you have to eat big to be big :)
Mommy's not finding this too funny anymore since I'm not getting any SLEEP!! I will say last night she went 5 hours and I was soooooooo happy, but I'm not holding my breath just yet :(
We just moved her into her crib late last week and she still ends up right next to me, as much as I love her being there I just can't get sleep. This is a work in progress and I'll update on it later!!
Other than the sleeping issues tanky is a very happy baby, she smiles all of the time and has been doing so since 5 weeks old. She makes the cutest little noises too, her favorite word is "um-goo" not sure what it means to her but she sure loves to say it!!! She's sitting up on my lap very well and holding her head up good!!
She's just like her sister, she doesn't want to miss out on anything!! If we are out and about she will make sure to stay awake for the entire outing...god forbid she misses something.
I feel like I'm raising the same child, she is pretty much the exact same baby as Ashlee and this is really a good thing. For the most part Ashlee was an easy going baby, and very predictable!!
Ashlee has done a complete turn around...for the good :) she is doing so well with her little sister and loves her so much. She asked me today if she could bring her to show and share at school. She is a huge help now and loves to play with Reagan. We love to put a blanket down, lay Reagan on it and let Ashlee show her all her toys. This will go on for 45 minutes or more. Ashlee has found her little place and she likes it!!
It's nice to get back into our groove again, I'm getting much better at getting 2 kids ready and out of the house on time :) I think that's whats really improved Ashlee's behavior was to get back on her routine.
Last month we had a successful first camping trip with the kiddo's!! Reagan and Ash were both awesome!! We are already planning many more of them in the up coming months :)
We are planning our first trip to Kansas City for Easter...Reagan has 2 cousin's to meet her age :) We are then heading to South Carolina to visit our friends Mikie, Amanda and Chase for a few days! It will be nice to get away for a bit!!
Nothing and no one is perfect but at this point in our lives I would say it's pretty darn close!! we really couldn't be any happier!!
