Tummy Time

Today we tried tummy time on her changing pad and she did really well holding up her head. I decided to try Kinsley on the boppy and she did really well. See the pictures below. Can't believe that she is 10 weeks today, it is amazing how much time has passed.

Kinsley is getting so big. Last week we put her in her car seat to go somewhere and I had to adjust the head rest up. It is amazing to look back and think how tiny she was and how she has changed in the past 2 months.

Playing with my toys

Kinsley loves her toys. When we first put her on the play gym she just sat there and didn't do much but she is getting much more active now. Today she actually started to grab her toys and hold onto them. She is becoming such a big girl.

Last night I went shopping and purchased the breathable bumper and the soother for the side of her bed. I put the soother in her crib today and put her in there for a couple of minutes. She was so fascinated with the movement of the monkey and the bubbles of the water. Lets hope that it helps her go to sleep. This weekend we are going to work on her sleeping in her crib.

Passed out

Last night Daddy gave Kinsley a bottle while I was at the store. When I got home from the store this is the way she fell asleep after being burped. She had a full fat belly.

Shots Today

The pictures are of her sleeping after getting her shot, side effect tired baby.

Today was Kinsley's 2 month check up at her doctor. She got her first round of shots today and boy did she hate it. Mommy had to hold her arms down and when the needle went in her leg she had the most horrible look on her face and she got her bottom lip cry going. Mommy even started to tear up over my baby crying.

She does have to see an neurosurgeon for a skull deformity. She had a hemotobia when she was born and it appears that it was caused by a deformity of her bones in her skull. It makes mommy and daddy sad that she has this and needs to see a specialist but we know that it is better to have it examined now. Hopefully she will not need surgery to correct it but if she does at least she is young enough that it will not cause any major issues with her growth of her brain or head. The hard part is trying to stay positive.

Other news is that she is officially into her 3 months clothes! I am sad and happy at the same time. Happy because she has so much 3 months clothes and I am excited that she can finally wear them but sad because that means she is growing. At her appointment she weighed 10lbs 11oz and was 23 inches long. Which means that she has gained nearly 4lbs since birth and grew 2 inches. She is in the 75 percentile for her weight and 90% for her height.

I live with these people!

Tonight we went for a walk outside because it was a nice day finally. Kinsley started to get a little sleepy on the way back home. When we got home I wrapped her up in a blanket and she fell asleep on me for about 10 minutes.

This look on her face seemed to say "I live with these people!" It cracked me up.

Also we had a long day she slept a total of about 45 minutes today and that is pretty short for a girl that usually sleeps for 4 hours during the daytime.

My First Bottle

Today was a big day for Kinsley. She had her first bottle of breast milk. I was so nervous and scared about her taking to the bottle but she did really well. Mostly my fear was mine, I was so nervous about her eating out of bottle and than rejecting me. That didn't happen though and I will not be feeding her from the bottle for a while so she has no association of the bottle and I together.

We asked Auntie Heather to come over and help with the feeding her. We both are new at this and really had no clue how to handle it. Heather helped us so much and I loved sitting back and seeing her feed Kinsley. It was beautiful.

The bottle that I chose to test her on is the Breast Flow bottles made by the First Years. Last week I meet with my baby group mom's and a few of them told me that they were using the bottle because it made the baby work for food and they control the flow like a real breast. It is cool because it requires suction and compression for the milk to come out. I was so happy to find something that works because in no time I will be back to work and she will need to drink from the bottle.
