Busy Weekend!!

This last weekend Brian's dad Jerry came down from South Dakota to visit Bree for the first time. I think he enjoyed meeting Bree, though I think she is a pretty likeable baby :) He was only able to be here for a short time, but Brian and I will be making the trip to South Dakota in June. On Saturday afternoon Bree and I attended Amanda and Payton's baby shower and really enjoyed ourselves while Brian and Jerry were back at the house working outside. Little Miss Bree wasn't so little when next to Mr. Payton at the shower, she is growing like a weed. Last week when I weighed her she was 12 lbs and 8 oz. On Sunday evening we headed to Emily and Jeff's for supper. Jeff is trying his smoker out and we were his guinea pigs, the meat was great Jeff :) Well this is my last week of maternity leave, I am glad it is going to be gorgous outside so Bree and I can go on walks and maybe get some flowers planted!!!

Happy Easter!!

I hope everyone had a good Easter today. We dressed Bree in her Easter dress for our family get together at Grandpa Michael's house. We learned that she must not like wearing tights because Saturday night at church she peed on them and grandpa Kipper then today she had a blowout and got her tights dirty. Oh Well!!! I think she really likes to wear dresses, I think we have a girly girl on our hands. The next picture is of Brian and Bree's Saturday afternoon ritual, they love to nap together. Aren't they Cute. The last picture is bath time with Bree. She has really started to like taking her baths, she doesn't fuss until she gets out and is cold. She continues to sleep really good at night, anywhere from 6-9 hours at a time!!!

Picture Time...

I just wanted to share some pics from a couple of Bree's photo sessions!!! A couple are with her bunny ears and the others are with her tutu that I made. I am pretty proud of myself for being able to make it, it was quite easy to make and only took me an hour!!! Today was not a nice day outside with the rain, sleet, and snow. We stayed inside all day and made cinnamon rolls and a pot of stew. I hope everyone has a good weekend.

One Month Appt.

Well her appointment went very well today. She is 10 lbs 9 oz and 22 1/4 in long, she is in the 90% of each of those, Dr.Grimaldi kept saying that her legs are so long. Well I guess she is taking after her mother in that aspect. I have enclosed some more pics a couple of the boys holding her, some funny faces we caught on camera, and one from her baptism for you to enjoy. Today I bought her some bunny ears for easter(Brian rolled his eyes at me when I came out of Target with them) so be ready for some easter pics soon.

One Month Old!!

Holy Cow!!! Bree is already a month old, where has the time went. We have had a fun filled first month. We are lucky to still have such a good sleeper, she is sleeping up to 6 hrs at a time, lets just hope she continues this until she sleeps through the night. Today we went for a walk with daddy and Dakota, we think she enjoyed it!! We had her baptized on March 12, she was very good, she didn't even make a sound when Fr. Jerry poured water on her head. Tomorrow we go to the Dr to see how much she has grown, she is really starting to fill out. It is amazing how much more she is moving and the sounds that she comes up with. Well I will update tomorrow with her stats from the appointment!!!

One Week Old!!

WOW!!! Bree is already a week old. Last Friday we went to the Dr. and our little Miss Bree has gain 2 ounces from her birth weight. She is 95% in length and 65% in weight, we have a tall skinny girl on our hands. We don't have to go back for a month because she was doing so well. She is sleeping very well, she only wakes every 3-4 hours to eat and then goes back to sleep. Brian was off all last week and is working part time this week, I don't know who it was harder on Brian, Bree, or me. I have enclosed a collage of some of our pictures we have taken this last week. As you can see Brian and Bree are sleeping buddies in the recliner, he says it isn't spoiling her!!!

1 day old!!

Bree is doing very good. She was having a little trouble bottle feeding, but has started to master the task!!! Today she passed her hearing test and had her pictures taken for the hospital website (I have to say she is quite the model). We get to go home tomorrow, which we are looking forward too. I am doing good, pretty sore at times, but when you look at Bree the pain seems to subside and you realize what a gift she is!!!
