Bree is a Rolly Polly!!!!

Bree rolled over for the first time on Friday. Now that we have a mobile baby we will have to make some changes around the house. Granted she can't go far rolling over she can sure get herself into some tight places. I know we have all seen babies roll over, but we are so proud of her that we taped it for your viewing pleasure!! We hope you enjoy it. Friday night after T-Ball we went to the Moran park and had a lovely picnic. Saturday night mom and dad babysat Bree so that Brian and I could have an evening out. We started off going out to eat, then off to the casino for a little gambling. Brian was playing the $2 slot and won $1600!!!! We couldn't believe our eyes, he was so excited. Needless to say Bree and I will have to hit the mall with daddies winnings!!! I start my new job on Tuesday. I am excited, but also nervous because I have never worked under my new Physical Therapist. I hope everyone has a good week!!

Cheesy Grin

Look at that cheesy grin!!! Bree has started smiling non-stop and when she does you can't help but smile yourself. As you can tell from the picture Brian and Bree were having a good time chilling in the recliner. We filled our pool and with the warm weather we had last weekend we tried it out with Bree. She just relaxed and floated around in her "wave runner". Ain't she adorable!!! I am getting excited to start my new job next week. I am going to Coffey County Hospital and working just 4 days a week. It will be nice to spend an extra day at home with Bree.

12 weeks old!!!

I can't believe Bree is already 12 weeks old. She is changing everyday, I love this stage in life. She is smiling all the time for her daddy(okay she smiles for everybody, but he wanted me to mention that he can get her to smile the most), she is cooing all the time, and is about to roll over. A couple weeks ago Bree had a cold and was having trouble sleeping at night, so be first-time parents I freaked out and took her to the Dr. He just told me that if it isn't better in a week to bring her back. Well while we were at her appt. they weighed her and she had gained 6 0z in 6 days. Holy Moly, I hope that she doesn't keep that up or we are looking at one chunky monkey. Her cold is better and she is sleeping better at night. The first picture is of Bree and I on my first Mother's Day!!! Isn't that the most adorable smile!!! The 2nd picture Brian took to prove to me that she has found her thumb. I think she knows she isn't suppose to suck on it from her reaction, she looks like "Uh Oh I am caught!!" We had her 3 month pictures taken and they turned out great. I can't wait for everyone to see them.

2nd Month Appt.

Well Bree had her 2 month appointment today and everything went well. She is 13 lbs and 5.5 oz in the 96% and 24 1/2 in long and 97%. The doctor said she is a big girl, he said that she is going to start not being satisfied with her feedings and that we need to start her on rice cereal. So with 2 of her bottles we are to put in a tablespoon of rice cereal everyday. We tried it with one bottle already and she seems to like it. Also at the 2 month appointment she had to have 3 shots :( It was sad seeing her cry, but she is a trooper and only cried for a couple seconds and was fine. also some good news she slept from 9-7 last night, if she keeps this up she will have a very happy mommy and daddy. Bree started at the babysitter this week and has adjusted very well. She goes with 3 little boys and they love her. I am really glad to have found a good babysitter that I can really trust. Everyday she sends a detailed note home of when she eats, changes diapers, and naps.

Happy 2 Month Birthday Miss Bree!!!

We had a fun filled day!!! First we had lunch with Marikay and Courtney in Ottawa, then on the way home we stopped and said hello to grandma who was working in Richmond today. Next Bree and I came home and went on a walk around town. In the evening when Brian got home we went on another walk. Bree really enjoys going on walks now. This evening was so nice we decided to do a few pictures outside with the tulips. Bree really likes her Bebe Pod, and will enjoy it more once she gets a little more head control. Well I hope you were all able to go outside today and enjoy the nice weather!! Only four more days on maternity leave :( Oh well the bills won't get paid unless I work so I better go back!

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!!!
