2 month check up!!

We took Chylar for her 2 month check up. Gord and I had bets on what she weighed and how long she was. I won the length and he won the weight. (we have to make everything a game )She is 22 inches long and weighs 11 lbs and 2 oz. She has gained 4 lbs in 6 weeks. I knew she was over 10 lbs, but, 11?? She isn't quite smiling yet. The doctor said that should happen any minute, so we will keep trying. She is sleeping better at night. She still gets up, but usually goes back down pretty easily. I'm not as zombie(ish) as I was. I only have 3 weeks more of leave : ( It is going to be hard to leave her. We are almost done with her room. I will post pictures when we get everything hung!!

Mother's Day!

Chylar and Grandma!

Sacked out while giving me my gifts : ) You would be tired, too, if you had to hold up those cheeks : )

Beautiful custom onesie/burp cloth!!

Bikini Babe!! When you got it, you got it. ABS of steel.

What a very anticipated Mother's Day I had. I bet Gord and Chylar were nervous to see if they met my expectations : ) THEY DID. Everything was great. Sometimes I still can't believe she is ours. They bought me my favorite bagel for breakfast and I got a shirt, frame and candle! They did good. In the afternoon, we went to my sister's and hung by the pool and ate (of course). We always eat!! Here are some pics to enjoy!!

I hope you all had a great day, too!!!

Update

Things have been going great! Chylar has had some gas that we are dealing with, but what a trooper she is. She doesn't cry much, just GRUNTS. We have changed formula. It seems to be getting a little better, probably because she is becoming more active. She is so interested in things now. that was the biggest change I have noticed this week. She is wanting more stimulation. She is still sleeping a lot, during the day, but when she is awake, she wants some entertainment. : )

Nights are still challenging. I am taking the night shift since Gord is working, so I am pretty tired. I have a hard time taking a nap during the day. I need to make myself. I guess I am so excited to not have to work, that I am trying to get things done and make plans with people and enjoy this time off : ) I am at the half point in my parental leave from work : ( 6 more weeks.

Gord had to travel for business last week, so my mom came over and did the night shift... WOW that was awesome. I had two full nights of sleep (IN A ROW) and what a difference that made!! Thanks, MOM!!

Gord's parents are visiting from Canada at the end of this month! Chylar is excited to meet her Omi and Opa!!

We are planning to meet up with some of my online buds in Chicago in June. I have never been there, Gord loves it!! That will be our big family vacation for this year.

Since it had been awhile, I thought I would catch you up. Things are going well over here. We are just awaiting her to start smiling at us. I read that is coming up and I think that will feel so great when it happens : )
