It has been a crazy 2 months! Probably at the top ten of the craziest two months of my life! I often think back to the day she was born and try to remember everything about it.
When I first heard her cry, I knew we were in for it! She has the loudest cry ever. I'm pretty sure our neighbors can hear her across the street and are wondering what we are doing to her. I hate when that bottom lip comes out. So flippin' sad. Chad and I always start saying 'Oh no. Don't do it! Don't cry! Don't do it!' Sometimes it actually works and she'll start smiling again. She's been smiling at us for the past few weeks now and it seriously makes your crappy day worth it. Even if I'm totally annoyed with her (for some reason) she'll look up at me with those big innocent baby blues, smile and all is well.
Her eyes follow me and her dad all over the place. She'll even stare from across the room.
She is huge and I love it! I think she is the coolest baby ever. When they put her on the scale, I laugh hard every time. I still can't believe we made such a big baby. She rocks my world.
Her binkie is her true love! I don't know what I'll do when we have to wean her off that sucker but for now....oh well!
Some nights, when she is at her fussy time, I set her on my legs and pull my knees up so we can chat. She'll be happy faces and little coos at first and then she'll start telling me all her whoas. All I do is interject, "Oh really. Tell me all about it. Oh no!" It almost sounds like she's complaining but they are not big cries. It is so funny!
She's been a pretty awesome sleeper most nights for a while now. The last four nights she was consistent and has slept around 8 hours each night. Except for last night, she slept 5. Not too shabby. Unfortunately, the last few days she's catnapped. We realized last night that we weren't swaddling her for her naps. I'm hoping that fixes it but who knows. I thought for a little while I might go insane if it continues:)
When she wakes up from said sleeps, she always rubs her face on our shoulders or upper chest. I mean, I think she would do it forever if she wasn't ready to eat. Then she'll do it again when she's getting ready to go back to sleep. Goofy kid.
Official Stats:
Weight: 13 lbs. 4 oz (95%)
Height: 23 3/4 inches (95%)
Head Circumference: 15 3/4 inches (80%)
She's been a blessing and a challenge all wrapped up in one and we love her so very much!

Cutest little girly around! Wish you would come visit so we can hold that sweet girl. Don't you love the pouty bottom lip?! It's my favorite, I almost want him to cry sometimes so it will come out, ha. Gaines does the same thing with rubbing his face in my shoulder, its hilarious, it reminds me of Eiger.
Cute kid! That's awesome that she's already sleeping pretty well through the night! We need to come and see you all again soon!
Pretty cute! I hope the mini naps are getting better...it's the worst!!
Such a beautiful little Kelsie. You just want to kiss her and squish her cute little cheeks. I love her little poses. Mom
what a sweetie! it's crazy how fast the times goes. we really need to see you and that cute thing of yours! sorry her cry is loud...we totally have one of those (she's two now and it only gets louder, lol)!
What a sweet pea! We need to have a scream-off with our two sirens :)
Hey our kids are almost up to same weight. Finally! I'm so glad you posted an update. She's darling!!
Finally caught up on your blog. Thanks for the post about Dad. It's funny as time goes on I start to understand more and more about him. I miss him and his guidance. Little Kelsie is so cute. We need to get together with the Huggins at your house or ours.
That request sounds reasonable...but I expect to be paid also! And don't think you'll get off so easily...you can come down in about 3 months and return the favor! :)
I'm so glad you've been "blog stalking!" Kelsie is ADORABLE!!! Isn't it funny how the babe can be such a pill, but then they smile and giggle and you just can't stay mad at them! They're cute little stinkers!
