4 month's old

These are some of her 3 month pictures from Uphoff Photography

Happenings in the last two weeks....

Last weekend Jason and I went into Springfield to get Miss Kaylee a high chair so that we could start cereal on Monday. We ended up getting it at a Target right here in Decatur - go figure! Anyway, she hasn't decided what to think of the cereal just yet and so far, the next day it usually comes back up either in the morning or afternoon. She isn't into the whole spoon thing either - she'd rather I dip her pacifier in the cereal than take it from a spoon.

Anyway, last week when we were in Spfld, we stopped by Meaghans for her candle party and also at Grandma Janet's. It was a fun day but very exhausting for Jason and I both.

On Wednesday, Kaylee had her 4 month check-up. Daddy was off work so he got to take her. She got lots of shots and didn't cry as bad as the first time. She weighed only 12 lbs and 11 oz (putting her in the 25th percentile for breastfed babies) - so a little small and Dr. recommended that we try offering her more from the bottle when she is at daycare to see if she can gain a little more. She was 24 inches long and otherwise a health little thing.

Happy Mother's Day!

Wow - the last post was just 4 days before my entire life changed. Here it is Mother's Day and my little girl is about to be 4 months old!! So, I am going to attempt to update this thing weekly from here on out (thanks to a tip from a mommy of twins - if she can do it, I can, right??) otherwise she will be all grown up before I get back to keeping everyone updated on our happenings.

Miss Kaylee Katherine Ann Williamson arrived on January 17 at 1153am via c-section after about 12 hours of labor and 2 hours of pushing. She weighed 8 lbs and 3 oz. and was 21 inches long. I remember waking up in recovery with no name for her and they tried to give me pictures of her to help until I could be released to my room. Jason and I went to the hospital about 98% sure it was going to be Abigail Nichole but when I met her -- she just wasn't what I had been picturing for 9 months (bald with my skin tone). So, instead dad and I decided to name her after her three grandmas (Janet Kaye, Mary Katherine, and Margaret Ann) and it was perfect!!

Here is her one month picture. It is so amazing how quickly they change in such a short amount of time. I now look back and remember how much she slept. I definitely took advantage of the naps:

She quickly turned 2 months and then 3 months:

3 months

And now next week on the 17th, she will be 4 months! It's crazy how fast life passes us by. I now some days have felt like weeks and some weeks seemed like only a few days - it's all a blur really but I know one thing for sure -- she has the best daddy in the world! He has been an incredible support and is just a natural. I am a lucky mom! I definitely didn't need days like today where all Mother's are celebrated to know just how lucky I am. I can't wait to see how much she changes in her first year but I am excited and just love her so much.

Again, I hope to update this weekly but if not, definitely more than every 4 months!! Thanks for all those who check in on us. Until next week....
