7 Weeks and First Shots

Well today Kylee had her first round of shots since she left the hospital.. I really wonder who it hurts more, The Mothers Heart or the babies legs.. Its tough not to hurt when your baby is hurting so much.. She has had a hard day but thank god for Tylenol.. Its good she got them done this week as we are preparing for our trip to Illinois. We are very excited to head out next week to see my family and patricks parents & brothers family. Its so amazing to me how fast time flys and how much they grow. Kylee is now 11 lbs 8 oz and 22.25 " long. She is in the 75% for her height and the 50% for weight. Doc says everything is on track..

Luckily no more shots for 2 months......

5 Weeks Old & Chubby

Kylee is now 5 weeks old.. I can't believe how fast she is growing.. Not only in length but look at those cheeks.. She is finally filling in.. Patrick was in Chicago for 4 days, so Auntie Niki flew out to spend that time with me and Kylee. It was great having the help and the company. Poor Niki didn't get much sleep at night. Kylee is still sleeping alot during the day and is more awake at night. I am working on keeping her up as much as possible but its been difficult. We have started giving Kylee the bottle. Patrick gave her the first one before he left and she took it right away.. Auntie Niki gave her the next one.. She is doing great. Patrick got back very late last night but it was wonderful to finally have him home. Next week Kylee will be getting her first round of shots. I am not looking forward to that.. I think it will be harder on me than her. Its so exciting that we are already celebrating her first holidays. I can't believe how fast the holidays are upon us.. Anyway.. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Kylee's First Halloween

So this week we took Kylee to the pumpkin patch to pick out her first pumpkin. Clearly it was more fun for Patrick and I but it will be nice to have pictures to show her some day. On Halloween we dressed her up as a beautiful Butterfly. We visited with our neighbors and passed out candy. We can't wait for next year to take her trick or treating with our friends and their kids. Maybe we can even get Patrick to dress up next year! On Halloween we took Kylee to her second doctor appt. She did great, everything checked out! She has gained 2 lbs since her last appt and grew and inch and a half. She is now 8 lbs 12oz and 21 in long. She is getting such cute chubby cheeks and finally starting to fit into more clothes.. She also graduated out of the newborn diapers and into size 1. Patrick headed back to work yesterday, so we went and had lunch with him, that way it broke up the day for both him and I. I got to visit with everyone at work. It was great to see everyone. Kylee slept the whole time we were there even being passed to several different people. Its been a great 3 weeks and we are looking forward to the next several months to see how she grows and changes.
