Andy's Shower for Weston

One of my best friends in life (seriously friendship started in elementary school) is having a baby boy in April. Just a few weeks away now!!! So excited for Andrea and Derrick. They are going to be great parents to baby Weston. She is doing his nursery in Peter Rabbit...so what better theme for the shower!! It was SO ADORABLE!!


Decor that Miss Kim provided!!!

Kelsey at the shower...she was so fussy.
There was too much going on and she wouldn't go to sleep.

You can't take country out of the girl!!

3 Months

This was a few weeks ago, but at least I am posting them. :-)

We can't believe that our little girl is growing so fast. She is still a VERY good baby. We even got through our first sickness this week and she wasn't too bad. Fussy yes, but would take her medicine with out a problem and still slept and ate. We are SO BLESSED to have this little girl with us. I couldn't imagine not having her. WE LOVE YOU KELSEY!!!

She looks like such a big girl sitting up like this.

This was taken on John's bday (which I forgot to post about....sorry babe!! Happy belated birthday in the blog-o-sphere). Can you tell she is going to be a daddy's girl??

Kelsey at 3 months:
- You are eating 7 ounces every 4 hours during the day (total of 4 times)
- You continue to sleep very well - 2 naps during the day and 1 cat nap during the car ride home from daycare. I have to wake you up every morning to get you ready to go (which I hate doing b/c you are so peaceful, but you don't mind one bit).
- Our favorite thing is your smile. You smile ALL the time. The best is when we wake you up in the morning and the first glance you get of mommy or daddy you smile. I can tell you that I am not smiling when I have to get up.
- You have started laughing. Not too much just a handful of times, but it is adorable.
- You are wearing size 1-2 diapers and still in your 0-3 month clothes. Your waist is so little that even some of those pants are big.
- You weigh around 11 lbs 8 ounces.
- You will hold on to things when we put them in your hand. You will sometimes accidentally grab something and hold on for a while (paci, clothes, burp cloth, etc..)
- You love being in the care as long as it is moving. When we stop at a red light you start to fuss a little.
- You are a VERY good traveler....you had your first plane ride and did great!
- You love the TV and sitting up. You have to be able to see what is going on.

Just some pictures

I have plenty to share that is for sure. I take pictures almost every day!! Especially since mom and dad gave me a new camera for Christmas.

why is Daddy making me hold this silly thing.

Bubmo time

Work, Daycare and Flowers

I am going on my fourth week back at work and all is good. It hasn't been as difficult as I thought it would be. We have a wonderful lady that is watching Kelsey, which makes it a little easier to leave her. Of course I would rather be with her every second I can, but it is good to have some structure back.

Anyway....my first day back and Kelsey's first day to daycare, John brought home roses for us. They were a late Valentine's Day gift too.

You think she is excited about her flowers??

These are pictures that were taken of her on her first day of daycare.
How sweet is it that she took these for me!

We went to Little Rock 2 1/2 weeks ago now...yes I am behind...surprise surprise. We went down on Friday...had lots of people over to the Robus house on Saturday to meet Kelsey...went to church on Sunday...and then flew home (which was a LONG process). Kelsey was such a good girl the whole time. We even go to leave her with John's parents to hang out at Karl and Kats for a little while Saturday night.

Trying this thing out for the first time. I would say that it was a success

Great Grandma rocked her to sleep

Great Aunt Debbie was very excited to meet her for the first time.
