Hi Blog! It's been awhile!

Wow, so I've totally been a blog slacker... and it really sucks. I was hoping to use this as an online journal to share all of Calyn's milestones. Well obviously that didn't happen, but I'm making a change.

It's such an exciting time in our lives, Calyn is pulling herself up, walking along the couch, and causing a lot of trouble.

One of my great SK sisters is making Calyn's invitations for her first birthday party which I can't believe is coming up SO soon.

I have little fingers coming from behind the computer so it's time to go and hopefully I'll be able to keep posting.

Dear Mommy (aka Ashley),

You are a blogging slacker. Yes I know I keep you very busy, but come on woman I need to know what my life was like when I was a baby.

Love,
Your Daughter Calyn

Two months.. ALREADY???

Well our little monkey is two months old. I can't believe it! She is growing like crazy! She talks and smiles and follows everything with her eyes. She's also holding her head up great and can lift it up to 90 degrees when she lays on her belly. One of her favorite things to do is lay on her play mat and she has figured out when she hits the toys with her hands they make noise. So cute!!

She had her two month appointment yesterday and she did really well. She got 3 shots and one oral vaccine and was a trooper. She cried as loud as I've ever heard but once I picked her up she calmed right down.

Now for stats:

Length: 24inches - 95%
Weight: 11lbs 14oz - 75%
Head Circumference: 15.25in 50%

Time flies when your having fun...

I've used the expression in the past, but never before have a seen the true meaning. Sure summer vacation used to fly when I was in school, and Lyle's times home from deployments always seemed so much shorter then the actual deployment, but the last 5 weeks of my life has flown by. My baby is 5 weeks old. The last two weeks of the pregnancy seemed to drag on forever and now it seems so far away!

Motherhood is something you can't put into words, it's like my heart is outside of my body and is carried around by this wonderful little bundle. I knew parenthood would change me, but I didn't understand it until she came. Lyle and I are so blessed to have this little girl and I now could never imagine life without her.

Calyn has changed so much since we brought her home. She is getting so strong, holding her head up and looking around, she's growing like a weed - that little peanut we brought home from the hospital is the length of her 3 month outfits. And the best of all she's getting a personality. About a week and a half ago she started smiling in response to our voices and smiles, what an awesome sight! And just this morning I heard her rousing in her bassinet and I peaked over and gave her a smile and said good morning. In response I got the biggest smile, if that doesn't make your heart melt I don't know what will. She is just awesome!

Other than that Calyn is a well seasoned traveler, she has been all over area and is such a good girl when we travel.

As for me, I have my six week follow-up next week and I can't believe it. Although it will be nice to have some of my questions addressed and hopefully I will get the all clear for all activities! can't wait to do my ab assault! I've been working out for the past two weeks in hopes to lose this 20 extra pounds I put on during pregnancy.

To end this post I'll put in some pictures....

2 Weeks 1 Day Doctors Visit...

We took Calyn to the doctors on Tuesday December 29th for her two week visit. Everything went well, she is gaining weight - she is now 8lbs 9oz and she is 21.75inches long.

Calyn was so well behaved and barely cried at all. The Dr. listened to her heart for about two minutes and he could no longer hear her heart murmur. I could not be happier! Her heart rate is now normal with no skips or extra beats and within normal range for beats per minutes. We're so relieved... Her next visit is at two month where she has to get 5 immunizations :(!
