Love you all!

Roll over!

She wasn't all that happy about the tummy time, but I finally caught Audrey rolling over on camera!!

Jack

Today I received an email from my dad and step-mom titled "Jack." It read "Meet Jack, Audrey's new pony." There were two pictures attached. I called them and said "what did you do??" To get to the point, Grandma ad Grandpa bought Audrey a pony!! He's a 7 year old paint. We haven't met him yet, but we have been reassured that he is a big sweetie. Audrey won't be riding him for a few years, but we are thrilled!! Every little girl wants a pony, right?

Big smiles for Dad!
Barely caught it with the camera!

Audrey is 4 weeks old today!!! Time sure does fly! We had a doctor appointment today and she already weighs 9lbs 10oz. She is outgrowing a lot of her newborn stuff...it makes me so sad!! She gets great big smiles all the time now and likes to coo back at you when you talk to her...so sweet!!

So now I have a question for all of you moms: What can I do about her gas? She gets such horrible gas sometimes and I feel awful for her! She will burp and fart constantly and just cry and cry. At first I thought it had something to do with the way she was latched on so I started using a nipple shield again and the gas went away. Then, days later it returned. The fact that she isn't gassy everyday makes me think it is something I am eating, but what? I asked the doctor today and she just kept telling me it was normal...I don't think it's normal for my baby to scream all day! Any suggestions are very, very welcome!!

I make under-eye circles look good!

Audrey seems to finally have figured out the difference between days and nights....Whew!! For the first few weeks she slept really well at night, only waking up a few times to eat and then going back to sleep. Now that she is awake more often I didn't get a whole lot of sleep at the beginning of the week. Yesterday she napped on what I refer to as the "daycare schedule" and went to bed at 8pm. She only woke to eat at 1:30 and then got up for the day at 5:30. She is napping on the daycare schedule again today. Such a good little baby! She even puts herself to sleep! ("Daycare schedule" is a nap around 8 and a nap around 12, FYI)

This morning she rolled over several times...I grabbed the camera to catch it, but instead recorded her spitting up all over and mushing her face into it...lovely. Maybe I will have better luck after nap...maybe.

So today I spent all morning getting myself and Audrey fed and ready to go to the mall to meet up with my cousin. Going anywhere becomes a big production because she nurses every 2 hours and it takes her up to 45 minutes depending on how sleepy she gets. Anyways, we finally got to the mall around 11:30 and I discovered that Audrey's stroller was in the garage. I drove all the way home to get it and remembered that Scott has the garage door opener and key at work with him. So now I'm stuck home today...while I should be cleaning I have been playing on facebook and now I'm blogging...lol.
