6 months

Oh, Chloe. How are you already 6 months? 6 more months and we will be planning your first birthday- I have already planned the theme for it! (Call me crazy)

 You really are the best baby. Never cry..well unless Rylee is tackling you- which she does often now. Everyone always compliments how well you are too. I'm so lucky you're laid back (at least for now you are.)

 You're 17 lbs! Whoa! You wear anywhere from 6-12 month clothing. 12 month sleepers. I think you'll have big feet like your big sister too!

 You sleep at night from 8pm-2am and then from 215am-730am (give or take) You nurse during the day about every 3-4 hours. Anddddd you are 100% transitioned to your crib! So happy, but so sad at the same time. You sleep a lot better in there.

Family pics!

We just got over another sickness in this house. They both had really bad coughs, but finally they're all better! Chloe also had an ear infection and she's finishing up the last of her amoxicillin. She's starting to like it now and I think she's ready for solids. She swallows the medicine so well now and when we first started it she would just let it run out.

I feel so hesitant to start solids this time around. I don't want my little baby growing up and I feel like she's gotten so big, so fast. We still haven't tried any type of solids. Maybe in a couple weeks we will give it a try.


We had family pictures taken a couple weeks ago. Here's some that she's uploaded.

Love my family.

Jeremy's been out of town for 4 days now. It's been tough, but I think this is good for us. Makes me realize how much he does help (because sometimes I feel like he doesn't.)

Here I am.

Life is crazy busy. Having two kids is somewhat tough. I've been incredibly blessed by having a sweet, sweet girl this second time around. She's already swaddle free and sleeping all by herself. Rylee at this age? Was definitely not. We were still up every 2 hours with her. Sure, Chloe has her bad nights, but they're occasional and most of the time she sleeps 6-8 hours at once at night.

When it gets to be nap time, the last thing I want to do is blog. Sad, but true. Blogging has been at the bottom of my priority list. Especially with moving into a new house & still SO much to do. We are a month in.

So, that's where I've been & maybe once I get the blogging itch back, I'll start back up. Until then..it will be posts here & there. =)

5 months!

I can't get over that you're already 5 months old!! Time is flying by so, so fast. 

You're really a good baby. You never really cry unless you are hungry, you have a dirty diaper or you're sleepy. You LOVE your big sister & you love to laugh at her. Melts my heart every single time.

You're a rolling machine now! You roll both ways & scoot all around. I'm not ready for a scooter, yet! You need to stay still! ;-)

Sleep is starting to get tough around here. You're breaking out of the swaddle and keep rolling over on your tummy. We have decided to do our own version of CIO. Today was the first day & you did really well. You only cried for about 15 minutes and then you rolled over and fell asleep. Hopefully every day from here on out is easier.

You are in size 3 diapers. You're a chunky butt. I have no idea how much you weigh, but I'm pretty sure my biceps are getting big just carrying you around.

You're in size 6/9 month clothes and even some of those are tight on you!

Stop growing, little lady!

New house

After a long 3 weeks of living with the in laws (post to come later) we are finally signing the papers on our new house! It's gorgeous and I'm in love.

We are moving in today and once we get the house unpacked & settled- I will do a little tour.

4 months! (a little late)

You turned 4 months 2 weeks ago, so I'm a little late, but better late than never, right?

You really remind me a lot of your big sister, ry ry. Your eyes are starting to turn really light blue & your hair is getting really light & growing! I'm glad I don't have bald head babies. :-)

Sleep: Minus going through a rough 2 week patch, due to RSV  (which was horrible), you sleep pretty well. You go to bed around 8pm, wake up around 1am and then about every 3 hours after that. You usually wake up for the day around 8am. Naps are great. You nap for about 2 hours (I finally have you girls on the same nap schedule- pure bliss!)

Clothes: You're in 3-6 month clothes now. Size 2 diapers.

You were 16.6 lbs and 24.5" at your 4 month check up! So chunky- I love it! You're nursing like a champ and usually about every 3 hours.

May as well keep going with the comparisons:

Life lately..

Things have been insanely busy around here lately. We have packed up our entire house, moved it into storage and now we're staying with my MIL/FIL until we close on our new house.

Did I mention we're buying another house? I am so flipping excited, but I'm starting to get super anxious.

We are scheduled to close April 1st. I'm starting to believe that's not going to happen. There was an error in our appraisal so now we have to wait until the appraiser fixes whatever the issue was...wait, wait, wait. I'm tired of waiting. I just want to move in already.

The girls have been a mess lately. Rylee decides to turn into a possessed child when the in laws are around & not listen to me. She's now waking up at 5am instead of 9am and only taking an hour nap. I am beyond exhausted. I can't wait to get in our own house and get back to our schedules like normal. It's been a rough 5 days...yep, only 5 days so far.
