If only you could tell me what was wrong?

Dear Buggie,

You gave mommy such a hard time today! It all started after our lunch date with your Nana. We went to Burlington Coat factory to do some shopping and wait for Auntie Tiff to show up. You all of a sudden started to cry so loud I thought the baby toys were going to fall off the shelf. I took you out of your stroller to try and console you and couldnt. We went and changed your diaper because Daddy and I know you hate to be wet, but that didnt help. Mommy tried to distract you with toys and bright objects in the store, but you still screamed. You were still about an hour from when you should eat again, but mommy tried to give you a bottle. We plopped down in one of the gliders they had for sale and I tried to rock you to sleep...DIDNT WORK! A lady that worked in the baby department came over and had this look on her face. I felt like a horrible mommy and I was so embarresed that you were screaming. The lady suggested that I put you on my legs and rock you...Didnt help...I just kept apologizing to her. Luckily she understood and said she'd rather it be a new baby than a spoiled two year old screaming because they want a toy...Wow! Anyways, I put you back in your carseat/stroller and we headed out! Once I got you moving you fell asleep...whoo...I thought and took a deep breath! Luckily, you slept in the car until we got home, and then off you went again. I changed you again, I let you finish the bottle we started and then I rocked you in my arms and you fell asleep. You slept on me for about 45 mins so I decided I was going to put you down in your bed to finish your nap...BIG MISTAKE! You woke up and the screaming began again...Your legs were tight, your belly was hard...I knew you must have had a tummy ache...You had already gone poopy a couple of times in the morning. I tried rubbing your belly for a little while and you calmed down! I put you on your playmat and you became a happy girl for about 20 mins. You were talking and hitting your toys and were all smiles..then you fell asleep! I decided I was just going to let you sleep where you were. After you woke up it was on again....not really time for bath and bed yet, so mom did everything to try and calm you...we were walking around the house, mommy was singing to you, I even layed you on your changing table so that you could talk to Mrs. Flower (your light) You calmed down instantly and just chatted and smiled away at her...then you got annoyed again and started to scream... I gave you a little bit of tylenol and that seemed to help whatever was causing your pain. It was bath time by this point...which of course you loved..then pjs and a bottle...you finally fell asleep and it was time for bed.....

That was probably one of the hardest days of my life..I felt like I had just climbed a huge mountain and once I got to the top..I just took a deeeeepppp breath! I was exhausted once daddy got home..and I just started to cry! If only you could tell me what was wrong, it is such a guessing game with you little girl. But dont worry, I will do everything and anything no matter what to figure it out!

Mommy loves you!

2 months

Hello to my sweet baby girl,

You are a little over two months now and my how you have grown. Today we took you to your 2 month checkup and for your first set of shots (sorry baby). You have grown to a whopping 12lbs 5 ounces and are now 22 inches long. You have basically doubled your weight over a months time...Mommy is so excited because you are getting closer and closer to being able to wear ALL the really cute 3-6 month size clothes. For some reason, you have a TON of that size and not to many of what you can actually wear now. So this means you have to wear some outfits over and over again...I know, I kept saying you would wear a new outfit everyday, but mommy hasnt won the lottery yet...believe me, if that ever happend, you would have a closet the size of our house. You are doing so many new things now! You have started to really coo and talk to us now and your smiles are absolutely the cutest thing ever. Your absolute FAVORITE thing of all time is bath time...You kick and splash and laugh while you are in there and then get so mad at mommy when its time to get out. Daddy and I hoped you would love the water and boy do you!

You still eat pretty much the same amount as before, but now you have decided that you like to play with the nipple on your bottle..You chew on it like its a piece of bubble gum..Its kinda funny, but not when its 3am and mommy or daddy would really like to be sleeping. Speaking of sleep, You had us hopeful for a split second that you were going to be sleeping through the nights now..You slept for 8 hours strait two days in a row..I have to say thanks for that by the way...It helped daddy and I get some much needed sleep! But, you have decided that you werent ready to continue with that all the time..I think you just missed seeing us in the middle of the night:) You have started to hold objects in your hand, but your still working on the control of your hands. You have hit yourself in the head with your rattle a couple of times..Luckily, not hard enough to hurt you though.

Mommy had to go back to work when you were 6 weeks old, and that was a very hard thing for me to do. I wanted to be able to stay with you every day and keep you safe, but unfortunately I cant. We are very lucky to have your grandma vikki, your nana and your grandma's help on the days that daddy and I cant be home with you. Mommy was so afraid that you werent going to do well without her, but you did and still are..Some days you give your nana and your daddy a little bit of a hard time, but all in all..you are a pretty good girl for everyone. Mommy has taken you on 3 playdates so far with stacia and Cobe. We have gone for a walk at seminole park and we have gone shopping/walking at two different malls already. Mommy loves going to the playdates with stacia. We get to talk grown up talk, about you and cobe and your daddy's:)

You went to your very first birthday party for little miss Ava recently...Your Bestie Elyse was there with dillon and Aunt Kelly! Also, your Boyfriend Cobe and his mommy Stacia and Kyle came as well. You decided that you didnt like wind that day and became very upset. Aunt kelly calmed you down for mommy and got you to fall asleep. You slept pretty much the entire time at the party in your little stroller cave... The night before the party, Your aunt Kelly and I took pictures of you and Elyse in your Ladybug costumes..You girls were both way past your bedtime and were not happy campers. But, I have to say, you two were still the cutest little lady-bugs ever.

Well baby girl, Im looking forward to all your new things to come over this next month!

Mommy loves you very much!
