3 months old!

Oh my gosh where has time went? Our little girl is 3 months old!!

she is 11lbs 11 oz and 24 inches long! she is such a great baby! She is sleeping in her crib like a champ

sleeps from 10-1030 to 2-4:30am some nights were up 1 time and sometimes were up 2 times..but no more then that we do a diaper change and bottle and then back to sleep she goes..you would think mommy would get a good amount of sleep..but it takes me around a 1/2-1 hr to go back to sleep after feedings..but oh well..so worth it! she is cooing so much, i just love talking to her. she smiles all the time! and most of all shes starting to laugh! its so cute! she is growing up.she has such a little personality! we are doing cloth diapers not 100% but most of the time.. we use disposable at night, and if someone is watching her. i love doing cloth diapers it has saved us a bunch of money already. She had her 1st fever it was when we went on a weekend get away :( but tylenol took it away and she is getting better dealing with a little cold . She went swimming for the 1st time with mommy at the swimming pool at our hotel, she loved it.! she is such a happy baby! She enjoyed cuddles and being outside. She loves to go for walks and she also loves when we talk to her! she is learning how to laugh, its so cute she has only done it a few times! Daddy got to hear her last night. its so fun to see her grow up but yet so sad..because it is going fast... but i wouldn't change it for anything!

Mommy Life..

Crazy To think this time last year Leo and i was on our 8 year wedding anniversary trip to Sioux falls,Sd! This year for our anniversary (June 19th) we brought our daughter home. The best anniversary gift ever!! Our Trip last year was alot of hiking, and sight seeing and drinking..i enjoyed it very much one of my favorite trips every and i hope to take Tori there someday..But being a mommy is so much better then any trip! I enjoy changing diapers, and feeding Tori and just looking into her eyes..I love talking to her and singing to her! I love watching Leo with her..it just melts my heart..He adores her and she adores him! It makes me fall more and more in love with him..hes a wonderful father and husband!! I know sometimes i get annoyed with him but...im only human and get frustrated with some of the things he does.. but somehow he just keeps his mouth shut and just puts up with me! and i love him for that!! I do  hope we get blessed and are able to get pregnant again.. i hope we don't have to use medication..because i really don't want to..not only is it harsh on my body..but its so spendy!! Im already working on getting my weight off.. Got my gym membership back and iv been watching what i eat..im down 15lbs already...30 more to go before im at my pre pregnacy weight..but i would like to drop 40lbs.. so we shall see how easy or hard it will be!! I am my worst enemy when it comes to my weight and i will get it off..i am determined!! So far being a mommy is amazing..the down fall is the lack of sleep (well im pretty use to it) but sometimes i get so tired i get bad headaches...but Leo's pretty good at letting me sleep in the evenings if i need..but i can also take Tori to her grandmas or great grandmas also..but it is hard for me to leave her..i know shes in good hands when i do leave her.. My mom got to spend the day with her yesterday..leo and i had a day together..attempted to canoe and fish but the water was to high and the current was to strong..so we just did some sight seeing and some shopping and had dinner and i enjoyed it..but i really missed Tori! i know it will get easier to leave her..but i don't plan to leave her very often..just to go to the gym or have a date night once in awhile... 

I enjoy waking up to her..she is all bright eyed and i just love her and i talk to her..shes Mommy's little girl!! well i will write another blog tomorrow..she will be 3 weeks tomorrow!!!!!!!! 

2 weeks old (tomorrow)

2 weeks old on July 1st

-I like to eat every 3-4 hours

-i drink around 3 oz of formula

- i love to be in my bouncy seat

-i love to snuggle with mommy-daddy

-i don't like my swing

-my belly button cord fell off last week

-i like to take a bath, but hate my hair washed

When they same time flys..it sure does... 2 weeks old tomorrow, my little girl is 2 weeks already!! I love being a mommy it truly is amazing, so worth the wait and never giving up, so worth all the ups and downs and disappointments, so worth all the money in the world. waking up to her every moring all bright eyed and looking at me...her mommy...she needs me every day..and i love that..she loves to look at her mommy and she smiles and shes a happy baby! i couldn't ask for more!! Tori is also madly in love with her daddy, she looks forward to him coming home from work and loving up on her and giving her kisses and snuggles! We actually both look forward to when daddy comes home. We have stayed pretty busy the last couple of days, between going and visiting grandma and her auntis and her cousins and visiting her great grandmas and going shopping and going out and about to fairs.. but also.. she got her newborn pictures done! We can't wait to see them. Kadi our photographer does amazing work.. and we love her! she is so sweet and just is a all around wonderful person!!  The weather has been pretty nice we have tried to get outside when we can..but Tori gets so hot and the bugs are kinda yucky..but she does enjoy being outside! Mommy and Daddy try to take her for awalk but it doesn't always happen.. Mommy gets tired after taking care of her all day and cleaning and just being a momma, but i wouldn't change it for anything.....

Tori Enjoys taking a bath but hates her hair wash. She also enjoys her bouncy seat but not a big fan of her swing. She is still swimming in her Newborn outfits. She is putting on weight her little face is getting rounder and rounder, but so cute!!

Tori loves all the snuggles she gets from her family! I believe shes going to be a grandmas girl! She loves her grandma!! Its so cute blaze calls her cutie or says shes cute..is so fun to watch him with her. Colton is warming up to her..each and every time they see each other, the other night he was trying to share cars with her and that a major thing for colton :) 

Her auntis adore her and love hold her and love on her!! 

Great grandma loves to show Tori off to all her friends and loves to kiss her and rock her! She is loved buy so many

We will be going down to Illinois at the end of July and visiting her grandpa sloan and grandma sloan and the rest of the gang.. its going to be a short visit but it will be fun, she also gets to meet her uncle jacob..hes pretty excited for that!!
