I know, I know...

I am the WORST blogger : ( I apologize! I'm trying to enjoy every last moment with Keira before I return to work next week (June 3). And I am seriously going to guess that no one even comes here anymore because I barely ever post! I promise I will try to post more!

Well Keira is 11 weeks old and growing like a little weed. She is smiling constantly at us and I know how to make her smile too. It's the best feeling! We are getting ready for her baptism on Sunday and Mommy even got a new car : ) I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have 4 doors. So now hubby has my Accord Coupe : ) 

I really could not have asked for a better maternity leave. The weather in Chicago this March, April, and May, has really been amazing and I am so glad! It's been great to be able to get out with a new baby instead of being couped up in the house like if it were winter! We have spent a lot of time out on the patio and Keira loves it. She is either sleeping through the night for about 10 hours at a time! OR getting up once, which I definitely cannot complain about. She has her moments in the evening where she SCREAMS a lot but we are trying new techniques and it seems to be helping a bit. She is a real good and beautiful baby : )

Here is my new car and of course some pictures of our little babe!

Reading with Mommy : )

 

Hanging out on the patio : )

Look at my little skirt : )

And for the grand finale......

My first on camera smile : )

2 months old!

I can't believe Keira is already 2 months old. Time is really flying! She is smiling at us and mostly sleeping through the night which is a big plus : ) I can't imagine our lives without her in it.

I'm returning to work part time on June 3 so I'm trying to start mentally preparing for that. It's gonna be so hard to be away from her for 10 hours a day 3 days a week : (

I'm so horrible at updating this blog so I will post a bunch of pictures now while I have the chance!

She is soo big!

Sittin up in her bumbo pretty good!

Jungle play time!

Seeing herself in mirror : )

Loves her seahorse. Daddy called it a worm once!

2 month photo shoot : )

Look at those chubbies!!

Trying out her summer shades : )

Happy Anniversary!

Today is mine and Kevin's 2nd Wedding Anniversary! Lastnight we celebrated with a wonderful Alaskan King Crab dinner while Keira was at his parents. It was delish!! I missed eating crab and lobster while pregnant so we had it planned for many months : ) Mmmmm!

I know, I know. I am the worst blogger in the history of blogging. I apologize, we are just so busy with our little darling who is almost 8 weeks old! I will try and post some more pictures of her this week.

Happy Anniversary Hubby!

Little Miss Keira is...

1 month old! Boy does time sure fly. She is doing really great and even surprised us a few days ago by sleeping for 10 hours straight! Of course Mommy awoke at 1 am freaking out but I was very glad that she pulled it off at such a young age : )  She hasn't done it since and seems to know to wake up more than usual when Mommy and Daddy have had a few beers with friends : )  It's amazing how much they change in such little time. That's why I take LOTS of pictures so I can remember what it was like to have a little tiny babe.

We're currently trying to figure out her baptism plans but other than that things are pretty steady. Oh..we did buy a 55 inch flat screen for the family room. It looks really nice and of course we are enjoying watching all of our sports on it!  Cubs opening day today : )  Lets go Cubs!

Here she is. She is just so big! Happy 1 month!

We introduced her to her first toy : )

and tummy time too!

and well...she hates it!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Happy Easter to all! Keira had a very nice 1st Easter : )  We had a delicious brunch at Kevin's Aunt & Uncle's house and then we had dinner over at my Mom's. So it was a busy day and well...she pretty much slept through most of it, but that's okay! She also got to meet many of her 2nd cousins/Great Aunt's/Great Uncles and Great Grandparents : )   She is really growing like a weed. I swear she is soooo much bigger and taller already : (  Its amazing in just 3 weeks, the beautiful bond we have made with her. I feel like i've known her for so long and everything is just wonderful. I love my time at home with her and am looking forward to her first smile/laugh/roll over : )  It's all gonna happen so soon, i can just tell! But it really is astonishing at how much they change and so fast!

Hope everyone had a nice Easter with their families! Here are some photos of her 1st Easter and a few from the past week.

Her little egg for the egg fight : )...and her sleeping through brunch!

Thanks everybody for all my Easter presents : )

What is this thing?!

Happy Easter!

See you soon!

2 weeks already?!

Yep its been 2 weeks since our little darling came into our lives! I just can't believe it. These past 2 weeks have flown and it actually makes me sad. Keira has been doing real good and we just love her so much!  She has gained 5 oz already so she is growing fast! Her belly button got a little infected so we are giving her meds. Poor little thing!

Kevin goes back to work on Monday for good so that will be quite an adjustment. But I had 2 days alone with her this week and am getting a routine going. Babies are A LOT of work! I also left her yesterday for the very first time for a few hours to get my hair done and I missed her a bunch!

I'm 0 Months!

bye bye!

A quick hello!

Hello everyone! Keira has been home with us now for almost 1 week! She is sleeping pretty well at night and sleeps a lot during the day. Her jaundice is getting better and she is back to her birth weight so she is eating enough : )  I think that has been Mommy's biggest fear. We even got to take her on her first walk as the weather was super nice : )

Keira says hello!

I love being cozy! We always keep her snuggled in comfy blankets : )

Going on our first walk! It was sooo cute, all the neighbors were coming out of their houses to meet her when they saw us walking with our new daughter : )
