Weight Loss

I'm finally losing weight. I'm so excited! I can wear my wedding rings again. I only have 10 more pounds to lose until I'm back to what I was before I got pregnant so I have lost a total of 30 pounds : ) I don't think that I will ever have a small belly though because 1. I always had a little pouch and 2. my skin hasn't completely "shrunk" back to what it was before. That's ok though, after being stretched out I wouldn't expect it to : )



Navie is doing great! She loves to talk and now she is starting to roll over in the other direction. She still won't sleep through the night. She gets me up about 4 times a night but that is better then the 6 times she used to get me up. Hopefully solid food will help with that. She is 12 lbs now and growing : ) She has had a lot of dry, red skin on her face lately. I'm using baby oil and Aveeno Baby lotion and it seems to be helping. I have a feeling that she is just going to have dry skin (especially in winter) because i have dry skin on my face all year long and Cris gets dry patches too. I think we have it under control now. Other then that everything is going great!

The best and worst night

Last night was a new experience for us. Navie slept in her crib for the first time. She handled it really well. It was a little bitter sweet though. While I was glad that she handle the transition without any problems, I really missed having her in our room. She has been sleeping in her bassinet for the last 3 months but she is getting a little a too big for it. Her arms would always hit the sides when she moved. I think that might have also been a reason why she woke up every two hours because last night she was only up two times. It was nice to get some more sleep. I could get used to this : ).

I'm a Steamroller Baby

Today Navie had her 3 month check up. I don't know why doctor's offices have to be so cold, but I felt bad for poor little Navie. As soon as we took her clothes off she started screaming and then the doctor had cold hands. She was a pretty good trooper through the hole thing. She is now 23 1/2 inches long and weighs 11 lbs. 13oz.! I knew she was getting big but I had no idea she was that big : ) Wow, they grow up fast! The doctor said that we can start giving her solid foods at 4 months. By then she will have doubled her birth weight and her stomach will be able to digest and absorb the nutrients in rice cereal. I'm looking forward to that so hopefully if I give it to her before bed she will sleep through the night. On top of all that, Navie is starting to roll over!!!! We like to call her a little steamroller. She will lay on her back and swing her legs over to the side and then get her upper half to follow. I was so shocked because she did it all on her own when we weren't expecting it. Tummy time is getting better too. She won't do it for too long but since we do it a couple of time a day, it adds up : ) I'm just so proud of her and how much she is learning and developing.
