Kaylee's 2-month appointment

Kaylee went in on Monday for her checkup. A big thank you to my sister Bree for watching Ashlyn while I took Kaylee in (Josh was in class). When I got to the doctor's office I tried giving her some motrin but she was so tired that she kind of spit it out and then went back to sleep. We first got her measured and weighed.

Stats:
weight 10 lbs 9 oz (50th percentile)
length 23 inches long (90th percentile)
head circumference 15.4 inches (75th percentile)

She is right on schedule and doing well. Let me tell you what, it's so nice not to have to worry about reflux, dry skin, and diaper rash issues this time around. She sleeps almost all through the night now and is generally a pretty chill little baby. The only thing we've really had to change with her is her drinking water. She didn't like the change in water when we moved so we are now using nursery water for her but I plan to start to transition her so that she'll drink the tap water here.

After the doctor examined her and answered my questions he sent the nurses in to give her shots. Poor little girl didn't know what was going to happen. There she was laying on the table contently sucking on her pacifier. They first gave her the oral vaccination which she downed like candy. Content after her so called treat and the company of her pacifier she looked like she was going to go back to sleep and that's when the nurses got her in both legs. I watched her there and thought her eyes were going to pop right out and then came the heart-wrenching cry. I felt so bad for her and wished I could have taken those darn shots for her. After I got her calmed down and in her carseat she fell asleep and slept most of the remainder of the day. Here is a picture of her after her shots.

Our New Apartment

So I tried to post the pictures as if you were viewing a virtual tour. We didn't have any pictures up yet and you'll notice that some areas are still unorganized as I'm trying to decide where I want things. We hope for some visitors if anyone is passing through.

Kaylee's Baby Blessing

(Not sure why the pics of Kaylee's face are blurry)

We blessed Kaylee on June 5,2011. It was such a sweet experience. Josh was able to bless her and did such a great job. Kaylee is a very lucky girl to have a father who honors the priesthood and is able to give her blessings. I hope that as time goes by my girls will gain testimonies of blessings and the importance of a righteous priesthood holder giving those blessings. Kaylee looked absolutely beautiful in her blessing dress that Grandma Brown made.

After the blessing we went home and had a small luncheon with family members. A big thank you to all of those that helped with it and for coming and supporting Kaylee at this special time in her life. We look forward to who she will become and what she does with her time on this earth. Thank you for coming to our family. We love you Kaylee!
