One Month Old....

Beej & Chris

Kaylee was one month last saturday but I am a little slow getting this blog out. :-) This week BJ's mom has been here from Oaklahoma. We have really enjoyed the time we have got to spend with her. It has been so nice having someone there just to hold Kaylee while I get a few things done around the house. We are going to miss Grandma Tenney that is for sure! Here are a few pictures of Sherryl and Kaylee.





The following pictures are of Kaylee exactly one month old. I had a little fun that day taking pictures of her.













Things have been going really well. There were a few days last week and the week before where Kaylee was really colicky. She has a really hard time burping so then by the end of the day her tummy is really hurting her. We give her mylicon drops to help with the gas which I really think has helped. BUT this last week she has done really really well. She is smiling at us. She follows my face and turns to find me whenever I or BJ talk. I LOVE it! Her eyes are focusing more and more on different things. We even put her in the little play area to see what she would do...she loved it!



Kaylee has a little bit of reflux so she sleeps in her bouncer at night. But her favorite place to sleep is in mom or dad's arms.











She loves her swing and really likes it when we pat her back. When she is taking a nap she likes to be swaddled but as soon as she wakes up she wants her arms out to stretch. I love watching her wake up. She is seriously an olympic stretcher. She stretches forever!

She has been doing really well with breasfeeding. She likes to "snack" a lot from 7pm to about 10pm or 11pm but then she sleeps for 4 hours in the night! Last night she even slept 4 1/2 hours and then another 3, it was wonderful! I love how more awake she is during the day and how much she looks at me. I didn't think I could love her more than the first day I saw her, but I have just felt more and more love for her everyday. I mean how can you not love this face! :)

Two Weeks Old

Beej & Chris

TWO WEEK'S














When Kaylee was born she weighed 7 lbs 5 ounces and was 21 inches long. The pediatrician wanted to see her again two days after we went home from the hospital- which made her 5 days old. She weighed in at 7 lbs 7 ounces!

THEN at her two week appointment she weighed 8 lbs 2 ounces (50% percentile for her age), stayed at 21 inches long (which is 75 % percentile for her age), oh and her head circumference was 14 3/4 inches which is in the 50% percentile for her age. YAY! She is eating well and gaining weight. Now if we could just get her to sleep better...... :)
Things have definitely changed in the TENNEY home.


You frequently will see me doing this...........




Kaylee has some really good nights and then some really bad nights. She likes to fall asleep when she is eating and sometimes I fall asleep with her (which isn't very helpful. he he). So with her falling asleep; feeding usually takes at least an hour. We tried feeding her with only her diaper on, changing her diaper in the middle of the feeding, and rubbing her feet and talking to her..and sometimes it works but sometimes she is totally out and so I let her go to sleep. THEN an hour later she decides to wake up and eat. :) Oh well, we will get into a routine eventually.



Laundry day is no longer weekly......


The week BJ was home he would get up and burp Kaylee and then change her in the middle of the night. Well one night BJ came running in to get the camera. LOL She totally squirted him! BJ is such a good sport. He never complains and offers to change Kaylee whenever she needs a diaper change. Even though he has been pee'd on and now pooped on.



It has definitely been an adjustment having a newborn join our family but BJ and I have really enjoyed it. We LOVE watching Kaylee wake up from her naps. She stretches and makes the cutest faces. Whenever we bathe Kaylee she cries until someone holds her hand and then she calms right down. She likes to feel the security that someone is there with her. Oh and she honestly has the STRONGEST muscles. She already holds her head up. Whenever I am burping her on my shoulder she holds her head up and will just look at me as if she is saying "hey, what are you doing mom?" It is soo cute.





















Thanks to all that brought us food and came to visit. We have really appreciated the family and friend support! I can't believe how much Kaylee has already changed! She is getting so big so fast. You can tell just by comparing the pictures at the top of this post to the pictures here at the bottom. BJ and I both love our Kaylee so much and are very grateful to have her.
