Home Owners and September

I had my 23rd birthday and finally got an olive jacket I'v wanted forever, and it matches Mae's

We bought a home!

Decorating is going well, and once it's all finished I will post more photos

Birthday Shopping with this cute girl, I bought her more stuff then myself as usual!

5 Months

This little girl is 5 months old today. Also I realize I can't spell the word month or as I spell it mothns but guess what, hopefully you didn't even notice cuz she's so cute!! It is crazy how times goes by so fast, but at the same time I can't imagine a time without Mae in our lives. She is really filling out, she looks huge compared to her one month photos. She has lots of nice rolls and a plump round face that I kiss a million times a day.

She...

loves to stand

usually sleeps for 6 hours straight at night

love chatting it up at night

little wiggly worm

love to try and roll over but can't seam to get her arm out of the way

she loves to eat her feet

she whines when we kiss her toooo much which happens often

she has figured out how to wiggle to a different spot on the floor not far though

she is super smiley and giggly when we play with her

Big update is she started teething, yikes, she is a little fussy. Always rubbing her gums together or with toys, drooling like crazy. I'm sure we won't see any actual teeth for a while but the process has started!

Mae was having what our paediatrician thought might be seizures, at first we weren't too worried about them but after two months she 2 in one day. So off to the pediatric neurologist we went, he said she looked perfectly healthy but wanted to do an EEG to make sure her brain was functioning properly.  It was a pretty intense test, they hooked her up to 22 electrodes and then let her sleep and at the end put a strobe light in front of her face to try and induce weird brain activity or a seizure. All her tests came back perfectly normal so for now we are going to keep enjoying our perfect little daughter and follow up with the specialist if the episodes get more intense.

This little Piggy

Mae found her toes last week and I just love watching her play with them. She loves trying to get them in her mouth, so far only successful once but I'm sure soon she'll literally put a foot in her mouth! I love her so much in hurts my heart, I have been so weepy these past few days thinking about a fellow blogger who lost her son. Every moment with this little ones counts and I feel so blessed to have the time that I do with her. I have a hard time not being afraid she might be taken away from me too soon. I pray that doesn't happen and my heart goes out to all who have experienced a loss like that. 

4 Months

Mae is just getting funner and cuter. She doesn't look totally impressed in the above photo but I got cuter ones below!

Loving her toys

Her favourite toy is her orb ball

She started to laugh last week, melts my heard

She has been trying to roller over but can't seam to get her arm out of the way

She is now 11 lbs and 24.5 inches

She sleeps through the night

She loves standing on our laps!

This teddy bear is mine from when I was little and my Mom hand sewed it, I just love seeing her love it like I did!!

Little fashion show! Does she not just have the sweetest face!

CUTEST LITTLE DANCE

I don't know how to get the sound to work but she does this cute little coo at the end and then has a big hiccup its much better with sound.

Mae is three months! I can't believe how the time keeps flying by, this posts is a little. If you haven't already watched the video above you're missing out. She is really starting to wiggle around like crazy somewhere between trying to fly and swimming it's the cutest thing. She is also a lot more talkative.

Milestones:

- Almost able to play with some of her rattles.

- Fits into her stroller, she was just way too tiny before

- A whopping 11 pounds!

- Graduated from newborn diapers into size 1

- Still wearing 0-3 month clothes

- She has let out some thrill little giggles

- Loves talking to Dad before bed

- Love Mom's kisses

- Screams her face off from either 9-12 or 11-1 depending on the day

- Sleep through the night after all her exhausting screaming!

Honest Company

Alright, I wanted to share my favourite diapers with you all! The Honest company diapers, they are chemical free and I feel like they compare to pampers which are me second favourite! 

I did the price checking and they are even cheaper then huggies which I didn't expect from a non-toxic environmental free diaper since I feel everything thats chemical free is always more expensive.

Also have I mention how cute the patterns are? You've probably seen them on Mae in her photos. I also love there healing balm, hand soap, and body wash. Needless to say I Highly Recommend there products.

You can order trials kits for just $5.95

Two Months

Well, it is hard to believe my little baby is two months already. We went for her two month check-up this morning and she is growing nicely. She seams huge compared to the little 4 lb 13 oz baby I brought home from the hospital. She is a hopping 9 lbs now! She is very long and skinny which makes fitting her into clothes hard, luckily carter makes their stuff skinner then other brands but everything still seams so wide for her.

She is smiling, real big smiles!!

She LOVES getting her diaper changes, weird kid

We finally got rid of our thrush

She loves kisses on her face and belly

She even has rolls on her legs and arms now

She has blue eyes like here Dad, but shaped like Mine 

(the colour could change though)

Her chin is exactly like her Dad's

She doesn't cry much but when she does she means it! Usually from trapped gas.

We are down to only one night feeding and then an early morning one, somehow I still feel completely sleep deprived though!

Look at those eyes, I just love how big and round they are!

I put her in some three months clothes just to see how they fit. Obviously a little big but not bad! 

Her newborn stuff fits much better though.

Bed time

I was looking through my phone and found a photo Taylor must have snapped of us while I was busy reading Mae a bedtime story. It's weird seeing a picture of me in the middle of a motherhood moment. I still feel too young to have my own little family and this sweet little person I made. Can't imagine spending my time any different now!!

Happy Valentine's Everyone

Nourishing Our Little Ones

Let me start by saying I not trying to start a debate on my blog, nor do I have anything against bottle or formula feeding a baby.

But...

Today I turned down an invitation out with a friend because I knew it was during a time when my daughter would need to eat. And what would I do, should I pump so I can bottle feed her, do I take that cover that makes feeding my baby a complete challenge and always end up with milk down the front of me after using it. I just won't go out so I don't have to breastfeed in public, or with others around.

I find myself not wanting to go out because I am afraid of feeding my own daughter with what God gave me, yup you guessed it. BREAST!

Someone of Facebook today compared breast feeding in public to pooping in public, "we know it happens but please do it at home." I was in shock that anyone would even associate the two and then publicly voice this sad opinion. I don't want to flaunt my breast in public no, not at all, but I do want to feel socially accepted for trying to be as modest as possible while feeding my little baby. They need to eat every 2-3 hours pretty hard to ever leave the house if were always expected to do that at home now isn't it.

I agree sometime if your not expecting it seeing a women breastfeeding can shock you for a second, but I hate to think that it is looked down on. But lets all try to be a little more polite and understanding of breastfeeding mothers. 

Do I need to even point out the hypocrisy in the world today!?

Mae - One Month

Can you believe my little girl is already one month old! It feels like she has been with us for longer then that, and yet I also feel she was just born yesterday.

She has grown out of her premie diapers, and some of her premie clothes too. She fits into most newborn clothes although some are still just too big to fit. 

She is a whopping 7 lbs now!

She has been such a blessing in our lives and I feel honored to have this little sweet spirit with us in our home. I just keep telling Taylor, "I made her from scratch!". It just seams so crazy that I made this little person, she is such a great baby as well. She doesn't cry much and only wakes up once or twice a night now.
