One, Two, Three

I want to be able to remember all the baby things we used a ton with our sweet Quinny. I'd like to do this post every 3ish months to see how much things change. I'm sure I'll look back on this in a year and try to remember how she ever fit in any of it. Sweet baby girl is growing SO fast!! :)


There are two essentials we use multiple times a day - Pampers Swaddler diapers and Huggies Sensitive Skin wipes. Otherwise, the items we can't seem to live without at the moment are:


Pack-n-Play --- Quinny sleeps in this every night so I don't have to hike it across the house to get to her when she wakes up. We're still working on sleeping through the night. :)

Boppy Lounger --- Quinny is JUST LIKE HER DADDY and snores if she lays flat. So, we lay her on this in the pack-n-play. It's so awesome!!

Boppy Pillow --- this really helps when breast-feeding or when Quinny wants to be propped up to see everything (or just the fan mostly) :)

Fleece blankets --- I'm sure Quinn would do just fine if we laid her directly on the couch or the bed, but we don't really ever do that. She's pretty much always on one of her ridiculously soft blankets. 

Footed PJs --- Quinny is like her Mommy and her feet are always cold. She likes to kick everything off her legs so she sleeps in footed PJs to make sure she stays plenty warm

Chicco Stroller --- her car seat fits right in this and it's SO awesome!! We love to take walks and her Nanny and Papa also love to take her walking

Bath Tub --- this was never used in the beginning. She always just got in the bath with me, but we've now discovered how much she loves bathing in her bath in the sink. It's big, but she loves it!

Hooded towels --- they're awesome. and cute. best of both worlds!

Burts Bees Body Wash & Shampoo --- it smells SO good and is great for sensitive skin. I could just kiss sweet Quinny for hours after bath time because she smells so good!

Gum Drop Paci --- we've left this at home once. NEVER.AGAIN.

Dr. Brown Bottles --- a few parts, but the dishwasher seems to clean it all just fine :)

Bouncer/Vibrating Chair ---- Quinny stays content in this for quite a while!

Activity Mat --- this didn't go over very well at first, but now Quinn will stare and try to grab at the toys hanging down

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT KIM!!!!!!

We hope you had an awesome day!

We love you!!!!!!

TWO Months

Sweet Quinn, during your second month of life:

-You are wearing 0-3 and some 3-6 month clothing. Different stores definitely have completely different sizing.
-You are wearing a size 1 diaper.
-You are up to 11 lbs 9.5 oz - 75 percentile!

-You are 23.5 inches long - also 75 percentile!

-Your head size is also 75 percentile, but I forgot the exact measurement
-You are still taking breast milk exclusively and nurse and take a bottle really well. You eat every 3 hours during the day and will go anywhere between 3-6 hours at night.
-You took your first bottle from your Daddy last month and have been able to take it from just about anyone this month! You drink between 3-4 oz each feeding, but will only drink from your Dr. Brown bottles.
-You're still sleeping in the pack-n-play at night. Our goal is to get you to your crib when you start sleeping through the night. Hopefully that will be soon! :)
-You like to be REALLY warm (almost to full on sweating) at ALL times. You let us know if you get cold! We're very thankful for all the blankets you received as gifts!!
-You have really starting smiling and cooing a lot more this month. You are SO happy when you wake up. You look at me and your Daddy and just talk. It's the sweetest and best start to every morning! You are always really happy before and after feedings as well.
-Your little legs barely ever stop kicking. We've put a full comforter folded into a square over your legs and you kicked it right off. Your Daddy says you're getting ready to be his power lifting buddy. :)

-You can roll yourself right over with those strong legs. We definitely were not expecting that!
-You like to stare at our bedroom curtains, the fan, and any light. You focus so hard!
-Your neck is so strong and you can hold your head up really well now.

-You are not a fan of tummy time for very long anymore. You start crying pretty quickly.
-Your eyes are starting to turn more like Mommy's grey-blue color. They're still pretty bright, but not nearly as much as when you were born.
-You love your bouncy seat and swing. We've tried the bumbo, but you just screamed until we picked you up.
-You are officially in love with the paci. You don' have to have it all times though, because you'll stick your full hand in your mouth. I was afraid you would be a thumb sucker, but you prefer the paci now.
-You do really well riding in the car for the most part. You let us know when you're done tho!
-You LOVE bath time. You get so relaxed and do not want out. Most bath times end in you crying. 

-You love to see Daddy when he comes home from work. This was Mommy's last month home with you:(

-You love to be held. This is mostly Mommy's fault. :)

-You prefer to only be in your diaper with blankets over you, but Mommy still loves to dress you up and put a bow on! 

-You immediately pull any bow down over your eyes.

-You sneeze and have the hiccups ALL.THE.TIME.

-You've had gripe water and gas drops, because your little belly gets really hard and gassy. :(

Your two month appointment went very well until the shots. Nanny went with us for moral support. You were so happy and then the nurse came in with three shots and an oral vaccine. You kept spitting the oral vaccine out. :) The screaming after shots was SO loud. If you were old enough for ice cream Mommy would have treated you to a special snack. It will come soon enough! The DR said everything looked great and you're passing milestones right on track. 

Sweet Quinny, your Mommy and Daddy are so thankful for you. You are the joy in our lives and we love every second we get to spend with you. Our love grows for you every day, and we cannot wait to see what all is in store for you. I have a feeling your sweet little life is going to be filled with plenty of personality and spunk from you!
