Concerns.....

I know I shouldn't be worrying about this and I have received a lot of reassurance but I still can't stop thinking about it. Kailin is a big time spitter upper :) and she only eats around once every 3 to 4 hours. If she eats more she gets a tummy ache and is grumpy. I was thinking that she was growing well and then I have seen my friends and family members babies that are younger than her and they are bigger by at least 2 lbs. It is crazy because she was born 8lbs 6 oz and at her two month appt only weighed 9lbs 12 oz, only one lb and 6 oz bigger. I have a friend whose baby was born the same day and he is now over 13lbs at his two month appt. I know it probably doesn't matter that she went from the 65% to the 25% in weight, our pediatrician didn't seem too worried but for some reason it worries me. Another concern I have is her right eye. It gets really gupy(not a word but a lot of drainage) I massage her tear duct and can't seem to unclog it. Any suggestions from moms who have had this with their babies would be great.
She will probably be a petite firecracker :). She does an awesome job holding up her head and she will stand on your lap if you let her. To help me feel better I have included a list for you of things she likes currently:

• When daddy comes home she smiles
• Loves to have the blanket over her face to sleep(placed there by herself)
• Loves dark colors
• Loves Tucan the Parrot on her swing
• Loves her swing
• Calms down the minute I start running pushing her in her stroller
• Loves to be outside
• Bath time

Things she doesn't like:

Being Cold

Being really tired

Sore tummy

Guess who is Two months

This picture was taken on June 7th when Kailin was exactly two months old.

Thats right. Kailin is actually a little over two months but I wanted to wait for her 2 month appt before I updated some information on her. Here are her stats from the appt:
Weight: 9lbs 12 oz 25%
Height: 22 1/4 in 50%
Head Circumference: 39 cm 65%

Bozeman, Montana

Kailin and I just made our first trip to Montana this past weekend to visit my brother James and his family. Kailin did awesome on the 7 1/2 hour trip
(one way). Kailin has two cousins: "hank" who is 1 month younger and bigger and Annie who is 19 months. It was so much fun to see them interact with each other.

Playing in the Park

Some of our Best friends Brett,Robin and Kiley just moved to Rifle Colorado. It was really sad to see them go but we are excited for the opportunities that they have. We were able to hang out quite a bit and here are some pictures of us playing at the park.

Visiting Grandpa Browne

Here are some pictures from visiting my Grandpa Browne. His health isn't too good so my mom and I were happy to go and see him. It was the first time he had seen Kailin.

Photos by Jenny

Here are some professional pictures we had taken of Kailin by Jenny Esterbrook. She is located in Twin Falls, Idaho and does an amazing job. Kailin struggled a bit but Jenny was so patient and got some really sweet pictures. These were taken when Kailin was 6 weeks old.

This picture is so sad but I love it :)










This is Kailins blessing dress made by my mom. I absolutely love it!

Shannon Family Visiting end of April

We were blessed to have family visit the last week of April for Kailins baby blessing. I got some really sweet pictures and I haven't had the chance to add them on here yet so here you go. Kailin was lucky enough to get a lot of hugs and kisses and she loved them all. Poor girl struggled some so people weren't able to hold her too much but the time she was given loves was wonderful.

Kailins aunt Brandi loves babies. I was so impressed by how good she was with Kailin. Whenever Kailin would start crying Brandi was right there to help and she would click her tongue to get Kailin to calm down. Thank you Brandi it helped a lot.


I think it is safe to say that our nephew Brayden(blonde hair) is the chef in the family.Since I first met him when he was 3 he has always liked to help in the kitchen. Here he is helping Nana and Colby make fruit pizza.
