First Food

Irelynn had her first cereal this last weekend. We have been giving a little to her everyday since and she seems to be getting better at it. I'm looking forward to her trying the new foods.

Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween!

4 Months

Irelynn turned 4 months old last sunday. She now weighs 14 lbs 2 ozs. Here is a video of her playing with her toys on her 4 month bday. I love her more and more everyday.

Sick Little Baby

Irelynn was sick this week with a cold. I think this was actually her second cold. I'm not sure though. About 6 weeks ago, she seemed like she had a cold for a day and 2 nights but it went away really fast and was really mild. I thought maybe it was allergies? My allergies were really bad at that time....but her dad was sick at that time too. Last weekend, Raeleigh came to visit. Whenever anyone is sick, I make sure they are very far away from my little Irelynn. Yes, I'm crazy, but I don't care. Most of the time I move out of the house when Jeremy is sick. The last time he was sick, I moved to my mom's house and she got sick so then I moved to my brother, Tighe's house. So anyway, Raeleigh came on Friday night and she was just fine. Then late on Saturday night I started hearing a cold coming through. Jeremy just thought I was paranoid. No.....I know these things! I'm a mother! Anyway, Jeremy figured out I was right after he had a rough night with Raeleigh waking up several times. Turns out she was getting a cold and puking. Oh what fun. So I just waited. I knew Irelynn would get it since 5 year olds can not keep their hands off of babies and had been all over her on Saturday. Jeremy started getting the cold on Monday and then I heard it start with Irelynn on Tuesday night. Atleast it was just the cold and not throwing up. It wasn't too bad of a cold but I know I hate being sick so I'm sure she does too. She hates the snot sucker too. She just screams at me but I have to get all that junk out of her little nose. She is doing much better now. Its pretty much gone. We will see how the rest of the winter goes.

Its been awhile

I don't know where the time goes! Here are a few recent pictures. Irelynn is growing out of all her 0-3 month clothes. I guess she is right on schedule with that. She is starting to grab more at her toys and likes to play in her baby gym. She is still sleeping really well at night. She has just started to wake up an extra time during the night for a feeding but she always goes to sleep fast while she is eating. She doesn't really like to sleep during the day time and tries to fight the naps. She may take 2 or 3 half hour or hour naps but that is about it.

We still have her on the baby zantac for reflux. She still does the cough/gag thing but it doesn't happen as much as it used to. Hopefully she is growing out of it. I can't wait until she doesn't do that anymore. I'm looking forward to starting her on some baby cereal at the end of this month when she turns 4 months old.

My First Swing

Cousin Leo showed me how the big kids swing. It was pretty fun until I got hungry!
