Naomi's Check-up Month 2

Well we have a happy and healthy little girl on our hands. Naomi's 2 month check up went very well, altho we were in the doctors office over an hour.
Naomi weighs in at 10lbs 14oz (49%) and 22 1/4 inches (43%) The doctor said everything looked great and the only thing she needed to work on was growing some hair. She did however leave taking 1 oral and 3 shots in her legs, when she cried after they poked her, it was a very sad cry, but after a little bouncing and shushing she didn't take long to calm right down.

Naomi is a blessing to have around, about 2-3 weeks ago she started to smile. It makes your heart smile just looking at it. Within the last week she's starting to make lil' noises too. So adorable, it's amazing to watch her grow, and we are excited to see the little person who God is molding her to be.

At the end of March, Naomi made her 2nd trip to the zoo, but her 1st time going to the Seattle Woodland Park Zoo. It was for my birthday, it rained, and was cold for most of our trip there. Most of the animals seemed to be "hiding" or "not on exhibit" but we had free tickets that was about to expire, and since i will be returning to work ....TOMORROW" :/ that day was the only day we could go. We enjoyed our time together as a family, and even tried the "Red Mill" for lunch, don't forget the free ice cream from "ColdStone" that i had - we brought home $30 worth of ice cream from Groupon, that i had bought a year ago, not realizing that they were only good for 1 location -in Seattle- so we now have a couple quarts of ice cream that we can snack on for the next month.

Last week I've also returned to work - a little sooner then i had hoped, but instead of taking all
of April off using my sick and vacation, i thought i would stretch it out a little and go back 2 days a week and using my 3rd day as a sick or vataion day, doing that for 4 months seemed to sound better. It wasn't too bad once I got there, it was nice to catch up with my co-workers, and it helped ALOT that daddy brought the girls in on my lunch for both days, talk about spoling me. :) It was great to see them, and while I'm still trying to breastfeed, it worked out well.

She's sleeping better through the night 5-6 hours. Did i mention how blessed I am? :) I've got 2 girls who are super sleepers. Around 8 even 9AM is our usual wake up time. I was reading on BabyCenter.com.....
An interesting note: Whether your baby is a night owl or a morning lark, a long sleeper or short sleeper, that pattern will probably stay the same throughout childhood.
Well I can't complain about that. :) Another side note: she seems to get the hip-ups on a daily basics, sometimes even more then once in a day, it's quite cute.

LilliAnn is offically:

LilliAnn is officially POTTY TRAINED!!! Horray!!! While we were working on potty training LilliAnn was wearing Slip-ons diapers...she still wasn't quite grasping the idea of going potty in the toilet, even tho we would ask her many times "do you have to go" Finally we just stuck her in big girl panties, and only used Slip-ons at night and when we went out of the house. LilliAnn had a few accidents, she didn't like the feeling of being wet, and wanted to be changed right away, while wadding like a duck until she had clean clothes on. It took about a week, and the accidents got fewer and farther between, by this week the 3rd week, we no longer have had to put "diapers" on...even at night we've been putting her in big girl panties, and she hasn't had an accident yet. She now tells us on her own "I need to go potty" :) *grin from ear to ear* PRESTO! LilliAnn always seems to adjust VERY well to the situations shes up against. This was another easy check off her "growing up list"

Her new favorite movie is Cinderella. Which she calls "Cinnamon-ella" What a great Disney classic to start off with. She LOVES to paint, and is pretty good at it too, she can paint/draw circles. And she LOVES to color, she is even starting to color in the lines.

This past week for my birthday, we headed out to the Woodland park zoo. It rained, and was cold for most of our trip there. Most of the animals seemed to be "hiding" or "not on exhibit" but we had free tickets that was about to expire, and since i will be returning to work ....TOMORROW" :/ that day was the only day we could go. We enjoyed our time together as a family, and even tried the "Red Mill" for lunch, don't forget the free ice cream from "ColdStone" that i had - we brought home $30 worth of ice cream from Groupon, that i had bought a year ago, not realizing that they were only good for 1 location -in Seattle- so we now have a couple quarts of ice cream that we can snack on for the next month.

LilliAnn i think is going through her "testing" phase. For the most part i have NO complaints, she is a very good hearted well behaved little girl, sometimes you just have to remind her, if she doesn't want to listen....she needs to go to her room.

She's somewhat picky on the things she likes to eat, i guess she can have her mommy to blame for that. But she's growing, so i know she's not starving, altho sometimes i wonder. If you were to ask her what she wants to eat, hands down she will tell you "cereal" breakfast-lunch or dinner. She'd eat it all the time i tell ya. She even likes the Frosted mini-wheat's, never thought a lil' kid would like shredded wheat cereal.

Oh, yes how can i forget! She went to the Dentist for the 1st time. That previous week I had went to the dentist, when i told her, she was sooo excited and very interested. I asked her if she wanted to go. Every day for that whole week, that's all she talked about. She was very excited to see the dentist. She wanted to brush her teeth "all sparkly clean" for the dentist. When we finally went there, they had toys for her to play with till it was her turn. Finally we go back, the assistant was very nice, and let her pick out a colored tooth brush, and a flavor. They brushed her teeth, and looked inside her mouth, and even flossed. She even got to watch a movie "the little mermaid" while they checked out her teeth. Dr. Beck came to look at them, he was very nice also, gave her a sticker, and used the word "Silly" a couple times. He said her teeth were a little crowed, but other then that, she had beautiful teeth.
