Khloe is 1 month old!!!

Ok guys sorry for not updating more often. I thought I would have time to update this blog at least every few days while on maternity leave, wow was I wrong!! As some of you mom's already know your time is not your own anymore. I think that is the hardest thing I have had to learn. There's no more jumping in the car and running to pick up milk or a few items at the grocery store, or going to get my hair cut whenever I needed to like before or even the occasional treat to the nail salon. As I found out the other day just to run and make a deposit at the bank takes a calculated prep time of over an hour to leave the house :0, I am sure I will get better at this. But it is all worth it when you watch her eyes open big when I pick her up from a nap as if to say "oh great Mama is here now" or that smile of satisfaction after her first few GULPS of her bottle. She is so cute and I love just holding her soft satin little hands and feet when I'm feeding her. It is such a blessing from God to have received such a good little girl, I know I have done NOTHING to deserve such a good baby as my brother Brock so painfully pointed out, LOL ;) But you know he is absolutely right!

I want to share a sweet little story from this morning. Paul had given her a bottle last night while I was asleep around 12:30am and then put her down to sleep. She slept all the way until about 6am when I heard her grunting and moaning and thought she was just trying to poop so I left her alone until I heard her start to cry around 6:15am. When I picked her up she smiled at me and started to try and suck on the side of my neck, I giggled and looked at her as I walked to the kitchen to get her bottle (we have about 2 min before a complete meltdown) she was moving her head from side to side and sticking her tongue in and out and looked like she was wanting to eat anything in her path...she reminded of the old video game Ms. Pac Man ready to chomp and devour anything in sight, I laughed so hard and loud I think I startled her. She looked and smiled and continued her Ms. Pac Man face until I put the bottle in her mouth I thought she would suck the whole bottle in her tiny little mouth. She is so funny when it comes to eating!!
I have taken a few random pictures of her over the last week or so. I got a few of her on her tummy mat for the first time...SHE DID NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL!! I also tried to get a few of her in some adorable outfits we have for her before she outgrows them. Oh by the way she had her 1 month appt on Monday 5/10 and she is now 10 lbs 6 oz and is 22 inches long now. She has her next appt on 5/28 to get about 5 of her vaccine shots before we go to FL to spend time with my brother Paul and his family and April and her family and my mom and Terry. That should be a lot of fun!!!
Khloe's 1st tummy time on her new play mat...she is mad!










Maxx trying to lick Khloe's feet during her 2nd try at tummy time exercise's. He is not a dog that EVER licks anyone but with Khloe we have caught him trying to lick her ear or her feet whenever he gets the chance, maybe that's his way of showing his love for her!



I just LOVE this outfit, it is so adorable! FYI tummy time was not as effective with a pasifier (sp?) in her mouth LOL! She was not working on her neck muscles or upper body strength at all just content to have her pasy!














The 3 us went to Piedmont park on Mother's day after our late lunch together.









Her new purple dress I love so much!










This bib is so funny, we got a huge pack of them that all say crazy things like..."high chair hottie", or " attitude problem", or "no autographs please"



Typical right before her bottle....









And after her few GULPS of her bottle when she smacks her lips in satisfaction!!






I will try and take more pictures of her over the next few days and post shortly. Thanks everyone for checking in on our blog, We love you all!
