Growing up too quick

Chesney is growing up right before our eyes. It seems like overnight she went from our little 3 pounder to now 11 pounds and rolling over. Ches has always been very squirmy and everyone has always told me once she gets going to watch out. Well she is pretty much rolling over she can get from her tummy to her back and almost all the way back but she can't figure out how to get over her arm. She loves to talk and when she is upset it is more of a yelling fit then crying fit. We are going on tuesday to get another RSV shot and then off to St. George, for a little rest and relaxation. Can't wait for Mom, Judd and Dad to see her and how much she has changed!! And maybe for me to get in a nap or two!!!

Days go by...

Time seems to be flying since I became a mom. I kinda want time to stand still, everyone keeps saying before I know it she will be going off to school. I want her to stay little and cuddly for atleast a little while longer. She is loving to look at everything and everyone, she is so aware of her surrondings. She has started smiling and cooing, it is so cute. Hope to put up a video of her soon, but as soon as the camcorder comes out she just stares at it! She should in no way be camera shy as many pics as she gets taken. Chesney is 5 months old as of monday! I can't believe it!! She has gotten over the colic and has been a really good baby. She is sleeping about 6 to 7 hours at night, I don't know what to do with my self, she also naps really good during the day. For the last couple days she had started being fussy again and was not eating but every 6 hours and that was a struggle to get her to eat then. I just knew something was wrong but didn't know if I was overacting or what. Well it was that thing they call mothers instinct!! Next time I will listen to it much sooner! Poor little thing has an ear infectiona, that is why she was not eating, hurts her to suck. Well we got her on anitbiotics and some numbing drops and now she is making up for the 4 days of not eating!! Chesney has been getting RSV shots she has had two already and we go again the first of Feb to get another, then two more in March and she will be done. It is so hard to watch her get stuck and be in pain, but I try to tell her it is much better then if she got sick! We went for her 4 month check up the begining of January! Besides getting lots of shots the doctor said she is doing great. She is doing some of the things that four month olds do which he was impressed with. She even measured on the 4 month old scale for her height, weight and head. Her head was in the 90th percentile, she has a big head :) which he said was great cause preemies usually have little heads. Her heighth was in the 50th percentile and her weight was in the bottom 25th. Which is great that she even in on that scale!! He said to make it thru winter and then we could start letting her have visitors and maybe even take her out in public!!! Like I will :) I am a bit overprotective!! Well that is it for now, just thought I would take a minute inbetween diaper changes, laundry, cleaning, feeding, and everything else that comes with this full time job, to update the blog. You happy Judd???

Lots of Pics

Chesney is growing growing growing!! She is about 10 pounds now! She is starting to smile, and everytime she does it melts my heart, never knew a smile could make me so happy!!

FIRST FAMILY PICS

Really?? It's December!!!

Well the last little while has flown by....the days all seem to blend together, especially with a crying baby! I do want her to stay little forever but at this point I want her to hurry up and grow out of this crying thing! Everyone says it will get better.........Other then that she is doing very good, she has grown out of newborn clothes havent weighed her lately, we try not to do anything that will make her mad. HA Ha we already are doing everything her way. That is why there hasn't been too many posts, sure you all dont want to see pics of a baby crying. We are having less and less crying, well on somedays!! Nothing else too new in our world.

The cutest face I have ever seen!!

Ready to Hibernate, see ya in the Spring

I know this is blurry but I wanted to show off the cubby face we are getting

Thanks mom for on the food and hard work that went into it, we love you

Attempt at a Family Picture

Impossible to get a pic of her without her sticking that tongue out

Her tongue is half as long as her face, guess we know she got one thing from her mom

First Dress and First Thanksgiving

We are so ready for life to slow down for a little while and have things get back to normal, whatever normal may be. We moved into a new place the weekend before Thanksgiving, then we headed to mom's and stayed there for 10 days, and to have Turkey day there. It was a great time just relaxing and be in warmer weather. On Thanksgiving day Matt's Dad Kirby passed away after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was so strong, stronger then anyone I know, he went thru alot and it is comforting to know that he is no longer in pain. We will do everything we can to make sure that Chesney knows how great of a man her grandpa was. He got to see her about a week before he passed, he said how beautiful she was and that he loved her so much. I know that he will be watching over her!! We attended the funeral in Salt Lake and then went to the graveside in Duchesne. Mom and Judd came up to watch Chesney, I don't know what I would do with out them. Sure they are sick of me by now. I am thinking we just need to purchase a small airplane for all the traveling we do. Or just move closer :) Chesney is doing great. Mom commented on her little rolls on her legs, they are so cute and fun to see her getting chubby! She is up to 8.5 pounds! Not sure how long she is but it seems like she is growing taller faster then she is growing out!! Nothing else really new with her which is good. She is still have her night time crying which hopefully she will just grow out of. We tried the formula and she did not want to take it at all, so guess I will just keep trying here and there. Last time we went to the doc he said we needed to make it through the winter keeping he quarentined and then she should be able to be around people. It has been so hard not being able to show her off!! But it is what is best for her. So we are going into our little cave and will come out when the flowers do!! We will see how that goes! She is going to be going in to get her RSV shots soon, they are pretty expensive but well worth it. I am definatley making Matt go with me after our last shot experience. Well enough for now. I am gonna post some pics, pretty funny ones I think. If you know Chesney she has always played with her tongue even when she was so tiny and in the NICU. It is her bestfriend. So we were trying to take pics of her in her first dress on thanksgiving and you will see what we got. So cute!!
