4 and a half months old!

I am a little behind on updating our blog. A lot has been going on, but here are some cute pictures of Neva. She recently had her 4 month check up and here are some of her stats:

Weight: 18.10 100th percentile

Height: 26.5 inches 99th percentile

I can't remember what her head was haha

She is so heavy! It has been EXTREMELY difficult to carry her in her car seat and to even put her in the car! It is such a workout just to take her to the store! I don't know how you moms do it when you have more than one child!

Neva is 3 months old!

For FHE last week we went to our good friends Tina and Tyrell's house to eat pizza and decorate Christmas cookies. We had a lot of fun with them.

Niccole's final product

Neva and daddy's cookies!

Here is a brief update on our lives this past month.

Nothing too spectacular has happened lately, except for Neva's cute new developments. These are a few of the things Neva does now:

She loves it when we read books to her. Well, mostly she likes looking at and grabbing the colorful pages, which leads me to the next thing:

She has been grabbing things and playing with her toys. Just about all of it goes straight to her mouth. She always has a huge smile on her face and loves it when you give her attention! Since she was 2 months old she has been laughing. It is so funny! Lately we have been putting her in the swing on the highest speed and she just thinks it is the funniest thing. She will laugh for about 10 minutes straight. It's hilarious! When she wakes up from her naps she will usually just lay there and babble to herself until mommy or daddy comes to get her. And when she sees us walk in her face lights up with a huge smile and she will let out an excited yelp! She likes spending time with her daddy when he doesn't have to work. But I hardly ever know what he is saying to her because it is always in spanish.

She has been in size three diapers for the last 3 weeks. She's a huge baby haha! At her 2 month check up the pediatrician said that she was off the charts for her weight and height. She was in the 110th percentile at 16 pounds haha. She obviously gets enough to eat. I think all of the extra fat she has on her helps her sleep longer at night because she sleeps 10-12 hours every night! It has been so nice. I don't think we could have asked for an easier baby. She has been so wonderful. We just love her so much and are so glad she is apart of our little family. We will be flying home to Riverside for christmas next week and are a little nervous for Neva's first flight. Hopefully she sleeps the whole way. We hope everyone has a fun and safe Christmas!

Story Time!

What a Happy Girl!!

What a Great Daddy!

Not even 2 months and already 15 pounds!!

15 pounds of juicy sweetness!! I love this girl so much! She has been so much fun to have in our family. Not only does she eat well, but she sleeps well (last night she slept for almost 10 hours!!) She loves her sleep just like her daddy :) I don't think she ever really was a newborn. She basically skipped the newborn size diapers and went right into size ones. At 7 weeks she is already in size twos!! She is also busting out of all her clothes and is now wearing size 3-6 months. What a chunk! She loves nursing and loves her pacifier. For the last couple weeks it was really sad because she wouldn't go to Tim. She would scream at the top of her lungs if I handed her off to him. As soon as I would take her back she would stop crying haha. We think she was afraid of him because he was gone working a lot and got used to me and my high pitched girl voice. So Tim has been making sure to spend extra time with her so she gets used to him, and we can already see a difference. Now she is starting to love chillin with her daddy. Neva has been smiling a ton and last night was the first time she laughed. It was the cutest and funniest thing! We have been trying to take advantage of the last of the warm weather before winter hell hits and take her on as many walks as we can. It's starting to get really cold outside and inside our apartment. I'm always paranoid at night that my little chunk isn't warm enough, so I pile on all the blankets. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to keep your baby warm enough at night when it gets to below zero weather outside?? Her room is always the coldest because our windows suck. I could really use some good advice before the Rexburg winter hits. Thanks

4 weeks

Neva has been such a great baby! She has been sleeping 7 hours at night lately, and it is GREAT! She also is a HUGE baby, weighing almost 13 pounds already! At her last check up the pediatrician said that she was in the 97th percentile for her weight. What a chunk!
