Bad Mom and a sleepy Bug

OK, so first and for most, I totally suck lately. My blogging has gotten really slow and I'm so terrible at taking pictures! What is wrong with me? Does this make me a bad mom or what? I guess Bud and I are just so in love with this little angel that our eyes are so drawn to her and I don't want to take them off of her to go grab my camera. Also, I feel like all the pictures I do take look the same as the ones I've already taken. I know she's changing rapidly, but I feel like every picture I take looks the same. Even for Halloween, she was so freakin cute, but we were so involved in her and going from place to place, that I was only able to get 2 pictures of her! I totally suck.
On top of all that though, I dropped my camera and thought I broke it. Well, I kind of did, but it's still functioning enough to take pictures. My heart just sank when I watched it fall from the table to the cement floor. The lens was open and everything. So it tweaked the lens and it gets stuck from time to time. I guess we'll have to save for a super nice camera now (since we have to save for one anyways, I'd like to pick out and get a really nice one this time. So no family members get any ideas, we'd like to pick it out and get it!).
So here are some pictures that I know everyone has probably been anxiously awaiting.

Our cute little Bug on Halloween


So snuggly in her swing! Thanks Lyn and Gretchen! She LOVES it!

She is still such and awesome sleeper. Just last night she slept from 10/10:30 to 5/5:30, ate and then went back to sleep till 8:30!! I love her!! Her naps throughout the day have been a little off since the time change. Not that she has specific times that she sleeps, but it's as if she's just not napping at all during the day. A 20 minute nap here, a 20 minute nap there, just a couple times a day is all it is right now. But she's not fussy about it, so it fine with me. She's just a very alert, happy baby. But today I got her to finally take a long nap in her crib!



We love her so much we can't stand it!

We call her a grown up baby

She is growing so fast. She can now sit in her Bumbo seat for short periods of time (cause she gets sit of it after a little bit). She is so active and loves to sit up and look all around. Her neck, even though she can hold it up for the most part, still isn't perfectly strong, so she gets this attitude head bob going on and gives these awesome expressions at the same time. It looks as if she's got a lot to say about something and she gets her attitude head bob going. It's funny. It looks like an adult most of the time, so that's why we call her the grown-up baby.
Her appetite has also increased a lot. Ever since I had to start supplementing her, I decided just to do both bottle and breast because she was use to the extra and pumping and other supplements weren't helping my supply. So I was doing both and still am, but now it's mostly formula because she is SO hungry all the time. I'm not all that excited about it, but with a fast, hungry, growing girl, I gotta do what I gotta do and my body is not doing what it's suppose to do. Oh well. At least she's growing and healthy. I'm still going to give her whatever I have from myself, just for the goodness of it!
Anyway, with all this hunger she has, she's been eating more and the other night her belly was so big and she didn't even spit any of it up! I was surprised given that she's a big spitter. So here are some of those pictures.





Such a cute sleeper


"Heeeeyyyy!"

I love these jammies!

What a disappointment

OK, so of course we took Izzy to the pumpkin patch for her first Halloween and what an ugly disappointment. Almost all the pumpkins were GREEN! I couldn't believe it. They were so ugly. Only the super little ones were normal. So we just took pictures of her. Oh and "accidentally" walked out with a little one inch pumpkin. She had a good time though and once we got home she talked and laughed with her play singing dog for the longest time. We have some video of it. I'll try and post it, but I always have trouble with the videos. We'll see.



Oops! I broke it!

Forgot these cute pictures

So precious. I need to frame this one! Too bad it's kind of blurry.

These are her thug pictures. Her hat kept coming off.


Shopping tuckers her out!

This is how she fell asleep in Target.

I know, I know...It's been too long

OK, so I have totally been slacking. I have a few good excuses though, but all in all, I'm bummed I haven't been blogging more. So here is an update.
We took a quick trip up to Tahoe the beginning of the month for a wedding. What a wonderful weekend to go too because we were there for their first snow! There must have been about 6 inches of snow. Izzy was alseep for most of her first trip to the snow, but we took plenty of pictures.





We had a good time and shorty after we returned home, I got sick. I got the flu real bad. Luckly, not swine flu, and also, Izzy was SO good while I was sick.
She is such a snuggler, which is totally cute, but makes it hard when you need to get some things done and she just wants to be held. But while I was sick, she let me lay her down next to me and she would just look out the window and coo or take really good naps.


She has started smiling and "talking" more which has been so much fun. She has also developed really good head control. It's not mastered yet, but it's really good and the doctors say she's awesome! She is so dang cute and we don't know what we ever did without her.





Her hair is slowing lightening up and her eyes are taking their sweet time determining their color. At this point they are looking like they will either be green like her daddy's or possible hazel like my dad's. I'm thinking they won't be turning brown just cause they are on the lighter side. Which is ok with me cause I wanted her to have green eyes anyway. But they are just doing their own thing right now.
We started having some tummy time on the Boppy and she has really been enjoying that and it gives me a few minutes of free hands to get some things done. However, she has some quick, strong legs and loves to kick them. During one of her tummy time sessions, I looked over to see that she had kicked herself over the front of the Boppy. I laughed so hard. She didn't seem to mind, but boy was it funny.



She has FINALLY gotten back up to her birth weight (6 weeks later). Right before she was 5 weeks she was weighing in at 9lbs 10oz and a week later she was 10 lbs 4oz. She's a growin girl now!
I think that's about it on the updates. I'm feeling a lot better now and thank goodness Izzy didn't get sick. All is well in our little family now!

Little Ms. Bug

Our little girl is growing up so fast. It's almost been a month already! It's gone by so fast. She's getting closer and closer to finding and keeping her thumb in her mouth. She's holding her head up more and hopfully by next weeks appoinmtment she'll be back up to her birth weight. She's such a good girl and we're so blessed to have her. Oh and we call her Bug because she is such a gassy little girl, we call them toot-tooter bugs, and it's transitioned to Bug. Mommy and Daddy's name for her. That and "Pungkin".
Mommy and Bug

So precious

Her favorite thing until she has control over her hands and can suck her thumb!

Mommy love!

Love this face!

Curly hair after a bath!

Just chilaxin.

Tired of chilaxin

Loves her new swing. For a little while at least.

This is Grace and Izabella, both 3 weeks old. They are only 4 days apart.

This is Izzy's first cake. My mom made it. She use to make all of our cakes when we were little, so of course we have to continue the tradition. Every year she'll get a special cake made by Mimi!

Making faces and just haning out!

She was in this position for the whole time she was eating. It was so funny. Legs sticking straight out!

Look at that squishy face! I love it!
