I'm Falling Apart!

I'm literally falling apart. My feet hurt, my knees hurt, my hips hurt, my back hurts, my wrists hurt, and my head hurts. When I get up in the middle of the night to feed Emily, I can almost hear my bones creak and my muscles stretch. Either it's the weather or our bed. Not sure which. I wouldn't mind getting a new bed, so if anyone would like to donate to the Chrissy Hill's Bad Back Foundation, let me know.

This photo doesn't have anything to do with my post, but hey, gotta have the Emily photo!

Okay, if she's a blur now, what's she going to be like when she's actually mobile? Oh my...

3 Months Old

Emily's Point of View

Last night I was being kind of a pain. I was crying for no reason. My mom had changed my diaper, fed me, and even bounced me. I just felt like crying. So, because I cried, Momma gave me cake!


I was like, "What the...? Cake for crying?!?"


Okay, I guess I'll just have to cry more often. I couldn't eat it, but mmmm, it sure looked and smelled good.

Fireworks!!!

We went to Aaron and Tammie's neighborhood's fireworks show on Saturday night. We met at their house for ice cream (YUM!) and then we all went to the park to see the show. We had fun watching the fireworks with Aaron, Tammie, Nick, Carter, Michael, Michael TOM, Jason, Lori, Randy, and Elizabeth. We were afraid Emily would be scared of the loud noise the fireworks made, but she loved watching them. She was very quiet and she just stared at the lights.

Cute Bath Time Photos

Look at the Big Girl!!!

Look at the difference a week makes! She is doing so great on her tummy time! I think she's growing up too fast. She'd better stop it!!! Emily is trying her hardest to laugh but she still hasn't mastered it. The one thing that really makes her smile and coo is for me to say, "Can you say ooooooh?" She just grins and nearly laughs. Her eyes get all teary from her trying to talk back. Man, I love this little girl.

The Bumbo

Isn't that the cutest little chair? Lori and Randy bought one for Elizabeth and I took Emily over to try it out. She seems to think it's pretty neat. We're going to get one soon.

Emily is sleeping a lot today. I think she's going through a growth spurt. I weighed her yesterday and she's getting close to twelve pounds.

She's so cute...

Yesterday Emily and I went for a walk down to the mailbox. Since it was so sunny, I put a hat on her. It was so CUTE!!! The hat was a little big so it covered basically her whole head and whenever she'd turn her head, the hat would stay put. I was laughing all the way to the mailbox.

Some Pictures

Cranky!!


Naptime


Super Girl!


Tummy Time


Cute Face

Poo Face

Here is what Emily's face looks like when she goes poo. It's so funny when she does it and I finally got a good picture of it.

Two Month Doctor's Visit

Emily had her two month checkup today. She now weighs 11 pounds, 3 ounces and she's 23 1/2 inches long. She got her shots, too. She cried a little. She did really well. When we got home she went down for a nap and slept for 4 1/2 hours! She woke up and acted like her little thighs hurt really bad. I felt so helpless. I cried a little when she cried. Breaks my heart. And she's asleep again right now. I hope she sleeps tonight! Poor Little Bit. I've got some movies lined up in case we have a long night.


Emily's bandaids--Tazmanian Devil and Peanuts

Swan Dive

It took me a long time to get Emily down for her nap this afternoon. I'd hold her until she'd fall asleep and then I'd try to put her down and she'd wake up. Then she'd wet her diaper. Then she was hungry. Then she'd fall asleep and I'd lay her down and the whole cycle would begin again. So, this time I held her until she was asleep and then I laid down with her on my chest. She woke up. This time she was MAD! When Emily gets mad she arches her back and wails. Well, with her on my chest it looked like a swan dive pose: arched back, chest up, head up, arms out, toes pointed. It was a beautiful dive, but she would have scored higher had her toes been pointed and not wiggling. What's funny is she would cry, take a breath and her head would get lower, cry, take a breath, head get lower until finally it came to rest on my shoulder and she was fast asleep. Weird child.

Ahhh, success!


This isn't her swan dive pose, but this is what she looks like when she's mad.


This evening we're going to meet Scott Biggs and his family for dinner. I think Rudy Mendoza and his family and Zack Mendoza are going to be there as well. It's been a long time since I've seen them; I wonder if they'll remember me. We're going to Chic-Fil-A. YUM.

Pretty Dress

I guess Emily likes dresses as much as I do. She looked so cute today for church, but each time I tried to take her picture she'd get fussy. She did pretty good at church today--we made it through Sunday School. We usually only get through Sacrament Meeting. There were a lot of babies at church today and she loved looking at them.

2 Months Old!!!

Emily is two months old! She's getting so big! I was getting tired of Emily only wearing onsies, so I put a cute pair of shorts on her and the new sandals that Nana bought. She looked pretty cute...then she pooped. I realized that I didn't want to keep taking off and putting on the shorts every time she pottied, so they're back in the drawer and Emily is back to wearing a onsie. Oh well.

Fun Day at the Mall

We had a fun outing yesterday. Emily, Nana and I met Kelly, Corgan, Danielle and Evan at Grapevine Mills Mall. We walked around and went into various shops. We rode the carousel. Emily seemed to like to watch things go by. I kind of wanted to get car sick. What a wuss!

I think we wore Miss Emily out yesterday. She didn't get much of a nap, just little snoozes here and there. She went to bed at about eight last night and slept until midnight to eat and get changed, slept until four for dinner and diaper, slept until seven, ate, and went back to sleep and is still asleep--it's 9:40 now. Poor little girl!

Cutie!

Funny Faces!

Emily and I were just chillin' this afternoon and I was capturing her various facial expressions. I caught some doozies! She'd make a funny face and I'd start laughing and then she'd make another and I'd laugh even harder. I had tears running down my face! She's so cute!

Break Time!

Ahhh, Emily is napping! She's in her swing and she's fast asleep! I should be getting stuff done around the house, but I don't wanna. Instead, I'm editing pictures and updating my blog.

We're having fun with our digital camera. We have taken so many pictures of Emily...soooo many! Well, she's cute and we can't help it.

Poor Chrissy

We've been short on cash lately and last night I had a sweet tooth attack and wanted something sweet right then. I went rummaging through drawers and jeans looking for any kind of cash. I was hoping to find a dollar or two and I ended up finding $22!! It was in a pair of pregnancy pants. I'd already put my pregnancy pants away in a box, so that goes to show how desperate I was to find money. I was so excited to find the cash that I hopped around the house and found Rob and showed him the money. We went and got snow cones...mmm.

Road Trip!

We went up to Paris this weekend to visit Mom and Dad. It took us four hours to get there! We ran into traffic on I-35 because of a wreck and then Emily needed to be fed so we stopped. Then she needed to be changed, so we stopped again. Traveling with an infant sure makes a difference!

First Real Smile!

Emily smiled for real for the first time this morning. I didn't catch it on camera, but it was so adorable! Rob had been playing with her on the floor and after he got up, I was playing with her and she smiled.

We had to take her to the doctor yesterday. She was acting like having a wet diaper was hurting her so we got her checked by the doctor. They did a catheter to get a urine specimen--not fun. The test came back normal. They're going to do a culture to make sure nothing's going on. Apparently Emily just gets really mad that her diaper is wet. She has a temper!! They weighed her and she now weighs 9 pounds 6 ounces!

We've been working on Tummy Time and she's doing pretty good. I can't believe how much she's changed! She's already outgrown her newborn onsies! I'm not ready for her to get big yet!

One Month Dr's Visit

Emily had her one month doctor's visit today. Actually, she didn't see the doctor; she just got her second Hep B shot. I wasn't prepared for this. I thought she got her next shots at her two month visit. Everything turned out okay, though. She cried a little bit and I didn't cry at all! I totally expected to cry. I had to be strong for Emily.

They could have at least given her a cute band-aid! Daffy Duck?!?

Emily is now 8 pounds, 13 ounces and 21 inches long.

Crash!

Emily hasn't slept well the past couple of nights and she hasn't napped well during the day. I finally got her to nap about thirty minutes ago after her fighting me all morning. She cried and cried. I cried a little bit, too. I could tell she was tired, but she just kept fighting. She is so cute when she's sleeping--and when she's awake, too!

One Month Old

I can't believe Emily is already one month old. So far it's been great being a mom. I don't sleep much at night, but I never slept well before she got here. Emily is getting bigger every day. She is starting to coo and she has such a cute little voice. I can't wait until she smiles!

Little Angel

Isn't she adorable?!? This is the dress that Emily is going to wear for her blessing. It's her great-great grandfather's dress made by her great-great-great grandmother. Neat, huh?
