Buy Stock in Shout-Out

I’m not sure how some thing so small.  So sweet.  So innocent.  So cute.  Can make such a horrible mess!IMG_6491 This girl has one diaper explosion a day!  I’m not lying!  One a day!!

IMG_6496

They are so bad!  And they always happen around the same time every day!  I’m thinking I could probably potty train her real quick! 

IMG_6493Today I set her in the Bumbo seat on my desk while I am working.  I look over at her and she has that look on her face… my other fellow moms know that look… that look of… this is going to be a big one!

I instantly grabbed her and started my way upstairs.  By the time I got upstairs into her room and laid her on her changing table.  It had run down her pant leg – got on both her socks – and all over MY shirt!

And not even 30 minutes earlier I changed her and made sure I put the diaper on good so there would not be any leakage!!

IMG_6494The girl has tons of clothes – so that isn’t too much of a problem.  But all her clothes are for summer… and well it is not summer here!  Okay it is summer, but it is a cold summer.  The other morning I went to the grocery store and she had her bare feet sticking out from under the blanket and this Grandma came up behind me and said… oh its too cold – cover those feet up, and she pulled her blanket over her feet.  (And actually it was warmer that day.)

Today I had her in last warm outfit that fit her good and was actually clean.  Long sleeved white onesie and a pair of pink comfy pants with socks.  Now she is wearing this outfit (in the pictures) that is a bit big for her.

IMG_6497Basically what I am getting at is… anyone know what I am doing wrong?  Why does she explode out her diaper every day!?  I have tried Pampers and they were horrible!  So I am back with Huggies Supreme.  I mean she has exploded every where – onto my carpet!  In her carseat!  On my lap!   In Walmart!  Ruins an outfit every day!  Shout-out is my new best friend!

2 Month Shots

Yesterday we had Mally’s two month check up and shots.  She weighs in at 12 pounds and is 23 inches long.  50th percentile in all the categories. 

I love her Dr.  She always comes in and asks how baby Mallory is, and we say good.  The Dr. looks at us and says… you can say she is perfect!!  ; )

Then it came time for those dreaded shots.  First they gave her some oral medicine stuff and she ate that up.  Then we have two nurses in there and they each take a leg.  I hold little Mally’s hands and Jesse is trying to distract her with a toy.  They give her three shots and boy-oh-boy she screamed and cried!  I scooped her up and tried to calm her down, but I was crying!  So I rocked and bounced her while Jesse talked to her and she actually calmed down pretty quickly.

They told me she could be a little fussy from the shots, but you wouldn’t know anything happened.  She’s a tough girl!!  She’ll be ready for her pink dirt bike in no time! 

They put Mally on vitamins.  I guess since I nurse her she doesn’t get enough Vitamin D.  I tried to give it to her this morning and she was giggly and smiley and I think it all ran out onto her jammies.  But she didn’t act like it was gross – she kept smiling.  We’ll try again tomorrow when she is a bit more hungry.

I took some pictures the other morning while she was having her quick power nap.  It takes her forever to wake up.

Stretch.  Grunt.  Stretch.  Grunt.

IMG_6465 IMG_6463 IMG_6462Finally awake.

 

She is also grabbing onto blankets and her clothes.  I can’t get her to hold onto a toy yet, but she hold onto blankets.  So I’ve been giving her this fun ‘tag blanket’ that my Aunt made her.  There are little ribbon tags all around the edges.  Super cute!

IMG_6473 IMG_6468 IMG_6471Now that she has a little better control over her hands – everything goes in her mouth.  She does a lot of chewing and sucking on her thumb… who does she get that from?  Uncle Adam and Auntie Shannon?  ; )

Oh and she drools like crazy.  She is constantly soaked.  I’m not a fan of bibs, but I’ve been having to use them so she isn’t wet all the time.

IMG_6476She blows tons and tons of bubbles that I think her nickname should be bubbles!  She’ll blow so many that she’ll have a beard of bubbles.

IMG_6477 IMG_6479 You can even see it dripping of her little mouth! 

I hear lots of grunting… I think someone is trying to wake up.

Sparkling

IMG_6482Where does that door lead me…

To my new bathroom!!!!

IMG_6483

Even the sink and mirror are installed!

IMG_6485

Yes I moved in – except Jesse beat me to it and he moved in first.  The shower is awesome!  And guess what – there is hot water in this shower!  Our other shower runs out of hot water in a matter of minutes.  Why this new one has more hot water and is on the same hot water heater?  I have no idea.  Jesse told me why, but I can’t remember… I just know that I love this new hot shower!  I feel sparkly and clean again!

Sorry these pictures are not better, but I had a little someone who was not so happy.  So I snapped a few quick ones.
