3 months old!

Wow I cant believe my little baby is 3 months old ( well 2 days ago lol) She is just the joy and sunshine of my life...I am so blessed and so thankful to my husband who goes to work each day, and while we are struggling with money, being able to stay home with Samantha to watch her grow, hit each milestone, nurse her and comfort her is priceless and would not change that for any amount of money...She is growing so much! At her last appointment which was almost 3 weeks ago she was almost 13lbs so I'm sure she is 13lbs now if not more...she loves to eat...

She is very close to rolling over...she still hates the swing though :(

Here are some new pics!

WOW its been a long time!


Wow its been a long time since I posted last! I will try to keep up with this more often... so here goes...



Samantha is almost 3 months old! I know its going so fast its crazy!! Breastfeeding at first was so hard, she would not latch on at all. My heart was breaking, Why can't I feed my daughter I was supposed to have all that she needed and now I cant feed her...well I went and got a nipple shield and from there we moved on, at about 5 weeks she knocked off the shield and latched on and we have been all good from then! I love nursing her its such a bond knowing she is growing from the milk I am producing for her, I love when she looks deep in my eyes while I feed her. My tiny baby that was born at 6lb 10oz is more then double her birth weight! here is the Sammie update




-she weighs 13lbs


-she LOVES her tummy, so tummy time is not an issue in this house


-she has been sleeping through the night since about 6 weeks, she goes to sleep around 10 and wakes up at 530 then she eats and goes back to sleep till about 9am!


-she is a little chatter box! she loves to coo and laugh and talk to us all the time


-she is such a little snuggler, she loves to lay with me and Frankie and just relax


- she holds her head up great! and loves to be sitting up and looking around
