Mommy Notes 3 Months





Since Kayla was born back in September I have posted a ton of pictures and video. Mainly because our dearest friends and family live far away from San Antonio, Texas. However, I thought it would be good to add mommy notes once a month as Kayla grows.



What is going on this month?

Christmas is over, 2011 is around the corner and my maternity leave is quickly coming to an end. Who would have thought that 3 months would go by so quickly. I have greatly enjoyed being at home with Kayla these past three months. I have been amazed just how quickly Kayla has grown and what she has accomplished in the first three months of her life. But I am also happy to gain back a piece of the person I was prior to her arrival. The kicker is that I cannot see her amazingly cute face whenever I want. Which will kill me and also maintain my sanity all in one.


With all that said Kayla is Daycare bound.... I decided to go with a Daycare that cares for infants only with care provided in a home environment. I choose in-home after looking at 5 daycare facilities and deciding for the first year or so I am much more comfortable with Kayla being in a home environment. Ms Lilly is state certified and comes highly recommend. Right now she only has 6 kids and I have talked to prior parents and current parents and all are thrilled with the care Ms Lilly provides. Not to mention her house is less then a mile from my house. I can prob get there in 5 min if I catch/run the lights. This situation makes me very happy!

Sleepy After Opening All Those Gifts


The Little House

Aunt Patti sent Kayla a few books for night time reading. The Little House was Patti's favorite when she was a kid.

Kayla turned three months old on December 16th. Looking back she has grown so much in the short three months she has been with us and Mike and I have enjoyed every moment with her. Her sneakers were courtesy of [a].
Her current Weight is about 9lbs. I will have a more accurate number when she has her 4 month dr visit.

Kayla Kicks

Knowing Mike and I we were anticipating a active kid. ALL the books say 10 min of play time is about it at this age and then the baby is tired... well the books do not know Kayla. She can do this for hours........Kayla loves to kick her feet and she gets frustrated when she is confined and cannot move her legs. We are in for some fun!

NFL Sunday







Kayla finally fits into 0-3 month clothing. Or at least I can put it on her without having it fall off of her. She is also starting to show facial expressions. This was the first Sunday that Kayla was in appropriate NFL clothing. Notice her sneakers..cutesy of Beckett's mom.
This is all well and good if you are a Bills fan. But you know father and daughter need to bond on something.... I say GOOOOOO EAGLES!



Christmas On Thanksgiving

Kayla Slept in Grandpa's arms most of the week. Grandma with Kayla in front of our Christmas tree.

Kayla really looks a bit scared in this one.... Grandpa was happy.


Fav pic of the week!





During my parents stay over Thanksgiving we put up the Christmas tree and thought it would be fun to put Kayla in her Christmas outfit and get some photos.

Kayla is starting to make faces which makes picture taking that much more fun!
