One month and then some

Blakely turned one month at the beginning of this month.  I'm a little behind.  She weighed 9 lbs. 15.5 oz. (70%) and is 21 inches long (75%).  I think both of my girls are going to be taller than their brother.  She is such a good baby, when I remember to give her her acid reflux medicine.  She wakes up once a night, between 4 and 6.  The other day I had to wake her up at 6:40 to eat (she last ate at 9 the night before), because I had a dr.'s appointment and I was afraid she wouldn't wake up until it was time to go.  She is starting to smile, which I love!  Maicee loves her to pieces, and Kyson adores her.  Kyson is doing better eating, he gained a whole pound in one month, which is more than he gained the previous 7 months!  His appetite is getting better, as long as he doesn't have any milk products.  Poor kid.  And Maicee is enjoying school and learning so much everyday!  She is so smart!  She is going to be really bummed when she realizes she can't start school with all her friends in the fall.  Dan is in an internal medicine rotation right now.  It demands a lot of his time, especially when he is on call.  But he's not interested in it.  He just got accepted for a 6 week rotation this summer in Hawaii.  I'm super jealous that he gets to go to Hawaii for free, and get paid while he is there.  I'm tempted to find someone to watch my 2 older kids and go join him for a week or two.  But that probably won't happen.

 



I got one good picture of her at one month.  I love this outfit Aunt Tracie bought her.

She is so stinking cute!

And I had to throw in one of Kyson on his roller coaster he got for Christmas.

Last weekend Dan was on call and didn't get to come home, so we went down to Colorado Springs and spent the day with him.  There is this fun little place called "Focus on the Family Welcome Center".  The kids had a blast there.

Maicee cried when we had to leave.

Daddy all dressed up waiting for a call to go into the hospital.  Luckily he didn't get called while we were there!

Kyson loves his baby sister!

Maicee really likes putting this little crown on Blakely's head.

She is so cute!

Here is the start of her smile.  She smiles with her whole face, mouth wide open.

Here it is!
