Irie's Big Week

Irie had a big week this week. She Was blessed on Sunday. She rolled over (front to back on Tuesday and she went with my mom shopping and got her pictures taken. She has been working on holding her own bottle for a while now but actually held it on her own Wednesday I think. Friday we went and got her pictures taken with Santa. Saturday she sat up with no support... and then promptly fell over. But she did sit up on her own for a few seconds. And then She saw her first snow Sunday.

Blessing Pictures

Irie was blessed Sunday December 7th. here are some pictures...

My Little Family

The Dress... My mom made the dress you can't see it very

well but the little flowers are purple.

Nilson's

McVay's

4 Generations on the Nilson side

Thanksgiving

Her shirt says baby's first Thaksgiving and then the baby food jars say turkey, green beans and sweet potatoes

Her first "Real"" food...

Here is a picture of the blanket that Tawnya (Carson's mom) gave my mom. It is a Pendelton wool Blanket that the Church had made. They made 500 for the Church and 3 were never claimed so they were sent back to the store that Tawnya works at. I think it is really cool.

Just some cute new pictures

First time brushing her teeth... well gums

Laying on the floor watching the fights with Daddy

Carson had her laughing good the other morning.

She had a blow out at Carson's mom's the other day so I had to give her a bath. I thought she would fit in the little sink. But not so much, shee still had fun and liked it.

Irie today

So last night I went to bed at 8 cause I was super tired. Irie was about ready to go to sleep so I put her in her bed. She was good for a minute but then got fussy so I put her in bed with me since I was just reading for a few minutes anyway. Carson came in to bed and asked if Irie was going to sleep with us. I said she was ok for a little bit I would put her to bed before I fell asleep. Needless to say I fell asleep with her in our bed.I woke up less then 2 hours later, rubbed Irie's head and it was soaking wet. Got up turned the light on and this is what i found. The dark spot around her head is not shadow, it is sweat. But I like this pic cause it looks like she is praying.

Here is the sweat spot...
Then later this after noon I went in to check on her while she was sleeping and this is what I found... Again I think it is cute and I love that she is finding her fingers more and (sometomes) using the bink less.

Then we went to our wards Halloween Party here is my little Moo Cow.

She is a cow she is allowed to have "sour milk"

Happy Halloween all!!!

Stephanie said...
I was wondering when the cow items were going to come out! So cute. And that is some serious sweat. Again cute though. Happy Halloween!

Irie Birth to 2 months

Here are some new pictures of Irie. They are pretty much in order of age. She'll be 2 months tomorrow, and it has gone by so fast. She is such a good baby, really only crys when she is hungry, other wise she just kinda squeeks. I'll try and start posting more often. It is just hard when I don't have a computer. But I'll try

Julie said...

Still No Baby

So many people are wondering and asking if there is a baby yet. Sadly no. I am not due until Wednesday but I am so ready for baby to be here. And I know a lot of other people are ready to meet baby too. But not yet.

We were at Carson's parents last night for dinner and his 2 year old nephew heard us talking about the new baby and then he came up to my belly and started patting my tummy saying "come out baby", "Baby come out and play". Then we asked him if baby was a brother or sister, and he said "no, its baby." I thought it was really cute.

As soon as I get my head around things after baby is born I'll post a new blog with pictures. But I don't have Internet at my house just yet so it could take a little bit. But if your interested here is the tentative plan for after the baby... Carson is taking the first week off, My mom is taking the second week off and probably bringing us to her house most of the time. And then Carson's mom is taking the following week off and will be with us at my house. Visitors welcome just let me know... Oh and If you didn't know I am having baby at Willamette Falls.

More after the Baby is born. Loves

Karen Christensen said...
Good luck! I hope things go well. Kari is coming out for a dance with A.J. so she will get to see the little one, I'm jealous. It will be wonderful when it is here and you can have the baby in your arms and really see, feel and smell the beautiful baby smell!

Pregnancy Photos

When I regustered at Babies R Us I was given a coupon for a free 8x10 Pregnancy photo. I went and got them taken yesterday. I thought they turned out pretty good. The girl who was taking my pictures said I was fun because everytime she said 1, 2, 3 I would giggle. I told her it was because my fake smile was horrible and if I giggled it look a little more real. Thought you might like to see the pics. Enjoy

Stephanie said...
Finally some pictures of the bump! You look great, I love your outfit. Baby is coming so soon!
