Roll Over!!

Andersen rolled over (stomach to back) for the first time on Monday. I think she was trying to show off for Aunt Jada! We finally caught it on the video camera yesterday! She is trying hard to roll over back to stomach and is almost there - she is a strong little girl. We have had Aunt Jada and Grammy out here this week and it has been so much fun, Andersen is a good car traveler. We went to the Garden of the Gods and Estes Park and the Peak to Peak scenic byway (I'll post pictures soon). In the mean time, here's her video rolling over...enjoy!

Two Month Visit

Another month has gone by and I'm not sure where the time has gone! I must say I find it easier to update on facebook these days. We have had a busy month! Andersen started to have issues with acid reflux and is now on zantac, and a much happier baby. I had to be gluten & dairy free and limit "gas" producing foods for almost two weeks in order for them to know it was not just an allergy...let me tell you, both of us were miserable. Life is much better with me eating what I want and her on the drugs:) We have been getting out a lot more, walking at least twice a day, going to the store etc. It is nice to get out of the house! We have also joined a playgroup in our area and have gone to a few activities, it is nice to be around other moms that have babies her age. Grammie made it out for another visit as well as the Sather family. Andersen did great with the Sather's in town and was such a trooper. We went to the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, out for Mexican and up to Winter Park for the night (her first trip!) - it was the busiest we have been!

She is growing so much and we have enjoyed seeing all the changes! She can hold her head up quite well and turn it side to side while on her play mat. She smiles so much more and just laughs at you sometimes. She has found her hand and it has become a challenge to keep it out of her mouth - I am constantly pushing the pacifier in its place. She is even sleeping for extended periods during the night - anywhere from 5-7 hours between feedings! She loves her play mat and looking at all the animals and loves music. Today was her 2 month check up and all looks well. She is 10lbs 14ounces (55%), 23inches (75%) and her head is 15 3/8 (60%). She had her vaccines today and of course was not too happy - she screamed quite loud, but we are home and she is sleeping now! We go back in two months.

I must say motherhood has definitely had its challenges and up and downs so far, but every time I look at her I am truly amazed and grateful for this experience and her being in our lives. There is nothing better than a sweet baby, I am blessed!
