The Ending of Co-Sleeping

So as I posted early this month I was scared that Philippe and I were going backwards in the sleeping area.. Brielle was sleeping with us for most nights.. Sometimes it was for just a little part of the night and sometimes it was all night..
Well since returning from SSM we have only allowed Brielle to sleep in our bed if she wakes up for a 6am feed.. Usually by this time she is not really ready to go back to bed so it is nice to have cuddle time with Mama and Papa..
She has been really good with sleeping in her bed for naps and during the night.. We have been blessed with a good sleeper.. I hope that it stays that way :)

11 weeks today

Well our Baby Girl is 11 weeks today.. I am so amazed how the time passes.. She is doing very well.. She sleeps well at nite with sometimes only waking once or twice to eat.. She has started a new thing where she does not want to nap during the day.. Which leads to a very overtired baby in the evening.. Which I will take as long as she goes to sleep and sleeps well during the nite..
We have discovered that Bath time is one of her Favorite things to do.. She like it so much that she cries bloody murder when she gets out.. I feel that she is going to be that child at the beach that you always see that is crying to not get out of the water when it is time to go..
That is all the updates for now!! Until next time :)

Trip Up North

So last weekend we took a trip un North to visit with some Family Friends.. IT is about a 6 hour drive.. I was a little bit nervous with taking Brielle in the car for so long, but she amazed us.. She pretty much slept the whole time.. She was a little cranky when we got there.. But that was expected since she was sitting in the car seat for so long.. She did fabulous for staying in a new environment.. She slept well the whole time there..
I can`t wait to take her to NB.. We will be flying so it won`t be as long.. But it will be a different type of trip!!

Happy Valentines Day :)

So, this is Brielle's first Valentines Day.. Not much you can do with a 2 month old, but we did go for a walk in the nice weather.. Dressed her up and took a photo of her so we can always remember her first Valentines Day..

2 months :)

So we have made it two months as parents, and I think that we are doing a pretty good job.. Philippe is off work now until September and it is great having him home.. He is very helpful with the housework, Brielle and everything else.. He is a great Papa..
I can`t believe that Brielle is 2 months.. I still feel like I am in my own little world.. She is perfect in every way.. I can`t compain.. She does have some fussy times but what Baby doesn`t..
She is probably about 10.5 pounds now ( we weighed her on the bathroom scale).. She is now wearing 3 month clothing.. We just had to go buy her some little hosue outfits.. I feel bad that all she has to wear is sleepers to have a lazy day.. She few little outfits, but like any person, who likes to get dressed up all the time.. So we got some oneies and little leggings to wear around the house..
She has learned to smile and laugh.. It is the cutest thing ever.. She especially likes to laugh at her Papa.. She is trying more and more everyday to make talking sounds..
She has gone from a baby that hates to have her diaper chaged.. The kind of baby that would scream to a baby that laughs and smiles..
She loves to have a bath... She just doesn`t like to get out.. She hates leaving the water and getting dried off..
She loves to hang out in her swing.. When she is fussy it is one of the only things that will help her settle..
I in a way feel that we have gone backwards in one area.. When Brielle came home from the hospital she went directly into her own room in her crib.. Now that Philippe is not working when she is cranky we allow her to seelp in our bed.. Never thought that I could be a co-sleeper, but it works.. Sometimes it is just for the first half of the night and sometimes it is all night.. But it worls and she still goes in her crib so I think we will be ok.. I just fear that she will not want to sleep in her crib if we allow her to sleep with us to much..
That is all for now!!
I have a poopy bum to change.. Since Philippe has yet to attack that challange :)
