One Month Old!

Well, seeing as how I am keeping my Mommy and Daddy awake at 2am, I may as well post some pictures from the last couple weeks. :)

The first picture is one my Daddy took earlier today because I turned one month old! The outfit I am wearing is one that my Mommy's friend Michele, and her mom Lucia, bought for me. Thank you!

The next is of four generations of Meeks! My daddy, my Grandpa, and my Great Grandpa.

The last one is my Uncle Steven and Aunt Heidi with my cousins, Madison and Levi. They are VERY excited about me being here. I can't wait until I can run around and play with them.

Well, I am going to go pretend to sleep for 5 minutes and give Mommy and Daddy false hope. ;)

Some new pictures, finally!

Sorry about the lack of pictures in the last week. I was keeping Mommy and Daddy pretty busy and tired. I mean, how was I supposed to know that I should be sleeping at night?! I'm getting better though. The last couple of nights I have been asleep around 10pm and then I wake Mommy up around 2am and 5am to eat.

I went to church with Mommy and Daddy for the first time today! Grandma Leckron bought me the bonnet. My parents were very excited to have me wear it. I think I pulled it off alright, don't you?

Yesterday, we went to see my friends, Jackson and Brayden Jones! We talked a little about our band, so be watching in the coming years for that.

My Grandma Leckron went home earlier this week. Mommy says that she is very thankful that Grandma was here to help for my first two weeks. I was happy about that too, because I got to spend lots of time with Mommy! The picture of Grandma, Mommy and I is from the day she left.

One Week!

Ivy was 1 week old last night! In this past week, we have learned that she hates baths, diaper changes, and most of all, gas. She loves sleeping, eating, laying on mommy or daddy's chest, and just being completely adorable. She is figuring out her schedule of eating every 3 hours. Last night she slept beautifully in between the 3 hour feedings, or so Lori tells me. I woke up to everything the first couple nights, but since then, I sleep right through. Lori says that if she could, she would spike my drinks with breast enhancing formula and let me feed her! :) Most of the time though, she is thrilled that she gets to feed Ivy.
Ivy had her first doctor's visit yesterday. She is back up to 6lbs 14ozs after she left the hospital at 6,8. Everything continues to be perfect with her breathing, so no signs of the infection coming back!
She is a car sleeper. The moment you start driving, she is out.
Lori and I have had the normal first parent questions of, "Is her poop supposed to look like spicy mustard?" or "How can those tiny little lungs cry so hard?" and "So how do you put clothes on an unnaturally strong infant who likes to flail her arms and legs all around?" and of course, "How can this tiny little person go through so much laundry!?"
Having Grandma Leckron here to help has been invaluable! God bless her!
The Grandparents have been funny. Now that they know the sex, they have bought all kinds of little outfits for her. :) Jaime Moore also loaned us a bunch of clothes for her! So thank you all!

Great Grandpa and Grandma Meek came to see Ivy, as did Uncle Adam and Aunt Sarah, and Uncle Seth.
