Daddy time!

Yesterday I went up to Waimea so Melia could get a weigh in and even though she eats frequently and seems to satisfy herself she hasn't gained much in the last 9 days and her doc wanted to make sure she was gaining enough eveyday and week. She was weighed twice the last time we were there and if the doc went by the lowest weight she only gained about 4 ounces in 9 days. Apparently that is not enough so we will go back next week for another weigh in. Dr. Gregg, who I think is awesome, said not to worry b/c she is strong and looks great and not to change anything. She doesn't eat during the night but maybe once so that could be why she is slow to put on weight too. Anyway that is the updae on that. So when we got home last night it was time with Daddy so here are some pics of little Peanut with her Daddy!

Nap time

Melia and I took a nap together the other day and Dan got some pics of us. I love when she falls asleep on me! The other pics are just of her after eating. She is quite alert lately and likes to just look around and stare! I have so much fun with her! Just love her so much!

The stars at night, are big and bright, (clap, clap, clap, clap)
deep in the heart of Texas.

Sunday BBQ

Last night we had Casey and Heather Francis and their 4 kids over for bbq. It was fun and Heather and her 2 girls had fun holding Melia. Melia was really good. She was passed around and didn't cry and fell asleep for a little while. Dan grilled some hamburgers and some yummy chicken. Heather's oldest girl is on spring break for 2 weeks and asked if she could come over and hold Melia during the day. Sure! As you can see from the pic Dan really got into grilling and was so excited.

Our week end

We have had a great week end. Friday we went to Cafe Pesto and Melia was great...slept through dinner although she had to eat before went in to the restaurant. Yesterdy and today we have just been relaxing together...all 3 of us. Here are some pics of the week end. Melia usually likes baths but not that day! She usually goes to sleep around midnight and sleeps until 5 or 6 which I think is pretty good! She has an alert time during the day now and she just stares and looks around totally content. I love it! Oh and as you can see Scuppy finally got to hold Melia!

My Peanut's Footsies!

Aren't they so cute....and long!! Melia had a good night last night. She slept from 11 until 5:15 a.m. she ate then went back to sleep for an hour. She then slept with us in our bed for a few hours which was so nice! I love watching her wake up b/c she does makes all these funny faces plus she does a lot of smiling. I am trying to catch it on camera. Yesterday she was awake for like 6 hours straight. It was crazy..during the day! Dan was at work all day so it was kind of a long day for me. She seems to be quite the sleeper today, though! Thanks for the help and encouragement yesterday, sis!! :)

Bouncy Peanut

Here is Melia in her bouncy chair. It plays music and vibrates and she really likes it!! Thanks Cindy! Today has been good. Melia took a long morning nap and has been hanging out with me for awhile now. It is a beautiful day so hopefully we can go out and get some fresh air. We sure miss Nana!! We loved having her here!!

Thursday

I just finished the night holding Melia almost the entire night. She has had some awesome nights lately sleeping almost 8 hours straight, then last night she tricked us with a non-sleep night... She would eat sleep and then 5 minutes later be awake again... Robyn got a little break though, I let her sleep and I took Melia into her room and rocked her for almost the whole night. I loved watching her fall asleep, her head goes back, the binky falls out and she totally relaxes... then her feet start to kick, her arms start to move, and her eyes open... then she cries. I think she has a cute cry though and I couldnt help but just listen to her and let her cry a bit. We did sleep a little, but all in all I think she will have a very nappy day! I really dont mind though, i could stay up all night again tonight if I need to... Only I will have to go rent a new movie... I watched Amelie, last night and that will ferrel movie before that... I forget the name, but its the one where there is a lady narrating his life. his name is Harold Crick? anyways I loved it and thought it was hilarious.
I am off to work now... Will post a few more pics later though.

Saddest face in the world

Here is Peanut over the last few days. I rally wanted to get some good pics of her in the cute little pic dress but she was hungry. I think she made the saddest face in the world! She slept a full night last night so yay! I am sure that won't happen again fo awhile but she is such a sweet little girl. Well She is wakinhg up so gotta go...enjoy! Oh she scratches her face so she that is why she is wearing those socks on her hands!

Happy Girl

Today has been another nice, relaxing day. Dan had his bike race this morning so he and Lynne went to that as she helped out. I had just put Melia back down to sleep so I didn't want to wake her up. It sounds like a lot of people showed up and it was a fun time so I will have to make it for the next one. Dan decided to go with us on a walk but had to cut out early into it. So we have all just been relaxing the rest of the day. These are just some pics of little Peanut after the walk and squirming around on my lap. She is getting more alert everyday and it's so cute to see her looking around and moving her little arms and legs! She is such a content little girl. Peanut is 2 weeks old today!

Nana is back!

Nana is back in Hawaii and we are loving having her here! She arrived yesterday afternoon and this time Melia was there to greet her. We had a relaxing evening last night watching American Idol and Melia slept 6 hours straight! I can actually think straight today...well kind of. It is a beautiful day here. We went on a walk and have just been relaxing at the house.

Baby Dan and Melia

Here are some baby pics of Dan. What does everyone think...see Melia in them? I will have to post some of me next. Also here are some more face shots of Melia. Can't wait to have Lynne here to get some cute pics of Peanut with her.

Same good day

So here are some more pics of my girl. We ran a few errands with Daddy before he had to head over to Scouts. Special thanks to Grandma for the glider. Melia and I both love it! I will post the pics of Dan as a baby later but there is total resemblance, I think. Check out her little leg and tiny ankle in the last pic here...totally Dan's with those long feet!!

Good Days

Today has been a good day with Peanut so far. She had a good night of sleeping...4.5 hours straight! I thought is was good anyway. This morning she and Daddy took a nice little nap together and then we watched her make some cute and funny faces while waking up. Melia and I just got back from a walk and it is nice and sunny here today. We are going to meet Daddy at work then go run a few errands together. She just keeps getting cuter!

Sleeping thinker

Here is my little Peanut sleeping in my arms. She seems to like to sleep with her little hand resting under her chin like she is pondering some info while sleeping. It's really cute. We had a good day yesterday. She has been staying up a little longer after each nap and we get to play with her although she was up for 9 hours straight from 4 pm. until 3a.m. What is that about? She wasn't really fussy. She just didn't want to sleep. Besides that she has been a pretty good napper. She's excited to meet her Nana on Thursday!!

1 week old!

Melia is a week old today! She had her first doc check-up on Thursday and she is already back up to her birth weight! I guess most babies take up to 14 days so the doc said that was pretty amazing. Go Melia...she has an appetite like her dad, I'd say! This past week has been tiring but so rewarding. I love watching her make her funny faces and how she just stares and stares. I love the little Peanut so much!!

Put me back in the water!!

This is a pic of my little girl after a bath. The bath she didn't mind. She didn't cry at all. While I was changing her she peed on my hand which then got all over her so a bath she got! I think she is going to be a swimmer with those long flippers for feet of hers!
