No Green Chile While Nursing!!

I'm not sure where to start since my last blog. It's amazing the changes that Ami has gone through in the last couple weeks. She smiles quite a bit and occasionally coos. She now grabs onto my shirt and won't let go. She seems to try to take everything in her sight in. She's trying to understand the world she has been born into. I know, I know that there a lot more cool things to come. You have to remember I have never been around babies. So, if it seems crazy that I am amazed by these little things that is why.

I went to visit by parents for a couple days since Scott had a project that he was working on. When I was down there I made the mistake of eating a little bit of green chile. Oh, did I pay for that. Poor little Ami cried for three hours to the point she was horse for the next two days. She seems to be a happier baby since I have been paying closer attention to what I am eating. Please let me know if you have encountered something that you eat that has cruel affects on your babies digestive system.

One Month Old

Ami turned one month yesterday. We can't be doing too bad she is still alive.



Today we went to Ami's one month check up. The doctor says she is doing wonderful. She weighs in at 10 lbs 4oz. She has good muscle tone and everything else looks great. Oh, and she let everybody in the doctors office know that she was present. She got her second Hep B shot and screamed her head off until we down the street from the doctor's office. Her lungs are definitely fully developed.



Yesterday we went to church for the first time with Ami. Everybody commented on her full head of hair and how perfect she is. I asked Scott if she really is or if people are just saying that. He said nope she really is. He wouldn't be biased at all, now would he. Scott kept her through church. It sounds like she slept most of the time.



I have to tell a story about Scott dressing the Ami to go to church. When I was ironing her little dress I made a mental note that the buttons went in the back. I didn't think this needed to be pointed out. I was sitting there waiting for the sacrament to be passed when I noticed Scott put on her dress backwards. Scott got back from passing the Sacrament and I mentioned to him what he had done. He said he thought it looked a little funny. He ended up changing her and switching her dress around.



Overall things are getting better and easier. She is actually able to sit for awhile in her swing without crying to be held and bounced. Also, I'm not as intimidated to take her out anymore. (Not that we galavanting around everywhere, but we are at least going for walks and to other places for short periods of time.)



If there is any little advice that anyone has about getting a baby out of your bed and still get sleep, please comment. Or you can give advice anything else you want to.
