3 months

At three months you:
- Are still really interested in fans.
- Starting to really smile and squeal on occasion
- Had a really big growth spurt. (Grandma Kay went 2 weeks without seeing you and couldn't believe how big you had gotten.)
- At the end of August you weighed 10lbs 5oz
-You had a couple days where you were really fussy and refused to eat much. We took you to the clinic to see if your ears hurt. Everything looks good, but she might be teething.
- You're beginning to drool like crazy. (Drool bucket)
- If you can get your fist to your mouth you'll chew on it. Even though it seems you have a small mouth, we're pretty sure you could fit your whole fist in it.
- You had your first big Reimer gathering. Even though you were 2.5 months old, everybody couldn't get over how small you were.
- You rubbed off all of your hair because you're more active. You're sporting an old man hair ring around the back of your head.
 - We had to adjust your car seat straps up a notch because you are so tall.
- Still wearing newborn clothes. The clothes you have grown out of are because you have gotten too long.
- Helped daddy usher at church. Good thing you didn't start crying. Everybody thought that was pretty neat.
- Celebrated dad's 30th birthday.
- Went to Grand Lake, OK. Longest trip yet. You did great. However, mom and dad didn't think it would be smart for you to get near the water. (Your life jacket that might have worked got stolen from the dock.)
-You're becoming more independent.
- Taking better naps by yourself. (Yay for your swing.)
- You will lay under your playmat for a good chunk of time.
- You're on a four hour feeding schedule. Still sleeping from about 11:30 to 6:30.
- Had blowouts three days in a row. Straight up your back. Grandpa Kenneth, Great Grandma Barbara and mom were on the receiving end of them.
- If we wrap you up and give you your pacifier you know it's time to go to sleep. (Thank you for being a relatively easy baby!)
- Got your first set of shots. (Showed an allergic reaction to the Band-Aid) Screamed for a minute of so and then you were fine.
- Finally filling out your skin. No more bird legs.

 No hands!

 Cousin nap time. :)

 Poor baby got her first round of shots. 3 bandaids. Good thing aunt Allissa was there to cheer her up!

 The shots made her pretty sleepy for a couple days.

 

 Sometimes you're so tired that you'll fall asleep on the floor before we get you in to your swing or crib. On this particular day, mom took a nap beside you.

 Still so tiny!

P.S.- This is being posted 2 days after you turned 4 months. Sorry baby girl! We will try to be more prompt from here on out. We don't want to miss anything!!

2 months

We can't believe you're already two months old!! Where has the time gone?!?!

At two months:
-You've really found your smile.
-You're obsessed with ceiling fans.
-You reacted and giggled one day before you turned two months.
-You're growing!! It's bittersweet. We know you need to grow, but miss our tiny little bundle. You weighed 8 lbs 13.5 oz a couple days before.
-You started filling out your skin.
-You transition between breast feeding and a bottle very well. Thank you so much for doing that. It allows us to keep an open and somewhat spontaneous schedule.
-Unless you are completely awake before you start eating, you tend to be a really lazy eater.
-You still keep a fairly consistent schedule. Thank you!!
-Your eyelashes started to grow. They are so beautiful.
-You're serious about looking around. You need to be held in a way that you can see.
-You lock into faces now and can focus and follow.
-You've started to enjoy spending time on your playmat. (Thank you Uncle Vance and Aunt Celine)
-You had a friend born on July 19. I don't think you'll ever be bigger than her.



Your Adventures:
-You went to your first rodeo. Your mom couldn't enjoy it at all because she thought it was too loud.
-You went to your first farm show. We hope you enjoy the farm life.
-You went to your first wedding. You traveled very well to Wichita. You slept almost the whole way. Behaved very well throughout the day. You didn't quite make it through the wedding. Dad had to take you out to change your diaper and you kept fussing for a little while after that. We didn't want to interrupt the ceremony so we stayed outside. We got back home from Wichita around 1:45 a.m. It was a very long day, but we were proud of you for how you handled the day.
-You love being outdoors. Anytime you're fussy and nothing else works to calm you down, stepping outside will do the trick.

New Nicknames:
-Daddy's little monkey
-Mom calls you love bug
-Grandma Lisa calls you sweetness


It's needless to say that you've changed a lot. We enjoy seeing those changes on a daily basis. We can't even imagine what will change over the next month. Dad and Mom have fallen in love with you more and more each day.

 Still loves to be curled up.

 Snoring. :)

 Loving the fan.

 Baby Khloe, 6.5 weeks younger than Andelyn.
