3 months old already!

These fingers are delicious!

Well, Kaylee is no longer a newborn.  She's so grown up - sniff!  And she has been growing and learning a lot of new things.  She can grasp toys, see herself in a mirror, track objects, smile, coo, sleep in her bassinet, hold her bottle (sometimes) and enjoy simple books. 

She has also been enjoying her baby yoga.  We just completed our first series on last Tuesday, but have already signed up for another session!  Kaylee got a little certificate for completing her yoga class series that says "Kaylee and her mom, Shannon, started practicing Itsy Bitsy Yoga when she was 7 weeks old". How cute is that?

Kaylee has also graduated from the 0-3 month old parent/baby class we attend at Evergreen Hospital.  We are now in the 3-6 month class!  We've met a lot of other moms and usually hang out once a week.  Kaylee will have a lot of little friends!

School has been going well for me...it is so interesting being back in school 7 years after completing my schooling at the UW.  My perspective is completely different and maturity definitely changes things.  But I am really enjoying it and doing well!  Whew!

Lance has been really busy with work and being a great dad.  He is so great with Kaylee and very helpful with her.  I couldn't ask for a better husband!

2 Months Old!!

So hard to believe our little baby is 2 months old now!  We just had our 2 month doctor appointment and after a slow start to gaining weight, we are happy to say she is now 10 lbs 4 oz!  That is about a 3 1/2 pound weight gain in a month.  Good job baby!  She is now 22.5 inches long.  So her height and head circumference is in the 50-75% percentile and her weight is in the 25-50% percentile.  The doctor says she will be well portioned.  Its all we can ask, really. :)  The doctor also confirmed that we were correct in bragging how well Kaylee holds her head up.  She is such a strong little thing.  She definitely did not get that from Mommy!!

I've started school and managed to make it through the first two weeks relatively unscathed. So far it hasn't been too bad, but I definitely have to stay on top of my homework since Kaylee doesn't let me get a lot done during the day.  My classes for this quarter are: Network Basics, Database Theory and Intermediate Algebra.  Woo!  :)  It is pretty awesome to be taking a math class I did in 8th grade, but I kind of enjoying it.  Math and I are working on being friends after a rough beginning.  While I am at school, Kaylee gets to hang out with her grandmas...I think all parties are enjoying the arrangement. 

Kaylee also started "Itsy Bitsy Baby Yoga".  She seems to really enjoy it...we do little baby yoga poses and sing songs.  After yoga, we go to our baby/parent class and hang out with other moms and their 0-3 month old babies.  We get to talk about our concerns and find out what is working for other moms.  Kaylee...tolerates this class.  We have also been getting together for coffee with some of the moms from the classes.  That has been a lot of fun as well.  It gets me out of the house, which is awesome.

Kaylee is really starting to come out of her shell.  She is smiling now.  It isn't really often, but a few times a day at least.  She is cooing too, which is so funny and cute!  Every day she becomes more and more aware of her surroundings.  And I am so excited for that!  I want to play with all these toys with her and have her react to them.
