Our smiley baby girl
All ready for church!
The day of Isabelle's shots, I was changing her diaper and I turned around for a second. I looked back and this is what I saw...she ripped off her bandaid and was holding it in her hand!
Isabelle's 2009 New Year's resolution is to grow more hair!
Isabelle in her new pink pea coat she got for ChristmasOn New Year's Day, Isabelle turned 2 months old and this past Monday she had her 2 month check up. The doctor said she looks great and is doing very well. She weighs 10lbs 6 oz. and is 21 1/2 inches long. She's in the 30th percentile for weight and 25th for height. She's still little, but since she started out so tiny the doctor said she's right on track. She seems so big to us, but probably because she's gained a little over 4 lbs. since she was born and grew 3 1/2 inches. I think she's just gonna be a petite little girl! Unfortunately, the 2 month appointment included 3 vaccines : ( It just broke our hearts to watch our little girl go through those shots. It's so sad because she was lying there smiling and had no idea what was coming, and within seconds she's bawling in pain and doesn't know what's going on! I felt so bad for her and she was sore and cranky all day. She's been doing great sleeping lately, she's had several nights now where she's slept 5 hours at a time! I've got her on the 90-minute baby sleep program and it seems to be doing well for her. On this program I put her down for a nap every 90 minutes. I find she shows sleepy signals at almost 90 min. to the dot and goes to sleep pretty easy at that time. She's been getting a lot better daytime sleep because of it and is a much happier baby. It also results in the better nighttime sleep as well. She continues to eat pretty well, and she smiles and coos all the time now. I have to go back to work Jan 26 so I'm really trying to cherish these last couple of weeks I have with her. I still will only be working 3 days a week, but they're 12 hour work days and I'll miss her like crazy!! The days I work Jeremy will be with her during the day before he goes to work so we're trying to practice bottle feeding. So far she's not thrilled about it, but I think she'll get used to it. In any case, we continue to enjoy our little girl so much. We're so thankful for her and pray the Lord's blessings, protection and health as we enter 2009. Happy New Year!

Don't the shots just kill you? They are so happy and loving life, then all of the sudden they do that cry where they don't make any noise. I always feel so much anxiety leading up to that moment, ha ha.
Anyway, I also wanted to mention that you guys are the Jesse and Miranda blog's best commenters, you inspire me to comment more on blogs! See you guys next weekend-

Oh Amber...she is just the cutest thing! I just love seeing her little personality in the pictures. Can't wait to meet her and kiss those sweet cheeks!

I hated the day that Lilly had to get her shots and she had to go back that week because they were out of one. She slept for two days after and then she got fussy. I am not going to tell you that going back to work is easy, just ask Mary how I bawled when I dropped Lilly off the other day!! But I can say EVERY day gets easier! I think that Isabelle is looking more like you now that she is getting older ( Amber that is!) Take care and hope the little ones can meet sometime soon!
Jeremy, Amber, and Izzy,
Well, Papa Pryce hopes that she can grow more hair in 2009 than he has!! She is so cute and precious, we can't wait to get down there and see her, and of course you guys too!!
Love ya lots,
Dad, Janella, and girls
P.S. Give our little Izzy a big hug and kiss from all of us!
I always hate it when Marisa has to get shots. You feel like you have let them down or something. They look at you like how could you let them do that to me! Isabelle is adorable and I can't wait to meet her next week!
