3 month pics

Valerie Photography came to our house about a week ago and took pictures of our growing Lizzie. Here are only a few of our favorites that I thought I would share.

2 month stats

Yesterday was Liz's 2 month appt. I had been dreading it for awhile because of her shots but she did great! My brother Ryan was in from out of town and went with me so I had some moral support. I was expecting her to be fussy all day but she was just as happy as ever. Here are her stats

Weight- 14 lbs 6.5 ounces (95th %)
(she went from 65th to 95th, I laughed)

Height- 23.5 (60th)

She's getting SO big and more and more fun to play with. Joe has found her ticklish spots and is constantly tickling her. She obviously loves her food and loves to sleep. For the past 3 weeks or so she's been sleeping through the night which i'm just now getting used to. I'm still pumping 24 7, because of my raynauds, and continue to feel like a cow. Joe said we need to get a sign that says "welcome to tribett dairy farm", I found it fitting. We love our baby girl and just cannot get enough of her squishy cheeks.

thanksgiving and Liz's Blessing

This past week we celebrated thanksgiving at my parents house with the majority of my siblings. We had a blast! We definitely ate WAY too much, stayed up WAY too late, and didn't sleep hardly at all. I love getting together with my family and I hate saying goodbye. We all hope that we lived closer. Since most everyone was here I waited to do Liz's Blessing. We did it the Sunday after Thanksgiving and it was perfect! She was able to wear my same blessing dress and she looked absolutely adorable in it. When I put it on her and picked her up to hold her she wouldn't stop smiling. It was such a cheesy smile too that said "I'm pretty and I know it". We appreciate everyone that could be there and we can't wait to see everyone again.

Selective Hearing

I'm sure most of you deal with your husbands having selective hearing. If not, bless you. Today I was talking to Joe maybe 3 feet away. It was later in the day and it our conversation went something like this.

me-I know I haven't showered yet today but I still feel like I've gotten a lot done around the house.

Joe- I don't know how they did it. None of them showered so I guess they were just used to it.

me- what are you talking about?

Joe- The Indians, I don't know what they did about showers.

Even though I was extremely frustrated that he wasn't listening I couldn't help but laugh my head off. He was completely off.

I did and I love it

Most of you have already seen me but for those of you that haven't I went with the fohawk with my last haircut. It took me about a week to get used to but now I am finally liking it. Don't worry I can wear it down too.

Halloween '09

This was Liz's first Halloween but I felt like 7 weeks old was too young to dress up and take around so we just had cute little outfits for her. Friday we went to our church's fall festival and had a potluck. Joe dressed up as an Angels fan and Liz as a pumpkin. Saturday we went to my parents for the tradition of chili, chips, and cheese with apple juice. (which by the way is TEARING Liz's stomach apart. One too many blow outs for us. She was named right because she must have Aunt Aubrey's stomach) We then watched the world series with Dad, me, and mom rooting for Yankees and Joe for the Phillies. I think it ended up being a pretty good first Halloween for Liz.

Newborn pics

We got back Liz's newborn pictures and we absolutely love them! Here are some of our favorites.

Should I do it?

For ever now I have wanted to do a fohawk but I didn't feel that it was professional while I was working so now that I am no longer working I am seriously considering it. Also, the last time I went in to get my hair cut out of the blue my hairstylist mentioned that I should do a fohawk so I feel like it's kind of meant to be. I want your input so let me know if you think I should do it or not. These are the best pictures of could find of one that I wanted to do.

1 month stats

Weight - 65% (9 lbs 13 1/2 ounces)

Height - 60 % (21 1/2 inches)

Head - 70% (15 inches)

She had her 1 month check up yesterday and we were much happier with our new pediatrician. Liz loved her and didn't cry at all. She did get one of her shots and she did really well. She gave me a cute little pouty cry afterwards.

I'm posting a video mainly for my sisters to see because I can't e-mail them. You can act interested if you want but it's long and kind of boring.


She is very patriotic. We taught her how to say the pledge too
First Sunday to church. I thought she looked pretty cute/irritated that we put her in a dress
Baby girl loves her mamma's milk
Life is rough around here. We eat and sleep
First attempt in the bumbo. She did really well.

3 weeks and still alive

We have hit our 3 week mark and I must tell you, it has been the longest 3 weeks of my life. I feel like Liz should be 6 months by now. We're having lots of fun and getting through some of our trials of parenting. Feeding has been an issue for us and we're trying to get through that but luckily with the help of a lactation specialist I think we have it under control. She has been a really good baby and we're so happy to have her in our lives. I'm just excited for that 6 week mark that I hear about where everything goes back to normal. Joe has been very busy with school and work so we don't get to see him much but when we do see him it is all about Liz. He definitely loves his little girl. We got to give her her first bath last night which she hated at first and then she got used to. She still doesn't like it when we put lotion on her, crazy I know. Anyway, here are some recent pictures of baby girl. Notice that i'm not in any of them, ok I take that back, my face isn't in any of them. I laugh because everytime Joe is holding her he wants his picture taken with her. It completely cracks me up. I guess I just don't think about it or no one is around when I'm holding her. Anway, enjoy!



Liz's BFF Brynlee

I promise she loves being held this way

Our first attempt being alone and me needing to shower, I think it turned out pretty good.
Thanks for the cute headband Aunt Aubrey
Our first walk
She fell asleep while feeding so we had to start stripping her of her clothing. Still didn't work
