Uncle Timmy

Two posts in one day! June is a busy month for us...we got home from Wilmington and had one day before Uncle Timmy came to visit. Lizzy and I got up early this morning to drive to Charlotte to pick him up. Lizzy is excited to show Uncle Timmy her typical day...errands with mom, poopy diapers, play time, an an evening cry session! They had bonding time this afternoon while we watched the Kardashian's marathon on E!

Memorial Day

We spent the holiday weekend in Wilmington with Grandma and Grandpa. It was a weekend of firsts for Lizzy...first road trip with the dogs, first trip to Grandma and Grandpa's, and of course, first boat ride!!! She was a trooper for the whole trip, handling the 5 hour drive like a champ and adjusting to the change in environment with ease. Of course, being a Fuller, she loved the boat ride (she shares her father's love of the hum of an engine running). All in all, a great experience for her first weekend away. We're hoping she keeps up the good behavior for the upcoming California trip.

6 weeks old!

Well, today Lizzy reached 6 weeks. I don't have the patience to wait for her 2 month visit to find out how much she has grown so I weighed her myself today. According to our very precise bathroom scale, we've reached 12 pounds!!! I can't guarantee the accuracy of this latest weigh-in, but I did repeat the process and got the same results so it is as close as we are going to get until the next doctor's visit. No wonder she is growing out of so many of her 0-3 month clothes!

Lots of people have asked about how the dogs are doing with Lizzy. They both are doing great with her and have gotten used to her noises and smells. Lizzy seems to tolerate them most of the time, but obviously not when this picture was taken. Just don't expect any pictures with her and Shelby anytime soon. Despite the daily photo sessions, Shelby is still petrified of the camera and flees the room anytime it comes out. Don't know if we'll ever get past that!

Play Time!

Well, our little girl is growing before our eyes. Lizzy will be 6 weeks old tomorrow. These days, she is still primarily eating, sleeping, and pooping, but there is more and more active awake time each day. She has just started giving us real smiles (I haven't been able to catch them on camera yet) and has recently "found" her hands! As she becomes more aware of everything around her, she is more interested in her playtime which is fun for us both!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day everyone! My first Mother's Day started off great when Lizzy didn't wake me up for a feeding until 4:30!!! She did the same thing on Thursday night...she had her last feeding at 11PM and slept all the way to 4:30!!!!!!! I'm really hoping nights like this become more regular.

When we left for church this morning, this little guy was hanging out in the front yard to see us off. We did church and lunch this morning and Jason took Lizzy duty this afternoon so I was free to do some shopping and baking. Jason & Lizzy got me a spa package so it is almost like I'll get a second Mother's Day when I get to go get my massage...sweet!

Leaving our mark on O'Charleys

Today we took Lizzy out to dinner with our friends Scott and Priscilla and their one year old son, Noah. Dinner was great and it was nice to spend some time with friends. Lizzy slept through most of the meal waking up near the end to eat her own dinner. We almost make it through the meal without incident when Lizzy proceeded to projectile spit-up all over the place. Jason took the brunt of it since he was feeding her and was left looking like he'd wet his pants, but the floor of O'Charley's looked like we'd spilled a glass of spoiled milk. I guess we better get used to leaving a messy trail everywhere we go!

Learning to shop

I'm glad everyone likes the blog! Nothing too exciting to report today so I included a pic of Lizzy from our trip to Target today. She definitely hasn't acquired her mother's appreciation for Target quite yet...the meltdown began not long after this photo was taken. Hopefully her tolerance for shopping trips will improve with time.

One Month Old!

Lizzy turned one month old yesterday (May 3rd). I can't believe it has already been a month...but if the calendar didn't confirm it to be true, than her size would certainly give it away. We had our one month check-up on Tuesday and got new measurements. She is up to 10 pounds, 4 ounces and 22 1/4 inches. She's already starting to grow out of some of her 0-3 month outfits! The doctor said we should expect her to give us a real smile (that isn't just gas) any day now! Can't wait for that development!
