One Month!

I can't believe our sweet girl is already one month old! Here are some pictures of our first month with Audrey Grace:

You had your first pacifier. You don't really care about them that much, but occasionally they help sooth you.

Daddy gave you your first bottle! This will give mommy a little extra time to sleep at night!

Mommy likes to take pictures of you...but...

If I'm not quick enough you start to cry!

I got a good picture of you on your 1 month bday!

You and mommy go on walks everyday! You usually sleep the whole time.

You LOVE your swing! You sleep in it everyday!

You also love tummy time! You are really strong and can hold your head up! (Even though this picture doesn't show it)

You had your one month check up today! You are growing and healthy! You now weigh 9 lbs 6 oz and are 20 inches long.

You are just so cute and fun!!

Audrey Grace

I would like for you to meet Audrey Grace Burgin!! It's hard to believe she is actually here! I can't believe she will be 3 weeks old tomorrow! She was born on 3/13/13 and weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and was 19 inches long. She has been the best baby!! I couldn't ask for a more laid back and happy baby.

We had so many wonderful friends come to visit!! I wish I had more pictures!

AG on our way home from the hospital

One of Hershey and Tucker's first experiences with AG. They love her so much!

Our first outing as a family...AG's first doctor's appointment. She gained weight!!

Just a sneak peak at her newborn pics! Photos done by Kristen Hollensworth

 This has to be one of my favorite pictures of her! She is so full of personality!

 We dressed her up for her bf Jordan :)

Some of her clothes are still too big but she still looks cute!

I know I have only been a mom for a few weeks, but there are several things I couldn't live without! Here is my mommy must have list:

Books:

1. Babywise by Gary Ezzo and Robert Bucknam

2. Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Baby by Marc Weissbluth

3. Raising a Daughter After God's Own Hear by Elizabeth George

Diapers and Such:

1. Pampers Swaddlers

2. Pampers Sensitive wipes

3. Arm & Hammer diaper pail (seriously I don't know what I would do without this!)

Strollers:

1. Baby Trend Expedition ELX Travel System Stroller

Breastfeeding:

1. Boppy Pillow 

2. My Breast Friend Pillow

3. Lansinoh Nursing Pads

4. Lansinoh Lanolin Cream

5. Gilligan & OMalley Nursing Tanks from Target

6. Medela Pump in Style Advanced breast pump

Apps:

1. White Noise (none of us can sleep without it!)

2. ibabylog (great for keeping up with diaper changes, breastfeeding, etc)

Baby Clothes:

1. The little outfit in the picture below! You will probably see her in this outfit a lot! We have several and they are the best and easiest for changing diapers. Plus it keeps her hands covered so she can't scratch her face.

Other:

1. Fisher-Price Newborn Rock 'N Play Sleeper

2. Aden + Anais Swaddle Blankets from Target

3. Graco Pack 'N Play with Newborn Napper Station Deluxe Play Yard

I'm sure there is more, but this is a start!!

A Baby Girl, Thanksgiving, and Christmas

So it's been 4 months since I last posted! Sorry, it's probably not going to get much better! I wish I could say it would :( I love blogging and reading blogs, but I don't have much time these days. I am having a baby and was so excited about doing cute baby bump posts but unfortunately I am 23 weeks pregnant and haven't done one post! I've been off all week for Thanksgiving break so I figured I could do at least one post and who knows maybe it will encourage me to do more! 

This past week my goal was to get the baby's room completely cleaned out...and I achieved that goal! I also registered! It was so much fun and so stressful at the same time. I have no idea what I need! I know she (Audrey Grace) will have more than she ever needs! I finally bought some baby clothes! I have a feeling I am going to be addicted to buying baby clothes!

 I registered for this little darling

 I'm thinking about putting this in Audrey Grace's room. I am having the hardest time figuring out how to decorate her room without spending a fortune. Baby bedding is soooooo expensive!

 She finally has some clothes in her closet!

I cannot wait to meet and hold this precious child!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We hosted it at our house this year! It was so much fun!! I was horrible and didn't take any pictures, so I will move on to Christmas.

I love this time of year!

 Christmas decorations

 Our new ornament this year! Can't wait to add Audrey Grace next year!

Hopefully I won't wait another 4 months!!

Wholly Guacamole!

Last night I made homemade guacamole and shrimp tacos! It was delicious!! I LOVE avocados and they are so good for you!

I found the guacamole recipe here:

 I found the shrimp taco recipe here:

 {Whatever you do, don't try this sauce by itself! It is nasty but it does taste great on the tacos!}

 We tried our guacamole with pretzel chips instead of tortilla chips. It's actually pretty good and healthier!
