Akasha's Crib

Brian put together Akasha's crib last night and it's perfect! Unfortunately he had to take down my closet doors because it just wasn't going to fit, but it's in a good spot in the bedroom and it matches my bed frame perfectly. I love the crib and I love the bumper/crib set! Thanks again Mom!





Brian and I decided that we need to start weaning Akasha out of our bed! She's almost 8 weeks now and she's still sleeping with us! So today was the start of this brilliant idea. I'm going to start putting her in the crib for all naps and start a specific bed time which is at 10:00 (for now). I finished feeding her at about 9:00 and I wanted to keep her up until 10 so she would fall asleep for good. It was pretty rough trying to keep her awake, and really funny as you will see in the pictures below. So far it's working pretty well. She put herself to sleep (for like the first time) and I've only been in there 3 times putting her binky back in her mouth (it's 11:20). It will probably take a while, but it'll be worth it in the end!

7, 9, 14 and 24

Last night Akasha slept from 1:30 to 9:30! It was so awesome! This is the first time she's ever slept 7 hours! It's very exciting. Shannon came over today and she weighs 9 lbs 14 ounces and she's 24 inches long! She's getting soo BIG! She almost doesn't fit in her bouncer anymore!
Surprisingly only 6 pictures today! The video was from last night, she was just so excited and I was hoping we'd get a smile on the video, but there was only one short little smile, it's cute anyways! It's almost 3 minutes long, just a warning!




Where's Daddy?

On top of the world!

Long legs!

6 weeks

Akasha is growing like crazy!! She's having her 6 week growth spurt and she's been eating almost every 2 hours except at night! I feel like a cow! But of course we're having fun and have been taking hundreds of pictures (literally). I say this every time, I tried to be picky, but again here's my favorites.

Daddy was playing with her in her bean bag, she absolutely loves it!



She loves showers!

Playing with her first toy!

Her new cousin Selena, 5 lbs, 2 ounces. Akasha looks like a giant compared to her!

We love our bean bag naps!

The attempt of the Tongue

Akasha has been so active lately. She loves Mommy for her comfort and she loves Daddy for his fun. Ever time she's in Daddy's laboratory she's just so happy and active! In this particular video she was trying to mimic Daddy by sticking out her tongue. It was soooo cute! It's two different videos both about 1 minute long, so sorry if it's BORING!! Enjoy!

Still under construction, BUT.....

The other day, I pulled up Tiffany's blog and it's eye catching and really cute. I told Brian, I want my blog to be cute like hers! So, he's making me a new layout for the blog. I'm really excited!
I have been slacking on getting blogs up! So, of course I have like about 100 pictures I have taken in the last week. I tried to be picky again, but I just love all the pictures! She's just soooo darn cute!


She's starting to really love her binky.

What is with this face?

Sitting like a big girl!


She was actually smiling and giggling a little at Daddy

WARRIOR DOING?


She loved being in the shower



We love taking naps together on the bean bag

Fam Time

The trip with the fam when really well. We had a lot of fun! Mom caught us up on laundry, did all the diapers, cooked food (dad helped when he was here), bought us groceries, and washed all the dirty dishes! When Brian and I were driving home, I was a little teary eyed, and when he asked what was wrong, I replied with, "I'm going to have to do all of the chores again." It was a blessing having my Mommy here. Thanks Mom! Oh, and Dad it was fun having you here too ;) I can't wait until Mom's 50th birthday in June!
I tried to pick out my favorite pictures from the visit, and it came down to these 16! I tried to be picky, but Akasha is so freaking cute I had to put all of these on here!
