Reflux

So I have decided, on my own, that Remee has Reflux. Seriously this kids spits up more than I have ever seen, and she's kinda fussy when she eats. So I researched online about it and just figured that that was what she has. So I bought this great stuff called Colic Calm. It's all natural ingredients, and helps with the effects of colic, gas, and reflux. Let me just tell you... it freakin works. She went from wearing a bib all day long and spitting up constantly to not wearing a bib at all and maybe she spits up like twice a day. What a freakin relief. I'm glad she's a happier baby. If you have this same problem... buy this stuff. It's guaranteed to work.

We're back!

After a much anticipated couple of months, Remee and I took a visit to my sister's house in Washington and then to Portland, OR for a cousin's wedding. We went to the fair and saw a newborn calf. Not kidding... this guy behind us is only 1 day old!
The weather was hot the first couple of days in Washington, and since no one there has A/C, Remee decided to sleep nakey! Seriously thought what's the deal with people not having A/C there? That's the dumbest thing! Pretty sure you have to take a cold shower to cool off, and it's a surprise to me that anyone uses their ovens when it's that hot. I would just decide to starve. It's way to hot to cook!

We drove to Portland's Rose Garden. It was amazing. Millions of roses to smell. My mom had to stop and read what every rose was. She's a flower lover!

We loved the Rose Garden. So many roses, so little time.

Remee loves her Great G-ma!

The girls play when the boys are away!

My cousin's wedding was gorgeous. It was at an organic farm in Mt. Hood. I wish I lived there! The air was fresh and cool, and holy cow the food was amazing! This pic was at the reception. My sis and I are crazy dancers!

Breaking News

So the breaking news is that I can finally fit into my jeans from before I was pregnant. Which I am so happy about because I really didn't want to have to buy all new jeans. So hip hip hooray!!!

I made pickles for the first time with my friend Trish, and they are amazing! So easy to make and so yummy!

My beautiful girl is a talker!!!

Raven loves Remee.

And with that I am off to Seattle and then Portland! So I'll be back with many pics and stories to share...I'm sure!!

Update on Remee

So here we are a couple days past 2 months old and I already can't believe how fast time goes. Remee had her 2 month appt. today at the Doctors and she did so well with her shots. Of course she cried but not for too long. She weighs 9 lbs. 11 oz. and is 23'' long. She's obviously built like her mom. Tall and thin. Here are some of the things Remee does at 2 months old.

• She is a big smiler and giggler. Such a happy baby!
  
• She loves the song 'The Itsy Bitsy Spider' and loves the sound of whistling.
  
• She goes to bed at 10:30pm and sleeps til 6:30 am, giving mommy some good rest!
  
• Still loves tummy time.
  
• She likes watching T.V. Not kidding... she will turn her head towards it and watch all the colors on the screen.
  
• She talks a lot. It's fun to ask her questions and she will try and answer back.

She is such a joy to have in our home. She is a sweet little girl with the sweetest spirit. We love her to pieces.

When one is bored...

Ok so I'm not bored... I mean it's awesome to stay at home with Remee and sing to her and rock her and kiss and hug her all day long, but I needed a day to do some crafts. So, I found an editorial to make some easy elastic band skirts and I jumped at the opportunity. Ok I didn't jump... it was more like hesitation to say the least but I did it anyway. To make both skirts only took me about an hour and a half, and I am the worst seamstress ever. Pillows and curtains are my forte. So I am more than proud of my accomplishment, and I love my skirts. So comfy and seriously so easy to make. I'm not kidding when I say that! Click here for the instructions.I also got my hair done this week. I LOVE it. It's pretty much the same haircut I always get but the color is different and I'm so in love with it. Thanks Mikey for doing such a wonderful job. I love you babe. Here I am before (looking a little like Justin Bieber)!

And after... not looking like Justin Bieber... I hope!

Golf, Remee, and the dogs

First of all, I love this little girl. She is so dang cute I can't even stand it. And if you don't think she's cute I don't care, but something is wrong with you.

We saw this amazing movie. Seriously whoever wrote it is a genius. It really makes you think about your dreams in a totally different way. I will say, don't get a drink for this movie though cause if you have to leave to pee you will miss something that's really important and then you'll come back from peeing and you won't know what's going on. Then you'll have to ask whoever is sitting next to you (Mike in my case) and bug them about what you missed and then they will give you a short answer like 'they are on the third level' and you will reply 'what third level' and then that person will have to explain more, and in doing so while you are both talking you'll miss something else really important in the movie. So... please empty you bladder before the movie starts and don't drink anything for 2 hrs and 40 minutes!

Mike and I have been talking about getting a truck so we can finish up some projects around the house and not have to borrow everyone else's cars to get the jobs done. So... we bought our own. It's piece of crap but it runs great! It just doesn't look too pretty, that's why I didn't take a pic of the inside.

We have this pillow on our couch that I guess Remee is in love with. She snuggled up next to it and fell asleep. Don't worry I made sure she wasn't too close to smother herself!

We went golfing with my Dad at Hobble Creek. I of course didn't golf because I can hardly hit the ball and I was in charge of taking care of little Remee. She was so good. She actually fell asleep, which is hard to believe because it was hot outside and Mike's driving in that golf cart was just plain crazy. Who won.... my Dad! Way to go Steve-o!

The newest addition to our house is Delphi, Rachael and Kory's puppy. She is adorable! Here are the dogs playing in the yard. They love each other, well, I think Raven loves Delphi more but whatever! They just wrestle around and Delphi tugs at Raven's cheeks and ears!

Movie Review

Sadly, I only have one movie review. It's tough to time feeding and how long movies are and all of that but luckily, yesterday, we were able to time it all just perfect.
First of all, I'm starting to think that Jerry Bruckheimer is involved in every movie, show, and commercial. His name is everywhere, and everything that he produces is great (except for CSI Miami, cause that show just plain sucks... sorry mom). So when I saw his name on the screen within the first few seconds of the movie I knew I was in for a real treat. I really liked this movie. It was little cheesy but hey, it's Disney! Only thing that was a little confusing... just because you are a Sorcerer doesn't mean you have to look like you haven't showered for 1,000 years. I'm just sayin'!

What happens in Vegas...

Ends up being shared on this blog! We had a very fun little weekend in Vegas. Mike had to go down for a show and so Remee and I tagged along for the ride. It was fun to sit out by the pool and soak up some sun. We had the most delicious sushi and I think I walked as much as I do when I'm at Disneyland. I'm in need of a pedicure, anyone want to come with?
Holy cow, can you tell I'm breastfeeding? Yikes!!!!!

My girl at 6 weeks

I seriously can't believe 6 weeks ago I gave birth to this darling girl. I love her more and more everyday! So here are some things she does these days.

• She loves her tummy time and can already do push ups. She's so freakin strong!


• She is obsessed with her pacifier. I'm not kidding, she must have it in her mouth almost all day long.


• She smiles a lot and giggles in her sleep.


• She goes to bed at around 10:30 pm and sleeps about 7 hours, feeds and then sleeps another 3 hours.


• Cries for only 3 reasons. Tired, hungry, or her pacifier fell out.


• Loves car rides and they put her to sleep so easily.

She is just our little cutie and we love her so much!
