2 MoNtHs?!?!

Seriously WHERE DID TIME GO?? My baby is 2 months?! I seriously cannot belive it. She had her 2 month Dr. apt today and here are her stats: Weight 10.8(40%), Heighth 22.75!!(60%), and her head 38.5(50%). Basically she is our little string bean:-) She also got her shots today....now that was SO sad!! I think her Daddy will go to the next apt when more shots are needed!! I can't believe how much fun the last 2 months have been!! I just love her so much!! It's amazing the love you have for someone you've only known for 2 months! I go back to work tomorrow and I have so many mixed feelings. I love the people I work for/with so that helps make it easier, she will be in the best hands while I am at work...but I don't want to leave her!! If I could win the lottery now it would be fantastic:-D Anyways, here are things about my My during her 2nd month:

* She will watch cartoons for about 20 minutes and be totally into it

*She loves her swing

*She loves her Nana and Papa

*She is really smiling now

*She is starting to make baby talk.....which I LOVE

*She will sit in her bouncer while I am getting ready, making dinner etc. and just watch and smile
*She is so close to sitting up, she'd prefer to be in the sitting position instead of cuddled....it makes me sad but she feels she needs to grow up fast I guess

*Her daddy gets the biggest smiles out of her.....she might be a daddys girl:-D


She is basically just the cutest little girl I know:-D I'm bias I know. Little Miss Maiyah we love you so much and are so blessed and happy that we get to have you forever!! Love ya string bean!

Time Flies When Your Havin Fun

WOW! I have not posted since February 5 I am sure my small club of blog followers are just so upset about this :-P! Time has gone by to quickly and we are having so much fun spending time with our sweet little girl!! Our little Maiyah will be 2 months old on the 28th of this month and she is growing like crazy!! I can't even believe how fast time goes! They say to love every minute of it because it goes by fast and they are NOT kidding! I look at pictures of when we first brought her home and it is crazy how much she has changed! Here are a few fun things about her:

*She smiles and giggles SO much in her sleep! She will giggle so loud she will wake herself up. But while she is awake we've only captured a handful of smiles....I can't wait until they start happening more!!
*She loves loves to ride in the car
*She is a BiNkY BaBy and is constantly sucking on that thing!
*She is basically sleeping through the night!!
*All she needs if she wakes up in the night is to feel her mommy or daddys hand on her belly and she goes right back to sleep
*She has the strongest neck and can sit for a long time holding her neck up all by herself.
*She has the longest fingers and the longest toes! We call them her MoNkEy ToEs
*She loves her baths! I think she would stay in the water all day if she could
*She loves to sleep on her daddys chest
*When she sleeps she almost always has her hands up by her chin in a folded prayer looking position
*She is the biggest wiggle worm, ecspecially during the night
*She is so sweet and we just love her so much!! She is also very loved by her Nana and Papa and all her Uncles! I think the longest she has gone without one of them coming to visit her is....2 days:-D We love all the visits! She is also so very loved by her "Vegas Family" she was loved on by her Grandma and Aunts when they came down to meet her and come to her blessing! she is just one loved girl!
Here are a few pics of her 1st month:
On March 7 we blessed our sweet little angel, it was such a great day! We had so many friends and family come out to show their support and love. We are so blessed with such amazing people in our lives!


And here is Maiyah today:-D Oh how I just love that sweet little face!!

LoVe at FiRsT SiGhT!!

On January 28, 2010 our lives were forever changed. Our little angel was born at 2:51pm weighing in at a healthy 7.1lbs and 20 inches. She is perfect and we love her more than words can express.
Labor/Delivery were much easier than I had anticipated! I had worked myself up to this horrible thing. And really it was not bad....of course that was AFTER the epidural. My sweet Dr. offered to start me and I quickly took her up on her offer..A. I was SO excited to meet this little bean that had been in me for 9 months B. I was in pain because she was so LOW and C. I was already dilated to a 4.5! So we went in Thursday morning at 8:00am. We got all settled in and at 10:30 my Dr. came in and broke my water. When I was dilated to a 6 I was ready for the epidural. I will say for me that was the WORST PART. It was great that the contractions were gone but to me it was painful, but worth it:-D Then at 2:00pm I was checked and dilated to a 10 and ready to push! To hear that was crazy! Because I knew we were SO close to seeing our sweet little girl. Finally at 2:51 our sweet little Maiyah Serenity Groft was here!! She was perfect and healthy and we couldn't have asked for a sweeter little girl.
I can't believe it has already been a week! She changes everyday, and she does not look like the little peanut we brought home from the hospital. She is so much fun even when we have sleepless nights and fussy times:-D She is constantly being spoiled by her nana and papa who love to pay her a visit everyday. Her uncles love her and the Groft side of the family cannot wait to meet her. She is one lucky girl to have such an amazing family!!
As for her Daddy....wow, she has him wrapped around his finger already! She is going to be one spoiled little girl! I can't believe the love I felt for him when I saw him hold her for the first time! He is such an amazing man and was amazing through the whole delivery! I could not have asked for a better husband.
Here are a few pictures of our little princess! Thanks to all our friends and family for all their love and support throughout this first week! We love you all!!

He was so amazing through the whole process!!!!!
