New toys!

No matter what age you are getting new toys is always fun! This past weekend was my birthday and I got an iPad and a new camera! The iPad is just fun to play with especially when I am confined to a chair when I am nursing or pumping. Devin and I had been talking about getting a new camera so we can take good pictures of Tori, so we took the plunge and did it. We've only had it two nights and I am so glad that we got one! We got a Cannon Rebel and are in love with it! You all will benefit from both of our new toys, as we will now have lots of pictures of Tori and I think I am going to be able to update the blog from my iPad, I just have to find the best app for it!

Anyways, things are going great! Tori is now 6 and a half weeks old. As of Monday she weighed 9lbs 10 oz which is up two pounds from birth and a little under three pounds from when she was released from the hospital. We will get another weight tomorrow when I meet with the lactation consultant again. Now I have a decent amount of milk, but she won't latch, go figure! I like to do test weights to where we weigh her, then nurse, and weigh again to see how much she is getting. I know we are overfeeding her because I always worry she doesn't get enough, so after nursing I give her a bottle with breastmilk in it.

Since my last post Tori has started sleeping in her crib, coo-ing, being more alert, recognizing me from across a room, following a toy with her eyes and I am sure there a lot more. I hope to catch her coo-ing on video sometime soon.

Here are some new pictures!

She now loves her swing! I love it too because it occupies her so I can do things around the house!

Bouncy seat is okay, takes her a while to settle down in it though. Hoping she really starts to like it because it is more portable than the swing!

Bathtime! Devin loves to pour water all over her. Luckily, she doesn't mind too much.

We had to drain the tub because she peed in it and when we were filling it up she kept kicking the faucet.

Sad bathtime is over! She randomly makes this face when she is in the middle of screaming! I am so glad I got a picture of it. I think it will be on her wedding slideshow some day!

We went to visit Grandma at the quilt shop! Started out happy.

Mom where is she taking me?

Stretching out. Tori loves to just lay and look around while stretching and squirming.

I see you mom.

First time wearing shoes. Devin hates them, but they look so cute with the outfit.

Happy baby after eating (and after Grandma calmed her down)!

The quilt shop really tires a girl out!

Thanks for checking in! I hope to post more soon!
