Berkley's Adorable Nursery!

So these pictures show our princess' beautiful room! A few things have changed since these pictures were taken (more clothes, more flower clips, more toys, etc.) but these pictures give you an idea of what her room is like! We absolutely LOVE it! You can't really see it in the picture, but there's a pink vinyl wall saying above her crib that says, "It's a girl, a little beauty, an angel and I'm madly in love with her." SO TRUE!

Way Behind! Sorry!

So I have been super lazy with my blogging for a while now, I apologize! Mostly, I have to apologize for the many posts that will follow this one so I can catch up a little! I hope you enjoy the pics though! Our little angel is growing fast and is now more than 5.5 months old and will be 6 months old on July 3rd. I can't believe it has already almost been half of a year! AAAHHHH!!!

14 weeks old and growing up so fast!

The past 14 weeks have been simply amazing! Berkley started smiling daily before she was 2 months old, we blessed her on March 6th, she started laughing (started out with an excited cough with a smile but now she uses her voice too!), and she has become very active! I take tons of pictures (mostly because she moves so much that she's usually blurry...plus she's stinkin cute!) and we love every moment we get with her. Berkley can fart like an adult (volume and smell) and I usually can't help but laugh! She is still a very calm and happy baby, which is great, and she still sleeps through the night. In a 10-12 hour period she will usually only wake up for 1 feeding but not more than 2, which is much appreciated by her mommy and daddy! I am putting up TONS of new pictures (SORRY!) so enjoy! I know I have posted this picture before but I had to show the difference between what I looked like on induction day and what I looked like 12 weeks afterwards in the same outfit! CRAZY difference! I have already lost almost all of my baby weight but I am determined to lose even more! So far, so good!

Berkley is a very loving baby. I honestly can feel her love for me, which is such an amazing feeling, and she clearly loves many other things and people! She loves electronics (TVs, phones, computers) and is currently sitting in my lap, staring at the computer as I post this! I am going to show some more things that Berkley loves!

DADDY!

Grillin shrimp and steak with daddy!

Watching daddy play basketball in the regional tournament for church ball!

Chillin with daddy after the spaghetti dinner for the scouts!

She really is a daddy's girl and he knows it and loves it!

GRANDPARENTS!

She loves when grandma comes to visit!

Hanging out with grandpa right before mommy left to go to work for the first time after having the babe! Thankfully, mommy only had to work for 2 weeks cause she quit to stay home with the angel! No matter how much she loves her grandparents and daddy, the baby girl really needs her mommy too!

HER HANDS!

Berkley LOVES to suck on her hands! She has them in her mouth frequently throughout the day, which is nice when we don't want to give her the bink!

This is the one and only time I have caught her with just her thumb in her mouth. So cute!

Again, sucking on the hand! I love how she's lounging with her arm up too!

SMILING!

Number 1! Berkley smiles so much! I love that we know she's smiling because of us and not just for the heck of it! She almost always smiles if I tell her I love her! It's the best!

Sleepy smile!

I ADORE this picture! She was looking at me while I was talking to her! So cute!

Another beautiful smile!

She was looking at the window! She loves to look outside and be outside!

Such a ham!

No more "grumpy rainbows" here!

SO beautiful! I can't get enough of her dimples!

So stylin!

SLEEPING! (still)

Sleeping in her bouncer with a diapey, socks, and "her hair" on! Just how she likes it!

Kicked back in mommy's lap after a big buffet! HAHA!

She loves sleeping on my side of the bed!

Laying across mommy's lap! ZONKED!

FRIENDS!

Going for a walk with mommy, Scarlet, and Cass! Both babies loved it!

At Wal-Mart with Scarlet!

TWINNERS! So fun! Notice how Berkley and Scarlet have their legs the same way but mirror image! Too much fun!

Berkley, Brynlie, and Scarlet! We were all pregnant together! I had Berkley in January, Cass had Scarlet in February, and Rachel had Brynlie in March! They are bestest friends now!

With all of the pictures we have of our little sweetheart, I had a hard time deciding which ones to put on here (yes, I did eliminate a lot!) so here are a bunch of miscellaneous pictures!

Berkley's first size 2 diaper (67 days old)!

Ready to go to Ruth's Chris with mommy and daddy! We love family date night! Notice her adorable shoes that Maleah made! They match this outfit perfectly!

FLOWER POWER! HAHA! I love her cute little bum!

Hanging out in the tub! One of Berkley's favorite things (until you wash her face anyways)!

Peace!

Sitting up in the Boppy! So big!

Sweet and content!

Yeah, she's pretty much in charge of the TV! I love her cute bubble belly!

If you look at the PJs and think "wow those are tight!", you're right! I couldn't stand the thought of putting away her newborn clothes! I seriously felt like someone had died! It was super hard for me! That was a whole month ago too! Crazy how fast time flies!

I love this beautiful, sweet face so much!

Berkley's first time wearing 3 month PJs. Yeah, I retired all of the newborn PJs after she wore the super tight ones in the picture a few up from this one!

Such a pretty dress for such a pretty girl! Thanks Cass and Alexa!

Ready for summer time! So adorable!

She truly is "one of a kind" like the onesie says! We love her guts!

So beautiful in bright blue and green! I seriously LOVED this outfit on her! Unfortunately, I bought the outfit and just recently noticed that the skirt that came with it is a 6 month and the T-shirt is a 3 month! Oh well!

We love our curious baby girl so much and we are truly enjoying having her in our lives! Take a look at this super short video below! Berkley tells me that she loves me...SERIOUSLY!

2 MONTHS OLD ALREADY!

Berkley is 2 months old today! Time has seriously been flying! I have to go back to work in just over 2 weeks! I wish I could spend every minute of every day loving on my angel! She seriously is an angel too! She has been sleeping through the night for a few weeks now! We usually go to bed between 11:30 and 1:30 (because I am a night owl and can't go to sleep earlier than that!) and she has slept for as long as 8.5 hours! It's awesome! She will wake up and eat and then she is super smiley for a couple of hours until she goes back to sleep around 11 or 12. Then she sleeps for a couple of hours (anywhere from 3-5) until she wants to eat again, then she usually stays awake for a while. She eats 2-3 more times and then it's back to bed! She seriously is such an easy, sweet baby! We are so blessed to have her in our lives!

Today was her 2 month well-baby visit. She weighs 11 lb. 3 oz., is 22.5 inches long, and has a head circumference of 38.5 cm! This puts her in the 50th percentile all around! She is a perfect, well-rounded baby! Being that she is 2 months old, she had her shots today. She was not happy about that! She nearly chomped a hole through her binkie! The rotavirus immunization is given orally and she took it SO well! The nurses were amazed at how well she did for as young as she is! What can I say? My daughter is amazing!

When we got home, at 10 AM, I fed her and then she slept clear until 3:30 when I finally had to move and she woke up. I checked her temperature because she felt really warm and she was 100.8 so I gave her some Tylenol (which she took like a champ!) and fed her and she has been sleeping again since about 4. Her temperature is down to 100.0 now so I just hope it keeps going down nicely! Those dang immunizations! I can't lie though...I am LOVING snuggling my baby girl today! We have just bummed around on the couch, napped, and watched TV all day! I hope that she feels better quickly so I can see her smile again, not just in her sleep!

(Sorry about the crappy image! I just had to show how sleepy my angel is today!)
