One month old and counting...

Here she is in here July 4th outfit...what a cutie pie!!! Only 3 weeks old and already partying.

We started the holiday at the Mathis household with Aunt Kerri and Uncle Clif.

Then we scooted on out to the Cain's new house. Stephanie is holding her tight and she did really well at the party...she didn't mind all the noise and got passed around like a little hot potatoe.

Beth's favorite spot is on daddy's chest...she loves to catch cat naps with him...so does he!!!

Here is her one month old picture (July 12th)...she sure is stretching out a lot...and she now weighs 9lbs - so i am excited to know that breastfeeding is working well - just hope i can keep it up once school starts back (i sure am going to hate going back to work).

TUMMY TIME with Patches. She sure seems strong...but i know it will be a while longer before she can hold her head up. John and I were both worried how the wiener dogs would take to her...but all has been well so far. They mainly just want to lick her all over (probably to get any left over breastmilk on her face - he! he!) Patches decided to lay next to her while she tried out tummy time for the first time...they both did really well.

Finally another update...

Sorry i haven't updated the blog...but motherhood has really taken up sometime...and i am trying to steal naps anytime my little angel will let me. We had her two week appointment on June 26th and she weighed 8lbs....Dr. Wagnon says that is great - meaning my breastmilk is satisfying her...and she is growing...so all is good...we go back for her two month appointment August 14th...where she will get her vaccines - OUCH!!! Her umbilical cord finally came off after her two week appointment...so we gave her the first "real" bath.

Tessa came to see Beth the next weekend after she was born...it was great to get to visit her...and i can i just say i am always so jealous of her hair...hopefully she will teach Beth how to have nice hair all the time...b/c we all know i am not big on keeping my looks up.

Her is the picture John and I took and made announcements out of...she looks just like her daddy.
Her Haleigh is holding Beth and I am holding Kyler (Haleigh and Monty's little boy) - he is so cute and 9 weeks older than Beth...looks like i better enjoy her while she is small b/c it doesn't seem to take too long before they get big.
Here is Kymbree (Robin & Chad's beautiful little girl) and Beth. Kymbree is 17 days older than Beth...but weighed in at 9lb14oz at birth...but the funny thing is knowing that this picture will be the exact opposite of the girls as they get older b/c Beth will probably be much bigger than Kymbree later on. Beth and Daddy just hanging out watching some TV - no crying - woohoo!!!
e got Beth baptized Sunday June 29th at Holy Family Church in Mereta - Father Tom performed the ceremony (he also married us) - and Uncle Mark is the Godfather - hence he got to hold her during the screaming rampage...it might be a tad longer before he and Ashley consider children now - HA! HA! Beth and I just hanging out...or should i say - she is streched out and i am just glad she is content.
