damn you onesies

ok, so i think i hate onesies, or at least i thought i did until i realized what a giant baby i have (countered with the fact that gerber must have their infant sizes wrong)..... here's the story..... so i was dressing Lena, in a onesie - a 3-6 MONTH SIZED ONESIE - and she is one month old. go figure.... anyway, putting her in a onesie is torture for me.... trying to get it over her head without scratching her or letting her head flop all over the place, feeling like i'm twisting her arm, it's just no fun for her or me.
i have to admit though i do laugh when the onesie gets caught on her head with just her face poking out.... she looks like some cute crazy creature with her short-sleeved ears.....
but anyway, once the torture of dressing her is over & snaps are snapped.... i realize how snug it is (uh, ya think?) but i'm bewildered because it's a 3-6 MONTH ONESIE!! long story short, i didn't want to go through the pain of twisting her body to get her in & out of this damn onesie again..... i decide to cut her out, while vowing how much I HATE ONESIES!! & she will never again wear one because it's just too difficult!
but after a new dawn & another attempt at a onesie, this time a carter's 3 month, i am rethinking my vow..... maybe just swear off gerber & anything smaller than 3 month sizes (at least for the next week when then she'll probably fit into 6 month sizes....)
here's a snapshot of the remains of the dreaded gerber onesie...... ironic that it says "little lady" on the front, huh?

a close up
the remains....

yay Lena! you just had your one month birthday! you are more & more beautiful each day! here are some highlights.......

*you weighed 9 pounds 14 ounces at the doctor last week
*you are sleeping better at night
*you're not as fussy - don't think you're colicky, i think you were just going through a growth/ gassy phase
*you are so funny when you wake up - you stretch & throw your head back & stick your little butt butt way out & make the cutest funny face
*you also make the cutest face when you're peeing & pooping - still hoping to catch it on film soon - the face that is..... ;)
*you have had some great bonding time with grammy while she's been visiting
*you have counted to 5 on your fingers - not sure you know what you're doing but i do.....
*you smiled a real smile at me & it melted my heart

i love you sweet Lena, you are the world to me & i love you more than i ever thought i could





happy new year!!

hey there 2011! can't believe it's already here! 2010 was filled with news of pregnancy, the birth of our nephew Grayson, a visit stateside with family, a trip to hong kong, another nephew born - Caleb & then the birth of our sweet baby girl Lena!
grammy is here visiting & we are so happy she's here! Lena is doing well..... we think she's a bit colicky, which i hate.... it is so hard to watch your daughter scream in pain when there is nothing you can do to help her. but today has been good, she has slept all day... which she really needed - last night was epic. poor baby. fingers crossed tonight isn't too bad.....
anyway, here are some latest pics.....
