One Month Gone By

I can't believe how fast time seems to be going by. Jaciellie is already a month old. If last night was any indicator of her getting older then I guess I'm good with that since she slept from 11-5 this morning It was really nice. She is just such a joy and the kids love her so that makes things even better. She is so even tempered and mellow like andrew so I am really happy with that. she has a fussy time in the evenings for about 20 minutes and then she's good. I have to laugh though and poor Randy when he's holding her she starts getting fussy and as soon as I get close enough to reach my arms out to get her she just stops he gets so jealous and I just love it. Oh the joys of being the MOM!!

BuBbLeS

Jaciellie loves to blow bubbles. Besides squeeking like an old car on a cold morning she has the talent of bubble blowing. Isn't she cute!

Sunday Traditions!

I guess Jaciellie is starting  the Sunday Nap tradition with her dad. Randy is usually up late Saturday nights and up early Sunday mornings for church meetings so when he is home in between meetings and temple recommends he takes a nap. Looks like he grabbed his baby girl to join him it was so cute! SWEET DREAMS

Where's the BABY???

Avrie picked out this little dress for Jaciellie and she was so excited she got to wear it to church yesterday. After Church the Relief Society brought over a little blanket for Jaciellie I just had to laugh that is actually matched her outfit. Where's the baby can you see her??? LOL

Jaciellie newborn pics!

I know this is usually done 1-2 weeks after birth she is 3 but oh well I think they turned out cute. These are a few of my favorites. A very nice lady in our ward took these pictures for us and she did a great job. Feel Free to check out her website and blog for more info on her.

DISNEYLAND FANATICS!!!

One tired little boy and One Big Boy glued to youtube

ok so I guess today is my blogging day this is just catching up and it's like my 5th post today. SORRY. Randy has been faithfully watching the countdown to Disneyland and is already wishing it was retirement time for him so he could park his RV in the parking lot and work there. HE is totally in love with DISNEYLAND I really think he loves it more than the kids. The other night he got on youtube and started playing all the videos people have taken while on rides. All the kids were getting so excited too. Apparently Andrew got a little worn out after 2 hours of watching the pirates ride! (he fell asleep sitting up against Randy) I hope it turns out to be as fun as they are hoping!

Things to REMEMBER

Rare moment of crying, didn't last long
See my tongue! Someday mom won't think it's this cute!
Mom wishes they could stay little!
Yes I do have more hair than my dad! That wasn't hard to do!

Just a list of a few things I want to remember but know I will forget. 

How much hair she has in the back (before it falls out)

How tiny her hands and feet are

How often she gets the hiccups (every time she eats, at least it seems like it) 

It makes me feel so bad for her but it is so cute.

All the compliments she gets from her brother. " petty jammies" "petty hair" "pincess" he is so good with her. When she is laying on the couch or my bed I can find him leaning over her just holding her hand or softly touching her head and talking with her, it is so precious.

What a good sleeper she is. Only 1 wake up call in the night (at least for now)

I love it when she sneezes it is just so cute!

I love it when she sticks her tongue out (at least for now) 

she will be doing that enough when she gets a little older I'm sure

I actually love to hear her cry, I say that just because it isn't very often (at least for now)

I guess you can tell I know change will come soon enough hence all the (at least for now) comments. Too bad they can't stay sweet and innocent forever! I'll enjoy it now!

WHAT A JOY HAVING A NEW BABY IS!!!!

Siblings!

So there is no doubt that Jaciellie has her sisters and even her brother wrapped around her finger. It is a given mom and dad are there too but man they just love this little girl.

3 Weeks Old!

SEE I told you she could SMILE! well she's getting there!
I LOVE how relaxed she is when she sleeps!
I love it when Randy holds her because his hands are 

so big it makes her look little!

This is so sad. I will probably write that every week my baby keeps getting bigger. It is just so sad for me. She had her check up yesterday and is now 9 Lbs 2 Oz and 21 3/4 inches long. She seems to be getting taller and has the double chin and little rolls on her thighs.  She is always trying to lift her head and look around building those neck muscles I guess.  I take pics of her and think that doesn't look like her, her head is much smaller than that.  oh well. She is still such a good baby sleeping mostly through the night. We have a wake up call at 1:30 and then 5:30 or 6 so I'm good with that. She hardly ever cries which is surprising with all the gas she has. She is just a sweetie though and we love her love her love her!

My Little Gymnast

Avrie started gymnastics last week and has been so excited. On tuesday it was only her 2nd time going and they were having a little recital. I don't know if that is what you call it or not but they were showing off their skills that they have learned. Of coarse some of the girls in her class have been going for longer and actually had something to show. They all did a little routine and she did really good for it only being her 2nd time. They have 3 levels of balance beam and I didn't realize she was on the 2nd highest one when she practiced. Randy took her the 1st week and was telling me about it but I thought she was really low to the floor. The balance beam is the one thing I don't know I will be able to watch her do it makes me to nervous to watch them flip and jump so high in the air on such a little beam. They had an older girl do her floor routine for everyone and Avrie was just grinning ear to ear I'm sure she can't wait until she can do that herself.  She has a pretty good build really muscular naturally so I hope it works out for her. She is loving it so far and has been trying to do her moves at home. I tell her the cartwheels and back bends are ok but trying to do a head stand on your own on the hard floor is not. Hopefully she doesn't break her neck!

Visitors

Classic David "pose" Seeing him smile was great 

he didn't look that good when he first arrived!
Great Grandma Allred! got her just in time to wake up and be hungry
I wish she could really tell me all about it
Trying to hold her head up already what a cutie pie 

Last week David came to the doctor and was able to see Jaciellie for the first time. Then yesterday we had some medicine to take to David and Grandma Allred was in Cedar City visiting so Jaciellie was able to see her great Grandma Allred. It was good to see her and my aunts and uncle and some great cousins. I wish we could have had more time visiting. I also thought I would just post a couple more pics of the sweet one. I just can't get over how different she looks to me than the other kids especially when her eyes are open she is just this different little person if I hadn't given birth to her and never let her leave my side while in the hospital I might think I brought home the wrong kid. j/k she definatly has more Allred than Richardson and after seeing grandma yesterday I think that might be  a Johnson nose on this little girl!

Pictures Pictures Pictures

No more pictures PLEASE!!!
She looks like a baby doll! at least to me!
Cute girl!
Mom and Jaciellie, See what a cute smile and looks like a little wink;) don't mind my tired eyes and double chin
Andrew was so excited to finally be able to hold her. He has been sick and has had to stay away
Dad and Jaciellie. You can hardly see what a proud dad he is !
The kids just loving their little sis.
I thought this was so cute because she was smiling on her own and wide awake. I know she's too little for that but it's cute anyway. Her headband was a little big and pushed her ears out she looked like a little elf. 

This is for you mom since you are dying to see her and can't I thought I would post some of the cute little one. Oh and by the way Avrie was so excited that yesterday Jaciellie's cord fell off and she has a belly button now. She had been so freaked out by her cord it was funny. Randy was excited that she doesn't have an outie! 

Dr appointment

We just couldn't keep the colds to ourselves. Jaciellie has  acquired the stuffy nose like mom and Andrew. Hopefully a little saline will take care of the problem so it doesn't get worse. That is the bad part of having baby this time of year. She is growing though she is 8 lbs and 2.5 oz in the 50% for weight. They also said she was now 21 inches long. I have a hard time believing that she grew and inch in a week unless she was measured wrong at the hospital but that was the 86%. Her head was only in the 27% so I guess that's why it only took 2 1/2 pushes. Other than the little stuffy nose she looks great and is just a joy

1 week old

Today my baby is one week old. She has been such a joy. I have been feeling great besides the supposed bladder infection and started to get a cold. The delivery just went so smoothly and recovery from that has been much easier than the other kids were. She is eating well and my body has done better adjusting to that than it did with the others too. She is such a beautiful and calm baby. At least for now. She hardly ever cries and when does it is just a little whimper and then she is done.  The kids are just loving her and wanting to hold her every minute they can. I am starting to wonder if it is ok to hold her ransom so Avrie will mind. The kids started back to school yesterday and were able to start riding a bus so it has been very nice. Randy has been taking them to catch the bus and they are loving it. It will make things a lot easier when Randy has to go back to work too I won't have to drive across town anymore. Anyway life is great and I just wish time didn't go by so fast and she could stay little. More than likely she is our last one and that makes me sad to think of her growing. She goes to the Dr. tomorrow for her 1st little check up so we'll see how much she is really growing!

5 days go by so fast!

Proud Big Bro
Wide Awake
Beautiful Baby Girl
Sleeping the day away
1st bath. Someday she will like it when 

someone else washes her hair!

So sad the last 5 days of pregnancy didn't go by as fast as the first 5 days of little Jaciellie's life. She has been so fun to just watch. Her cute little yawns and silly faces she pulls. She had her first "bath" really just washing her hair and body with a washcloth she wasn't too excited about that. She's been really good in the night sleeps for 3-4 hours at a time. Andrew has been sick since the minute we brought her home so that has made life interesting and made both me and Randy sleep deprived. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful husband and dad he has been such a help and had some pretty restless sleepless nights too this week. Thanks babe for all your help. He even took Jaciellie for her follow up with her bellyrubin??? test at the hospital while I took Andrew to the Doctor. Andrew is starting to feel a little better today just a cough but fever is gone thank goodness. The girls have enjoyed having the baby around so much they had to go play with cousins for day so I could get them to quite fighting over who got to hold her and for how long. they definatly love her.  Avrie's doll she got from Santa took a back seat to the new baby and hasn't been touched since Jaciellie came home. Life is great though even though i'm a little tired having a new little spirit in our home is wonderful!
