Charlee Jean {6 Weeks}

This morning Sutton, Charlee, and I went to see Dr. Romero to get Charlee's immunizations she is now official ready for Daycare. Charlee did very well and Sutton was a big help, you can see Sutton playing doctor. It was cute she was asking me... "Mommy are you taking your vitamins?" "Are you sleeping?" I wish I would have video taped her! She is a ball!

Charlee is weighting in at 10lbs and 10oz. and 21.75 inch in length. For fun we weighted Sutton- she is a whopping 39.6lbs. Both are big girls! Charlee is sleeping 7 hours at night and eating every 3 hours during the day. She loves smiles at her big sister and (cooing) talking to her.  Just for fun I posted a picture of both Sutton and Charlee at 6 weeks old.  I love that they are wearing the same outfits, but I must say they look very different from each other!

Wildflower festival

The girls spent the day at the wildflower festival. The weather was great and my company was the best! We visited the petting zoo, rode a pony, made noodle bracelets, ate candy, and jumped in about 20 jump houses!!  
Proud Sister!

Charlee Jean {One Month}


 
 
Dear Charlee Jean,
 
You are already transition from the newborn phase and it happened in a blink of an eye!  So what was the first month like for you?  You nurse every 2-3 hours during the day.  You are a really hungry girl.... when you do nurse you almost always get a little chock because you are in such a hurry.  Nights are pretty much the same however, this last week you have started going every 4 hours, which is a treat.  You love to be rocked and sleep best in your car seat, and of course daddy's arms. Your favorite activity is going for a stroll in your carriage.  Your Sister LOVE'S to give you kisses and hugs... you get about 10 and hours and if it were up to her you would get 100!  You are the best little buddies.
 
You are growing and changing so much day by day!  I can not wait to see what you weigh at your 2 month appointment.. you're defiantly chunking up and I love it! 
 
To say the first month flew by would be a huge understatement!  You have been such a sweet addition to our family, and have made the transition to a family of four so wonderful.  We love you so much Charlee Jean.

3 Weeks old

Well life is keeping me a little busy lately, but things are going well. Charlee is already 3 weeks old and we are starting to settle into a routine here, for which I'm very thankful. I have to say that the adjustment to having 2 kids has been much better than I anticipated. Don't get me wrong; it is exhausting at times, but overall I am pleasantly surprised at how well our family has transitioned. That being said, we're just taking it a day at a time, and I know at any given moment I could be singing a different tune. Ha! But seriously, I do feel blessed that we're surviving as well as we are. :) Charlee is a sweet baby and is growing and changing every day!  Her favorite hobby is looking at the lights.  She learned to smile this week and loves to shows her gums to daddy and sister.  


And then we have Sutton. Oh Sutton She continues to work on her title as Big Sister of the Year. She is always ready to lend a helping hand, whether it be changing her diaper or trying to nurse her. She hasn't really hurt her yet, though she's come close. She LOVES to lay next to her on the floor and give hugs and kisses.

Will Baby Schmidt 2.0 be a BOY or a GIRL?
