2 Months of Dallin

We are 2 Months Old!

Stats: 14lb 15oz (91%), 24in (80%) and 93% head

So we guessed about right. He is heavy.

To put it in perspective, he is 2 lbs heavier than Lexi was...

Fun facts: he is wearing 6 month clothing, mostly 3-6 non-Gerber clothing and size 2 diapers (probably should have moved up even sooner! He is averaging one 3.5 hour stretch at night followed by 2 hour periods still. The doctor encouraged us to feed every 2 hours during the day to try and get longer stretches at night. Although we have noticed a wheeze of sorts when he sleeps, his lungs are great, which means his throat and nose are just a little underdeveloped still. And along with reflux, that's where we guess the breathing & choking discomforts come from. He got his first stuffy nose a couple days ago to make things better... Overall, he is still a happy baby and smiling and cooing with such ease these days. He still prefers to take naps on us; we have a difficult time getting him to nap longer than 30 min in a cradle or swing. There could be worse things though. We love our easy going, happy eater.

I think this explains perfectly what he feels about his sister...

I can see his future now...

There is a Plan for That

Perhaps I'm ready to begin again, again. I struggle to add more words to the universe & I feel the same with photos. I let two of my passions die, both rather abruptly. My posts used to write themselves, I felt so guided in what God needed me to say. But this past year, my words have been removed. I moved from this blog over to Instagram as a better place to connect, but then everything became a distraction, and even the good distractions soon became too overwhelming. I can't possibly do every craft or recipe I've saved at this point. Unfortunately, I became painfully aware of my addictive attachment to my algorithm & lost much of my peace & productivity because of it. Satan knew, but I was too slow to recognize complacency & emptiness disguised as creative options & worldly debates. "The days are gone that you can be a quiet and comfortable Christian." I am definitely not raising quiet Christians, but perhaps we are still trying to be too co...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi, We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates. I'm okay with not needing a changing table. It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too. Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . . Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes. And even a mobile. Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...
