9 Weeks - Start of Daycare

These are the three Perry girls. Erynn is the top one (the youngest), Scott's brothers daughters are then Emily (the next youngest) and Lauren (the oldest). These were all taken when they were little. It is amazing how similar they look to each other. Emily is now 16 months old and Lauren is 3 1/2 years old. It appears that the Perry gene is strong in our little girls.

Erynn started daycare this week and mom did ok. It seems she likes to sleep in her crib at daycare but not at home yet. Maybe she will get more independent soon. She is now over 11 pounds and laughing on occasion. We are heading to Kentucky this weekend to see Scott's family and visit with Erynn's cousins. We wish everyone a Happy New Year. It is hard to believe that this time last year we were still fighting through the infertility procedures and now we have our beautiful little girl. What a difference a year makes!

8 Weeks and over 9 pounds now!

We are now at 8 weeks and Erynn is close to double her weight from birth! Yeah! She now is starting to have some rolls of baby fat and is really paying alot of attention to things around her when she is awake. She starts daycare next Tuesday when I go back to work so wish us luck! Then on New Year's we will take our first out of town trip to Kentucky to visit Scott's family. We wish you all a Merry Christmas!

7 Weeks - Christmas Card

We are at 7 weeks and doing well. Erynn visited with the orthopedic doctor this week and it was confirmed that she does not have any hip issues like it was thought when she was born. So her parents are very happy that she will not need to wear a sling. She was also weighed and is now around 9 pounds. I told Scott that she is starting to finally have that roly poly look about her. She goes back to her pediatrician on Friday and hopefully he will be happy with her progress.

I only have one more week at home then Erynn will be off to daycare and I will be back at work. Wish us both luck!

Attached is the picture that was sent out with our Christmas cards this year. For those of you who did not get one enjoy the cute face!


Update: At her 7 week dr visit, Erynn now weighs 9 pounds 3 ounces and is 21 inches long! Dr thinks she is doing great!

6 Weeks - Doesn't Seem That Long

Today our little girl is 6 weeks old! Hard to believe that it has been that long since she arrived. She is still growing and doing well. She has a little nasal congestion but those who know me well know that this is just something she probably inherited from her mom. She doesn't have a fever, is eating and messing up those diapers without a problem so she probably is just dealing with allergies like me.

I did decide this week to give in to her about the sleeping issue. She sleeps best with us even though her grandma bought her a bassinet. So the cosleeper is in the bed with us and that is where she sleeps for now. I will try over time to get her into her own bed but we both need to get rest so I am working with her comfort level.

She goes for her checkup next week so hopefully she has grown as much as the doctor wants.
