Easter Week

So today was my last final yayyy! Which meant last week sucked because I had to study my hiney off which is bad enough let alone try to juggle Channing. Thank goodness i have amazing friends and family that volunteered to help watch her for me so I could study without her. It was so amazing to study without channing, I was 100% more productive. I really took for granted how easy it was to study and how simple going to school was before I had Chan.

Friday my friend Mollie was amazing enough to watch boo along with her other two kids. Yea super mom! This was the first time that someone not family watched her, it was easy leaving her because i know how good a mom Mollie is. When i dropped Channing off Mollie also gave me the cutest clothes ever. Who babysits for free and gives you amazingly cute stuff at the same time....shes awesome.
One of the outfits that Mollie gave us
Ethan is such a sweet boy and was so nice to Channing. He would give her kisses and hold her hand and rub her head it was so cute. All three babies playing together (notice ethan kissing chans hand..love it)

Bay Bay and Chan playing...going to be best friends

It was then the weekend and David got to watch her while I went to the library to study.

Channing helping her Daddy out when he was working on the computer.

Tuesday came and Aunt Stephanie was so sweet to offer to watch Channing for me. She has such a full schedule and wanted to help me so bad that she just took Channing with her to do her errands and plans. I love my Aunt Stephanie and love that Chan got to spend time and get to know her a little.

My Mom then got back from her trip from Idaho and even though she was exhausted and had a huge event that she had to plan and set up she still watched Channing for me. My mom is an awesome grandma and baby sure does love her Sugar. Channing was in another outfit that Mollie gave us the day mom watched her.

So in the middle of all that studying and baby watching it was Easter. My family was out of town : ( but we still got together with my cousins and aunts. We had a delicious dinner my aunts cook the yummiest food and I love seeing all of my cousins (especially now that lendrum and mckay are home yayyy).

Today before my exam Channing went and got her four month shots. Her stools are now blood free thanks to Neocate yay. p.s. another outfit that Mollie gave us : )

Roll Baby Roll

Chan is officially rolling over! She had rolled over a few times now and then but now as soon as i put her down she tries to roll over and budge herself around. I can't wait until she can crawl and walk!

Woohooo go baby!!! Proud mama : )

This is Channings new favorite toy she loves that it lets her stand up because she does NOT want to lay down at all ever (thanks julie and fam for letting us borrow this)

look at those chubby little legs

baby girl is teething she always makes this face and bites really hard on whatever she can and then gets mad

teething

"what is this..?

I don't know if I like this mom

..decided i love this strawberry for my teeth

We went to the strawberry patch again with more friends : ) from left to right it is...me and channing, lauren and baby thomas, mary jo and baby georgi, and britt is wearing sarah jane (she is the auntie) and amie (the mommy)yes they are identical twins lol...this picture inspired me to get my hiney in shape! I've only ate unprocessed food for two days now (I know two days is like nothing but you have to start somewhere!) Mark my words I will be back to myself by the end of the summer)

lovey checking out the strawberries

Hot mom of the year award goes to ..Mary Jo!
So even though I was really sad that I had to stop breast feeding I am so excited that I can finally after a year be on medications again! yayyy! I went to my regular doctor tuesday and got sea sickness medicine and fever blister medicine, and went to my dermatologist today for acne medicine and stuff for stretch marks. So excited to start being myself again!

Sophie

Daddy Introducing Channing to her new toy Sophie

First time trying out Sophie mmmm I think i like Sophie

yep i do

She is in love!

Channing is now teething and won't take her paci anymore. I decided to go get her a Sophie giraffe because some people swear by them. I was on my way to get one when my friend Mary Jo called and told me she had one that Georgi doesn't use anymore and Channing could use it! I was excited to save the 30 dollars and celebrated by going to Princess of Tides and spending the 30 that i saved hahah. I resisted the thousands of cute outfits that were in there but got her some headbands and bows because she outgrew her other newborn set. (p.s. i didn't spend all 30 just 10 and I am counting it as her Easter present!) o and the outfit she wore was also from Georgi, it's so nice to have awesome friends

My favorite outfit that Channing wears is her birthday suite. Her little rolls,blue eyes, and big smile are irresistible to me. In the morning when i change her I always let her talk and play nakey for a little while which she loves. I decided to upload a thousand pictures of the same thing because I love all of the pictures and her expressions and can't decide which one is my favorite.

State Champs

Natalie and Nicole's lacrosse team went to play in the state championship game in Columbia on Saturday. I haven't been able to go to any of there games this year because of Channing and really really wanted to go and support them in the last game they would ever play and hopefully cheer them on to victory. We went and spent the weekend with Mickey in Aiken since she only lives 40 mins from Columbia. Channing did so good on the drive down and slept almost the whole way! (p.s. we basically packed our whole house to go down there and even colby came)

The next day we got up and drove to Columbia it was wayyyyyyy windy and within 10 mins it went from windy to pouring down rain coming from all directions. We had one umbrella for 5 of us so we all huddled on and i covered channing in blankets. The game continued on and Natalie, Nicole, and Sierra dominated. 10 minutes after pouring rain the rain stopped and then the sun came out and was burning hot. Wando then pulled through and won state it was an amazing game and it was so fun to see them play.

Mommy, Daddy, and Baby

Chan with the State Champs!!

With her aunties

We stopped at Dukes (the best barbecue place) on the way home from the game

I can't wait until i can let her taste the food it's going to be so fun to watch her explore all the different foods

Sunday we went for a walk and explored the new subdivision that is being built down the road from Mickey. We got to go in and explore four of the houses it was crazy that you could buy a big house in Aiken for 140's when you probably couldn't buy a shack in mt pleasant for 140's. Anyway....she always falls asleep on our walks and I love when she wakes up because you just see two little blue eyes peeping out at you and then a big smile across her face...so sweet.
