3 Months old!


I can almost walk!



I still love snoozing in my swing


Our big girl is already 3 months old. At her 3 month appointment she weighed 13lbs 11oz and measured 24in...she's probably close to 15lbs now hahaha. She loves to talk your ear off. She has the best laugh I've ever heard in my life and loves to eat her hands and pull my hair.

I don't want to go to sleep mom

Sammie's first big girl shower


She loved it and it's so much easier for mommy

Xmas 2009

Sam spent most of Xmas eve knocked out asleep. I think she got a lot of stimulation and it tired her out



Milk drunk...notice the big drop of milk in the corner of her mouth



Sooooo wasted

My beautiful sleeping Christmas baby


Thanks for my bouncy chair Grandma Carolyn! I love it!!


I think she's flipping me off for putting that hat on her head



I'm sooo funny

My first doll!

Boob juice

Sorry, but I need to vent because I'm getting frustrated

Sam is an excellent breastfeeder and has been since the day she was born but for the last few weeks, it seems like I can't satisfy her hunger at all.She breastfeeds for 10-15 minutes on each side and seems like she is satisfied but within 5 minutes she has a fit and acts like she hasn't eaten in hours. Sometimes she even gets really upset while she is breastfeeding as if nothing is coming out. I just don't know what to do. It is very frustrating and it feels like I can't satisfy my child's hunger. The only time that she seems satisfied after feeding is in the middle of the night. That's actually the only time that my breasts feel full and it's usually because it's been 4-4.5hrs since she last fed instead of 2-3hrs. I've been taking Fenugreek to help increase my milk production and I pump after her feedings (most of them...sometimes I can't) to make sure that I am completely empty so that my body knows to make more milk. When I pump after feeding her, I barely get 10-15cc so I know that she empties me out when she feeds. I know breast is best (and easier), but I want her to be happy and not feel like she is starving all the time.
