Happy Halloween

Sayler is 6 weeks so we went to a doctor's appointment for me and she got to wear her Halloween onesie with matching socks (thanks, Elbom).

We attempted to get a picture of Sayler with Big Brother Sam but he kept trying to jump off the couch.  Valentina got her this precious strawberry costume.

Sayler's all dressed up for our Halloween night dinner with Brian & Emily.  She slept through the whole dinner which was so nice.

 

Our good friends Jason and Danna welcomed twin girls on Halloween - Sydney and Casey. 

Play Time

Sayler is staying awake more and more.  We're enjoying playing with her and she's becoming more aware of her surroundings!

First "Real" Bath

Sayler doesn't mind bathtime now that they aren't sponge baths any more.  She actually likes the water and Tracy still does a better job than me.

After her bath....  These are my favorite pajamas - they have little cupcakes on them.

2 Weeks

We visited Dr. Filak for Sayler's 2 week check-up.  Sayler is 20 1/2 inches (75th percentile) and 7 pounds, 4 1/2 ounces (25th percentile). This was our first outing with Sayler and thank goodness my mother went with me because I could not have done it by myself.  Just trying to get her in and out of the car seat was hard enough.

First Bath

She was not a fan of bathtime.

First Day Home

Sayler slept the whole way home in the car!

Once we were home her lamb swing was her favorite sleeping spot.

It's a Girl!

Sayler & Daddy

We finally meet

I went to my 36 week appt. and my doctor said she didn't think the baby was coming any time soon but 36 hours later my water broke at 3am.  Sayler was born at 12:30pm on September 16, 2009.  She weighed 6 pounds, 6 ounces and was 19 inches long.  We were relieved that even though she was 3 1/2 weeks early she was very strong and healthy.  We didn't find out the gender ahead of time so we were so excited to find out if we were having a boy and or a girl.
