Brittyn Hope-3 months old

Alright so I am almost a whole month later on Brittyn's 3 month details.. She will be 4 months on Thursday but ya know.. here is it, better late than never?

Brittyn Hope at 3 months old:

Weighs 13 lbs 13 oz

Eats 5 oz every 3 hours

Sleeps in stretches at night anywhere from 5-7 hours

Only wakes up once at night (or hopefully none!)

Takes a morning nap and afternoon nap

All 3-6 month clothes, she is a big girl :)

Size 2 diapers

Tolerates tummy time only in small doses

Loves to smile and "talk"

Loves her bouncer chair that vibrates

Has made the weirdest change this month in that she now loves to take her pacifiers to sleep.. I looove this!! It's so much easier to put her back to sleep!!

Has to be swaddled to sleep, she loves it (like her big sisters)

Brittyn is still just a sweet little angel! Believe me, she can throw a tantrum but we have had more "passionate babies" in the past so I am counting my blessings!!

Two months old

On March 26th (Happy's 3rd birthday), Brittyn turned 2 months old!! Here is what she is up to these days..

• Weighs 12 lbs, 11 oz (95th percentile)
• 23 inches long (50th percentile)
• Eats 5 oz every 3 hours
• Sleeps in stretches at night anywhere from 5-7 hours
• Slept through the night for the first time on March 28th! WooHoo!
• Only wakes up once at night (or hopefully none!)
• Naps off and on during day, no real schedule yet
• Can barely fit any of her 0-3 clothes anymore, we are pulling out 3-6 month things
• Size 2 diapers, still a little big but 1's are too small
• Tolerates tummy time only in small doses
• Likes us talking to her and looking at our faces.. all you have to do is look at her and she will smile :)
• Loves her bouncer chair that vibrates
• Has come a little bit more into her personality. She is a little more demanding then she was at one month but she is still sweet as sugar.. just a girl who knows what she wants! :)
• Hates her pacifier and the car seat!! She is not one of those babies that loves car rides.. it's torture for her!
•  Has to be swaddled to sleep, she loves it (like her big sisters)

At her two month check up

She got three shots and was still smiling after.. :)

I can hardly believe Brittyn is already 2 months old! Seems like we were counting down the days till she was born yesterday! We love everything about her and get the most compliments on her hair, LOL!

Happy 2 months old to the littlest Loftin, Brittyn Hope!

smile and the world smiles with you..

First smiles.. March 10, 2011

Obsessed.

We have been blessed again with some amazing pictures of our favorite kids from our favorite photographer, Brooke Ogilvie! The kids had a blast running wild in Baird, Texas while Brooke snapped away and sweet Brittyn slept through the entire shoot.

Braelyn- age 4, Brylee- almost 3 and Brittyn- 6 weeks old

Funny that Brooke captures this little moment below cause I am always telling these girls to "stop biting your nails" and "get your hands outta your mouth"! Classic..

My favorite newborn, Brittyn Hope, in all her sweet sleeping, smiling, pretty hair glory :)

If you know Happy Faith.. this picture below just makes sense! Let me just say.. to know her is to love her! She is more attitude and personality than all the 2 year olds in the world! I've said it a million times but she will change the world one day because the world will never change her!! Every word out of her mouth is hilarious and her heart is made of gold. There has never been a more thankful, grateful child! She tells me every little thing she appreciates over and over and over! You can buy her a drink at Sonic and she will spend the rest of the day thanking me for it. Thank you, Lord, for that grateful heart!

 Is there anything more peaceful than a sleeping baby? I think not. Brittyn Hope has filled our hearts with more joy than we ever thought possible! I don't care if you have 20 kids, you are still just as thankful, excited and blessed. She is the perfect addition to our family in her sleepy, sweet spirited way! She is on a mission to prove herself exact opposite of her big sisters and we welcome the challenge. She is paving a new path through our hearts. I'm in love with her!

 Here is my itty bitty comedian again below.. :)

 And finally, pure blessing in my precious firstborn, Braelyn Grace! Braelyn taught me everything I ever needed to know about being a mom! She wears her heart on her sleeve and her emotions run deep. She loves with all she has.. I feel the exact same way. She is giggles and smiles that can quickly turn to tears and back again in less than 5 minutes!! I love her being, seriously, the best big sister ever. I just know she is going to set the example that we will pray her little sisters will follow. I couldn't be more proud to tell people that I am "Braelyn's mom".

 Can I just say there isn't anything more precious than seeing my babies love each other?! Braelyn and Happy think Brittyn is the best thing that ever happened to this world and we think that about all three of them!!

 They are best friends. I look forward to the day Brittyn is running and playing with her big sisters! I'm sure they have plenty of cool things to teach her ;)

 The picture of Braelyn with Brittyn below melts my heart. She is crazy in love with that baby!!

 I let them throw rocks in the air.. anything for a good picture! lol

I am so thankful for each one of these pictures and I can't wait to see the rest Brooke is preparing for us. She has captures my kids personalities and I know I will look back one day and miss these crazy, sweet days of three little babies. Few people in this world would enjoy three kids ages 4 and under and I am loving every second of it (well, ya know, almost every second lol). My heart is full!

Thanks for listening reading my bragging on my little babies!! :) I am obsessed with these 3 kids!

Not a big fan of her pacifier but I am trying a Soothie one and she likes it better (this is very weird for us cause Braelyn and Happy always loved their "suckers")

Has to be swaddled to sleep, she loves it (like her big sisters)

Brittyn is such a sweet baby! We are crazy about her!

6 weeks

So I am not sure how I let my blog get so behind all the fun things that have been going on. Oh, wait! I know how it happened.. I have three kids :)
I'll have to share just some of my favorite pictures because I have taken over 500 in the past few weeks, ha!
Braelyn and Brittyn the day we came home from the hospital.. Braelyn is very in love with Brittyn!

When she was 3 days old Granny, Papa and Aunt Beverly came to meet Miss Brittyn and of course, they loved seeing Braelyn and Happy, too! :)

We get lots of cuddle time with Brittyn. Her big sister think she is the best thing that ever happened to the world :)

And then of course, came the infamous blizzard in Texas. When Brittyn was 5 days old the snow hit and we were snowed in for four whole days with a newborn, 2 year old and 4 year old. It was actually really nice since taking a newborn all over the place is not ideal. We had lots of fun and came up with lots of games for the big girls to play to keep them entertained. Brittyn slept through the snow but I took a picture with her by the snow for memories! :) Her first snow.. 5 days old!

Valentine's Day with our little loves <3

Braelyn, Happy and I got the chance to go see Beauty and the Beast live with some friends and family. They loved it and it was such a great show! Brittyn stayed at home with Daddy and Jampa :)

Sisters!!

It has been so much fun being the mommy of three! She has been the sweetest little blessing :)
