1/2 Year! September 30, 2007

This has been kind of a low key month for the Schweers family and that has been nice. School is in full swing for poppa and momma is getting a pretty good schedule worked out with our sweet girl.  We even closed on a condo and will be moving soon.  The Tuttles have been super generous in opening up their house and their lives to us.  It has really allowed us to get on our feet financially and has been a huge blessing, but it is time to start a new chapter now.

 Eisley continues to delight.  She is now sleeping on a fairly regular time schedule.  Going to bed around 7:30 and waking up for a 4:30am feeding and then back to sleep until 7 or 9 depending on the mood.  Also been taking a consistent 2 hour morning nap and sometimes an afternoon one.  She is sitting up unassisted and enjoys her play time more now.  She still isn’t rolling over on her own even though our doctor checked that off her list 1 month ago because she goes 3/4 of the way.  Not real interested in the tummy time.  Her hands are becoming much more useful tools and she enjoys a good session of noise making but nothing close to coherent yet………………..although I thought I heard her say something about peace in the Middle East.  

Eisley has been a life changer of course, but we wouldn’t want it any other way. 

5 Months September 3, 2007

Another month down. With a recent trip to Florida, Ms. Eisley got the chance to meet most of the Florida family.  Eisley was able to visit the beach with Molly, Creston and Ashley and of course Cade and Kirby.  She got to meet her Great Grandpa and Grandma, cousins- Skylah, Naomi, Alexis, Hailey, Jonas, Cade, and Kirby, Aunt Ashley, Uncle Creston, Aunt Mary, Uncle Dan, Aunt Stacey, Uncle Tracey, Uncle Mike, Aunt Sandy, Uncle Josh, and Uncle Jack.  Lots of hands to hold her and love her! 

 Eisley is continuing to grow.  We might have misweighed last time as we weighed her on the scale with us and then just subtracted her weight from ours. The doctor weighed her officially last week at 18lbs and 3 oz  and she is 26 6/8 inches long.  She continues to be in the 90th percentile in weight and height. She has been teething quite a bit which has disrupted her sleeping habits.  Which of course mom and dad look a little like zombies at times.  The doctor checked her off for rolling over but she still needs some prompting in that department……..it takes quite a bit of momentum to get her going.  She continues to coo, smile and all the other cute things that babies do.
