Finley is 2 months!!

Finley is 2 months! Its crazy how time flies, she already has such a personality. She laughs and smiles so much, she goo's, making a lot of noise. She doesn't sleep very good at night but we're working on that!
She went to the Dr for her 2 month check up, she is GROWING!!
Height: 22 3/4 -70 percentile
Weight: 10 lbs 12 oz -50 percentile
Head: 14 3/4 - 75 percentile

She had to get her shots and I was so sad! I hated it. She had to get 3 two in one leg and one in the other and had to drink one. Oh has anyone not given thier kids the flu shot? I was told not to is this true?



Other than that there isn't much else going on, Ryan's parents are here visiting, Nicole had her baby, Jaxson! Life is great here in Az the heat isn't even that bad anymore!

One Year



Its been a year!! Ryan and I celebrated our first anniversary on the 8th, I really just can't believe how much has happened in our first year! We moved from South Carolina to Arizona, then to a new apartment, found out we were going to have a baby, had our baby girl, and a lot more that I can't really think of right now.
For our anniversary we went out to eat at Outback Steak house, I had the crab legs, my FAV!! Ryan was so cute I went to the bathroom and he ordered everything for my perfectly! I love my hubby is so great to me! Then we went to the movies Transformers, it was pretty good not as good as the first one but ok! kThis wonderful night was possible because of Ryan's mom, Thank you so much Robbie for watching Fin it was wonderful to have a break!! And also thank you again to Ryan for an amazing night, I love you baby, you are so great to us. Can't wait to spend forever with you!

Sleeping habits...or lack of

The other night was a rough one here in the Johnson house, Finley was on a rampage. It was getting to be night and she was wide awake just laying there so my stupid self thinks oh good she is going to sleep good tonight...boy was I wrong!! It got later and later and she became more and more fussy, I fed her and changed her diaper, nothing helped she was throwing a fit of all fits. Screaming, cryin, we can't comfort her she isn't comfy being held, she doesn't want to be put down!! So after 2 hours of that trying everything, the swing, the bed by use, swaddling her, feed her more, nothing was working... We put her in her car seat and I walked around the whole apartment til she fell asleep! Finally she was out, but now a dilema do we leave her in there or try and take her out...we left her in why wake a sleeping baby right. We put the car seat on the bed up by our heads in between Ry and I! She slept til like 5 am and then we put her in her crib so she could stretch out! Ah it was a rough night, if anyone can tell me any secrets to getting a baby on a schedule or helping her sleep it would be much appreciated!!

Finley and I went to Utah for about 10 days, it was so great to see all my family and friends. Finley really really loved all the attention she got the whole time we were there.
This is at my Gma's house she was so tired so my mom just layed her out on the table and she slept like this for a good hour!
