So I really loved using the chalk board to track my pregnancy. I think it was a fun way to make the long pregnancy go by a little quicker and I know I am going to love comparing the pictures to my next pregnancy.
Well after the pregnancy was over I tried and tried to think of something to do with my new little girl that was similar. I thought of doing the little monthly sticker on the shirt but I wanted something new and different.
Oh and then I had another problem on my hands. I had this huge chalk board sitting in my house that I had no idea what to do with. I debated just throwing it out until..
I GOT A GREAT IDEA!!
Tracking my babies growth, via chalk board!!
My little boy is only 3 years old and I am already forgetting at what age he started doing things. So this is my great idea for tracking it so I won't forget!
YAY! :)
Age: 2 months
Height: 23 inches, 67%
Weight: 10lbs, 18%
Head: 38 cm, 19%
Milestones: Laikynn is smiling BIG now! She is also very alert and loves looking at everything!! She can also hold her head of very well and can sit in her bumbo! She also loves grabbing her toys!
Sleep: She is such a good little sleeper! She sleeps all the way through the night. From about 10pm to 6:30am. Then she wakes up eats and goes straight back to sleep.
Best Moment: Um.. I love every minute of everyday with my sweet baby girl! She is such an awesome baby! And brings me so much happiness!
Worst Moment: I actually don't think Laikynn has had a bad moment yet. She really is a great baby and hasn't had any problems, thank goodness!
Worst Moment: I actually don't think Laikynn has had a bad moment yet. She really is a great baby and hasn't had any problems, thank goodness!
Health: She is growing great and is a happy, healthy baby!
Eating: Laikynn eats like a champ! I was so worried because her older brother was the worst at nursing and I ended up having to pump a bottle for him every time. But Laikynn has done great and is still doing great!
Teeth: I thought I saw some coming in but I am pretty sure they went back down (yes, my children teeth way too early!)
Extra comments: She got her ears pierced!! The doctor said as soon as she gets her 2 months shots she could get her ears pierced. So right after she got them we went to get her ears pierced!! Okay, not right after we waited a few hours in between ;) She cried for like 2 seconds and has been fine ever since! I am glad we did it early so that she won't play with them and have them get infected. Plus she looks SO cute with them!!

Great idea. I might have to do this when my baby comes in November
ReplyDeleteWow! You're so lucky to get so much sleep. I'm lucky if we get 4 hours this side. Happy 2 months Laikynn, you're gorgeous!
ReplyDeletewhere did you get the chalkboard?
ReplyDeleteI made it! i am going to do a tutorial on how I did!
Deletehow do you get your chalk to show up so neat and nice and pretty. I have a chalkboard but my chalk always looks so dull in color. I want it bright like yours!!
ReplyDeleteUmm I just get the chalk from walmart. Its the big thick ones (they are actually my little boys ha!) So they come in lots of fun colors. Then I always take the picture in front of a window so it has a lot of natural light, that might help too!
Deletehi McKinli! I stumbled across your blog and just love it! i am also pregnant with my 2nd, a girl this time :) and might just have to steal this chalkboard idea! your little one is just precious!
ReplyDeleteHi!! I Love this!!! Also love the outfit ! I didn't see the skirt and headband on your site for sale :( where did you buy ?
ReplyDeleteHey, thank you! Yes it is on the site! Just under diaper covers :)
DeleteI just turned it around for the picture so you can see the ruffles! Super cute!
DeleteHey! I also love the outfit!! Will you be selling shirts and headbands like this on your site?? ktprovencher@gmail.com
ReplyDeletewoops I meant skirts :)
DeleteYep, its on the site! Its just a diaper cover I just turned it around so you could see the ruffles so its under the diaper cover section on the site! And the headband is under hair accessories! I can make pretty much any color! :)
DeleteSo cute! I was planning on re-using my chalkboard for my little man too ... but I think I'm going to have to make another one for him because we're going to put ours up in the kitchen area to have for grocery lists, menu items and things like that! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is fun! We actually had left over chalk board paint and decided to paint the back side of the pantry door to do that same thing! :)
DeleteHi McKinli! I ordered a name banner from your Etsy shop in February ("Jensen") and that's how I found your blog. What is your secret to getting your sweet girl to sleep through the night? I'd love to know if you're doing anything in particular. :) And I have a few maternity photos I can share with you where we used the name banner if you want to use them for your Etsy shop. Just let me know where to send them!
ReplyDeleteI just love you're blog!! You're family is so sweet. I have a 8 month old girl and we have loved all the headband and flower tutorials!!! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I found your blog through Pinterest! I'm so excited to be a new follower!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am pregnant for the first time and I am dying over all your cute outfits! Where did you shop for maternity clothes??
ReplyDeleteHey! I actually never bought any maternity clothes. I just bought like looser clothing so that I could wear it even after I was pregnant. (I couldn't talk myself into buying a whole new wardrobe for only a few months.) I usually shopped at Bohme, is is like my favorite store.. It might only be in Utah and there website has a few things but not much. I also shopped at buckle a lot! Good luck with your pregnancy and enjoy your new little one!!
DeleteWhat are the measurements of your chalkboard?
