Round and Round

Kayden loooves her mobile.  She coos and smiles at it, and I swear sometimes I'm sure she's in there yelling at it telling it to start going again.  She's too funny, she gets so excited once it starts going again!  Only set back:  it only plays for about 3 minutes, which means I'm constantly back in there.  To try to solve this we've recently got a new toy--another music player for her crib that has little animals and plays music/relaxing noises for twenty-five whole minutes!!  We tried it out last nite, and it seemed to keep her entertained.. we think she thought the music was still coming from the mobile--she was not at all interested in the super cool animals moving across the screen, instead she talked to her ladybug friends.  Either way, she was satisfied, as were we. =D

"Well Ms. Ladybug, I ate and then I spit up.  Next I played with mommy, and now I'm here talkin to you =D"

She loves her "next stage" of her little bath tub too.  

And these just cause they're adorable. =)  

I've been slacking on keeping this up to date already.  I told myself I would try to do it every few days at least.  We went to daddy's YAFL game that he coaches on Saturday morning and spent time with Grandma on the sidelines.  Gets us so excited watching how great he is with kids, he's going to be such a fun daddy to play with! =D  

Rock a bye baby.

Grandpa Jerry made her an ammmazing cradle, which unfortunately got a broken bolt on the trip down here when Kayden came, and finally got fixed by my great handy man last week =).  I am so excited we finally get to use it.. and she loves it!

Riley follows her everywhere, always.

Little missy says goo goo! =D She is so much fun to play with now that she interacts.  I'm super bummed-I tried to upload a video of her being adorable but it won't work! Hopefully I will figure it out soon.

We spent Saturday evening at the State Fair.  Indian tacos, watermelon and strawberry juice, and funnel cakes, ohh so perfect!  We walked around and people watched, and enjoyed time out of the house as a family.  Kayden wasn't sure if she necessarily liked it, but she wasn't too fussy at all.  Did much better than I anticipated that's for sure!  It was a great day!  Can't wait until she can eat funnel cakes too. =) 

Back tracking

to bath time.  She loves bath time!  We use a cup to pour water over her tummy and a little soft brush thing we got from the hospital to suds the shampoo and her face is priceless.  I get jealous at times, she looks like she's enjoying it so much ;-p  These pictures are from her first bath when she wasn't so sure if she liked it yet or not, I'll take new pictures of her loving it soon.

Cuddled up in her robe.

Here's one of her holding her rattle a few days ago! =)

And my little sweet pea all dolled up and crashed out.

She is starting to roll around and almost roll over.  Cant quit get all the way tho.  She accidently vibrated her tongue on her lips today and was so shocked at that crazy feeling haha!  Speaking of, she just woke up from a nap and is all smiles...toodles!

Catching up.

Alright.  I've joined the blogging world.  I feel kind of silly, but decided that after 5 weeks of meaning to journal, scrapbook, and write Kayden a letter in her baby book, and instead spending time on my computer (as well as lots of feeding, changing, rocking, goo-ing, ah-ing, and the list goes on but thats another story ;-) ) that I needed to figure out how to start doing..something to remember this precious time.
Oh little miss Kayden Elizabeth.  You are adorable.  For those who haven't met her, she's a cutie I must say.  She is starting to pay more attention and smiles at us when we play with her.  I've discovered that tickling her with my hair under her chin makes her smile and make an excited/fascinated face.

Yeah-These ones.

She held her rattle for the first time the other day, and played with daddy on her "activity mat" today.  Dominic is very good about making sure she gets her tummy time, and she's starting to figure out all those limbs are good for movin n groovin.  Dominic thinks she's close to crawling, but I'm thinkin it's a little early still.  Her last check up was administrated by none other than mom n dad in the produce section of walmart =) ...the verdict?  Already over nine pounds!  We've been taking stroller rides around the neighborhood, to the park, and to walmart a lot lately, as well as finnnally finishing up those birth announcements!  (They're on their way, soon, promise!)  We're enjoying getting used to being at home.  We can't wait until Dominic can get some time off again, but appreciate his hard work so we can fill our tum tums.  Last night Kayden slept for almost eight hours, a new record!  She had her first day of babysitting, the weekend before last at Grandpa Conn's house so we could go to a movie (Rated R-wahoo-real grown up time haha) and did great.  She was sleeping when we got back, which made me feel like.. "whew!" haha!  Then this past weekend was Grandpa Kitts' turn.  He said she did great too, thank goodness!  The dogs love her, and follow her where ever she goes!  I'm so thankful they have been so good.  

I'm sorry that this isn't the most eventful post, but its mostly so that I can record and remember my new role as mommy! =)
