Purple Toes!

Kayden and I had girl day on Tuesday and she got her tiny toes painted by mommy for the first time! =)  She is so funny.  Here is one of her admiring Dozer, and Dozer admiring her, while I painted.

And one of the naked nelly hanging out.

She is getting good at sitting up!  We've been practicing with her new bumbo toy--I'll post soon.  Grandma Kreisher is finally in town so we've been enjoying time with her.  Kayden loooves to snuggle with her, and I'm pretty sure Grandma feels the same way ;-).  We've been doing lots of shopping and hangin out.  We're glad it's the weekend and we get to spend some time with daddy.  I can't believe Kayden is already 11 weeks and 2 days!  Time is flying!  Just wanted to update real quick, but Grandma pictures and more are to come soon.

Punkin Pie.

My little punkin pie =).  Not much has happened but here is a couple pictures real quick because Kayden and Dominic are both napping.  This was on Friday, we got all bundled up to go help daddy and his YAFL kids decorate their bus to go to their game the next morning.  I was so excited to put her in this jacket, and show off her hat when it was actually useful instead of just hot.  I love this one because she looks like she's yelling at Dozer. =) They're always checkin out what she's up to... =p

She has still been working on her sitting up skills and jibber-jabberin.  Lots of that.  Movin n groovin.  Boring post but not much has happened.  I feel like I should post some of these old pictures from before I started the blog, to remember.

First picture of Daddy and Kayden.

 First family picture.

First picture of Mommy and Kayden.

First night at home, looking up at Daddy. =)

Five Generations!

There's so many, and so hard to choose.  Soon I will have to write more about the time before I started this, labor, etc. But enough for now.  Hope everyone has a great week!

Glow and Cutie.

Kayden's first balloon glow!  It was so much fun!  It was windy, but lucky for us the Allstate balloon decided it would try to inflate, which made none other than the Statefarm balloon insist on inflating too of course.  But we sure weren't complaining!  A few other balloons inflated and we enjoyed the "all-burns", of course the delish food, and Kayden in this friggin adorrrrable little jacket.  We could barely stand it.  =D

Kayden, you're precious.

This was before she had her jacket on.. looks colder than it is, dont worry.  But.. Daddy showing Kayden the balloons going up =)

Such a precious Daddy =) ...and baby!

Trying on her new hat and sticking out her tongue! =D

We spent the past week with lots of family.  Visits with aunties and uncles, grandmas and grandpas.  Birthday parties, and football sunday.  The other day we got her out of the car and she was holding on to her hanging toy and had fallen asleep!  She had grabbed it herself! =D  We were so excited!  Here is one of her holding on to both haha! =p

One from Auntie Kourtney's visit.  And these's just cause they're cute. 

om nom nom! yummy blanket?

sweet girl

I realized after I posted the last post, I hadn't posted a picture of her sucking her fist.  This is her favorite thing.  She has a hard time getting her finger actually IN her mouth, but once she does... ohh! heaven!  She tries so hard and once she gets it she is soo pleased.  She loves her first little finger, and puts it in, almost .. backwards.  She sucks and sucks and makes sucha  funny noise and gets drool evvverywhere! =D  

And I love this picture.  Everyone looks so happy.. and it makes me.. so happy.  

Ohhhh I just love this one!

P.S. if you click the pictures they show bigger, probably making for a better save, for those of you who are saving/sending these.

Kayden is so funny..she is loving to talk and smile and get so excited.  She loves her swing, and her crib toy that has little animals and lights that move across the screen.  And of course her lady bugs, always.  She's getting really good at sitting up and likes to sit in the corner of the couch like mom and dad =).  Daddy is working an extra long day, and has football practice today so wont see him til late tonite so we are trying to keep busy and entertained.  We're thinking a Michael's/Hobby Lobby day might be in store =) (we have to make those trips when daddy is busy ;-) )  I am working on more "crafts" than I can handle, expecially when Kayden doesn't let me do one for more than 5 minutes.  But who could resist that precious face?!  We are still very excited for Grandma Kristi to come down and visit!  And now we're getting excited for our Thanksgiving trip too!  Kaydens first vacation--whoo hoo!  

Realized today...

that I now understand what everybody means when they say "You'll do it again." about having babies.  I caught myself thinking about how to answer my friends question; "What is mommyhood like?"  My thought trail took me to remembering how pregnancy was NOT fun... and labor was literally the worst time ..in my liiife.  And surgery was horrible.  And I wanted to die.  But somehow...someway...I would do it again.  She is totally worth it and so amazing!  I guess that's the best way to explain it; that mommyhood and Kayden is totally worth all the misery I went through.  She is so stinkin cute I can barely handle it.  Poor little thing was so tough when she got her shots yesterday, she barely cried at all.  Today she has been sleepy and grumpy, I'm sure she doesn't feel great, but yet she'll crack a smile =).  She was 10 lb 7.5 oz and 22 inches long!  My wittle baybay is growing so fast!  Dominic took off the day yesterday to go to the appointment with us, and we enjoyed a family day on Kayden's 2 month birthday =).

Here's a few more from her photo sesh.

I love this one cause she was talking talking talking to me over to the side =)

Happy Halloween =D

Hahah, love this one cause she's propping herself up on her little arm.

Last week Dominic was tickling her and we caught a little giggle!  She's getting better at holding her head up and is starting to like tummy time more and playing with her toys.  She's been staying in her basinet in our room, because it has been easier to get to her throughout the night.  I know she can't stay in there forever, but I am so nervous and not excited to put her in her big girl room.  It means she's a big girl, and I'm not ready for that lol!  Grandma Kristi is coming to visit later this month and we can't wait!! Still working on a halloween outfit for lil missy... any ideas? =)

First Pictures!

We had a busy busy weekend, with lots of football (between dominic coaching the little one's, and watching all the games) and lots of yummy food.  Hung out with the fam a lot, and ... so excited ... got pictures taken!! <--whoo hoo!! There's many to edit, so I'm just posting a few real quick cause I can barely handle it and can't wait! =)

Auntie Kourtney was in town this weekend, so we spent a lot of time with her =).  I can't find the cord to the camera at the moment, so those pictures are soon to come!

Kayden has her 2 month Dr. appointment tomorrow, which means her 2 month shots as well.  =( I'm not excited!! Poor lil punkin!  She discovered that the little feetsies, on her giraffe rattle that hangs on her carseat, are perfect size to stuff in her mouth and suck on.  Feetsies and fists, totally the best ;-).
