Mickey Mouse Playhouse.

Just a quick one of the chickadee enjoying her morning of Mickey Mouse Playhouse.

I'm not sure if she was even interested in the show.  She mostly just was happy sitting up playing with her toys.  But I was excited that my big girl was sitting up hanging out. =)  She's done it a few times, but its still cool to me.  I'm not sure how I feel about the constant sound of silly music yet though (not that this is a new sound, at all.  It just seems to be getting more and more constant).


We've had a very busy couple of days with LOTS of errand running it feels like.  I'm not sure if I'm just loosing my lists, or my mind.  I was told I got a job this week!  I start on Monday.  Mixed feelings about that as well.  It will be good for our family but I am supppper sad to send her to day care, especially when she can't talk yet.  I really had my heart set on not doing that.  But we'll see how it goes.  One day at a time right?  =(.  Hopefully she'll make some friends (I say this as though she can talk =/).  Ey yi yi.  I don't know about that.  

Anyway.  It is Thursday.  Which means its almost Friday!  Whoo hoo!  My last weekend of stay at home Mommy.  I better soak it all in.

Mama Paparazzi!! Play date galore and more.

Kayden has a girl friend!  Yahoo! =)  And I have a new friend too.  My old roomate, Lorenzo, his cousin, Alicia, happens to have a baby girl, Adelynn, that is almost exactly a month younger than Kayden.  We somehow, had never met, but became friends on Facebook, (I love Facebook).  So we finally hung out yesterday and made tutus (I will put a pic up asap!).  =D 

I love this one of lil missy.



Here are the girls after our trip to hobby lobby.  Pooped!


A bunch of the girls! =)


I am so proud of my sitting big girl!


Sadly, she was a droooooolly mess.  But still cute.


Almost holding hands! =D


Hahaha!


Later gator!





Pretty Alicia and the girls.  I love this picture!


She finally caught the camera cord, after all that grabbing for it! ;-)


"This is my mean face!"  This still really isn't her mean face, this is her talking face haha.  Or more like her gurgling voice.


We got to have another play date!!  This past weekend Stephanie and Isaac came by and we got a few pictures but sadly not very many non-blurry ones =(.

This is her boyfriend ;-).



Haha, showing him her mirror! =) (It's a mirror on the other side of that green toy.)


 "Ohh, ya know, just hanging out."  Ahh!!  She's such a big girl!  =)/=(


Haha!!  Daddy is walking her feet on the ceiling, and she is cracking up!!


This was just a quick shot yesterday before our play date... she loooves her glitter shoes!


I fed her bananas for breakfast this morning.  =)
I am working on Kiddo Valentines Day Cards for a teacher friend for her kiddos today.
(Please feel freeee to orrrrrrrder something cool and fun from Krafts Galore! =) Click here to check it out! )
Hopefully we will all go on a walk tonight!
Have a great Tuesday peeps!
=)

My blue eyed girl.

ALRIGHT!!  First -- please take notice and check out my new Facebook Page!! ---->
PLEASE, PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS! =)
I believe you can click the link, even if you are not a Facebook member.
I am working and brainstorming away to find a way to make some extra cash these days.  Please feel free to look around and contact me at kayla_conn@yahoo.com with ANY questions, custom orders, suggestions, ideas, etc! =)  Thank you! Thank you!  (Don't forget, there are birthday's year round people, do you have your birthday cards on hand?) ;-)

Now.  For the more interesting part.  This little goober is getting soo good at sitting up!  She can pretty much sit up all on her own, but if she jerks then she usually topples over - which makes for a mad Kayden, so we're working on that.  ;-)


 The dogs are always close by!  They lof her.


Kayden loooves the mirror!  I was trying to get a good one of both of us (I can only make her smile for the camera in the mirror, other wise she's too distracted by the camera), but I ended up looking like a freak.  She's cute tho =).


Her new favorite thing to do is lay with her tiny bum against the bottom of the book case, and slide her feet across the old VHS's.  There is a little extra room, so they make a loud obnoxious noise.  She thinks this is superb.  Other favorite things:  1.  Grab.  Anything.  Your mouth.  Your nose.  Your eye ball.  Your eye ball lid with her razor sharp nails and grip of a cobra.  Mommy's hair, which is getting thinner and thinner by the day because of this.  Anything really.  She, in a whole, is a danger zone.


She can stand!!  (For about .3 seconds but hey!)  She was doing it all by herself for about .3 seconds, but I wasn't quick enough with the camera.


Haha!  Heyyyy girrrrlfriend.  You look super cool!  This is on the way to the park last week.  Her cool shades lasted about 15 seconds and she was breaking them/stabbing herself in the eye trying to eat them. Bummer!  We'll try again soon.


But she still loves the swing!!


Ohh its so fun! =D


Grandpa and Grandma Kitts got her a little bears jersey.  (Daddy is not happy about this -- he is a Bills fan.  100%)  Anyway, she wore it on Sunday, and Josh had the same exact jersey on, so I, of course, had to get some pictures.  And yes I realize her bow doesn't really match, but she needed it, to look like a cute little girl.  haha.


She is soooo white!! HAha!! 1/2 of the people are paying attention:


1/2 of the people are paying attention again ;-):



She's so close to crawling!! =)


She matches the room ;-)


Kayden and Daddy watching the game.


Daddy had to go out of town for work for a couple days this week =(.  So Aunt Chris came to hang out =).  We've always liked to color and chit-chat.  So that is what we did.  =)  (Kayden hung out and gib-gabbed.  ;-) )


Haha this one just cracks me up.  It's getting so hard to take pictures of her!  She is constantly trying to grab the camera!  And those eyes... ohh girl I love those eyes.


I like how you can see her mouth through the toy here.


Hey little cutie.


All three, rolling on the floor.  =)


Still loves her bouncer!


Grabbing for the camera again.  Little stinker! =)


Heyyy!  Why you keep doing that and not let me touch it!

This is really a happy face-- haha she cracks me up how she uses her WHOLE face to smile! =D


We weighed her last nite finally.  18 POUNDS!  My little chunka munka!  And about 27 inches long!!  She's growing so fast!

Hmmm..what have we been up to?  She's been rolling like a crazy thang.  And is soo close to crawling.  She can almost hold her bottle all by herself - but can't figure out how to tip her head back.  This weekend we just pretty much hung out - a much needed kind of hang out family weekend.  I love those.  This week has been kinda busy and weird.  Dominic was gone for a couple days and one night, so it's made me confused on what day it is all week.  I've been job searching, working on some more mail art, and trying to get some crafts up for sale.  (Again-please check it out, and custom order anything your mind can imagine.  I will be keeping it updated with new crafts, and new options.)  Other than that, just a busy same ol type of week.  TGIF though!! =D  Wahoo.  Maybe it will be nice enough out for us to have a picnic or something.  I've been trying to get us to go to the park more, and even just a walk...we're getting there.  Haha.  Gotta get in bathing suit mode...after pregnancy...I'm not sure if that will EVER be possible again.  =/  We'll see.  Either way, I'll figure out a way to dig in the mud with Kayden at the lake this summer, if it's the last thing I do.  ;-)

Facebook on a blog.


I think it's fun to look back and see what we've written over the past half of a year(ish).  Holy Moly--I can't believe Kayden is already almost half a year old!  That is insane.  Anyway-this is more just for me, to have all these in one place.  I love it when Dominic makes "his facebook" with a status about us.  =)  Makes me feel special.  And I just want to save these.  I think I may do this occasionally, because I feel like I update my facebook quickly with a sentence, more often than I have time to do a blog.  A real blog is soon to come.. hopefully today!  =)

Dominic Kitts
Wow I have the most amazing girlfriend no wonder we are having a baby...

These start when we were in the hospital.  It makes me laugh that even Facebook makes it clear:  I was preoccupied and Dominic was clearly anxious and needed something to keep him busy, thus his 87 posts during labor, delivery, and recovery.  ;-)

This is him explaining everything around the house to Kayden.  He cracks me up when he does this because he "teaches" her the funniest words.  Not ball, or blue, but leak in the roof, and riley is skinny. Hahaha!

Kayla Justine
‎"and this is the roof.. it has a leak. ... and this is riley...she's the odd ball, the skinny one of the fam. ... and this is....." hahahaha.

Stress test.


Ohhh nice.  I spent my free time learning how stressed I am.  I Stumbled Upon it and had to try it out.  (Stumble has some reallllly cool stuff on it -- check it out -- but only if you have free time.  Beware -- you may waste a lot of time of that thing.)  Now I understand why I have a cold.  Lol whopsies.  Speaking of free time, that is over.  Now to go get the missy taken care of, make lunch for Dominic, appointments this afternoon, errands to run, job searching to do, things to do this evening.  If I'm lucky maybe I'll get to watch Grey's Anatomy tonite, after the next 9 hours of crazy.  I have become obsessed with that show.  It's amazing, for those of you who haven't seen it.  But gotta run! 


Just a real quick one from Christmas from a different camera.  =)
