SIX months old with super cute bows!

Alright!  Back in action! =)  I'm pretty proud that I've taken so many pictures this week ;-).  I also, look at these pictures, and die a little bit inside, because I am dyyyying to get a new camera.  Soon enough..soon enough.  (I guess, to me, it's not soon enough at all lol.)  Anyway, I'm sure you guys are sick of hearing me whine about a new camera...

First off.  This chick is cuuuuute: =)

*OK, a little intermission here.  Check out Kayden's bow.  Notice how it says KAYDEN?!  Notice how nothing says Kayden out there in the big bad world??  That's because I got it custom made!  That's right!  Custom!!  Where you ask?  Here! At Chloe Chic Bowtique!  Her name is Amy, and is seriously amazing!  You guys have got to check her out!  I'm seriously obsessed!  (Mom, if you're reading...Kayden just had her 6 month birthday ;-) )*

Here's the chickadee with another bow from CCB! ... I have one more that I haven't taken a picture of yet ... but soon to come!  (And I'm sure I will be ordering many more asap!)

 Smilin up at pops with a simultaneous lick from Doz. =)

Oh ok!  Flexible much?

One of my favorite things to do is watch/listen to Dominic and Kayden play!  She giiiiiiggles and he lauuuuughs.  It's so much fun to watch, and even if I'm in the other room, I can hear them and it instantly makes me smile!!

She loves to do this now.  Grab the spoon that is.  It 1. makes feeding super difficult, constantly trying to dodge each hand, hold the spoon, make it into her mouth before it closes back up, hold the bowl of mush, and usually be a shield to the dogs who want to eat the mush.  And 2. makes a disaster!  But what can ya do?  Nada.

Silly guy. =)

She loooves Mickey Mouse play house these days!  She'll sit there perfectly content (which is rare) for the longest time.  I get those songs stuck in my head so badly.  

SATURDAY WAS KAYDENS 6 MONTH BIRTHDAY!!!

I simply can't believe it!!

We were going to go to It'z (a place here that is food and games, kind of in between Chuck E Cheese and Dave and Busters) because we were just being silly.  We decided that will be fun and goofy (to have a 6 month birthday "birthday party") and invited her boyfriend Isaac.  (To all of you out there that are freaking out that we would throw a birthday party for 6 months, we were joking!  It's a place we like to eat, and a place that is kind of kid-ish, and her boyfriend was coming, thus, we decided to call it a birthday party. ;-) )  Anyway.  We didn't think about it being a Saturday afternoon and that there are a million kids out there with real birthday parties, and a million real, rambunctious, rowdy children friends.  Who woulda thunk?!  We drove up, looked in, said "ahhhh!!!"  and walked back out.  We went to Chili's instead. =)  Anywho, Kayden and her boyfriend and their first birthday dinner date.  (Yes, it is officially not a birthday party unless at It'z, it changes to a date since it was at Chili's. Don't tell Dominic ;-) )

Haha, I love her face.

We then hung out with G&G Conn.  =)

More of the adorable munckin with her adorable bows! 

HAHA!  I went to get her up from a nap the other day and the silly girl had bed-head!! =D  She barely has hair!!!  But she got bed-head and I was excited!!  I tried to hold her up to the light with one hand, and take a picture with the other hand.  She, however, was so excited and refreshed from her nap that she was flailing around and laughing, so I could barely get one.  This is the only one that turned out that kind of showed her silly bed-head.

Oh heyyyy you.

Aw how nice!  Dozer usually would rather not get yanked on.  But yesterday he was a patient good boy and let her do what she wanted, which was yank.  =)  And kind of pet him....kind of.

Welp.  That's the update.  Had a pretty mellow weekend.  Hung out all day on Saturday (lunch, Rio Rancho etc.)  and hung out at home for Super Bowl Sunday with Dominic's brothers.  He made food, I made Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins =).  Now it is back to the week -- which I think is just not as fun at all.  ;-)  It's been freeeeeeezing the past couple of weeks -- so no walks for us.  But I am REALLY trying to get us into the routine of walking (AT LEAST!! ugh, how else am I supposed to loose this stupid baby fat?!)  

Hmm..what else?!  Just trying to promote, promote, promote Krafts Galore! ... going a little slow right now.  Com'n peeps, help a sista out.  Order!!  You know you need some "Any Occasion" Greeting Cards, or a new Notebook! =)

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.  ;-)
