Randoms from the tele. (phone.) =)

Kayders is watching the Disney channel (our morning routine) and daddy is sleeping in, so I thought I'd post a few from the phone camera real quick.  As I was uploading these I realized that I didn't take one single picture of Kayden yesterday, on her 7 month birthday.  =(  Sadddd day.  I'm a slacker.  But I suppose I'll just take a zillion today!  =D

These are from about 2 weeks ago.  She got her first cart ride!!  I had to run into Walgreen's real quick, and they have those little tiny carts, it was perfect!  She LOVED it ... and LOVES it!! =D


Wahoooo!


 This is just from the last week or two, I just think her eyes look awesome! =)


"Oh hey mama.  Check me out!  I'm sitting up like a big girl with my arms out!!  Looking at everrrrrryyythingggg!!! =D"

And this one is from the beginning of February I think.  Hanging out with Great Grandpa Kitts.  She loooves the table cloth at Grandpa Kitts'.


So far it's been a lazy Sunday (it's only 8:37 ;-)) and I'm not sure what we're doing today but we'll figure something out! =)

Kayders went to the Aquarium!!! =D

Last weekend it was kind of crappy out.  We've been talking about getting a membership (again ;-) yes we had one, even when we didn't have a muchkin) to the zoo (which includes the aquarium and botanical gardens).  So we finally did it last weekend, since we weren't sure what else to do because of the weather, and so we went!! =)  (I looove the zoo and aquarium, I would go everyday!)

She wasn't too sure at first!  (This was at the open tank of sting rays, they were swimming by and splashing and she was on gaurd!)



But then she LOVED it! =D


She watched and watched and didn't want to move on!! (This is at the very front/beginning!)


Going through the aquarium.


This is totally not a good picture, but being the person that I am, I needed a picture of her first trip to the aquarium!!!  (with me, because I knew I'd be behind the camera the rest of the time! ;-) )  So whatever.  I'm glad I got one lol.  Next time I'll know to get ready, and we'll try to get Kayden to look in the remote direcion.


She loved the jellyfish too!


Kayden size jellyfish!! =)


Doing their favorite game.


This turtle is so cool.  He was laying on the bottom and woke up to go eat, and Kayden watched him sloooowly get up, and kind of swim, kind of float up to the top. lol.


Mr. Turtle going up.


And just a couple from the botanical gardens.  Practicing ... 




It was too much fun!!  I've been trying to get us to get out of the house on the weekends, but it's hard when the weather is crappy.  Welp, now we can go to the aquarium every weekend!  Just kidding ;-).  

Let's see ... what's new around here?  Kayden is getting VERY good at sitting up.  She's pretty much a pro ;-).  At the moment she is rolling around by my feet, making lots of loud noises, and sucking on her toes, and watching Handy Manny, all at the same time.  She's been teething really badly!  She loves to turn on and off the light switches and is always trying to steal the remote or our cell phones.  She's so funny how her little personality is starting to come out.  When she is super duper tired, and I take her into her room, she will start to try to dive into her crib.  It's the most precious thing, like "Oh ok!  Yes, you sure can go to your crib!!" lol  I think she is starting to learn what putting my arms out means (to me anyway--it means for her to put her arms up so I can pick her up), because I do it a lot when she is in her bouncer toy, or when I'm getting her up from her crib, and as soon as I put my arms out to pick her up she gets soo excited!!  Yesterday she sat on the kitchen counter while we made the chocolate white chip cookies (see previous post).  We took them to Daddy at his work to visit him because he wasn't able to come home for lunch.  It was good to see his face light up when I took little muchkin in with some yummy treats.  From what I hear, they were a hit ;-)

Dominic and I have been same 'ol.  Staying busy in between Kayden, work (yes, I call KG my work now, it's a LOT of work!! but i'm not complaining!!!), cleaning etc, all the other biiiiiiz, and trying to get back into the motivation mode of getting house stuff done.  Our goal is grass by August (for Kayden's birthday), and we still need to finish our bathrooms.  And our gorgeous back room that we finally finished, sits, empty, and lonely.  So I hope to someday, somehow, soon, figure out what we're going to put in there, and put it in there.  But we'll see.  Time is flying by.  I can't believe Kayden is a whole SEVEN months TMR!!!  Ahhhh my little baybay!!!  And that means only 5 more left for grass ... uh oh!  I better go!  haha!

xo =)

A Smorgasbord.

Of events in this post.

First one of the cute chick! =)


Last week Carol and Rick were in town staying at Chris and Ralph's so we got to hang out with them for a bit.  =)

Aunt Carol and Kaydenpoo.  I love this one.


Chris and Ralph's pretty dogs.



Playing with Uncle Ralph.


Kayden and Daddy both love this game lol.


Last weekend Dominic had his first spring outdoor game, during the day even, so we were looking forward to hanging out outside and watching him.  Unfortunately, it was freeeeeeezing!!  So we sat and watched from the car!  =)  Kayden sat in the front seat watching out the window like a big girl.  =D


 "Yeahhhhh, did you see Daddy?!  He's so good!" ;-)




Went to lunch with Grandpa Conn and that side of the fam last weekend as well.


And I just had to share my chocolate white chip cookies that I am super proud of cause I think they look pretty scrumptious if I do say so myself! ;-D

Silly girl was getting a kick out of somethin!  Probably her new penguin jammies that say sleep tight around the tum tum =D  I saw them and couldn't resist.



This little thing has the tiniest hole in it and she loooves to have the air blown on her.


Playing with the camera some more =) Riley's so pretty.


Hahahahaha!  Don't know what's over there but whoa.

The trip went fast but we managed to fit in lots of play time, snuggling, talking, shopping, eating, and all that jazz.  Hope you can come again soon Gma!

Love Bug Last Week.

From here on out, for awhile at least, there will probably be a million pictures due to me learning and playing with the new camera.

Hanging out in her bumbo, next to me, probably watching Mickey Mouse Play House -- our morning, calm down before nap routine.  =)

"Yes Mama?"  love this munchkin!

The lick train.  Dozer licks Riley, Riley licks Kayden.  Kayden tries to pull ears.


Do you see a puppy?  Kayden does!


Op, there goes another pup!


"Mama I saw puppies!!"


So cute!  I love this face she does!


This was the cutest thing ever.  Dominic was trying to teach Kayden how to get on her hand an knees.  "Bennnnnd"  Haha!  No such luck in the crawling department but mucho luck in the photography dept! ;-)


She loves her Daddy!


"Daddy, I don't really wanna crawl.....buuuut I'll play with you!"


So presh!


OMG I love this one!


Kayden is still super close to crawling, but likes to just roll around and round more.  She gets all over the living room despite the lack of crawling.  And she gets into everything too!  More pictures soon to come.
