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 ;-).

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!
