10 Months old

I can't believe that my little baby is already 10 months old (I missed my 9 month post, oops).  It is so much fun to see how much she has grown and how fast she is learning new things! She has been crawling around and standing up to everything for over a month! She is starting to be so busy and into everything, especially the things she knows she is not suppose to get into. 

Kaelin has been a little jabber mouth since she was born, but now she is actually starting to get words out.  She says mama, Dada, ba ba (bottle), bite, hi and bye bye (usually accompanied with a wave) and occasionally she imitates a duck with a quack quack. Of course whenever I want her to show off and say those words she won't.

She also is so entertaining with all her facial expressions! Her newest one is a scowl when I tell her not to do something! But my favorite is when she smiles and opens her mouth super wide and squints her eyes at us! She makes me laugh every day and I adore every second with her!

Kaelin loves to eat, which it makes me wonder where she is keeping it all! She must have her daddy's body type, long and skinny! We have tried all kinds of foods and so far the only thing she doesn't really like are peas. I tried to sneak one in her mouth the other day and she gave me her scowl face! She is so silly!

She finally discovered our stairs and now that is all she wants to do. If I walk away from her for even a second, she is up the stairs. She is getting too fast for me.  I made Chris put up a gate, which already got pulled down, so now I have had to improvise and put the pack-n-play on the bottom step. Crazy girl!

Kaelin and I have a season pass to 7 Peaks! We have been going a few times a week to enjoy the water and the sun! She loves playing in the water and we are definitely going to have to put this girl in swim lessons because she is not afraid of the water at all! It is so much fun to be in the swimming pool with her!

 
 We got to have a visit from Grandma Jen, Aunt Grace, Uncle Mason, Aunt Awburn, Paisley and some more cousins! Paisley and Kaelin had so much fun playing together! It was fun to see the girls together! Kaelin loves her family so much and loves to have the visits!



While they were here we got to make our first trip to the zoo! She was really good at spotting the animals! You could always tell when she would see them cause she would start to laugh! The giraffes seemed to be her favorite! She laughed the whole time and was reaching for them! I bought her a stuffed giraffe and she adores it! I can't wait to make another trip to the zoo so Chris can come with us! 


I love watching everything that Kaelin does she is so dang cute!! She has always loved taking a bath, but recently she loves to crawl into the bathroom and try to get into the tub by herself! So sometimes I put her in there and just let her play while I'm getting ready!
Kaelin loves reading books! One day she grabbed this book and she was laying there laughing so hard as she was flipping the pages! So cute!
I love to sneak in to check on her as she is taking naps because I love to see how she is sleeping! This is my favorite! The rest of my pictures are just a few of my other favorite pictures I've taken lately! We are so blessed to have this beautiful girl in our lives and I can't imagine life without her!

WOW

WOW!!! It has been so long since I have posted on my blog and Kaelin has grown and changed so much! I am going to try to play catch up and hopefully do a post that can bring everyone up to date! This is Kaelin by month mark!

8 Months old: Kaelin has grown so fast and I can't believe that she is already 8 months old! She has started to crawl,..... but only goes backwards. She hasn't figured out the forwards yet. Even though she has already started to stand up to things. I'm hoping she figures out soon how to go forward. She gets really frustrated when she wants to go forward that she actually throws a temper tantrum. It is really funny..... right now anyway. Kaelin loves to laugh, play with her toys, be outside and she thinks her dad is the funniest person ever! She loves all kinds of food, even a lemon (she doesn't even make a sour face)! She is so much fun and I love watching her as she learns new things (which happens so quickly)!!

7 Months Old: Kaelin got to go on her first hike with grandpa Black and she loved it!! She was kicking her little legs as if she were the one walking everywhere! She got to play in the dirt for the first time and thought it was the coolest thing ever! At the end of February she got to have her cousin Paisley come for a visit and it was so fun watching them play together. They always seemed to want the same toy! She likes to scoot all over on her belly... backwards... and she rolls all over to get where she wants! She loves to jump in her jumper and run in her walker! She is so much fun and keeps us entertained all the time!
6 Months Old: At her doctor appointment she weighed 15.11 pounds and was 27 1/2 inches long! She is perfectly healthy and is doing all the things she is suppose to! She gave us our first little scare and we ended up in the ER because I was so worried about her. She was running a fever of 101 for a few days and then on a Saturday night she had a fever of 103 that I couldn't get to break. It is so sad a scary to have a little one and you don't know what to do for them. She ended up having an ear infection and we learned some new tricks to get fevers to break. I definately do not like it when my little princess gets sick.
5 Months Old: As you can see from her picture, she lost all her hair. I think I almost cried everytime I looked at it. I was so sad that all her beautiful hair fell out and I thought that it was because I always had headbands on her, so for a while I stopped. She got to go on her first plane ride and she did such a fantastic job! Everyone on the plane loved her and commented to us how cute and well behaved she is! Grandma Black and I took her to California to see her Great Grandparents and to be there for Grandpa Greats 75th birthday! We had so much fun in the warm sun and Grandma and Grandpa Great did not want to let her leave. She was the main attraction at Grandpa's party and everyone wanted to steal her, so I kept a very close watch. Of course Kaelin loved all the attention! While in California Kaelin all of a sudden remembered that she could roll over both ways! (She has been able to roll over for about a month and a half, but would just forget I guess and throw a fit when she rolled to her belly, silly girl)! We also went to Vegas for Christmas and while we were there we got her ears pierced! I'm so happy we finally did that! She looks so cute!
4 Months Old: This picture was taken right after she got her shots! She is such a good baby!! At her doctor appointment this month she weighed 13 pounds! She is growing like a weed!! We found out that she is super ticklish!! It is really funny to do it to her, although I'm sure she doesn't love it! We started feeding her real food this month. She hates rice cereal, but we are going to keep trying it! She is so funny and I love her so much!!
3 Months Old: So looking at this picture I can't believe how much she has changed! I don't really remember too much of what happened at 3 months, I guess that is why I should probably update this at least monthly! All I know is that I am so happy to have this beautiful girl in my life and being a mom is the best thing in this world!

I apologize

Sorry for posting so much all at once, but I just wanted to get caught up on everything that has happened in the last month and a half!! I hope you all enjoy!! Sorry it took me so long (for those of you that kept looking to see if I updated it). I will try to be better!!

2 Months old...

My baby is growing up too fast. This picture was taken on her 2 month mark. I took it after we got back from getting her shots.....that was so sad. She did so good and still was happy afterwards, even though she didn't want me to put her down for too long. I can't believe how much and how fast she is changing. She is so much fun and I love that she smiles and talks to me all the time!

I put her hair in a little mohawk this day and this smile just makes it even better!!

Watching the cowboys game with daddy!! The cowboys aren't doing so well by the look on her face!! ;)

She has started blowing spit bubbles all the time and I just happened to catch it in this picture!!

I love this outfit.... and I think she does too!!

The shirt says it all........except it should say for mama!!!

Dressed for church!! Grandma Jen bought this dress for her!!

Talkin to mama!! Looking at her everyday makes this world a whole lot better!! Even when I don't get much sleep, I forget how tired I am when she starts talking and smiling at me!! She is the best thing that has happened to us!! We are so blessed!!

Kaelin's blessing

On October 9, 2011 Kaelin was blessed! She looked so beautiful in her dress (Grandma Black bought this beautiful dress for her) and she knew it!! As soon as I put it on her she smiled and was talking like crazy to me!! I think she knew how special that day was because she woke up so happy that morning was never cried once throughout the whole day!



This is our first family picture. Kinda sad that it took us almost 2 months to get the three of us in a picutre together.







So many people traveled far to come celebrate this special day with us!! It meant so much for everyone to be there!! We have a wonderful family!!

First trip to Vegas!!

On our way to Vegas to finally meet cousin Paisley (and see everyone else)!! She was so good on the long drive to Vegas!!
Cuddling with Aunt Grace!! Grace loves her neices!!

She was wearing her Cowboys shirt to support her daddy's team......I don't think she really wanted to wear it, so she made sure she didn't have to anymore! :) That was the worst blowout she has ever had (that is why it had to be on the blog)!!

At Aunt Grace's soccer game!! She looks so cute in her daddy's hat!! It doesn't match the dress very well though. :)

Watching Uncle Jacob play baseball!! Aunt Awburn bought Kaelin and Paisley matching sunglasses!! They are so tiny and cute. She isn't quite sure what to think about them when I put them on her though.



The girls are ready for some shopping with mom!!

We really wanted to take more pictures of the girls together, but we always seemed to run out of time, then would remember when they were in their pajamas!!

They both look so tired.



Cousin bath time!! We wanted to bathe them together, but it was a little too hard to do....we will have to wait til they get a little older!! At least we got a picture of them in the tub together!!

Kaelin in Paisley's spa tub!! She really liked it!!

The bathing babes!!

Ready for bed!! Paisley is posing and Kaelin is trying to figure out what she is doing!!

Kaelin tried to copy, but didn't quite get it and decided to flex her muscles instead! ;)

We had a really great time in Vegas seeing everyone!! Grandma Jen threw a baby shower for Kaelin and I!! It was so great!! We got some really great things!!
