Our new word

This was perfect timing by K. She has an uncanny knack for comedic timing!

First Tooth

LOOK CLOSE! It's hard to see so look close, it has just broke the skin! If you click the picture it will be MUCH bigger. (Bottom Her Left)

ROLL TO A SHORT CRAWL

Finally caught on tape! She takes about 3 steps at a time but she is crawling a bit now!

Christening not in the Biblical way

This morning I was on my way out to my fitness class and I went to put on K's shoes and noticed a little poop on my pants. I thought it may have been from the dogs, cleaned it off, and went back to K to leave. I grabbed her up walked out to the car then realized as I put her in the car seat that I now smell poop very strongly and had poop on my shirt! I had to scoop her up out of the car seat rushed back into the house and put her straight into the tub! POOP on my shirt her onesie and shorts! I cannot believe how much poop came out of her this morning.

She had great fun in the tub this morning. She discovered the water spout in the tub and the wonders of running water. Needles to say I missed the first 1/2 hour class but made it to the 2nd 1/2 hour class I was heading to. I am still unsure as to why she had such a blowout? She didn't have any liquid this morning and only had the normal amounts of liquids yesterday. Maybe it has to do with her new tooth?!

I don't have my license yet!

She LOVES moving around in this little walker!

All Smiles

We bought a walker that can also be a stationary toy. K Loves to get around right now and she LOVES her new walker!! I have some pictures of K in her new outfit from her uncle (DADDY'S BROTHER)

Spring day

Easter!!!

THE EASTER BUNNY CAME!

And then she crashed!

6 month well visit

So Friday the 10th was our 6 month well visit. Our little girl now weighs 18 lbs, and is "OFF THE CHARTS" for height at 28.75 in.

She had her shots and this time no bruising! She is very happy this morning and no issues. She starts on stage 2 food, juice, and is supposed to use her sippy cup with each meal to help her learn how to use it. So far she doesn't have any problem drinking out of it she just needs to learn how to tip it up so the juice is at the spout.

We also just had her pictures taken for the first time at JCP but we will not get them until 4/21. :(

This is why I prefer to take our pictures, I have them right then!

I think I might try to set up some of the same poses so I can have some Easter pics NOW!

Look at all these toys!

I LOVE THIS THING!!!!

Eating Solids

Here is Kellan and her first experience with solid foods. She gets most of the food down but it is still a messy process. I Love this little girl!

WHO DO I LOOK LIKE?

Mom on the left, Dad on the right and Kellan in the middle. Who does she look like?

New Talent

So today Kellan decided to show off her new talent for the camera. She was holding her bottle like a big girl!

SNOW DAY!!!

Today was the second day off from school and today is the first REAL snowfall this winter. I took Kellan out to the front yard and we made a Snow Angel, then slid down the drive way a few times. She seemed pretty indifferent, but I thought it was fun. So here are the first of many future snow day pictures. Look close at the finished Snow Angel, the tail of her snow suite left an impression!

Today I made my first Diaper Cake. This cake was made for a trivia night at the school I work at. It was so much fun. Please let me know what you think of it!!!

Exersaucer

Uncle Nick is to thank for the fun exersaucer!!!

Christmas 2008

Kellan's first visit with Santa. I do believe she is trying to decide what she wants for Christmas.
We spent two weeks with my husband's Klan. We also took a day to go visit my brother Nick and his two kids.
The trip home was great but like every visit with family TOO SHORT!

Playtime

I took this picture in November. This was the first time she started to bat at her toys. She has found a real fondness for the black and white cow.

Halloween 2008

We wanted to get a Princess Leia costume for her but seems we were unable to find one small enough for her first Halloween. WE DID HOWEVER find a Wookiee, Chewbacca costume and put the pink bow in the hair to make it more feminine.

The first smile caught on camera. I took this picture the first week we were home, Kellan is 8 days old in this picture. This was also the only time she wore her Eskimo Joe's T-shirt. We had a fairly cold October and she grew out of it quickly.

This my first blog so I am going back a little. This is Kellan's hospital photo taken on Sept.30th the day we were to leave the hospital.
My pregnancy was fairly easy, no morning sickness or any major concerns. In my 7th month we flew to Las Vegas for husband's High School Reunion. I swelled up and kept most of it until about 2 weeks after Kellan was born. My Dr. scheduled an induction for Monday Sept. 29th but strong contractions began on Saturday Sept. 27th at 12:05 am. We went to the hospital at 8am after stopping at the DMV and Mcdonald's! We were sent home around 10am since there was no "real" progress. I was told to come back when the contractions were closer together (closer than 5 min) OR when they became "unbearable". I made my husband take me back to the hospital around 10 pm Saturday night. My contractions were then 3 min. apart and I really wanted drugs to help me get some sleep. Sunday Sept. 28th came and still no notable progress, I was started on pitocin and received my epidural at 2pm. Kellan arrived at 4:44pm Sunday afternoon. She is the greatest thing I have ever done!
