We are now officially CRAWLING!!! Let the Chaos ensue!!!
I have been looking forward too and dreading this moment from the beginning!
She is now very independent and wants to be down on the floor all the time and of course she is into everything. And I mean EVERYTHING!!! But such are the joys of being a parent. I think what I love the most about her crawling is that she is so very cute and fun to watch her go to town. We also now have to officially baby proof the house. I have been gradually working on this since Autumn (our next door neighbor and bestest buddy) has been walking, but we have a long way to go. Gotta work on getting the entertainment center locked up, Keiren keeps turning off the XBOX 360 while daddy is playing. I think that it is very humorous but he doesn't think so.
She now officially has 6, count them 6 teeth! All four of her front top teeth and two bottom teeth.
We had our 10 month check up, (yeah we made it!) She is doing very well. She is still on the 25 % for her weight gain. A healthy 17 lbs and 10oz. Only one shot this time, a flu shot. Not much else that happened there. She will be having another one in two months at her year! Oh my goodness how the year has gone by! Where did the time go!
I will post some pics and a video of her crawling soon!

Halloween, Thanksgiving and More!
Our 9 month check up. Well I have been working grave yard and on my days home to sleep I have been keeping Keiren with me. Let me tell you I don't get much sleep. So on the day of her 9 month check up (I tried to reschedule it with the doctor seeing as it was on a day early in the morning when I would be typically sleeping) we slept through it. So we will now be having a 10month check up and will post our weight and all that good stuff when we get to go to that appointment.
Teeth! We now have two more teeth. Making it 4 in total. Woo Hoo!!! It is kinda funny because the two that have come in are one front tooth and then the tooth to the left of that. Not both of her front teeth. So weird! But the other two on the right side are right behind. I can feel them just under the gums. Now this makes for very interesting nursing sessions, the few that we are down to now. She is definitely testing out her teeth. She is also doing very well with her solids. We eat all kinds of cool and chunky foods.
Great Grandma and Grandpa
Here are some shots I took while playing around with it.

Long time no Blog
Well, I am finally getting around to posting this month. Sorry for the delay, we have had an interesting few weeks. So I am going to work backwards from the last post to this week.
Lets see, oh yeah, Sabbath and I learned how to Tie Dye. Way fun. We did a bunch of onesies and a dress /jacket set. We also dyed a doggy t-shirt for my grandparent's Chihuahua, Dudley. They all turned out super cute and we had a blast doing it!! We will be doing another batch soon.
My great grandmother passed away. She was 101. That is just soo amazing to me. To think of all the things she saw in her lifetime! We went down to Eugene to be there for the memorial service. It was very nice to go and see some members of my family that I haven't seen in a few years. Keiren and I went to Bend and stayed a few days longer with my grandparents so they could get some one on one time with the baby. We had lots of fun and we miss you sooo much!!!!
We also went up to the lake and laid to rest my grandfather's ashes. It was very hard thing for me to do but I am so glad that I went and finally got some closure. It was raining but so very beautiful and serene. He wouldn't want it any other way! We would have been out on that lake fishing in that kind of weather. It was just perfect.
I also had a little vacation. I didn't do much. Had a birthday and got sick. We have been fighting this cold for the last week and a half. Keiren, being the loving daughter that she is, got us all sick.
And now for the most important and exciting current news........
Keiren has finally cut her first tooth. Yeah!!! Wooo Hooo!!!! It is just the very tip of her tooth that I can feel above the gums. Very exciting!! I think that gets us up to date. :)
Will post some pics soon. Cause you know that is the only reason you come here!!

Six months and growing!
Alright, so I have been bad and not updated in a while. Okay, well lets see what has happened since last. She has done very well with solids, progressing very smoothly, she only makes funny faces with the fruits now. They are so cute! We had our six month check up and shots. She is a healthy 14 lbs and 6oz, 26 inches long and everything is looking perfect. She also sits up on her own. As you can tell in her picture. She does really good then every once in a while falls over. Not much else other than she is still a very talkative baby, I love waking up to her talking to herself! I have a few new pictures I need to post, hopefully I will get to them this weekend.

Solids!
Okay, okay!! I concede. I have finally done it! I gave my little one some solid food!! I have been very hesitant and was waiting until she showed me signs that she was ready on her own. Well she now sits up supported in her Bumbo seat, she has definitely lost her tongue thrust reflex, and she is very and I mean very interested in food. Plus she's a moocher, wanting anything that we are eating. She loves it! This is coming at a very good time, we have been kinda struggling with keeping up the milk supply while i am at work. Pumping is very hard to do while working full time! So hopefully in the next few months I can cut back on how much I need to pump at work.
Again I say how much she has changed in the last few weeks. She now is babbling, not just making noise, but actually babbling. Very excited! I think she is also teething. Sooo much fun that is! She used to sleep through the night and for the last 5 nights she is waking up at 1 or 2 am for some comfort and a snack. I was really enjoying those 6 straight hours of sleep. Oh well, hopefully she will bust some teeth out soon! We also got a new car seat. The old one was getting too small. Very cute, a sage green one with orange flowers on it. I will post pics later!
I think all of these things added together make me look at her and realize she is no longer an infant but a baby!!! Sigh!!! But all is well and we will put some pictures up later this week!

4th of July!
Well not much going on here. Had a fun 4th of July. We just hung around the house and lit a few fireworks off. We didn't want to go far for the fear of Keiren not being able to handle the noise. She did very good only got upset a couple of times when the loud crackling ones went off.
We got Keiren a new chair called a Bumbo seat. It is designed for babies 3 to 14months old, as soon as they can hold up their head they can sit in it. She is wanting to sit up so badly, she even is crawling out of her bouncer! She just loves it! That and being held while standing up!
I have to say that every time I get back from being at work for the weekend she is looking/acting different. It is just amazing how fast she is growing and she has just the cutest laugh! She is becoming more and more aware of what is going on around her and more expressive in her wants and needs. Developing quite the personality!
Well that is about it for now!
