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!!

Attack of the giant baby.

Are they watching me?

hmmm....

Man, mommy's aim is horrible

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.

Two wonderful pictures and a video!

And now for your viewing pleasure! Some Pics!!!

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!

Giggling baby girl!
