And were OFF!!!!!

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!

OK, so I have not been a very good blogger! But it's hard keeping up with an almost 10 month old and I promise to be better about keeping up with it. So now, onto the updating

Starting with Halloween, we had a blast. We went as a super cute penguin with our bestest buddies Autumn and Sabbath. The weather was very nice and we went to Downtown Sumner and walked around for about an hour. They even shut down main street. Way cool. There were so many cute costumes! Got some good ideas for next year.

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.

Thanksgiving. We went out of town for Thanksgiving. We went down to my grandparents for the weekend. We had soo much fun, ate a ton and did a little shopping too. The weather was perfect for driving over the pass and was very cold but pretty. Had a wonderful time and miss them soo very much!

Great Grandma and Grandpa

Bath time!

I got a new camera. Very nice, a Kodak easy share. I love it and it takes great pictures!

Here are some shots I took while playing around with it.

Mommy I want to play too!

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!!
