Birthday Pictures!

Happy 1st Birthday!

Happy First Birthday Baby Girl!!!!!!!



We had a wonderful get together with some family and friends, on the second of February. (Officially her birthday is the sixth, but since I'm not a very good blogger we are a bit delayed in posting) We all ate pizza and had some gourme cupcakes from Hello Cupcake in Tacoma. They were aboslutely delicious and Keiren loved them! We also had our twelve month checkup. All things look good there. She is right on track for her height, her head is off the charts (Such a huge noggin!) and on the 25% for her weight. We got a skinny minny on our hand here but let me tell you she is a very voarcious eater. Especially right now with her wanting to crawl and being This Close to walking. She has taken a few steps on her own, like two or three at a time but soon very soon she will be walking.



NEW JOB



Offically I have been offered a position at a new Police Department. I have to wait for an appointment with Human Resources to fill out paperwork and then I get to pick a start date!!! WOOO HOOO! So very excited!! Lots of oppertunity at this new department! Can't wait!!!

First Words and pics

We have officially said our first words. Not just word but words!

She says the normal Mama and Dada but she also says What, More (along with the sign language) and Baby. We are also working on Please in sign language. She does this one about every 4th time of asking for More. She is getting very busy crawling about and using furniture to walk around the living room with. Not much longer and she'll be walking. She already lets go and stands for a couple of seconds before falling. She has also cut another tooth. We are now up to 7.

Touchdown!!

Christmas, New Years and a New Job?

Well this will be another post without pictures. I'm working on getting some ready, for real this time. We had a pretty good Christmas, I had to work so we decided to hold off on opening any presents until the weekend after. Nobody wants a graveyard worker with no sleep around. : ) So Keiren got lots of cool toys and lots of clothes. Thank you to everyone!!! New years was not that exciting, I also had to work! So the last month or so has been pretty uneventful. We went to Zoo lights. That was lots of fun, very cold.

I am in the process of doing my background investigation for another police agency. The city I currently work for is in the process of consolidating with another agency and I decided I didn't want to be apart of that, so new job for me. That is if they hire me. You know my crazy past just might catch up with me. LOL! I'm hoping that if all goes well that by the beginning of March I will be working for a different agency.

My little one has been such a bundle of joy! She absolutely loves to crawl around the living room and play with all her toys and chase the cats and get into everything! She is also very smart, we had put of some boxes in the hallway to contain her to the living room, she proceeded to push them right out of the way and continue on her merry way to playing in the cat's water dish. All I could do was laugh. Maybe for her birthday we need to get some baby gates. I don't think she will be able to get past them! Every day I am amazed at how smart and beautiful she is!

Well that is about it for the moment. I will get some pictures up very soon.

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!

Mommy I really want to play with the camera!

That's is about it, I will post soon with updates from our 10 month check up and anything else that comes up.

Pumpkins and Now Two Teeth!
