Quick update...

Ever since I first found out I was
having a girl, we've been
talking about wether or not
we would get her ears
peirced. I've always been
for it, but Daniel was the
one holding back. Well a
few weeks ago, we were up
north at the mall and I got
brave and decided to do it!
Yes, she did cry and yes, it
was really sad. But she was fine
after about 10 min. She's
never acted like they bother
her.

So it's been forever since I've blogged!!!
So much has been going on...Kaylie is
getting HUGE! She's 5 months old now.
She doesn't have any teeth, but I'm
expecting one any day. She rolls over
and loves her baby food and cereal!
(Still no bottle-we're done trying that!)
She loves to play with her toys,

especially the ones that make noise

and sing to her.

She is such a happy baby. Really,

she is smiling all the time. It's

so much fun being a mom. :)

Wave Pool!

We went to the wave pool last

weekend with Maxi, Ash and Sky.

They came to visit for the weekend,

and we had a blast! Kaylie loved the

water. She just sat there and kicked

and played around.

Ashlyn had so much fun.

Maxi is such a good mom! She was
out there with her girls, having just
as much fun as they were.

She's such a cutie!

1st 4-wheeler ride

One of the things I love about being a

mom is experiencing all the "firsts"

with Kaylie! Almost everything we do

is a first for Kaylie. This was about 3

weeks ago when we went to Blanding

for a visit. My family was going

4 wheeling and I didn't want to miss out,

but I was worried how well Kaylie

would do. She loved it! She was so

good and acted like she just loved

being out!
We stopped to have some lunch, and

Daniel decided Kaylie looked

pretty good sitting there on the back

of the 4 wheeler. She just sat there and

looked all around. Daniel carved Kaylie's name

in a tree with the year. It'll be cool

to go back up there when she's older

and show her.

Home Sweet Home

This is our house that Daniel built. We started last July and finished this March, just before Kaylie was born. We built it as a "spec" house, which means we planned on selling it when it was complete. It's a great investment and a good way to make some good money. So, most times when people do this, they move into the house for awhile until it sells. I was totally stoked to move into a new house with a new baby. Well, the whole time we were building, this guy kept coming by and asking if it was for sell. Anyway, he ended up buying it before it was done, which means we didn't get to move in :( . It's such a nice house. This picture doesn't do it justice. I love the front entry way and the timber truce. The inside is amazing. Once they got the cabinets in, I couldn't go in anymore. It just made me cry, cause it was supposed to be my house, at least for awhile. Daniel totally built it himself. His dad helped a ton, but we didn't sub it out, he built it! I'm so proud of him. Who just decides to build a house and figures out how to do it?! When I ask him how in the heck be built a house, he says, "You just do it." So yea, I'm still in a tiny 2 bedroom apt, watching the family move into my house. It's been way hard, but I just have to remember we made good money, so I guess it was worth it.

HELP!!

Ok, I need some serious help here. As you can see, I have 4 DIFFERENT bottles here. Kaylie won't take any of them! I have spent so much time pumping milk, storing it, trying to feed her a bottle, and it's all a waste of time! I love breast feeding, but wow, I need a little break sometimes! I just got the one on the far right last week off the internet for like $20. I thought it was a great investment. All the reviews on it said it was great for babies who breast feed and won't take a bottle. I was so pumped when it arrived....then I tried it and wanted to cry.When we try to give her the bottle, Daniel does it, thinking she'll take it better from him. We tried for 2 hours the other day. I think all 3 of us were about to loose it! Her problem seems to be that she won't latch on. She just plays with it and moves it around in her mouth. So....if anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE help me out! I need some advice.

2 months = 4 shots

Kaylie turned 2 months old on May 22nd.
She had to get her immunizations. I was
not looking forward to this day. I am
ok with giving kids shots, but to see
my little Kaylie get 4 of them was so
sad!

This is after it was all said and
done. She cried so hard, she had
tears and was all hot and sweaty.
It was horrible. My pediatrician
is awesome (he's the one who gives
the shots) and made sure I was
ok with it all. She looked up at
me with the saddest eyes, wondering
why I was letting this happen to her.










Good thing she has lots of meat on
those thighs. She got 2 shots in
each thigh.










This is when we got home. She
slept a lot and just wanted her
mom. This was not a fun day :(
