Pictures from a few weeks ago....Where does the time go????

These first two pics are actually from the end of January.....She wasn't quite long enough to touch the floor so she is using my bakeware ;)





Playing in her crib...that's the blanket my friend made for her.


Smilin' in her peacoat



Hangin' out in her Boppy chair and sportin' the new bow!











Chillin' with mom.








Brayson being a silly little boy.







Look at those beautiful baby blues!



















Her first ponytail.

















....I can't believe I've actually posted two blogs in one day.....write it down, it may never happen again!

Kyleigh's first trip to the park!

Sunday was SUCH a nice day outside, I just couldn't resist going to the park! Kyleigh wasn't feeling to well but she needed to get outside.

We spent much of last week either in the doctors office or at home due to Brayson being sick and then Kyleigh catching his sickness.

The Friday before last, Brayson was sick to his stomach after school and started running a fever. We went to the doc on Tues (after his tummy was feeling better) thinking that he was all better because he wasn't throwing up anymore but it was the soonest we could get in so I decided to take him in anyway. He ended up having both ears infected and an upper respiratory infection. The very next day he and Kyleigh were both running fevers. So off to the doc we went again with Kyleigh. She had the same as Brayson minus one ear infection. They are both taking antibiotics and she has to have breathing treatments. Finally after one more trip to the doc on Friday, the fevers ended and everyone is on their way to feeling much better!

I always feel like one of those moms that freaks out over everything and always feel like the doctor thinks I'm some "wacko" mom who brings her kids in at the site of a runny nose. Then I think to myself, it is RSV season and Kyleigh's already had that once...better safe than sorry! They can just deal with me being a "wacko" and see my kids anyway. Turns out, I was right to take them in and convinced myself that I'm not a hypocondriac.

Thank goodness Trevor is one of those kids that gets sick once every 4 years or more!

On another note, my friend Melodie and I have started making baby bows! It has been so much fun. I've made 5 so far. They are getting better each time. Kyleigh will probably turn out to be a little girl that hates to wear hair bows and that would break my heart into pieces! Maybe I can keep her a girly-girl for at least the first few years :)

She will be 5 months old next Wednesday. It has gone by faster than ever! So far this month, we have started a few solids. She likes sweet potatoes, green beens and peas. She kind of likes carrots but not too much. She does not like fruits yet. I think they are a little too tart for her to handle right now but I always try just a little bit. She really liked rice cereal until I started the veggies and now she wants nothing to do with that either. She gets the cutest smile on her face when she's eating one of her faves. I hope I remember to get my camera out for her next solids meal.

She loves playing in her jumperoo, playing with the little birdie on her bouncer, rubbing her precious little feet together, falling asleep next to mommy, getting kisses from daddy, hearing songs from her bubba's, and talking constantly! She's really coming along. She doesn't like to roll over yet. She does it here and there but not very much.

Below are some pics from the park on Sunday.

This was Brayson's favorite thing to do.


He fell off right after this pic and bumped his chin :( but he's alright.




He loves having his picture taken.



I was scared that he was going to fall off during this little adventure.



He hit the swings 4 times!




Kyleigh's second try at the swings.







Attached to that binki!





Ok mom, it's time to get me out of this thing!









She looks so sweet





And she finally fell asleep......
