M.C. Escher-esque

Growing up I really liked artwork by M.C. Escher so when I saw this outfit, I had to get it just because it reminded me of that style.


Rockin' my new outfit on my rockin' moose! Thanks Auntie Jessica and GrandMar!!

Bumbo...what a funny word

For MY birthday, Kaylee got a Bumbo seat! Funny how shopping for myself has gone out the window! This last week Kaylee has been doing sit ups when she is laying on her playmat or in my lap. She prefers to sit and is pretty good at holding her head up. So last night we bought a Bumbo at the kid's consignment shop in Apex. It also works really well when we Skype with Grandpa!

Happy Birthday Kate!

John treated me to a Chili's dinner for my birthday tonight! I had a coupon for a free dessert so we got the Paradise Pie...highly recommended! :) Kaylee was awake all dinner but was content to sit in her car seat and watch us eat.

A love-hate relationship


Who knew I'd ever be so excited about being successful at sucking snot from my child's nose. Kaylee is conflicted about it's use though. She hates to see it coming at her, does not like it being stuck in her nose, but then smiles when the booger is no longer in her nose. I'm sure it's a plight that most mothers experience...feeling guilty for forcing an object up your baby's nose, frustration with those super stuck boogers, and wishing you had smaller fingers to remove said boogers. But all in all, we're fortunate to not have to use the aspirator all that often.

A day in the life....

I am starting to understand that Grandpa is on the computer screen! We love Skype!



The bathtub we registered for and got as a gift causes me much anxiety during bath time because of it's poor design. So tonight I improvised with a "big person towel" and our kitchen sink!! So much easier and I actually enjoyed giving her a bath!!

I fell asleep waiting for mommy to figure out a new bathing method! I NEVER fall asleep on the boppy!!

Then

During the last few weeks of pregnancy, Kate listened to Brad Paisley's new song "Then". She didn't just listen to it a few times, she obsessively played the song on repeat, learned every word, and sung it at the top of her lungs while driving. Then one day a few weeks after Kaylee was born, Kate was driving with Kaylee by themselves. Kaylee began to cry...then scream. It didn't matter how much Kate reassured her, pulled over to make sure something wasn't wrong, or attempted to hold the pacifier in place with one arm backwards while driving. It finally occurred to Kate that maybe Kaylee wants mommy to sing to her (although no one else would want this!). So Kate put track #4 on and began to sing. Kaylee immediately calmed down. Low and behold, it's not even mommy's singing that Kaylee likes! It's Brad's!
