Fashion Diva

Have you ever had one of those days where you didn't really think what you put on?



Kelly came home one night to find me like this:

I just got home from a wedding that was outside, it was cold, Kairi was hungry and tired and
screaming at me. I was freezing and had a skirt on. So I grabbed the first pair of pants I could find and took care of Kairi as fast as I could. Did I bother to change after that? Okay I admit I didn't, I went and got some stuff done. And when Kelly got home from work that night I think he had second thoughts about me! Judgement Free Zone!

Pumpkin Patch

What I love most (well one of the many things I love about her) is how we get to experience SO many first with Kairi!! This is her FIRST halloween. And we have so many more to come. We decided while Kelly had a day off we would run up to the pumpkin patch and get some pumpkins and take some cute pictures with Kairi. (don't worry Jenn we still want to go with you and the boys, just wanted to make sure Kelly got to go as well)
There is this pumpkin patch out by Kellys works so skipped on over there. Kairi loves to be outside and she is so stinkin cute!! I think my favorite part is her PINK socks.. they don't even match her Orange shirt. Ehh I was going to change them but forgot.. wait till I get her leg warmers on.....

We found a pumpkin just her size... what ever will you carve in it Kairi?

I love Kelly cause he is a crazy kid at heart. This was all his idea - we had to take the mini wheel barrel just so Kairi could push it. Now watching Kelly push a wheel barrel this size, I should have got a picture of that. So yes we are starting child labor young...but she liked it Im sure its hard to tell at 2 months old!!

I love experiencing so many first with her, I can't wait until Christmas!! OIE!!

My world

I have to laugh at myself right now. Well I don't get much time to blog but when I do I try to fit it all in at once, so I apologize for the massive posts! But she has become my world, my all, my joy and I wouldn't change it for the world. I work in the mornings then get to play with her the rest of the day. I try to fit so much in my day that blogging or being on the internet is the last thing on my list. I am trying to find a routine in life, but I know their isn't one and she will change it even if I do make on. One thing I am trying to work back in my life is the gym. I love the gym and thats been a hard adjustment for me is not going as often as I would like, or even at all. I get lucky if I get 1 or 2 times a week. I guess I always have running with her - until its to cold. SIGH but she is my world and I love her.

I love this picture!! I went from my Grandmas house to my Moms house one day and she had pulled her headband over her eyes and fell asleep. I guess it was to bright for her liking. She is so silly. She didn't even cry or anything when she did this.. just went to sleep.

And look what we are doing now! We are starting to grab toys!! If I place them in her hand she now holds on to them and swings them around. As I watched her play with her other toys the ones that she sits under and dangle in her face she even started to swat at them and grab those rings. She is getting so big and so smart. I am starting to also teach her sign language. When I go to feed her I show her the sign for food, or milk. I need to get ahold of those signing time DVDs and start those.

Well I also tried to add a video of Kairi Kicking like crazy but it didnt' work... BOO. She is so active and always has been. Sometimes its hard to hold her cause she is always moving. I think its cause I ran so much pregnant. She is going to be my runner for sure those legs never stop moving. I'll see if I can upload it later.. for now I'm tired and my pillow is calling my name!

Eczema

My baby has eczema. So sad. We noticed it all over her back last night. Her skin was rough and cracking and red and it looked painful. It didn't seem to bother her at all but I called the Doctor and took her in today. We had to put a cream on her skin and really moisturize her up as often as we can with a heavy duty lotion. I have to switch the detergent I wash her clothes in to make it less irritable for her. Reading about eczema it says it very common in infants but not very common for infants that are breast fed, but if you drink cows milk or eat egg products babies can get it. It also says they can get it if if there is any history of allergys in the family like Asthma or hay fever. Well Kelly side of the family has the worst allergys to me at least (he would agree) so I guess Kairi was doomed from the start. But we caught it early and already with just applying this medication today it seems to be clearing up nicely. Read also that if infants have it, it can be cleared up and usually don't have problems with it later in life.

Its just crazy the things I eat affect her so much!! I can't eat chocolate as it because it upsets her so much. Breast feeding is so rewarding but so hard at the same time. I love it and wouldn't change it for the world. I love it that she knows me and sometimes all she wants is mommy - yes I have what she wants but we have a stronger bond. All good things are hard they say!

2 months

I can't believe it my baby is already 2 months old!! She is getting so fun! She smiles so much, she loves the mornings that is when we are the happiest. Its hard not be happy either when you have that cute face smiling back at you!!

The dog still has the length on her but she is catching up. Mayve if she didn't have her legs all tucked in she might come close.
Stats:
Weight: 9.5
Height: 21 1/2 inches
Head: 37.5 cm

Doctor says she is going great and looks great. But with the 2 month check up comes the 2 month shot!!! dun dun dun I wont lie I cried. When they gave the shots to her the sound that came out of her mouth was TERRIBLE!! You could tell it was not a good feeling. The cry was nothing like I have ever heard it was horrible. I cried, Kelly had to hold her hands down. I was just glad he was there. Then when it was all over I got to cuddle her and make her feel better. The coos that came out of her while holding her were so sad, but she knew she was safe in Moms arms! I don't like shot I couldn't imaging what it feels like to an infant.


She was so brave though and did great, and band-aids make everything better.

I had to reward her for turning 2 months and getting shots and being the cutest thing in the world. So I gave her a pedicure - well kind of.

I did those toes all while she was awake. They by all means are not anything special, the paint is on there and that is what matters but I love them. I love her toes painted. She will be the girliest girl in town Im telling you!!!

Funundrum

The perks at working at a News Studio is they are always getting free stuff for everything. Its called the art of WOOING someone I guess. They get press releases in the mail with free swag all the time. Then they are put on a table for anyone that wants them. Its a nice perk I wont lie!!
So this past week I scored 2 free tickets to the CIRCUS!!! I haven't been to the circus since I was little so I was so excited to go, and to take Kairi. Okay I was so nervous to take her as well because I didn't know how she would handle it, but we braved it anyway.

Well Kelly got home from work late so we got to the circus late, which I hate being late to things to but sometimes what do you do right? Well as we were walking to the circus we happened to come across this:

I guess the elephants had finished what they were doing so they were taking them back to the animal tent. Yept hat is an elephant walking the streets of SLC. It was worth it to be late. Then they had all the PETA protestors out on the streets yelling that the elephants were being treated badly and blah blah blah. I know you believe in something but really yelling on the side of the street... really? Does that really change someones mind about anything..its just annoying.

So there was so much going on at the circus it was seriously a none stop show! One act would end then anther would begins, there was this and that and some over there and some in front of us, and some the the side of us, there were things going on above us I mean there was so much going on! You would be watching one person doing something then you would notice someone else doing something cool - then your eyes would go back to what you were watching. It was hard to keep track of everying. Needless to say there was Lights, Sounds, Booming, and so much more and this is how Kairi sat the entire night:

She sat right on my lap didn't fuss didn't make a peep, just ate her fist and watched EVERYTHING. Her head would turn from side to side and she loved it I think. I was just so proud of her, she did amazing. Everyone sitting around us was amazed of how well behaved she was, and how cute she was!!

But with all that going on - wouldn't you sit and enjoy everything?

We had a great time, I love doing things as a family and experiencing new things. This wasn't just Kairis first Circus it was Kellys too. Perks are so nice!!!
