Been so busy

I have been so busy since returning back to work. I have wanted to update the blog but finding the time between coming home, cooking dinner or hubby cooking dinner, playing with Kinsley and nursing her to bed, than laundry it makes it hard to get on here.




Kinsley is 3 months old now and I am so amazed how much she has changed. I was looking at her newborn pictures recently and it really made me so sad but happy at the same time. I miss those itty bitty snuggling moments but I am thrilled for her learning new things everyday.

She can laugh now. The first time she laughed was when hubby was changing her and he blew raspberries on her belly and she let out the cutest little giggle. I was crying because it made me so happy.

She still loves to stand and we stand her up after each diaper change, she loves that tradition.

She has discovered her toes and her hands are still yummy too.

She was 12lbs 6oz at her last visit at the doctors she actually went in to get shots and she was so upset by it that it was nearly 10 minutes for her to calm down. She only calmed down after nursing for a few minutes.

The biggest news of all, this month she is official in her 6 months clothes now. I was going through her old clothes tonight and was so sad to be boxing up her old stuff. Plus I am passing some of her winter clothes that we received to Vanessa and her little Harper.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July!!

Bumbo time

Last night I was looking on Craigslist for a bumbo seat. I found an post for a garage sale in Vancouver starting at 10am on Saturday July 3rd. We decided to go, Kinsley, myself and my mom because they said they were selling a pink bumbo. We drive up there and I was concerned that I wouldn't make it in time for the 10am opening. We find the place and their was no garage sale or signs in sight. We couldn't figure it out so I called Ray to make sure that I had the address correct. Turns out that the people holding the garage sale didn't even bother to start on time. We found the townhouse that they were having the sale at and they had the sign and balloons on the porch but they it looked like they hadn't bothered to wake up yet. I decided to forgot that and not even bother to wait around for them to have the sale. You snooze you lose!




We drove back to Portland and I decided to try an baby consignment shop by my work. We went in and found several bumbo's and I picked out the bright pink one. It was $20 but worth it because Kinsley loves it. We sat her in it after she got home and she grunted and touched all the sides. She was working her abs hard to sit up. The fun thing is that she is independent and can look everywhere around her.



We went across the street from the consignment shop to Mother Natures and I got Sophie the Giraffe. I wanted to get this toy for her so bad, we saved some money and I was able to purchase it for Kinsley. It is not a cheap toy but she LOVES it.

Tummy Time

Today we tried tummy time on her changing pad and she did really well holding up her head. I decided to try Kinsley on the boppy and she did really well. See the pictures below. Can't believe that she is 10 weeks today, it is amazing how much time has passed.

Kinsley is getting so big. Last week we put her in her car seat to go somewhere and I had to adjust the head rest up. It is amazing to look back and think how tiny she was and how she has changed in the past 2 months.

Playing with my toys

Kinsley loves her toys. When we first put her on the play gym she just sat there and didn't do much but she is getting much more active now. Today she actually started to grab her toys and hold onto them. She is becoming such a big girl.

Last night I went shopping and purchased the breathable bumper and the soother for the side of her bed. I put the soother in her crib today and put her in there for a couple of minutes. She was so fascinated with the movement of the monkey and the bubbles of the water. Lets hope that it helps her go to sleep. This weekend we are going to work on her sleeping in her crib.

Passed out

Last night Daddy gave Kinsley a bottle while I was at the store. When I got home from the store this is the way she fell asleep after being burped. She had a full fat belly.
