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.

Shots Today

The pictures are of her sleeping after getting her shot, side effect tired baby.

Today was Kinsley's 2 month check up at her doctor. She got her first round of shots today and boy did she hate it. Mommy had to hold her arms down and when the needle went in her leg she had the most horrible look on her face and she got her bottom lip cry going. Mommy even started to tear up over my baby crying.

She does have to see an neurosurgeon for a skull deformity. She had a hemotobia when she was born and it appears that it was caused by a deformity of her bones in her skull. It makes mommy and daddy sad that she has this and needs to see a specialist but we know that it is better to have it examined now. Hopefully she will not need surgery to correct it but if she does at least she is young enough that it will not cause any major issues with her growth of her brain or head. The hard part is trying to stay positive.

Other news is that she is officially into her 3 months clothes! I am sad and happy at the same time. Happy because she has so much 3 months clothes and I am excited that she can finally wear them but sad because that means she is growing. At her appointment she weighed 10lbs 11oz and was 23 inches long. Which means that she has gained nearly 4lbs since birth and grew 2 inches. She is in the 75 percentile for her weight and 90% for her height.
