Beavers Game

Kinsley went to her first baseball game with mommy and daddy. Oh course she was wearing her Red Sox pink onesie even though we were at a minor league baseball park.

She meet the beaver and had her picture taken and she had a good time spending time with Daddy watching the game.

Sleepy bed time

So sleepy, everynight we put Kinsley's pajama's on than her halo and she is always fighting her sleep. I love her rubbing her eyes it just lets mommy know that she had a wonderful day playing and having fun with Grandma.

Cannon Beach

Sadly we have not gone much of anywhere since Kinsley was born but this week we decided that needed to change. We went to Cannon Beach for the day on Saturday. I was so excited and looking forward to it all week. We did get a later start than we wanted but we got out 45 minutes later but that's not too bad considering I have to pack the kitchen sink and everything in the entire house!






We got to the beach about 11:30am and it was so busy. Of course it was going to be busy because it was a beautiful day being over 90 degrees in the Portland area and about 80 degrees at the coast. We drove around the city center of Cannon Beach for about 10 minutes feeling frustrated because their was no parking anywhere. We happened upon a spot from some people leaving thank goodness.







I put Kinsley in her Moby and started to cruise some of the shops. Of course we went to Bruce's Kitchen Candy Shop because they have the sour gummy cherries that I love and can never find here in Portland.














We had lunch, which we brought from home, to help save money and time too since all the restaurants were packed. I could imagine the wait time was most likely 30 minutes. After lunch we went down to the beach to show Kinsley that the Oregon coast is not always dreary and dark.













I didn't know what to expect when putting her feet in the sand for the first time but she actually liked it. She kicked it around and didn't care about it being on her feet. Ray suggested that I try to put her feet in the water. I wasn't sure how that would go over because I knew it would be cold but she didn't mind. She splashed her feet and enjoyed the soft sand pushing in between her toes.







I am so happy that we got to take her there. My parents used to take my brother and I to the beach all the time and I would like to continue that tradition with my daughter.

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.
