Duck Tub!

I did it! I bought the somewhat tacky duck tub! However, I love it, and so does Kayleigh! She went in it this evening and was just chillin out and relaxin while I was washing her! Too cute! And on top of it, every time I squeezed the duck's beak it quacked and Kayleigh giggled :) A great purchase on my behalf! However, once my dad walked in and saw her in it, his reply was "I'm sorry to say this but I think she might outgrow this in a day too!" I laughed because sadly I know it's the truth :) My little baby is soooo LONG!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Quack Quack!

Hawaiin Tropic Baby!

So Kayleigh received this uber cute Hawaiin sun dress and shockingly enough it's size 12 months and fits her perfectly! Surprised? No not at all! She reminds me of a little Hawaiin girl! All she needs now is the beach in the background and some homemade kid volcanoes!

Swim Team Here I Come!

I'm starting her off early!!! Getting all pool ready and even swimming in her floatie at 4 months!!! Such a cutie pie!

Bath time!

So, I have been having a difficult time putting kayleigh down to sleep at an early time. For any new mother/father who never had to work at it, I HATE YOU!!!! Man this is something they never told you when you were pregnant, how difficult it is to get your baby to sleep at an early time and for the entire night! So we have been working on doing a new and earlier nigh time routine. This one that we are trying, she starts her bath at 7:30 then we do a massage, then nurse, and singing and book reading. It's been working for a while (fingers crossed)

Kayleigh was at the doctor's last week for her 4 month check up! (her 4 month birthday was July 10th) Kayleigh is now over double her birth weight at 17.5 lbs, and 27 1/4 inches long!!!! The doctor referred to her as "a giant of a baby!" He said she is doing wonderful and could start eating rice cereal and stage one foods. However, Kayleigh has not been doing well with the rice cereal, I even tried it with some applesauce. So, I am coming to the conclusion that just because she is over 95% percentile in height and weight, she is still not mature enough to eat foods, so for now we are quitting and we will revisit again in a couple of weeks :)
Here are some pictures as we were getting ready for the bath!! I'll post our professional ones tomorrow!

one more video of the 4th!

4th of July!

Kayleigh's first 4th of July! I had her dressed in a navy blue and white striped dress that I picked out when I was 9 months pregnant, and it fit her perfectly! While I was dressing her I got a little teary eyed and overwhelmed. This dress was one of the first dresses that I bought for her before she was born and at the time I couldn't imagine her being in it. So when I dressed her and saw how beautiful she was I got a little choked up. I love you Kayleigh and your beauty and love has changed me soo much, thank you for always reminding me how lucky I am to have you!

Okay enough with my sappy side :) Back to the 4th! Kayleigh loved the fireworks and was wide eyed and alert during the entire 45 minute show! I was soo proud of her, even at the finale when the fireworks got really loud, she didn't even cry! Such a big girl! Overall, it was a wonderful day and night and can't wait for all the future 4th of July's that we will share together.
