6 months old

Kelby turned 6 months old last week!!! We had a very long week. Kelby and I both caught a terrible cold and then we had her six month doctor’s visit on Thursday. We finished up her baby shots and now that she is old enough she got the H1N1….total of 5 shots. We both did great!!! I didn’t even cry this time... I was so proud of myself :) She now weighs 20lbs and 2 1/2oz and is the size of an average 10 month old. My parents came to stay with us a couple of weekends ago and granddaddy walked her around outside and every time he would bring her in she would cry. Dad woke up the next morning and was so sore from carrying her….but he would walk her around all day everyday if he could. It is so AMAZING how much love grandparents have for their grandbabies.

Kelby is now sitting up and is drinking juice from her sippy cups. Her new favorite thing to do is play “Tea Party” while watching her cartoons. It won’t be long before she is crawling. She can kick her legs and push herself up but she just hasn’t put it all together yet. I'm not ready for her to be on the move. Kelby has to wear sunglasses outside because her eyes are super sensitive to sunlight and she absolutely loves them!

My little Diva!!

Getting ready for her pictures :)
We had a great weekend!! We started off with Kelby’s photo shoot on Friday evening... It was so much fun…. I can’t wait to see the proofs! We were so exhausted afterwards. Kelby could not stop looking around at everything in the studio. I’m so glad we finally got around to doing professional pictures. On Saturday, I ran in the Cowtown 5K with my sisters. Saturday night, my family came in and we went to the Japanese Palace and Kelby had her first experience at a Hibachi grill, as always she did great! Sunday, we did yard work all day long… so we are now officially ready for spring!! Kelby especially loved the beautiful weather we had all weekend because she was allowed to go outside for a few hours each day. On Sunday her granddaddy walked her all around outside!!! I’m not sure who had more fun, my dad or Kelby.
Kelby get’s to start going to the daycare at the gym in 2 weeks…. I’m really excited because I will be able to go to the gym more than 4 times a week but I’m very nervous about her being there by herself…. I’m pretty sure she will love it because it is big and very colorful.

5 Months Old!!!

Kelby turned 5 months old this weekend. I know I say it every month but, “Where has the time gone?”

The past month has been such a developmental month for her. She is rolling over, eating from a spoon, holding her bottle, playing with her feet, talking and laughing so much more. I can really tell a difference in her interaction with her surrounding environment from week to week. She is getting more exhausted at the end of each day now because we play so hard all day and take fewer naps. She is such a bright ray of sunshine every morning with her big smiles. Everyone thinks she is so heavy now. The only time I notice is when I pick up other babies. She is now in 9-12 month clothes and size 4 diapers.

Happy Valentine’s day!!

4 moths old!!!!

Where has the time gone??... Kelby Lynn turned 4 months last week on the 13th. We also went in for her 4 month check up. She weighed 17lbs 4oz and is 27 inches long. The doctor gave her an A+ and said she is the size of a 7 month old. She did awesome for her shots. Of course, I started crying once they brought them in but she didn’t cry until the 4th shot. Post shots she did great as well. She didn’t have any kind of fever.

Kelby has become quite the “Chatty Kathy”. Her favorite show is “Little Einstein’s”. She loves to sit and talk and laugh with them. Her personality is really beginning to shine. She sometimes talks a little too much but it is so cute. I think I have caught her yelling at me a few times…LOL…

I became really sick this week with Mastitis which is an infection in the breast from breastfeeding. I was in terrible pain and had a high fever. I couldn’t have survived this week without my wonderful husband, mother-in-law and parents. They all took such great care of Kelby and me.

I finally decided to update our blog today! We had an amazing first Christmas with our baby Kelby and it was a white one to top it off. She was truly the best gift of all. Kelby started the month of December with a mild cold by the end of December I had caught 2 really bad colds. I got so sick on Christmas Day and poor John had to play mommy and daddy for his whole vacation… he did great… I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband!!! I am pretty sure he was ready to go back to work by that MondayJ… We had a very relaxed New Year’s. We were laughing about how much our lives have changed since last year…LOL. I do have to say it was great not having a hangover on New Year’s Day.

Kelby will be 4 months old next Wednesday!!! We’ll also be going in for her 4 month shots as well. I am not looking forward to that again. She did great afterwards last time it was during the shots that was so hard. I can’t wait to see how much she has grown. She has just about exceeded the weight in her swing because we now have to give it a good push start to get going. I’m guessing she is about 20lbs if not more by now. She started her belly laugh about a week ago!!! YAY!!! There is nothing better than a baby with the giggles. It is so funny because when she started smiling a couple of months ago we were always trying to make her smile and now she does it all the time. Now all I do all day is try to get laughs out. She has also picked up the thumb sucking pretty well. Her gums are beginning to get hard so she now uses her soothing to chew on. Kelby is still trying to roll over; she is having issues with getting her butt over. She is still changing everyday and growing like crazy. I just can’t believe how fast it is going by.

Happy Birthday John!!! We love you!!!!

Happy New Year!!!
