NICU GRADUATION

A FEW WEEKS AGO WE WENT TO THE NICU GRADUATION AT STAHELI FARMS.  IT WAS FUN SEEING SOME OF KYN'S AMAZING NURSES.  SHE WENT TO THE PUMPKIN PATCH AND PICKED OUT A PUMPKIN, SHE LOOKED AT THE ANIMALS, AND GOT HER PICTURE TAKEN NEXT TO THE THE SCARE CROW.  IT WAS A BLAST!

6 MONTHS OLD

MY FAVORITE PERSON TURNED 1/2 A YEAR OLD TODAY!

I LOVE THIS LIL LADY MORE THAN ANYTHING.  SHE TALKS ALOT!!!  SHE LOVES THE ITSY BITSY SPIDER AND HER JUMP JUMP.  SHE DOES NOT LIKE GETTING DRESSED OR NOT BEOING ABLE TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON.  SHE CAN SIT UP BY HERSELF AND SHE SCOOTS BACKWARDS WHEN SHE IS ON HER BELLY.  WON'T BE LONG BEFORE SHE IS MOBILE.  HEAVENS HELP ME!!!  WE WENT TO THE PARK AND HAD A WALK ABOUT TODAY TO CELEBRATE. SHE ALSO GOT A NEW OUTFIT, MOSTLY BECAUSE SHE HAD A BLOW OUT AT THE STORE. :-)  LOVE MY MUNCHKYN

Park Adventures

Like I have said, Kynlee and I LOVE THE PARK!  We spend a lot of our time there.  I don't like to be in the house so it's an inexpensive way to spend quality time together.  She is my favorite subject to photograph, it might be that she is so darn cute.  Either way, I have A LOT of pictures of her.

Catch up!

Okay, I have some catching up to do!  Kynlee is 5 months old now.  She is sitting up by herself.  Her favorite thing to do is hear herself "talk" and go to the park.  She was rolling at 11 weeks.  She has discovered her toes and tends to put them in her mouth, along with everything else within reaching distance.  She has moved into her nursery like a big girl.  Kyle struggled with his favorite room mate leaving but it's what is best for her.  She needs the space! 

Kyle and I celebrated 4 years of marriage 09/27!  Who knew time would fly like that.  We had a anniversary date at Gun Barrel, Kynlee got to come.  But, for our weekend getaway my parents came down so we could be alone.  We went to Brian Head and stayed the night at what used to be the Grand Lodge.  We rode the 4 wheeler around for hours.  The sights were breath-taking.  It was definitely what we needed!
It was hard being away from Kyn for a night, we ended coming home early.  We are such PANSY'S.

8 WEEKER

Kynlee is now 8 weeks old!  Time has flown.  She is quite the social butterfly.  Today she had her shots, I think it was just as traumatic for me as it was for her.  See her battle wounds!

Kynlee's Photo shoot

Kynlee had her first photo shoot at 9 days old by Elements Photography.  The PICTURES turned out great!

THE HELP

I have the best family ever!  Kyle's sisters have brought meals all week.  We have never had such amazing food in the house.  Kyle is going to want to trade me in once it comes to an end.  My mom stayed with me in the hospital and a couple nights once we brought Kynlee home.  She was a LIFE SAVER!  Babies do not come with manuals, that's why they have grandmas.  My sister Randi, is here this weekend to help! It's been nice to be able to leave the house and get a few things done.  I miss Kynlee when I leave though so I come back pretty quick.  Kyle has been coming home for lunches, obviously an 8 hour work day is too long for him to be away from her.  He is the best Dad.

JUST KEEPS GROWING

BRINGING HOME BABY

1 week check up

GETTING A TAN IN THE NICU

Kynlee had her one week check up on Monday, May 7th.  Weighing in at 8.9 lbs, she gained 12 oz in one week, GOODNESS!  I think it's all going to her cheeks.  She had quite the adventure after being born, first being in the NICU because I had a fever during labor and they had to treat her for infections just in case.  Then, after we got her clear from that they checked for jaundice and SURE ENOUGH she had it.  So she spent 2 days under the lights in the NICU once again.  It was so hard to see her so vulnerable.  Both Kyle and I struggled to be tough.  She spent a total of 5 days in the NICU.  We were so excited to bring her home.  We were in for a treat though, apparently she had her nights and days confused.  Sleep was not in the picture, but she is WORTH IT!
