Sing & Dance

Kylie was singing and dancing to Backyardigans. It was awesome. We haven't put that show on in months. Now she actually watches all of it, not just the beginning and ending credits. Lol

Traveling back in Facebook...

This morning: So while watching Comedy Central Presents, Kylie clapped when the audience clapped and laughed when they "Whoo'd". She's just awesome! I love her!

Last night: After hunting for a half hour for her sizzle, we found it....in my shoe...what a place to hide something you put in your mouth 50% of the time. LOL Comments: Elizabeth Wilson just adds more flavor!! yum Lisa Griswold YUM! LOL! Some sock lint for a midnight snack. Amanda Pipkin Oh man we are haveing the same issue but the dog ate it! Amy Jared hahahaha yummy! I always liked the old shoe flavor yup it rocked lol hahaha Ashley Hartman On the bright side, this means you can save money by just sticking your toe in her mouth. Lisa Griswold GROSS! LOL. Your too funny Brittany Ann Baker Haha, I have literally 23 binks around the house cause walmart is always out of her binks so I have to get tons! Plus we lose at least one a day :/ lol Lisa Griswold We had 4...one by one she keeps losing them. She started that a few weeks ago. LOL. Brittany Ann Baker Lol hiding them ? She's too cute Lisa Griswold Yes. Sometimes in her laundry basket, sometimes under her crib, I occasionally find them under the couches and she throws them.in her toy box. It really throws me off when she puts it in the top drawer where the diapers are. LOL. She's silly. The shoe...that was a first. And what funnier, I looked just not well enough because I saw her hand in my shoe all the way to her elbow LOL. Dea Coleman and when you start weening her off of them...you will realize that she knows were she has hidden every single one that you couldn't find months earlier :) Lisa Griswold I want her off the sizzle no later than 13 months, so Im going to start now. Only at nap times and bedtime. I saw a 14 month old running around with hers in her mouth and just cant see why a toddler should still have one. Kylie is walking...its time to give it up. Its going to be tough though, Im sure, she loves that thing...ugh. I was going to just let her ween herself, but I just dont know if she will be willing to in a timely manner...

March 26th: One year ago today, Kylie was in my tummy as we went to San Diego and waddled up the stage to pin my husbands badge on him at his graduation ceremony. He has worked so hard to make a life for us...to allow me to he a home maker and raise our daughter. I'm so proud of you babe! You mean everything and more to Kylie and me. ♥

Kylie is Walking Everywhere Today!!! Ahhh! Im so Excited, I cant even Contain myself!!! March 18 at 3:17pm via Android

March 17th: my lucky charm is just standing in the middle of the room giggling...nothing funny going in...just for the attention. And she took five more steps today! ♥

March 16th 12pm: Oh my God! *laughing sooo hard* Kylie is pushing her dinosaur with one hand and pulling her stroller with the other. Its like she can't decide which to walk with so she chose the best of both worlds. Awesome! ♥

Babies always know when your recording or when your camera/phone is dead...Kylie took 4 steps to her daddy to show off her book, the a few minutes later she stood in the middle of the room screaming and giggling at us, then she.was dancing away and singing...none of which I was able to capture...little stinker. At least the memories will last. March 15 at 5:09pm

I find myself constantly talking to Kylie like a puppy..."Kylie, no!" "Kylie, down" "Kylie, sit" "Kylie, stop chewing on the furniture...and shoes" LOL! March 12 at 10:11am

♥ If I had a dollar for every time my daughter makes me smile, I'd be a millionaire. ♥ March 9

She is just Fabulous!

Kylie has so much personality, it brings a smile to mommy's face Everyday!

She walks all over the place now. And I know most people say, "now she will get into everything and be under your feet all the time," but honestly, she was miserable not being able to walk. She wanted to so badly, and she would hold on to my pant leg and whine all the time, she would get into everything the day she figured out she could roll to where she wanted to go. So, walking, is awesome! I think its the most adorable thing to just sit and watch her go. And she clapped at herself the first time she walked from the center of the living room to her daddy. She was so proud, and of course so are we.

Now that she is almost a year old, I think its time we begin weening her from her sizzle. I would really prefer she doesnt have it anymore by 13 months. That gives her a month after she turns one to get used to the fact that she wont have it for bedtime and nap times either. It isnt going to be easy, believe me I know, she loves that thing, but it will need to be done eventually, and I dont think she will toss it herself in a very timely manner.

My growin' girl. Last night she ate bbq chicken, tortellini, and pears with us for dinner. I love being able to share food with her. Poor girl had no idea what she was missing.

Oh! Goodness! So, I had sent a message to my mom, dad, in laws, and a few friends asking about the first tooth. I felt like there were two bottom teeth when I found her first tooth had come in. Come to find, she does have both front bottom teeth! She wasnt even acting as though she was teething so hard, so I had no idea that two of them were pushing through. Although the past week or two she has had some rough sleep nights. She woke up the other night crying, and not even giving her sizzle back made her go back to sleep like usual. She was just absolutely miserable. For the first time, I had to rock her and she just stared at the ceiling snuggling. I put her back down, awake, after about 30 mins. of that, and she was fine. I think it was her mouth that was bothering her those restless nights. Poor thing.

Anyway, there are so many things I can talk about it...I could go for days bragging about how amazing this love bug is. She dances to everything. She is so happy, and giggles and plays so much more. I love watching her grow. Dont get me wrong, when she was newborn, she was the most precious thing Id ever seen, but I much rather this age. She is fun, she is learning, its just so wonderful.

I bought some party stuff for her first birthday. Its just around the corner and I am super excited. Its going to be perfect!

Well, I really should try harder to keep things up to date on here. I always post the fun and cute things Kylie does on Facebook, but I dont put them on here, and this is where I can reflect back to...time stamped and all...this is the diary of her life, so those moments are best memorialized if I type it up on here...Ha! and of course its not like its less convenient to post it on here as it is on Facebook...I can do it all on my phone. I will just have to try harder. Maybe I will go back in time on my Facebook, copy and paste to add things to here...yes...I think thats what I will do....

tears of joy...

Kylie walked half way across the living room on her own...me being the sappy mommy I am, I cried. I'm so proud of my Kylie bug.

for real this time...

Her front bottom left tooth has officially broke through the gums...the one I thought was coming through months ago. Lol. She was walking around everywhere yesterday...she has been eating so many big girl foods...my baby isn't much of a baby anymore. Today is daddy's birthday and grandma and grandpa are here...so I'll write more later.

dancing queen

Kylie dances to Everything! I love it. "Sway sway sway bounce bounce bounce" All songs make her shake her little bottom, she stops what she is doing and she will stand up and start dancing. Even when she's sitting down eating, she wiggles in her seat. I wish I could capture everything she does in camera...she is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen...and her personality is awesome. She's a terrific daughter, Matthew and I are so fortunate. Don't know what we did to get so lucky but I'm not complaining.

Pictures from last month

There are so many...too many to choose from...so here are a few of my favorites.

'One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind'

She took Three...read it again...Three steps this morning. Yup, Im super duper proud. Of course, leave it to my daughter to only do it because there is food on her highchair that she wants, so without even thinking, she takes itty bitty steps towards it. My little piggy. She does love her food like her momma. Anyways...just thought I would shout it out to the world. My little girl is becoming such a big girl...too fast it seems. But its fun. Im not sad, Im thrilled. We did good...she is perfect!

3:18pm

Make that 7...count 'em...123456 Seven steps today! Oh my goodness baby girl...mommy and daddy are so proud of you. Keep going...you can do it.

My wonderful daughter...

Crapped in the bath! *giggle* Yes, she is adorable, sweet, and as perfect as any baby could be...and she made it to 10 months without poopin' in the bath tub, but tonight (ready to laugh your ass off?) she did it while I was recording her. Okay, so you may be asking why I was recording in the first place. She was being so dang cute. She was talking to herself in the reflection of the round metal thing that usually has the stopper for the drain. I grabbed my phone and recorded her in hopes she would do this again, but all she did was drink from her cup, choke on the water, and then Bam! Squats, Grunts, & Shits in the tub! I cant help but crack up...no matter how disgusting it is. There are many new things that I should have been blogging about, but you know me...too busy to even relax let alone blog. I really wish I would keep up better with this, but I do what I can, and I'm sure she will appreciate it one day, when she is 20 and reading about all the wonderful things her mommy is saying about her *wink*.

9-10 month well check

Kylie Paige weights 19.1 lbs and is 28" tall. My healthy baby girl. They poked her little toe to get some blood to check for anemia...she wasn't a fan of that for good reason.

TODAY...

So, she stood in the tub like I keep telling her not to, and fell. Yup, freaked me out and I almost took a bath with her. She's fine though, held her breath very well and didn't inhale hardly any water. Then after her bath, got her lotioned up and dressed, and as I tried clipping her fingernails she fought with me, shocking right? Then, I went in the kitchen to make her bottle she stood there for 10 mins screaming and crying the loudest and most annoying cry ever. Needless to say, she can no longer miss her second nap. I tried putting her down around 4 after we got back from buying a vehicle for my husband, but she wouldn't even lay down much less sleep. Babies are hard for sure, but let me tell ya, she's a terrific baby. Best kid I have ever seen. The past 3 days have been so cheerful. She just needed to eat more. She's ready for chunkier foods and more portions during the day. They don't tell you these things, man. I thought she was just tired, or teething, cranky with an upset tummy...she was hungry at her usual times that we had a schedule so when she cried outside of that schedule I assumed it was something else. I'd be pissed if I was starving too.

update since my last blog...

Well, after feeling complicated, I realise now that my hormones get out of control around my period...so I'm not depressed, I'm a damn woman *laughing*. Today was much better. My daughter has this way of turning my frown upside down like no one else can. She has a weird infatuation with socks...yup, you heard me, socks. Silly girl. I love her. Her tooth is still slowly pushing through, and it the cutest and funniest thing to watch her play with it with her tongue. She is talking more, the other night, she kept putting her cellphone to daddy's ear, he kept saying hello and she was trying to say it too. She likes to share, her sizzle especially. Yes, adorable.....adorably gross. She slobbers all over it and the tries putting it in my mouth. She means well *wink*. Still not walking on her own...but she is close. We are trying new foods with her...toast, strawberry, and little things here and there from my plate. I'm going to start making more things for her. Found a list of foods she can have. I'm excited, but the transition is difficult. Not only with not knowing when to feed her, but things are upsetting her tummy. We will.get there though.
My husband is such a sweetheart, when I'm down he is so patient. He just holds me, tells me he loves me and waits for my emotional BS to pass.

....well....

To be perfectly honest, I dont know where to start. There has been so much going on that I cant even begin to write about all the milestones Kylie is hitting.

She is becoming more and more like a toddler and less and less like my little baby. She drinks out of the cup that is in her bathtub. I use it to rinse her hair out, and then let her play with it...without even showing her, she began filling it with water, and drinking from it like a big girl. I was in awe. I just couldnt believe how quickly she picked it up. I wish she would use her sippy cup like that, but instead, she bites it and then throws it down. Apparently its not that facinating. She has been quite the butt head lately though. Most moms say things like, "Oh, my baby is so wonderful..." Yes, my daughter is wonderful, but truth be told, she has picked up quite the attitude. She acts like she doesnt hear me when she is getting into something she isnt supposed to...oh my...I could go for days telling you how she has been acting the past couple weeks...but I will spare you and just say, Im looking forward to her actually understanding what discipline means. Honestly, I dont know how to discipline her at this age. I tell her no (frequently) when she refuses to listen to no or get down or get out of there *laughing* I spank her hands. Sometimes she cries, sometimes she smiles or laughs. I cant help but smile inside because she too adorable, however, I cant let her know that its cute because it wont be cute for too long, and Id really like her to stop being a brat. She screams...OH MY GOD how she screams. Her cries sometimes make me want to crawl into a hole and die. Of course I love her and would never leave or hurt her, but there are days when I simply dont know what to do. Sadly, I dont have friends that I can hang out with or talk to anymore. Something happened, and my "friend" just kinda stopped being a friend. So, I stay home (without my car) all day long with my baby girl who also has cabin fever...the weather has been windy and cold (yup, good 'ol Ridgecrest, Spring weather during the Winter, Winter weather during the Spring...gotta love it) so walks have been rare. I really wish that I had a friend who understood and I could talk to...but one of my good friends just doesnt. She wont complain, so when I complain, I feel like a whinner...I feel more horrible than I did before. She gives me advice or simply says things like, "it will get better." Thats not what Im looking for...Im looking for someone to vent to me too...I want someone to tell me that its completely normal to feel like your going to lose your mind...that being a mother isnt easy. I want someone who doesnt act like their life is perfect. No life is perfect. I think my daughter and husband are perfect to me...but they arent perfect...neither am I. So when my daughter is making me cry and scream, its normal to need to vent...when my husband drives me crazy because he isnt listening or saying the right things...its okay to be mad at him. Thats what real life is like. But, why dont others say things like that? Why do I feel like Im the only realistic person here? I have a friend who lives in Texas...she is like me, and she understands...but she is so far away...so we can do coffee dates...we cant take our little ones to the park together. I dont find myself depressed, but I am a little lonely. My bow making is a great hobby, but late at night is usually the only chance I have to make any. Kylie keeps me running...she is in constant need of my attention...but daddy...nope, he doesnt have to pay attention to her every waking moment...he can play his game or watch a movie and she will play contently by herself. I think she hates me sometimes. Well, as much as I need to get off my chest...the Monster is awake, so I have to go...But understand, I love my life...I do know whats important and I wouldnt change a thing.

Practice makes perfect

First time practicing for my daughters first birthday.

Its not perfect, but I have 3 months to find my technique. I have never worked with fondant before, so I will have to make more and keep on practicing.

My 25th Birthday

I was having such a difficult time turning 25, but it turned out to be not so bad. Actually, I'm totally diggin 25 *laughing*. My husband and mother bought me a bunch of new ribbon for my bow making hobby/career. Thinking that was my birthday gift, and being incredibly grateful for it and the love of my beautiful family, I expected nothing more on my birthday. My friend Angela treated me to a pedicure on Saturday, Kylie spit Squash up on her white onsie, so I asked Angela if we could run by my house because I didn't have an extra outfit for her. She did, and I found my in laws were already at the house, so I told Angela, sorry, looks like out day is cut short. She told me to go tell Matthew that I'm spending an hour with her, so I ran inside...I ruined a surprise party that my in laws and husband were setting up for. Matthew told me I'm a jerk for coming home...I always find a way to try ruining my husbands surprise plans, I usually don't, but I always almost do. Poor guy. Anyways, I made a joke about how Matthew should have.told Angela to keep me away, apparently she knew and tried but had no way of saying no to running by my place with out making things seem suspicious. Long story short, the party was lovely. My mother and father in law were there, sister in law and nieces, my mom and Willy, Jorja, Zack and Angela with their sweet 4 month old Bella...it was absolutely wonderful. The cupcake stuff that inspired me to theme Kylie's first birthday party, I totally got them cookie jar, coffee cup, towels, welcome sign, tablecloth, and oven mit. I got some cupcake decorating stuff...oh me oh my! So spoiled. Again, being grateful for my wonderful birthday and assuming it was all over, my daddy surprised me with a visit. Took us out to dinner and breakfast, bought me Kylie's big cupcake cake pan, hair straightener, and hair dye. Spoiled spoiled spoiled. But the best part was the visit with my daddy and the socializing with friends and family. My husband is truly the greatest man in the world.

My poor love bug got sick from our neighbors baby, poor girl is so miserable and sadly its driving me to pull all my hair out. Well, speak of the monster, I have to wrap this up...

...half step...

Kylie took a 1/2 step. Yes, I said half! It may not be a whole step, but its definitely a start. She is going to be walking in no time at all. She has been talking a lot more too...her voice is changing form a baby to a little girl. Everyday there is something new, and I'm so fortunate to be a stay at home mom and not miss a thing. Her tooth is still peeking through. You can see it, but its not quite through the gums yet. I think its been bothering her though, yesterday she was a holy terror. Anyway, again, I am not doing so well at keeping up on my blogs, but you can understand that an eight month old crawling around keeps you very busy.

I'm selling bows, the previous post has the site...you should check it out, follow if you would like, and order some beautiful bows for your beautiful daughter...or nieces, yourself, friends...etc.

My Daughter is my Inspirations

Planning Kylie’s First Birthday!

My Inspiration: (Compliments to Jan O'Hara and Kohl's)

Cupcake Cake for Kylie with flowers and stuff to make it more special than the little cupcakes
About 2 dozen Cupcakes for guests (½ chocolate ½ vanilla)
Cupcake filling and filler (maybe)
Pink Brown and White Cupcake Liners (preferably stripped)
Cupcake Tree Holder
Cutouts and icing
Cupcake Cookie Cutters (maybe 3 different sizes)
Cupcake Invitations (9)
Napkins
Cups
Plates
Table Liner
Cupcake Balloon
Pink and Brown and White Balloons
Pink and Brown and White Streamers
Favors: Cupcake mix in jars
~Simply buy boxes of cake mix, shredded coconut, chocolate chip morsels and mason jars. Then divide your cake mix into 3rds and layer the remaining ingredients into your jars! You can then attach baking instructions to the backs of your party favor tags!
*Making 9 jars…buy: 9 mason jars, 6 boxes of cake mix. 2 bag of chocolate chip morsels and something pink for the top (Sprinkles, candies…)

Kylies Birthday Dress

Cupcakes!
What You'll Need:
24 cupcakes
24 pieces of Double Bubble bubble gum
Spool of green thread-covered wire (found at Michael's in the floral section)
Toothpicks
Buttercream frosting (double batch)
Chocolate royal icing
Decorating bags and Wilton tips #3 and #18
Pink icing coloring
Instructions:
Unwrap the bubble gum and roll each piece into a ball. Cut a stem for each cherry out of the covered wire. Use a toothpick to poke a hole in the top of each piece of gum; insert the "stems." Set aside.
Frost 12 of the cupcakes with white buttercream. Tint a portion of the buttercream with just a tiny bit of the pink icing coloring; frost the remaining cupcakes pink. (I mean, literally, add the coloring a speck at a time with a toothpick. The pink coloring is very potent and if you add too much you will get a very strong pink). (I’m strongly thinking about doing fondant so they look like the picture)
Fill a decorating bag with royal icing and fit with a #3 tip. Make an outline of the area where you want "chocolate syrup" on your cupcakes. Thin the remaining icing and fill in the chocolate areas. Let harden.
Fill a decorating bag with remaining white frosting and fit with a #18 tip. Pipe a swirl of "whipped cream" in the center of each cupcake.
Top each cupcake with a bubble gum cherry.
Sit back, admire your creations and enjoy! :)

Holy Big Girl!

My baby is becoming a toddler too fast. She has been standing unassisted a lot today. She had kind of been doing it before, but not near as confident as she has today. I'm so proud. I think next month she will be walking.

Whats funny, she was standing up right next to her purse, I looked at Matthew and said, I think it would be adorable if she stands up holding her purse...sure enough. LoL! It amazes me and makes me smile EVERYtime she stands up. I just cant believe it.

Wednesday at 2:14pm via Mobile Web

Hahaha! While I was gone for my eye follow up, Kylie got tired of playing with daddy, so he laied on the floor playing his game and she was hanging out right next to him. He noticed she was being really quiet but she was still right by him, so he kept doing his thing, but she was still being so quiet, so he looks at her, she had his wallet and was pulling everything out of it...credit cards, drivers license, all of it. LOL! She cracks me up!

He doesn't know how I got it because its most common in contact wearer's. Basically its a bacterial infection that causes and ulcer on the cornea. There is a cloudy spot on the color of my eye, I thought this whole time it was Conjunctivitis and was treating it with Pink eye drops, but the other day I looked closer because my eye felt like something was in it, something big like a piece of rock or dirt, the redness was getting bad again and the burning and raw feeling too...when I saw the white I knew something was more wring than just conjunctivitis, so I went to my actual optometrist t (urgent care doesn't know their asses from a hole in the ground) he was super conceded right away, he wouldn't even tell me what he thought until he put the dye on my eye and looked closer at it. After asking my pain on a scale 1-10 I replied 4-5 but not consistent and its usually in the evening it gets so bad I hold my eye shut and it gushes water like I was crying from one eye. LOL. He said he was surprised I wasn't in more pain. He told me to take the drops he was prescribing every other hour the first day and four times a day the next and he would see me Wednesday. I went in today, the redness has gone down a lot but my eye still feels raw and Burns. He looked at it and said that he can see some improvement from Monday, but its still pretty bad. He prescribed me additional drops that I have to take 10 minutes after the ones I'm already taking 4 times a day. LOL, then he tells me after the chart exam that he saw me squint. Looks like I may need glasses. Super! LOL. Would explain most of my headaches and migraines. Hubby keeps saying he is going to buy me a Bedazzler to make me a pretty eye patch. LOL. I love him!

Oh my...I'm laughing because Kylie is laughing but she's laughing because I'm laughing. Her giggle just gets me every time. This could go on for a while. for a while.

Epic! Matthew's 80 year old grandparents remembered our anniversary. We are 25 and forgot. I just find that hilarious! ;)

How chaotic has 2011 been for the Griswolds??? Well, we both forgot our 2 year wedding anniversary yesterday.:( Sooo ♥ HAPPY (belated) ANNIVERSARY SWEETHEART ♥ There are many more to celebrate, we will just have to make up for this one next year.

♥ although I haven't quite been myself lately (woman/hormonal moments LOL) and I have a hole in my cornea *giggle* (sorry, its just way funnier to say it like that then corneal ulcer) I'm now relaxing in that comfy nook by.my hubby, ignoring this Mythbusters episode about spiders (those who don't already know, I'm a major arachnophobic) eating Good & Plenty's. ♥

Kylie's birthday is all planned out...all that's left is shopping for it all.

Just whats in my mind...

So, I get asked a lot, "When are you two going to have another baby?" and its usually followed by,"You guys just make to beautiful of babies you have to have another." Although very sweet and flattering, we may not have another. Definitely not anytime soon. Kylie is our pride and joy. She keeps me plenty busy, happy, and proud. In this generation, finances are at an all time low when in comparison to cost of living. Most people wouldn't get by if it weren't for credit cards and loans. We are fortunate enough to not have to use credit cards to get by and I'm one.of the few.lucky women who gets to be a stay at home mom. If we had another, not only would I lose my mind starting all over while chase my quick little bug around, but I would have to find a way to work almost full time and still not have to pay for day care. That means less time at home with my family and literally a few hours with my husband. Honestly, this is my family, and sometimes less is more. Kylie gets plenty of attention, love, nourishment. I always wanted a brother or sister, but being an only child doesn't have to be so bad. I have several friends with children that Kylie and be friends with, when she begins school she will make even more friends, and I couldn't he more excited to have slumber parties at our place. Movies, popcorn, games...yes, noisy girls and messes to clean, but how fun. Kylie will have plenty of company, she wont miss out on not having siblings.

Kylie got herself some wheels...

Kylie got this dinosaur with wheels. The back legs can be open so they can use it as a walker, and When they get bigger, you can close it so they can ride it. Well, Kylie seems to love it. She feels so good to be able to walk all the way across the room. After walking around with that for a while, she became more confident and stood unassisted, for at least a few seconds, twice yesterday. Milestone after milestone...she is just learning so fast. I'm proud and excited. She's perfect!

Simply Irresistible

My daughter...Oh my daughter! She has enough character/personality for about 5 babies! She cracks me up. Currently, I mean literally right this minute, she is crawling all over the place saying "momma" and "baba" and blowing raspberries. She is giggling, squealing, and just having a good 'ol time playing by herself. I love watching her. She is still in her jammies, so when she tries to walk/crawl on the tile, she slips and slides all over. It reminds me of 101 Dalmatians, when the puppies are walking over the ice...yup, that's my daughter. I love it. Her voice, her laugh, her smile and expressions...it makes me so proud and happy every time. Lately she hasn't been much like herself because she has this damn cold. The weather has been wild for the desert. We had snow...and not just like, "oh look, a little bit of snow that wont even stick and will be done in about an hour." We got actual, stick to the ground, last for over a day, snow! So, you can understand why all of us are having some nose issues. LoL!

There are so many milestone that she is just zipping through. Its hard to keep up with writing it all down. Id rather just enjoy it while it lasts. Pretty much, she isn't satisfied with crawling being her form of transportation...she wants to walk so badly. I say, take your time, she say Hells No Momma! She is a determined little stinker like her momma, and a silly goose like her dadda! She keeps getting under the end table and looking up through the glass...its hilarious. Well, I could write about her all day, but I will leave at this for now, and post some pictures...shoot...there are so many to chose from, I'm not sure which to post....*giggle*
