I recently read a blog where this "blog expert" says to keep readers reading your blog, you should post frequently enough to keep their attention. Well, I suck at that. But I started to think, while I love to keep my friends and family updated, these blog posts really are for me.
I love to journal. I've kept a diary/journal since elementary school, and I still have each book.
It's hilarious to read the old stuff now... in fact I saw on Evening Magazine there is a place where they have people read their old journal entries. I could probably get a few laughs with some of my entries, especially the ones about Timmy from highschool...
Okay thats not the point of this.
The point is this blog is journal entries about our (okay MY, really) journy in parenthood and to log Kaydriana's milestones from conception on.
So if I've lost readers because I don't post often (or that entertaining), thats fine. One day I'll print this out to some book of sorts to keep and share with Kaydriana when she's older.
Okay, on to what "baby-cakes", "Peanut", "KD" is up to. Well, since starting to walk, she has transformed from a baby to a little person- a toddler. She baby talks so much. I LOVE LOVE all of her little Kaydriana words. A lot of times she asks a question and nods her head to try to get me to understand. She gets a bit frustrated if I can't figure out what she's asking for so a lot of times I have to pick her up so she can reach what she wants. Usually, it's not something that she's allowed to have so then she gets mad.
She does say a few words. "Mama", "dada", "banana" (pronounced "nana"), "uh oh", "busy- busy- busy" (because thats what I tell her as she just walks around doing random stuff), and "this" in a high pitched question.
About two weeks ago or so she started to give Tim and I kisses and blows kisses to us. I adore her kisses even if that means we get her grimeys on us; totally worth it!
She can climb up on the couch on her own which I don't like because she's a bit of a daredevil and falls often.
She is her mothers daughter and is so accident prone. Today she fell outside on the front step and has scrapes on her little nose. She fell off the couch last week and got a nice little purple knot on her forehead. Thankfully none have been as scarey as the time she flipped down the stairs!
It's been rough lately at daycare. There isn't a week that goes by the past 5-6 weeks where daycare isn't calling me warning me of a fever, a head bonk that "isn't an emergency but she may have a concussion", diarrhea and throwing up. I really wish I could leave and take care of my baby every time I get a call, but I have a job to do and I always feel so torn.
Today I didn't have to work until 2pm and Tim had the day off. She was totally fine when I left but then she got a fever of 104, started to become lethargic, and didn't want to eat. She was really fussy too. But after coaching Tim to give her some fever reducer and a luke warm bath, she seemed to get better. We'll just keep an eye on her... as always. Thankfully nothing serious enough to take her to urgent care...yet.
Kaydriana had a fun 4th of July. We went to a parade where Tim's dad road his motorcycle, then we went to Tim's sisters for food and fireworks. Kaydriana did very well with the fire works and wasn't scared of the loud noises at all. Of course I covered her ears when the big guns came out. She fell asleep in my arms and while I wanted to play with sparklers and stuff, I never just get to sit with her still in my arms and I truly cherished it. And the fireworks were awesome! My BIL goes all out!
I mentioned above the new things Kaydriana is doing and I forgot to mention a few others. She loves slides! She gets mad when it's time to come home since dada and momma can only help her go down the slide so many times without getting bored. It's annoying that the end of the slide has like a 1-1.5 ft jump to the ground. Who designed this thing? Oh, probably the same geniouses who though dirt was a good decoration to put between where we park and the sidewalk into our house...
The other thing she is doing is using a spoon. This hasn't been perfected yet, but as long as I keep an eye on her and guide her once in a while, she can hold the spoon right, dish up her food and put it in her mouth. Where she goes awry is when she gets too much on her spoon, misses her face or decides her non-spooned hand is too clean and she needs to shovel food in mouth. I love every messy moment of it :)
On non baby related, but is family related news-Tim put in an application for the city of Shoreline. It closed Friday so I am praying that God might answer this prayer for a job with a YES so that we can explore options for our family. If the answer is not a yes, I pray God will provide for our family and give us the coping ability to get through this period in our life.
Some of you may not know that I am really, really, really wanting to expand our family and work less. The key to making any of that happening is Tim getting a permanet, good paying job.
Patience and waiting, patience and waiting, and being faithful.
