Love This.

Thud

I have been really lucky to be able to stay home this winter. Winter lasts far too long in my opinion, but it’s not so bad just looking at it through the window.

Because I’m home most of the day hearing a large Thud on the window is slightly alarming. Opening the blinds revealed this:'

Some sort of bird, who apparently enjoys winter (I personally would have gone south), hit my window!

There were thousands of them. They are the kind that fly together and make all sorts of neat shapes. It was fun to watch them for a bit.

Then I sicked Koda on them.

See them all by that house? And there’s teeny tiny Koda. He thinks he’s big.

 

Still no more progress on moving around for Kambri. But here she is looking cute.

 

I only look like I might move here.

Wish I could grab/eat that toy…

Maybe I’ll just stare it down.

Smile for the camera!

Look at this cute Grandpa

My Dad and Dextin.

The Way I Feel about Chocolate…

P.S. Still Working on that Rolling Over thing…

It will be someday soon.

Dextin’s got us beat: He rolls over and he’s got a tooth!

One Month Closer…

To Spring. So excited that January is coming to an end! Some of you may be avid snow people, but I am a beach/sun/boat kind of person all the way.

Here’s what we’ve been up to.

Valentine’s Day Decorating.

I even made a few decorations with Kali (she got a cricut as well)…

Again, not great…but it is a lot of fun. Maybe she’ll give me some pictures of the ones that she made.

I also have a freebie for you if you want it.

Isn’t this cute?

Here’s the link to the file. I love these DIY Sites!

Last, but not least, the little one tried Rice Cereal.

We made a terrific mess. I have no idea if it was a success. It appears she’s not quite sure what to think. Is this really the way we eat?? She knows the liquid stuff well…what’s with the mush?!

Almost

It seems like there’s a lot of ‘almosts’ going on here with Kambri.

 

We tried this:

“Hey, this isn’t so bad…I think I can do this, yeah!”

 

“Wait. You’re not going to hold me up? Not liking this so much anymore.”

 

“Stuck. I’m Stuuuuuuck!”

 

Next we attempted this:

 

“I’m feeling like I might want to be mobile today. Maybe if I kind of swivel this way I can reach some of these awesome toys.”

 

“Maybe scrunching myself into a tiny ball will work better…”

 

We tried it from the belly:

“Why did you put me on my belly mom? I HATE being on my belly.”

 

Giving up. “Maybe I’ll be mobile tomorrow…”

Projects

I have always LOVED decorating. When I was younger I wanted my room to be like a little piece of heaven. Something that when you walked in you would sigh happily. It was a pink heaven then, but it was my pink heaven.

Enter the Cricut. I had a good time this week making decorations. It was the only way I could make myself take down Christmas- if I had something fun to put back up. It’s too early for Valentines stuff, and most January stuff is blue…i.e. snowmen, snowflakes, etc. and does not match my red house. Justin got me some tile & wood and here are the results. They aren’t great, but it was my first attempt, and It was oh so easy!

I love you pink Cricut. Hopefully we can become even better friends.

Discovery

Feet are fun to play with.

Feet are fun to have someone else play with.

Especially when you have a gift certificate :).

4 Months

Justin’s back at the temple, and I have some time I don’t know what to do with. So, I’ll blog for a minute.

Kambri is now 4 months old. Every month that goes by just gets more fun I think. She gets that much more smiley, and happy, and actually has a little personality. She’s still pretty serious, but I think she’s just very curious and watchful. She’s trying to sit up, and is great at standing with help. She loves oranges, but absolutely hates being on her belly. She digs her face into the ground and screams…absolutely no working on pushing herself up at all. Oh well, my mom said I was the same way and I still ended up crawling. She is also extremely stubborn. She will not be forced to do anything... I guess it’s going to be payback for my own stubbornness. She has giggled a few times, super cute, but it’s tough to get one out of her. Her dad can do it best and knows exactly where she’s ticklish. She always smiles when he talks to her- She is fascinated by her daddy.

She has been so fun, and I am excited to see her get bigger :).

 

P.S.- So not looking forward to that second set of shots…

and a Happy New Year!
