Blessing Day

Today Kambri was given a name and a blessing by her dad. He was so nervous…but he did a great job. It was a beautiful blessing. Justin seems to have a gift for this kind of stuff, he always does so well and is very eloquent, for lack of a better word. He took a deep breath and didn’t even sound nervous at all. We recorded it for her so that she can have it later. I hope she’ll enjoy that.

Afterward we met at our house for some lunch. I was worried we were going to have 60 people and nowhere for them to sit, but due to the storm we just had our immediate family and a few friends, so about half that. It went great I thought, not too squishy in our small house, and the food was very good. Thanks everyone for helping out and for coming!

 

Getting Fatter

But that’s a good thing right?

She is seriously starting to work my arm muscles.

 

I realize I haven’t posted much about what Kambri is up to these days. It’s probably because it still doesn’t involve a whole lot. Let’s see, she is an excellent sleeper! We have seriously been so blessed in that area. She is currently sleeping 8-10 hours a night. If she goes to bed at 10 she’s up no sooner than 6:30 ish. If she goes to bed at midnight she’s down til 8. We really are lucky. She’s up for a couple hours and then goes back down until around 11-12. Then she’s up for most of the day with only a little cat nap here and there. Kambri is smiling now. We think that is the cutest most awesome thing. It’s much better then her constant scowl, which still does appear some of the time. She is a huge eater, she will down around 6 oz in 10-15 minutes. Sometimes even that is not enough, but that usually occurs in the evenings. She is much much better then she used to be in the evenings, only a little grumpy now and then. She can also hold her head up! I love this as she is much easier to carry around now. She gets bored easily and I have started buying her toys to keep her occupied…she will look at them for about a half hour which gives mommy enough time to get ready, yay! She absolutely loves fuzzy things, and her fuzziest blanket can get her to sleep much quicker then I can. She just puts it right up against her little cheek and she’s out. That’s about it, she’s not rolling over yet (which I’m okay with), and she’s just starting to coo…which is super cute. We sure do love our little girl.

This Morning…

Seriously, who’s having more fun? :)

2 Month Appointment

Is there anything more sad then a baby’s cry after they’ve been poked with three needles? Probably, but it sure doesn’t seem like it. Poor baby has slept all evening, must’ve been pretty traumatic.

Other than that everything is looking good. She’s 11lbs 6oz and 23.5 inches long. I will spare you the percentile numbers as I’m not even sure I know what they mean. My best guess after contemplating them a little is that she’s tall but pretty average in every other measurement. She’s developing perfectly, despite my irregular enforcement of ‘tummy time’. No flat head yet, haha. Kind of a funny thought…flat head. Probably not as funny if you have one.

I cleaned my house today. I feel this is a huge accomplishment. How does anyone get anything done with kids? Especially more than one?? I feel crazy enough as it is. Maybe multi-tasking will take on a whole different meaning to me then.

It appears winter has decided to show its cold/wet face. I should be grateful that it decided to wait a whole extra month….I’ll work on that gratitude thing once spring has come. Until then I will enjoy what is left of my favorite time of the year. Black Friday is coming, Yay!

I almost caught one…

We’ve been catching a few smiles here and there from Kambri, but this morning (after eating a TON of food) she finally gave me a couple in a row. It was so cute. I grabbed the camera and changed the settings to take a whole bunch in a row. Here’s the results. I almost got one!

Now back to her regularly scheduled scowl:

I hope they keep on coming!

Kissing Cousins?

I think it is so fun that Kambri has two cousins born within just a couple of weeks of her. Dextin is four days younger, and Kyler is about 2 1/2 weeks younger. She’ll have to keep up with the boys, but I doubt she’ll have much problem with that. I’m excited to watch them grow up together.

First Smile

Kambri actually smiled this morning.....and I'm pretty sure it was intentional! It was actually really a funny moment to smile for the first time. She has been extremely ornery and difficult the last couple days and we (after discussing how nice it was to be able to sell the puppies so easily) were joking about selling Kambri. She had been staring at us during the conversation. Justin looked at her and said, "no, I'd never sell you Kambri." Immediately she perked up and gave us a huge smile. So funny! I guess she wants to stay with us after all.

Pretty Girl

I love it when she is contentedly sleeping. But I Wish she wouldn't fight it so much. Wouldn't we all like to take back all those naps we wouldn't take when we were kids?

Cute Little Accidents

We had an accident a couple of months ago with our two dogs....see we were only meaning to breed Summer once a year for a couple of years. However, Justin let them out one morning to go to the bathroom thinking that the urge to potty would overcome that "other" urge. Ahem, he apparently was mistaken. Here are the adorable, but accidental, results. We are selling them this week. I have to say I won't be as sad to see them go as I was the last litter. I'm sure it's because I've been too preoccupied to play with them much.

And then she was one...month :)

It is Kambri's One month birthday today. She decided to celebrate by not sleeping the entire morning and about half of the afternoon. We got to spend a lot of one on one time today, with her constantly in my arms....she seemed very pleased. She also has had several poopy diapers, her present to me I guess.

It has been a lot of fun to watch her start to grow and become more curious. Her favorite thing right now is to stare wide eyed at things. She seems fascinated by the smallest change in light or color. I'm excited for the day she will smile at us.....I've been told it's just a few weeks away.

Here's to Kambri's second month :)

Her ten minute cap nap...
