sleep

I love it when Kaylee falls asleep all on her own, which isn't very often. I also don't know how she can sleep with her older siblings playing all around her and making lots of noise. Plus Makenna hitting Kaylee's head with her knee as she poses for this picture(Kaylee only cried for a few seconds and then back to sleep and mom was upset at Makenna for not being careful, but everything is okay now)

3 months

Kaylee is now 3 months old, which means I start back to work next week. At least I am only going to be working one day a week. I love my field of work and how I can choose my schedule and when I want to work. Kaylee has started to be mobile. Yesterday I noticed she started scooting on her back. I had her laying down on her back under her toys and next thing I notice she had scooted to where the toys were at her feet, she was loving it and just kept on moving. I am not ready for her to be moving around. She is also starting to grab at her toys that hang down from her play centers, and her bouncer.
Last night, Micah finished making our animals a home for them to sleep in or on. Jackson and Makenna helped design it and were excited to see the animals use it.

Thanksgiving and five generations

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We stayed here in Lund and we had 5 generations at the dinner table. I took a picture of all the kids at their table.

Of course I needed an updated 5 generation picture.

Micah's mom, Jeanne, had sent me an email about grandma's hands and how they took a picture of 5 generations of hands, so I decided to do the same for each of my children.

Great, great, grandma's

Thursday we got to spend some time with grandma Hendrix. She is 106 years old. I thought I had better get a picture of Kaylee with her great, great, grandma, because I hadn't taken one yet and who knows how much longer she will be around. She is living here in Lund right now with Micah's grandparent's.

Earlier that day Micah was trying to get Kaylee to wear those wax lips, this was the best picture I could get, because everytime Micah let go of the lips they would fall off her mouth.

Picture Time

We were in Utah this past weekend for doctor appointments. Of course I try to fit everything in when we go out of town, so I scheduled to get our pictures taken. NEVER do pictures on the same day that your baby gets her immunizations. I knew we weren't going to get any pictures of Kaylee smiling, so we tried to get sleeping pictures with Kaylee, but anytime we sat down, Kaylee would SCREAM!! Jackson and Makenna's pictures turned out really good, but I wasn't very happy with Kaylee's. I guess I learned my lesson not to try and do everything in one trip. Of course we had to do some fun pictures

Later that same day, Kaylee was soooooooooooo good laying next to her cousin Katie, who is 3 weeks older.

My newest hobby

Since having Kaylee I love putting bows on her head with the headbands and even Makenna has been wearing more in her hair, so I decided to try making them myself. Here are a few that I have finished and I found instructions on how to make little bug bows, butterflies, ladybugs, bumble bees, dragon flies, & korker bows(the ringlet looking bows). I actually have a lot more bows that are ready, but I have to find flowers or buttons to put in the middle of them. So I am going to start looking for all colors of ribbon, buttons, and flowers and start a new hobby of making bows

We love Halloween

We have been busy with Halloween these past few days. First we carved our pumpkins on Thur. the 28th. Makenna chose Ariel for her pumpkin and Jackson has a bat on his. Of course Micah and I did the carving, but the kids did clean out their own pumpkins.

Fri. the 29th we had a Halloween carnival at the school. We all dressed up and had a fun time. There was even a bounce slide for the kids to play on. I tried to take pictures, but they were all blurry with them jumping around.
Today the 30th, Kaylee is 2 months old. She was really talking to me when I was taking pictures of her, so I had to get it on video. I can't believe how fast she is growing. Tonight Micah will be passing out the candy and taking care of Kaylee, while I drive the kids around trick-or-treating. Happy Halloween!!

Trunk-or-treat

This morning Makenna had her halloween party at preschool where they got to dress up and go trunk-or-treat. Makenna wanted to be a bumble bee(all I really had were the wings and antenna's) I decorated my trunk with little pumpkins that I ended up giving to each child. Of course I had to take a picture of our cute little Kaylee.

Sisters and Bath time

This is how Makenna looks in the morning with her crazy hair. She had straight hair up until she turned 3 and it started coming in very curly, so now it is at a stage where all the ends are straight and the root area is very curly. She loves to hold Kaylee in the mornings. By the way I didn't dress her in those pj's. I had R.S. last night and her dad took care of her and she was already in bed when I got home. I just got done giving Kaylee and Makenna a bath and Kaylee was laughing for the first time and enjoying her bath. The first few weeks of Kaylee's life she hated bath time and would scream the whole time, so this is a big change from screaming to laughing. Jackson and Makenna also had to talk while I was recording, so besides my funny voice and the things I say you also get to hear them.

Cousins

Last night we went over to Matt and Brittany Carter's to see their twin girls, Madison and Bailey, who are almost 2 weeks old and almost 5 lbs. I wanted to have a picture with Kaylee and her twin cousins and as you can see Kaylee is double their size and wasn't to happy when I took the picture. On Micah's side there are 5 baby girls born this year. I am sure when they are all older they are going to have a lot of fun together. I was feeling bad when we were going to have the only boy with all these girls, but don't have to worry anymore, Kaylee will love her girl cousins.

rainbows

This is the first of many rainbows that we have had here since Sunday. We have been getting a lot of rain and usually after it rains a rainbow appears.

1 month

Wow, I can't believe a month has already gone by since Kaylee was born. I had a fun time taking pictures of my cute little girl. It is hard to just choose one or two to post about, so here are more pictures then you probably want to see. Kaylee has started smiling and googling. I can't wait until she can start sleeping through the night. These 1am and 4am feedings are rough to get up for, but I would do anything for my little one.

I love sleeping pictures and you can see Kaylee was a little tired of me taking pictures

This is the stare that I get all the time from Kaylee with her mouth wide open.
