Today Kaylee and I went over to my friend Challae's house. We had a lot of fun together. Challae had her daughter Brinlee 4 days before I had Kaylee, so it is always so fun to get together to see how much our daughters have grown and to share stories. Here are a few pictures of the girls.

How cute am I?? :)

After all the excitement..they both got the hiccups. Thanks Challae for letting Kaylee and I come over and play.

Wow! Time has flown. My sweet Kaylee is growing up so fast. I have the hardest time calling Kaylee my baby. She does not seem like a baby to me. She is just my best friend. I love spending time with her everyday. I tell her everything. I read her books and show her how I put on my makeup. She is just soo much fun and gives me the cutest smiles and laughs. I feel so blessed to have her be a part of our family.

This is my attempt at trying to get Kaylee to take a bottle. She played with it for a little bit..but the battle is still going. I am determined to keep trying though.

This is Kaylee's new facial expression. Since she doesn't take a binkie..she now sucks on her tongue. It is soo cute and sooo silly at the same time.




Yesterday was the first time she rolled over for us. It was in S....L....O....W motion. I wish we would have grabbed the camera. But both BJ and I were too busy cheering her and anxiously waiting for her to roll over. I will try to get it recorded, but every time I turn on the camera she just stares on it.

Kaylee is now sleeping in her crib in her very own room and has been for about a week or so. Not going to lie...it was a hard transition for me! I would wake up in the middle of the night and walk...ok I wont lie...RUN in to her room and quietly walk up to her and watch her belly go up and down to reassure me she is still breathing. I know... I know...I am a crazy worried mom. But really if you knew me, I have always been a worry wart so this is not out of the ordinary. Despite the bumpy transition for me; Kaylee's transition has been pretty good. She has been sleeping through the night for over a week now. She sleep for 8 hours every night and then wakes up, eats, and then goes back to bed for another 4 hours. Then she is awake most of the day with a few naps throughout the day. There are a few times however that she wakes up crying because she will wrap her arm or leg around the crib bar and get mad she is stuck. lol I still can't figure out how she gets there though. I swaddle her every night and lie her in the middle of the crib. But every night she wakes up sideways with her hand holding the crib bar. No wonder she has such a huge bald spot on the back of her head. She squirms all around her crib.

I tried to put her in this fun saucer, but as you can see she is way too little still. My sister in-law let us borrow it.

My Prince Charming :)

I just have to say that Christie is the most wonderful mother and wife.  While most people take time for family, Christie's time is for the family.  Sometimes I have to force her to take time for herself.  She is so kind and loving and I never worry about our daughter or things around the house.  She works so hard and I appreciate all she does for us.  What an amazing woman.

Also, a special thanks to each of our mothers and all they do and have done for us.  Happy Mothers Day!

Here is a cute video of Kaylee. BJ likes to take her on her very own plane rides in his hands -while he makes noises with his mouth. WELL...Kaylee is now trying to make those noises as well! She is so smart! This video is of me doing it-only because when I tried to record her doing it with BJ she had decided she was done.

Kaylee also started laughing but we have yet to get that recorded. We are having so much fun with her that by the time I think to get the camera she is done playing.

Not that I dont think Kaylee is not Perfect but there are a few not so fun habits she is getting into as well.....The other night I was holding her and talking to her and she just kept yelling in a high pitched scream. She wasn't crying. She was talking/cooing in a VERY HIGH pitched scream. APPARENTLY she was tired. Man, how would that be to try to communicate with your parents and they just look at you and say "oh how cute!". No wonder she started yelling, I was not listening to her! And last night I went out with my friends to a bridal shower (blog post coming) and left BJ with some breast milk so he could give her a bottle. She has taken a bottle several times so I wasn't even worried. BJ called texted at around 9:30pm that Kaylee would NOT take a bottle. He was so sweet, Kaylee had been crying for an hour while he continuously tried to give her the bottle and he didn't want to bother me while I was out. He tried different milk, different temperatures..EVERYTHING and she refused. I hurried home and she was so exhausted she had fallen asleep in BJ's arms. It was cute. We have the Jazz game tonight and grandma scott is watching her so I am really hoping she does better this time. It's not like BJ hasn't given her a bottle before. He has on several occasions and she has done fine. Hopefully it was a one time thing.

BJ and I went to stake conference this last Sunday at the conference center in Salt Lake. We decided it would be best to sit up at the top...close to the exits just in case we had to get out a few times with Kaylee. WELL...apparently that is what everyone with Young kids thinks as well. BJ and I usually sit as close to the speakers as we can; especially at the conference center so this was way out of the ordinary for us and we discovered a whole different mommy/daddy world up there. When I asked the usher where I could feed Kaylee; she took me to this room where their was a TV, 4 really nice rocking chairs, and a place to change her diaper. If BJ wasn't in their waiting for me sitting by himself; I may of just stayed in there. :-) I didn't know any of the women in there but since we were all breastfeeding a baby we had something in common and just chatted away like we had all known each other from high school.

When I got back to my seat I kept finding myself watching these kids playing with their dolls or eating their snacks. I even caught a mom reading a friend magazine while Elder Eyring spoke. I then turn around and see a mom coloring in her little son's coloring book while her husband was out with their son trying to calm him down.
I am even catching myself bringing in snacks with Kaylee's diaper bag. I mean it is so big and ya never know when you are going to need a yummy treat right?
