10 About Ur Little One

i thought that it would be a cool post to list 10 things about kayden that you guys didn’t know.  i know everyone loves to talk about their little ones so i am going to tag a couple of people to get this show on the road. 

  i tag AnofferingofLove & Jenn and Tiff

1. kaydens in love with all things duck right now.  she can spot a duck a mile away. kayden knows that ducks make the quack, quack, quack sound, so whenever she sees a duck she says ” duck, duck, duck” cute right?!

2. kayden is flat-footed and she gets it from mommy j.  she can’t just wear any type of shoes because some don’t fit right.  we have a hard time with her and high top shoes.

3. right now kayden’s 2 top teeth are trying to coming through at the same time.  i heard that these are the most painful and i believe it.  some nights she has a very hard time sleeping. it seems like it takes forever for her teeth to come in completely.

4. whenever k girl has to poo poo..she likes her privacy. she finds the nearest corner of the room…she squats and does her business.  haha!  but if the bathroom door is open she goes and squats in the corner of the bathroom by the toilet.  its gonna be a breeze potty training this lady because she already knows what to do. ..tooo smart to be 1. 

5. kayden is a food junky.  one time her Aunt S  sat a wrapped hamburger on the edge of the table. kayden stole the burger and ate half of it before we even realized she had taken it.  she loves to eat and will eat just about anything.  it seems like the only place all this food is going is to her belly because she has a little pot belly now.  we are just happy that shes healthy and weighing in at 20lbs.

6. if your familiar with zodiac signs then you would know that kayden’s birthday nov. 11th means that shes a scorpio… Even as children Scorpios are often found to be wise beyond their years. Many astrologers call this the sign of the “oldest souls”. Old and wise beyond the average, Scorpios often know all the answersok i also read that they are very sexual, hard-headed, feisty and sassy. wish us luck in teenage years with this kid.  i knew my child was feisty when she was in the womb especially when we had sonograms.

7. kayden is gonna kill me for this one when she gets older..hell j’s gonna kill me when she reads this too, but how crazy is this… kayden has a birth mark *beauty mark* on her labia just like j does. same spot.  not shitting you. same spot, same size, looks exactly the same. what are the odds. i just find that to be so interesting and crazy. they look so much alike down to the same markings.  she indeed spit this kid out.  i’ve always wanted to share this cute little fact about them, but why would i share something so personal about j to family and friends. i’m glad i can share with you all though. 😀

8. kayden will be getting a new toddler bed when we make the big move to florida soon.  for christmas shes getting her new bedding which is Disney’s  Tinkerbell and Fairies.  we love the bedding because it has multi-raced fairies on the bedding, its playful, and when we think of kayden *like Tinkerbell* we think of  “little or peanut” kayden is our little Tinkerbell.

9. kayden has only been sick 3 times since shes been born.  they all have been ear infections.  shes getting over a case of it as we speak. this most recent time she didn’t run a horrid fever like times before. we were happy for that.

10. sometime during kayden’s school years i will be home schooling her.  not the whole 12 grades, but at some point i will. the way school systems are now-a-days, i feel like i could teach her better than these sucky schools ever could. yet i don’t wanna take her school experience away i am thinking about home schooling for 2 or 3 years.  maybe from 5th -8th grade or something, but i am gonna let her have her high school years.

well hope you enjoyed learning some things about my k bear that you didn’t know.   P.S.nobody told me that after your kid turns 1 that its like their on baby crack.

happy baby

Birthday Bash!

kayden had an awesome birthday party thursday of just family. there was a total of about 18 people.we ate pizza, chips, cake and ice cream.   kayden absolutely pigged out on the food because she NEVER gets to eat like this, but because it was her birthday and birthdays only come once a year. our baby really  enjoyed herself.  j and i only bought her one gift because christmas isn’t to far away.  we bought her first baby which is a cabbage patch preemie (the smallest doll of the cabbage patch line) she also got more winter clothes, a baby stroller *which she is obsessed over*, princess toys, money, ect…  of course we told people not to get her much, but they all are so crazy over her that they did and bought what they wanted to. we weren’t even expecting 18 people to show up, but it all turned out great in the end. we took tons of pictures and videos.  j and i are still in shock that our k bear is finally 1 years old. wow. where did the time go and why does it speed up when we want it to stand still.  i guess thats just life. next week is her 1  year baby check-up and with that comes more shots. as of now kayden knows all of her body parts and she will point at them when you ask her to.  shes an outstanding  runner walker. shes in a size 4 diapers, size 4 shoes, 12 month clothing, sleeps through the night, sleeps in her bed, we finally broke her from swaddling, kicks and throws balls, likes to be chased, still only 2 teeth, loves to laugh, snap and clap. she is a busy little girl. did i mention that kayden is so over baby food. it had gotten to the point were she spit out mushy food and she couldn’t stand baby formula..she wont even drink it anymore. due to her allergy to whole milk she is on lactose free milk *just like me* she loves big girl foods. i think thats about all for now so i will leave you with birthday portraits and party pictures. hope you all have a great weekend!  ps. the icing on the cake is cool whip icing.

Blogging for Me

i feel like sometimes  i talk and talk..and it seems like no one hears or understands me. what i love about wordpress is that even when i post and only get 1 comment..i can see the others that are viewing my posts even if they don’t comment. i’ve really felt like giving up on blogging lately because sometimes i can’t seem to find the time. then i have to remind myself that i started blogging for myself…to vent about the ups and downs of ttc…..so that i can look back and remember our journey to parenthood. it never mattered to me the amount of followers i had or the amount of comments i get.  i’m just happy to have made a few friends along the way. so even though i feel unheard sometimes…i know and can see that you are still reading.
