I'm OUTRAGED!!! (and a few other updates...)

I feel like I haven't blogged in a while..... but it's only been since Sunday! Hahaha!! Well, yesterday KaeLee pulled herself up to her feet for the first time! She has been able to pull herself up to her knees for a while, but that was the first time on her feet. The other morning, I went in to her room to get her up and she had herself pulled up on the side of the crib (on her knees) and was waiting for someone to come get her... it was SO cute! Her little head was poking up above the crib railing. I told Shawn that this means we should probably move her mattress down to a lower setting before she pulls herself up to her feet and topples over it! So good thing he did that yesterday since that's when she started pulling herself up! The crib is such a pain to adjust, but Shawn was a trooper and won't have to do it again! (Until the next baby, I suppose...)

I can't believe that tomorrow is October! This whole summer has just flown by! And there are now only 12 days until our ultrasound! Whoo-Hoo! And KaeLee turned 8 months old on Saturday... she's getting SO big! And she just went up a size in diapers too! WOW! I just opened the first package of diapers that I actually purchased! I have officially gone through all the diapers from my baby shower! WOW! That lasted a long time! I am so grateful for them all!

I watched Hayden yesterday and KaeLee was so excited to see her, she couldn't hardly contain herself! But every time I put KaeLee on the floor, she would immediately start crawling towards Hayden, then Hayden would start crying and crawl away from her. Well, she crawls a lot faster than KaeLee and KaeLee couldn't catch her, so this made KaeLee cry because Hayden was crawling away from her, then Hayden would cry louder because KaeLee was crying. Then I would cry because they were crying.... No, just kidding! :) But it was pretty funny. Hayden finally warmed up to KaeLee after about an hour or so, then they were able to play together just fine..... except if KaeLee touched Hayden in any way, she would immediately start crying. It was quite funny! She's coming over again tomorrow so we'll see how they do then. Weston (Our neighbor boy who just turned 2) will also be over during the morning.... I'll have my hands full, that's for sure!

So I have to share my current complaint! I am quite outraged by it, actually! So the hospital starts a new policy tomorrow that anyone under the age of 14 cannot visit the pediatrics floor or the new mommy floor! I am so incredibly peeved at this!! I do not understand how they can do this?!?! What this means is that KaeLee will not be allowed on the floor when I have this next baby!! I seriously cannot get over this and I am completely upset about it!! How can you keep the mother's child from seeing her for who knows how many days?!? This is not right!! It's called the "Family Birthplace" but yet, they aren't allowing the family in?!?! Oh, I'm so mad! I am seriously considering home birth because of this! (haha, yeah right.... there's no drugs at home... haha) Anyway, I thought I would share my frustrations... in case anyone cares... I can kinda see their point for just visitors, but keeping the mother's children away is just outrageous!

Well, I am at work... it is incredibly slow.... I think I will go visit KaeLee across the street.... I don't think there's anything else too exciting to tell about... have a good rest of the week.... halfway to the weekend! YAY! (wait, I have to work this weekend... BOO!!!) Talk to ya later!

A Day of Fair Fun

Here are a few more random pictures I thought I would post... plus some from the fair today! Enjoy! Hope you all had a great weekend!


KaeLee looking in the mirror... she loves looking at herself that's for sure!


She has finally warmed up to the rocking horse that Great Grandpa Garrett gave her... for the first few weeks we had it, she would cry every time you tried to put her on it! Hahaha


This was a picture of her shortly after the photo shoot I did with her. She started to get pretty cranky. Someone was ready for a nap!


This was one of the pictures I took during her mini photo shoot that I didn't post the other day.


This is what she tends to do most with these rings! She also likees to look through them too. She's so funny!


Well, we went to the fair today! It was really nice.... the weather was great, though it started to get a bit too hot for us about 3:00, so we didn't stay much longer after that. We got there right when it opened today though and it wasn't too crowded yet, so that was nice too!

KaeLee loved the animals and she loved people watching. She would get so excited whenever she would see little kids and other babies. I think she thinks they are going to play with her or something... haha. I wanted to take her on a pony ride but Shawn claimed she was too young. Whatever. We didn't end up doing it, but I kinda wish we would have. Owell. She can next year and maybe actually enjoy it more! I also wanted to take one of those old time pictures, but he wouldn't go for it.... BOO!!!

We walked through all the buildings and, of course, chowed down on our favorite "fair foods". We ran into my parents and little brother, accompianied by 4 of his friends. They were "taking a break from rides" because they weren't feeling too good..... too much fair food and too many rides apparently... haha. 4 1/2 hours was enough to wear us all out! Overall, we had lots of fun and look forward to next year when KaeLee will be older and can enjoy a lot more of it! And we did the whole thing with spending only about $50! Whoo-Hoo!! Quite frankly, that's AMAZING!! And it definitely wore KaeLee out... it's 7:30 and she's already in bed for the night! Another big Whoo-Hoo! Haha.... anyway, here are some pictures from our day! Enjoy and have a great week ahead!

Declaring My VICTORY!

Before I go to bed, I just had to declare my VICTORY!! I beat Shawn in hand and foot by a long shot!! Whoo-Hoo!! 5,705 to a mere 3,980!! Boy, do I LOVE winning! :) Sorry hon, maybe next time (but don't get your hopes up!) Goodnight y'all!
