She found it!!

That is right my friends, Kellyn has found her thumb! She has been trying to find it for about a week. she would suck on the side of her hand, but couldn't figure out that she needed to stick her thumb out. Last night she finally got it. I have been waiting for this... I really don't want to have to break her of sucking her thumb, but she NEEDS to learn to self sooth. Normally when we lay her down at night her pacifier will fall out and she wakes up. Last night I laid her down and she woke up, but I just left her there and she sucked on her thumb and went to sleep on her own. This is HUGE news in our house. She has also slept all night long the last two nights. She was waking up at 4:30 -5 ish every night, but the last two nights she has slept for about 10 hours!! Now, if she could change her own diaper...:) I will try and get a picture of her sucking her thumb today. She looks so cute!

Kellyn is still sleeping! She went to sleep at 9 last night and it is currently 8:22 and she is still sleeping. I checked on her at 5:30 to make sure she was still breathing... and she was.
Nothing really new to report. She is trying really hard to sit up on her own and she scoots when she is on her belly. If she could figure out her arms she would be crawling.



This picture cracks me up. She was all bundled up and not happy about it.


Help me!



She sticks her tongue out at me a lot...

Pretty girl

I was trying to get a good picture of her hair... it is crazy in the morning!

Here is a video of her "dancing"... sorry I turned the camera the wrong way so just cock your head a little bit! :)

Now, this is where you go to the bathroom

The thing I love most about Ryan is the fact that there is never a dull moment. Last night Ryan decided she needed to wear a hat. So, we had a little hat fashion show... Kellyn was not a fan. Later Ryan was walking Kellyn around (thanks mom). While walking her around he was showing her every inch of our apartment.... The table where she will be doing homework, the sink where she will be doing a lot of dishes, and most importantly the bath room. While in the bath room Ryan showed her how to use the toilet. It was hilarious. Below is a picture of Kellyn sitting on the toilet and a picture of her reaction after. Enjoy!

There are also a couple of pictures of her hat fashion show.

Splish splash Kellyn is taking a bath!

Kellyn has starting loving her baths. She kicks her feet to splash the water, laughs and smiles. I have to watch her closely. I, of course, never leave her alone but I can't even turn around to get something because she will take a plunge! She squirms herself down and almost falls into the water. She also moves and almost flips over the net thing(whatever you call it). as you can see her hair is crazy when wet. it still drys fairly straight, but when it is wet it's super curly.
I have to bath her everyday (which they say not to do) because she smells!! Her hands stink because she gnaws on them and her neck stinks because of all her rolls. :) Stinky baby!
Well, off to work. Enjoy the pics!

Here are some pictures of Kellyn. Ryan's new nickname for her is Head and Shoulders... Her neck rolls now have rolls! :)

Happy Baby

Update

Sunday night Kellyn was laying on her stomach and she rolled over. Her face was priceless! She looked like she was thinking..."What in the hell just happened" and her arms and legs were spread out like "tada!". It was Hilarius! I laughed pretty hard. Ryan was sleeping and I went in a woke him up because I was excited and he said..."yeah." and went back to sleep. So I celebrated by myself! :)
She is smiling a lot more... but not at me. She smiles and giggles when she is staring at the wall or looking into space. Sometimes she will look at me and smile, but I don't think it's real. She is also able to sit up (when propped up) and look around. She is a strong little girl. She also has become very needy. She loves to be held all the time. She will sit in her bouncy chair or lay on her entertainment mat for 10 minutes and then she is over it and wants to be held. I went into work for 3 hours on Sunday and when I got home Ryan said, " I can't do anything. She wants to be held all the time." I said.. welcome to my world. :)

I know I have said it before but I think she is going to be a hyperactive child. She moves from one end of the crib to the other during the night. The other night I laid her on the right end of the crib, when I went in to get her she was on the left side facing the other direction. she desperately wants to be Mobile. When she is laying on her belly she moves her legs like she is crawling and gets frustrated when she doesn't move. I'm going to have my hands full when she becomes Mobile.
