New Project

For those of you who don't know... Ryan and I (well Ryan) bought a house in Baldwin City. We are closing June 5th. Since I now have this house to decorate with limited funds I am being crafty (kind of). Anyway, I LOVE this bath mat. It is made out of wine corks. I only need 180 of them. So, if any of my readers drink wine I would appreciate you saving the corks and giving them to me! I'm not a big wine drinker so I desperately need help!!

Picture Update!

You think I'm trying to do what??


What???



I'm not up to anything!

I know, I know, I'm cute!

Onery little thing

I think I am going to have to cage her in!

You can call me Betty Crocker

Have any of my loyal readers watched Jamie Olver's food revolution? I haven't had a chance to actually watch the show, but I have seen him on Rachael Ray and read his website. It is crazy to think about what kids are eating. I want Kellyn to be healthy and I want to be 100% sure what she is putting into her little tummy. With that being said I have decided to make her baby food. Yesterday I made, squash, green beans, pears, apple sauce, avocado and teething biscuits.
The teething biscuits are awesome in theory. In reality they are a HUGE mess. Making them was easy. Cleaning up after Kellyn crumbled one... not so much!

Below are some pictures of her baby food. I had to put some green beans in an ice try. Which, oddly is the way most website recommend storing baby food. Each "cube" is one ounce of baby food.
I fed her avocado last night. Needless to say, she was not a fan. That is the first food that we have tried that she hasn't liked. I will probably try it again today and see what happens.

Sleeping beauty

Chocolate flavored coffee table???

Who needs teething toys when you can chew on the coffee table? I haven't figured out if she's gnawing on the coffee table because she is getting more teeth or if she is just trying to sharpen the two she has.:)
Whatever it is she has continued to try to escape to the coffee table whenever she has a chance. She isn't crawling but she is still pretty mobile. She will either roll to the coffee table or scoot there... which ever is faster!

Milestones

Ryan and I were talking last night and we find it amazing how fast Kellyn learns how to do things. It seems like over night she figures out new skills and then perfects them. Recently she has started sitting up herself. She can't sit up on her own, but once we sit her down she stays there. Now she can lean over and pick up toys without falling over. She also can stop herself from falling forward or backward.

She is also soooo close to crawling and sitting up from the floor. If she could just figure out her arms she would have it! However, personally I am not ready for her to start crawling. I haven't baby proofed. I also like that I can sit her somewhere and she stays while I clean up or what-not. I'm not sure I'm ready to be chasing her around. Especially because she has Ryan's personality. So I'm sure she will be a cleaver little thing. I envision her crawling and stopping and when I get to her and pick her up she will take off again. :)

Above are some pictures of Kellyn sitting up. Notice her hair. I find it hilarious!
