First Tooth!

For the last couple of weeks Kailie hasn't been 100% her sweet little self . . . a little less sleep, runny nose, bit of a cough, watery eyes . . . so today I decided to take her into the doctors just to make sure it wasn't anything major (yes I know a bit paranoid but I think that came as part of my new job descrption when I decided to take on the Mom role!!). Anyway he checked her out and assured me it was just a mild cold and that her breathing was all clear. Then when I got home I got to spend a bit of extra time with Kailie and as she was chewing on my fingers I all of a sudden got a sharp stabbing pain through my finger - Kailie has cut her first tooth!!! Which probably explains a whole lot of what I went to the doctor's for in the first place!! These little milestones are all so exciting we just had to share:)

Here are a few pictures - hope you all had a wonderful Easter - we sure did here!

Five Months Old!

Yet another incredible month with our little girlie! The new picture is posted on the side however because she's not laying very straight she doesn't look much bigger than the four month picture but I can assure you she is!! It was right before bed when the 5 month picture was taken so it wasn't quite the photo shoot that it usually is!

I would say our most exciting news recently is that Kailie has figured out how to roll from her back to her tummy – and she just loves to show off her new move!! The only problem is that once she gets onto her tummy she has a very limited amount of time that she'll tolerate being there. The first night after she had figured out how to roll over proved to be a bit problematic as Kailie often wakes up in the middle of the night but she has always been very good at putting herself back to sleep (it’s her magic little thumb!) however when she rolls onto her tummy in the middle of the night she can’t get to that magic little thumb so she has to cry for Mom and Dad to come and rescue her – which also then completely wakes her up! So we now have her wedged in the crib pretty good to prevent the nighttime rolling!

We have also just started giving Kailie a little taste of some rice cereal and she is taking it like a star! I am just amazed at how just she seems to know what to do – she has always loved to eat so I know I shouldn’t be too surprised but she really seems to know exactly what is going on when the spoon comes at her . . . it’s all pretty messy right now but all the fun we have doing it is totally worth it!

Kailie continues to sleep like an angel – our little night owl has finally decided to give up her nighttime fights and she now goes to bed around 7 each night . . . which means the rush is on to get home from work so we can get a bit of time in with her . . . I’m glad she’s getting longer sleeps at night but I sure do miss our evenings together.

Kailie has also (finally) decided that she likes her Baby Bjorn . . . she wasn’t keen on it when she had to face forward but now that she faces out and can see all that goes on she just loves it!! She loves to go for walks and to the grocery store with us where there are all sorts of things for her to look at . . . we usually don’t hear a peep out of her!

Last month we had a lot of fun with Gramm Phyllis while she was here for a week or so and this month we are looking forward to seeing Uncle Parry and Aunt Carol as they had decided to come to Bermuda for a vacation:)

Below are a few pictures and I think I have finally figured out how to get a video on here (although I must apologize in advance for the bad video work!) – hopefully I will have more of these in the future!

Lots of Love,
