I blog like I excersize....

In random spurts.


I will go from blogging every day to maybe once a week! That's my style of excersizing. Which is terrible, but true! I did great for 3 weeks of working out and now it's been 3 weeks of nothing. Yep, I just admited it, I haven't worked out in 3 weeks! I lost my motivation and am in a desperate search for it again. :)

I have so much to update on....
Kyah has become a busy little baby! She just amazes me everyday. She seems to learn something each day. Here are a few of her accomplishments!
- Laughs/giggles
- Loves Peek a boo
- Babble talk - I've been saying Mamamamama over and over to her and her response was da.... I am most certain her first word will be Dada!
- She sat up one time by herself for a total of 2 minutes (see post below) :) - She experienced her first cereal at 4 1/2 months old - she loved it so much at first and now she HATES it! I'm going to use a tip from a fellow blogger and add some applesauce!
- She takes one bottle of formula every day to every other day
- I'm still breastfeeding and we have feedings about 3 - 4 hours apart
- She naps 3 times a day and generally sleeps from 11:30/12 - 9 in the morning. (She does wake up for about 10 minutes to eat around 3:45 every morning! (And I'm totally the mom that sticks her in bed with me and nurses laying down! - It works for us and keeps me sane!) :)
- She reacts to our expressions

The other evening I was nursing Kyah and felt a little bump on the back of her head. I know every inch of that girl and knew that she didn't have that little bump prior to that evening. So, my mind started to wonder... and wonder.... I woke Dustin up, texted my sister, called my mom.... Dustin's response - Go to sleep, she's fine. Mom didn't answer and Robin wasn't sure. So, with it being 11:30 in the evening I just sat there with my girl and sobbed. YEP! I sobbed. It had finally hit me. After 20 minutes of running all scenerios thru my head I just sobbed. I love this little girl so much that I would literally give my life for her. I laid in bed, praying and thanking God for blessing me with this amazing girl. I slept so well and so did Kyah! I woke up and decided that I wasn't worried too much anymore. Long story stort, I talked to the nurse and she said to go ahead and bring her in. Thankfully it was just a swollen lymph node. And my dr assured me that I was a great mom for noticing it, but that it was perfectly normal. I am sure this is the first of many doctor's visits I will have to make sure Kyah is fine and healthy. Being a Mom is a hard job. I feel 100% responsible for meeting every need she has. I admire all mom's in a new way! :)

I've been so behind on blogging... I'll try and give an update on what my little fam has been up to.
Love this girl...
Playing with Daddy...
how funny is this face, he blows on her neck and this is her reaction. lol
We've been doing LOTS of this....
Even more of this....
And not nearly enough of this...
Oh this baby just MELTS me!!!!
got to introduce my girl to my girlfriends from high school! This pic is just hilarious, her skirt is up and she looks like she's slouching like an old lady.. lol


Well, I have a whole lot more to say, but gotta run..
Hope you all are doing great. Sorry I haven't been commenting much, I'm a busy Momma!

Glad you guys are doing well. I am blogging just like I exercise too, just here and there. Good grief!!

She's beautiful! Lydia has a bump on her neck like that and it won't go away! It makes me nervous but everytime they check it they assure me that it's fine(it's been there since she was 2 months old). I understand how scared you were. I cried when we found hers, too! My hubby is a doc and KNOWS that all the signs point to "nothing" but when it's your child it's different :).

Cutie!!! And I feel you on the mom thing, it is HARD!! Don't worry I haven't been working out either:) As a speech pathologist I can tell you that the first sounds are always /p/, /b/, and /m/'s so it always amazes me when babies say dada first!! And it happens like 90% of the time!! Crazy!!

Ashley said...

She is a sweetie!! I just eat her up! You are such a good momma! I know how that is, just worrying. I am sick right now and won't let Avery be around me, so mom is keeping her! ;( It's killing me!!!!!!

Glad you are good though and we must catch up soon, we need a photoshoot of our gals!!!

You crack me up! Blog like you excercise, ha! I wish I excercised liked I blog which isn't that much either but I just never excercise anymore.

I LOVE the first picture. She looks gorgeous!!! Her eyes look so big just like yours.

Brittney said...

I feel you on the workout thing. I started up again this week after 2 weeks off. It was HARD! She's such a cutie, and you're totally normal for worrying. I do it all the time! :)

Q, La, and Gooner said...

I think you are awesome to be so attentive and to check her! Mothers know best! I think most babies first word is Dada...much to mothers chagrin. I think it is God's way of gifting them when we get to be home with them!!!

The Hickmans said...
