Blowing Bubbles











It seems like everyday Keaton learns something new. Today when I picked her up, Maria said that she was kicking her feet and moving her arms all day. She also said that she started blowing bubbles with her mouth and cracking up at herself when she did it. It wasn't until I got home that I realized what she was talking about. For 3 hours straight, Keaton made zerbert sounds with her mouth and rumbled her lips and blew bubbles all while laughing at herself each time she did it. It was hysterical. She was even doing it during her last feeding of the night, which ended up very unsuccessful, because she could not concentrate on eating. She thought she was so funny. I'm sure it will be something new tomorrow. She is really developing quite the personality and she is loving life and happy all the time!

So Many Firsts











Everything seems to be happening SO fast. In just the past week, both of Keaton's bottom two teeth have broke through the surface, almost all of her hair has fallen out, and now when you lie her down on her back, she immediately rolls over to her belly. She also sleeps the enter night on her belly (still 12 hours!) We were afraid the whole teething thing would be a nightmare, but Keaton doesn't really seem to mind. She does this adorable sucking in and out with her mouth and she is constantly sucking on her fingers. But, no fever, crying, etc. so I guess things are going good. She recently started going on jogs, still in her infant seat, with dad, and is really enjoying the nice weather and getting the stare at her handsome daddy while he runs even though she falls asleep right away. We are getting more and more belly laughs each day too. Keaton's eyes have changed from bright blue to brown and now they are green, so who knows what color they will actually be. She is still gaining weight and growing well and we still have to add rice cereal to her bottles during the day to try to keep her food down. We end up with a lot of projectile vomit on us every day. Just this morning, I was walking her downstairs to put her in her carseat and she let out this huge burp and puked all over me and all down the stairs. I had to quickly change before going to work and could smell spit up on me all day (which I actually enjoyed which is kind of gross). It's also a bit embarrassing when someone asks to hold her, we have to say to beware of spit up. We are still absolutely loving Maria. She takes such good care of Keaton and loves on her all day.

Home Alone!


Keaton and Mom are spending the weekend home alone while Nathan goes snowboarding in Colorado. We figured he could use a little vacation for all the great "daddy" work he does. KLove and I went to the doctor today for a weight check, and she put on one whole pound in only 2 weeks! Yeah!!! No more weight checks until her 6 month appointment. She is now 12 pounds 8 ounces. Still a skinny little thing, but moving on up. She absolutely loves being with Maria during the day, and it is a wonderful balance for all of us, and so nice to know that she is in such loving hands during the day. The kiddos spent 2 of the days this week at our house and Pierce came over here. So, Nathan and I had to baby proof our whole house a little earlier than expected, but now it is done. Keaton and I are going to enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!
