More T-Ball

More T-Ball

Tuesday

April 23rd, 2013

 

I used to just like going to these games because it gave us something to do, but after tonight's game I've come to the conclusion that T-Ball is hilarious!! These kids have finally all warmed up to each other and are having a blast! Brody did awesome tonight too! He jumped right in without any bribes from me and enjoyed it the whole time.  

 

They let all the kids bat once each inning and no one gets out, so they all get to make it home. Here's Brody scoring, not that we keep score or anything haha.

 

 

Being silly waiting for his turn to bat. He told me on the way to the game that his favorite part was when you get to hit the ball. He also told me that he needed to "bring the heat", lol I'm guessing his coach or someone said this.

 

Taking off!!

 

The funniest part is when they are in the field, us parents seriously laugh almost the whole time. This picture captures is all...Brody on top of the dog pile for the ball, the coach in the right of the picture telling them not to fight over it, the kids in the back messing around totally oblivious to anything that is going on, the kid on the right skipping, oh and the boy on the left with the ball! Haha the 3, including Bro, in the dog pile prob have no clue another kid already has the ball!! Too funny! 

 

Brody attempting to get the ball, see the legs, one on the ground one in the air...ya that's him.

 

I swear its like a mass stamped everything the ball is hit, everyone wants to get it! Love that smile on Brody's face :) So glad hes enjoying it.

4 Month shots

Four Month Shots

Monday

April 22nd, 2013

 

Today Kinsley had her oh so fun 4 month shots. She was a tough little girl though!! she got an oral one, that judging by her face didn't taste too hot to her. Then one in her arm that got one sort of whimper out of her, then two in her legs, the last one finally cause a cry for a few seconds. What a trooper!! Doctor was very happy with her developmentally wise. Shes right on track as far as cooing, grasping and being able to soon sit up. Her legs are very strong and her attention is great. She has gained a little weight since her last appointment, but still is right in the middle as far as weight goes. I guess she was just born with a bang then decided to slow down. She had a rough evening after her shots, with lots and lots of crying. But were just glad as is well with her health, we are so incredibly blessed!!

 

 Kinsley 4 month shots - what a happy girl!!
4 months 1 day old

*14 pounds 3 ounces (53%)

*25 1/4 inches (84%)

*Head circumference = 42.1cm (89%)

 

 

 

Just for fun...another comparison :)

 

 

Brody's 4 month Stats

Monday Febuary 2nd, 2009 (4 months 1 day old)

* 18.2 pounds

*27 1/2 inches

* Head circumference = 17 1/2 inches

I have it down that he was 94%, not sure if its for weight or height, I'm guessing weight though.

I still cant get over how much bigger Kinsley was at birth but that Brody continued to stay big while Kinsley hasn't. So fun to see the differences between the two.

 

 And another just for fun...

4 Months

Four Months

Sunday

April 21st, 2013

 

Like always I just had to take pictures of Miss Kinsley at her 4 month mark. We went on a walk to the lake and by the time we got back it was getting dark, so the lighting totally stunk. But I made it work and got some cute pictures of this little princess :)

 

 

Weight

14 pounds 3 ounces, so happy she is continuing to pack on the pounds. Although she is only 53% for weight so she never has gotten back up to her huge percentile she started out with. As for height she is 25 ½ inches which is 84% and her head circumference is 42.1 cm (89%).

Health
Her health is good. This month was a lot better then last, no sicknesses that I can remember. She does seem to always wake up with a stuffy nose so I have to use saline drops on her a lot. Her nose and eyes get red and she rubs them a lot. I asked her doctor if that could mean allergies and she said we can’t really tell yet, to just continue giving her the drops as needed.

 

She loves examining everything she can get a hold of...including her own hands :p

 

Sleep

This child is so unpredictable as far as nights go. The beginning of the month started out with her sleeping soundly through the night. We hit a very rough spot in the middle where I swear she woke up ever 1 to 2 hours to eat. I finally refused to feed her until at least 5am which saved us and we ended the month with 1 to 2 feedings during the night. I’m still working on getting ride of the 3am feeding. And I hate to admit it but after her 5 or 6 am feeding she almost always stays in our bed (mostly because I’m too lazy to move her back). She still sleeps in crazy late, waking anywhere from 11-12 (occasionally earlier). Also I’ve noticed her naps becoming a lot more consistent. Her one nap we have down pretty well is around 2 for a couple hours.

 

Clothes

She mostly wears 3-6 months clothes but can easily fit into most 6 months with only a few being too big. She ended the month with all her jammies being size 6 months, which fit her perfectly with little to no growing room. Its fun to finally on certain occasions be able to wear spring type clothes (the weather is so funky here).

 

 

Diet
Milk as always. She doesn’t mess around when it comes to eating either. This girl is in and out when she eats, usually only taking 5 minutes. Unless she is tired in that case she tends to drag it on a bit longer.

 

Crying
This girl sure knows how to cry, there is no denying that. Sometimes she can handle it but most of the time she does not like to be put down. I hold her way too much just to make her happy, I’m a sucker with the kids! She is stubborn as heck too, If she wants to be held she will cry until she gets her way.

 

 

Milestones
She has had some fun milestones! One of the most fun is her laugh :) She has only full on laughed a few times but she does have little short laughs quiet often. She first started to laugh when she heard us, it’s like its contagious. Then she started to laugh when we tickle her stomach, it’s the cutest thing ever! She also smiles a lot which is equally as adorable. She is recognizing us a lot more and reacting with smiles and happiness when she see’s us. She is holding her head up like a pro now, in fact when I try to hold her head down to snuggle up to me she wont have it! She rolls over from her stomach to her back and is starting to try to roll from her back to stomach but hasn’t made it yet. She is able to put support on her legs for a lot longer now then she did before. She has officially found her hands and loves to check them out and chew on them. I have noticed her looking at her feet but hasn’t gotten a hold of them yet. She is also great at grasping things and continuing to hold onto them for a long period of time. She puts anything and everything she gets a hold of into her month! She can now see an object that she wants and reach for it.



 

Products I'm loving.

We totally love the Bumbo seat! Especially at dinner, she sits on the table in it and just loves being up with us. I think she enjoys it so much because she is sitting up and able to look around at everything. Kinsley loves using her legs, so about midway through the month we bought her a jenny jumper and she loves it! She hasn’t quiet used it to jump a lot but she loves hanging out in it. I’m also lovin her teething rings. This girl loves to put things in her mouth; she especially loves chewing on our fingers so we bought her some rings instead and she’s starting to enjoy them. I bought her some leggings from old navy when we were in St George last and she wears them constantly. They are so comfy yet still so fashionable!! HeHe. Last, I’m lovin our baby front carrier thing. It’s not close by and I can’t remember the name…you know those back pack things you carry them in. She gets heavy to carry around so this is a life saver when we want to go for a mini walk outside or on a trail where the stroller can’t go.

I'm always asking Ian for back massages, they are my absolute favorite! Brody must hear me say it because tonight while I was hanging out with the kids on our bed Brody started to give Kinsley a "back massage". Talk about one lucky little sister!!

 

 

He loves this little girl so much...seriously best big brother ever!! :)

Exploring Prescott

Exploring Prescott

Friday

April 19th, 2013

 

I still love St George, and I'd still move back in a heart beat if I could, but the more we see of Prescott the more I like it. I'm starting to try to be more open minded to it since we do live here after all and don't have any plans of moving anytime soon. Prescott does have its beauty, there's lots of outdoor things to do, in fact we live right next to a forest...which even I have to admit is pretty dang cool. There's also lots of lakes, trails, and hikes to do around here. We haven't had many chances to go exploring so after Ian got off Friday we headed down to a trail that lead to a lake. We ended up having a blast!! We will definitely be doing it again soon :)

 

We came across this cool tepee thing someone made out of branches, Brody thought it was a pretty awesome fort!

 

Bro and I walked around the lake. We had a blast exploring everything, and there were lots of different types of cool birds.

It wasn't great for a stroller, next time we will bring the baby carrier, so Dad stayed behind with the sleeping baby :)

 

My handsome Little man!!

 

On our way back Brody wanted to play zombies!! So him and I ran from/kicked zombie butt the whole way back. It was a blast, and I got a good work out from it!! He is such a fun boy!!

 

Kinsley woke up in a super happy mood :)



First Game!!

Bro's First T Ball Game!

Tuesday

April 16th, 2013

 

Bro did awesome today!! He even enjoyed himself and had fun!! I was so nervous it wasn't going to go too great (from how some of the practise's have gone :/ ) but we bribed him with his favorite pizza place and it worked great! It was ridiculously insanely windy, like it always seems to be here, so both teams agreed to play a short game. Each team batted once and we called it good.

 

Brody one first and Ian being first base coach.

 



 

Bro in the black jacket running to second. The other team all had baseball pants on, us on the other hand...not so much.

 

And were takin the field...Ian trying to explain where to throw to first base, these cuties don't quiet get it all the time haha.

 

This pictures kind of blurry but I just love how Bro's doing a little dance out on the field. Classic T-Ball right there!

 

Finally paying attention and ready to go :)

 

Game over, giving the other team high fives.

 

And of course happy for some snacks

 

Since he did good we kept our promise and went to Peter Piper Pizza after.

Of course lovin the gun games. I played one for the first time too and I have to admit they are strangely fun.

 



He always get super serious and concentrated for the games haha.

 

This game reminded him of Scooby Doo, so it became a favorite.

 

Kinsley finally woke up and joined us :)

 

We all had a great night and are looking forward to more games!!



Sunday :)

Love Sundays!

Sunday

April 14th, 2013

 

Sundays are my favorite. We have so little family time during the week with Ian getting home after 7 every night for work and we always intend to have relaxing Saturdays but since its our only day to get things done we are always on the go. So Sundays are our only true relaxing family days...and I love it!

 



 

We thought it was so cute how Miss Kinsley fell asleep :)
