Miss Elle is 5 Months!

a few days late .... but what is new!

I cannot believe my baby girl is 5 months, she is almost half a year old! TEAR!!! Miss elle is doing so many new things every time I look around. People alway tell you to cherish the moments because they go fast ... no kidding my little baby is already getting so big! We do not have a good well check up till 6 months so my mommy intuitions are telling me the following:

• a solid 15lbs!
• 26 inches long!
• she is a rolling machine in both directions!
• she talk and laughs all the time, its quite precious!
• she is in LOVE with her jumperoo!
• she doesn't like to nap during the day but sleeps between 6 - 10 hours then eats and is back down for another 2-4 hours so I am not complaining!
• if we prop her up she can sit for a few minutes by herself!
• she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth!

Here are our results of the 5 month photo shoot!

Silly Daddy!

XOXO, Kami

Just a few more pictures!

Happy late Valentine's Day!!!

Thanks, daddy! I love my new teddy bear!

Hanging out with Uncle KJ on his birthday weekend!

Miss elle is already picking out her own super bowl squares! Should I be worried?!

Ellie is 4 Months ...

well almost 5 months now, a tad late! Oppsie!

she loves, loves, loves her feet!

Miss elle is growing so fast! Her 4 month stats were: 26 inches long and 14lbs and 15 ounces. She has mastered rolling in all directions. As soon as we put her down she is across the room in about 3 seconds! The doctor has warned us that we have a very active child and she will probably be an early mover! YIKERS!!! I wonder where she got that from ... mommy and daddy perhaps! :)

XOXO, Kami

It's been a while ....

But we have been very very busy! After our trip to Portland we turned right around a couple days later and headed off to Cancun which was AMAZING!!! Alex has worked so hard this year that he made it to President's Club for his Company. All his hard work defiantly paid off!! To top it off one of our best couple friends came with us too! We couldn't have asked for a better mini vacation. We took about a billion pictures but here are a few of my favorite!

Since we have been traveling pretty much all of February we came back to a baby melt down that lasted several days! :( Obviously, our baby likes her schedule! She has been in DISASTER mode which means screaming for 30 minutes straight every couple hours plus she had a really bad runny nose! I took miss elle to the doctor just to make sure it wasn't an ear infection and we are so thankful it wasn't. The doctor said she is having a temper tantrum from all the changing schedules! REALLY, a temper tantrum at 4 months! Go figure!! Our pediatrician said give it a few days .... we did and we are all back to normal! Plus, she slept 10 hours straight last night!! My fingers are crossed for this pattern to continue!! Especially, because Alex is off traveling again for work! This week he is in Austin, Texas, enjoying the 75 degree weather. I do have to admit I am a little jealous!!

XOXO, Kami

Another nap means a picture dump ... Enjoy!!!

TOUCHDOWN!!!!


Oh how I love this little girl so much ...

XOXO, Kami

Update Time!

Oregon was a blast! Miss elle got to meet a bunch of new people and see where Mommy lived as a little girl! Yes, I know she will not remember it but it was fun to show her my old room! She did not sleep well at all!!! She missed her crib dearly. Even though she wasn't sleeping that well before we left she took that to a whole new level! :( It was very rough for Mommy! But on the other hand she flew like a champ! She was that perfect baby on the airplane .... thank goodness because I was all by myself! I do have to admit the people at the airport were super nice and were always offering me help which I appreciated very very much!! Thank you to all the nice people out there in the world!!

While in Oregon, we celebrated Unlce KJ's 28th birthday and the Super Bowl. For KJ's birthday we went to a Piano Bar in downtown Portland, which was FABULOUS!!! It was so much fun. Not just because we got to go out with all adults but the bar was happening!! The bad part we didn't get home till around 2:30ish and as soon we got home it was feeding time for miss elle! I got very little sleep that night while everyone slept till about noon the next day! Sigh, I was so jealous!!!

Miss elle's sleeping pattern did improve when we got home but she is still not sleeping like her old self! I wish she was because Alex has been out of town for 2 weeks now and I am SUPER DUPER tired!!! I am so excited he comes home tomorrow and I get some free time! I can hardly wait! What to do, what to do .... oh I know clean up are super messy house because I have not had time, start packing for our Cancun trip next week, oh wait try on bathing suits and my summer gear to see if it fits :( !!!

Guess who is up from nap time ....

XOXO, Kami

Heading to Oregon ... home sweet home!

Miss Elle's big travel day is tomorrow! She is going on her first flight, luckily it is not very long (about an hour and ten minutes or so). I am a little worried as Alex cannot travel with me! :( I have told her all day long that we must be good tomorrow between 2pm - 5pm and no pooping or melt downs! I sure hope all my little talks sure work! Fingers crossed!!!

I am sure I am packing WAY too much but better safe then sorry ... right? Well that is what I am going with right now. I am very lucky in the fact that my father in-law is going to take us to the airport and my mom will come and pick us up! I just hope the weather is in our favor and there are no delays!

Miss Elle is going to meet all her family and friends in Oregon, I know she can hardly wait! We will also be celebrating uncle Kj's birthday and the Super Bowl of course! This will be a jammed pack weekend with lots of celebrating! I am just hoping that Miss Elle has an easy transtition to all her new surrondings! This is the trial trip before we fly her across country to Cancun, Mexico, on Febraury 16! Hopefully, our future is looking bright! :)

XOXO, Kami
