9 months old!!

 Time is flying by faster than I can even describe!! I can't believe this little monkey is 9 months old already! 

 

 Kyler's 9 Month Stats

Weight- 20 pounds 0 oz (78th percentile)

Height- 28.5 inches (81st percentile)

Head- 17 inches (31st percentile)

Kyler LOVES:

Mommy and Daddy, books, her ball pit, swimming, her puppies, playing and bath time. 

Kyler does NOT love:

Eating, her high chair, getting dressed or EATING! =(

It seems like our little girl is trying to learn how to do everything at once! Within a WEEK she tried standing on her own, feeding herself (really short-lived), she started waving, she cut 4 teeth (yeah, 4... and I can't drink).  I have had more than one mommy breakdown in the past few weeks. How long before she won't want mommy cuddles before bedtime? It seems like she is in diapers today, but will be in kindergarten tomorrow. I can't even handle the thought! Hormones might play a role in these breakdowns... Just a guess! I am sure there is no end in sight to this growing up too fast problem, so for now we shall enjoy every second of cuddles, giggles and blissful babyness! I might cry about her growing up, but she does get more fun every day! So maybe I should pull my shit together? Maybe!

Happy Valentines Day! (a bit late)

Zach and I have never been huge Valentines Day people, but there is something about having a baby that makes every holiday more exciting! We have had more sugar in various shades of pink and red than we need in a lifetime! AND we aren't done yet!

Rice Krispie treats with Valentine Sprinkles

Chocolate covered strawberries with less than attractive sprinkle attempt. (they tasted damn good though)

Kyler's first pancakes!

I also had A LOT of fun dressing Kyler in Valentines outfits all week! Aaaahhhh! So cute! Who knew the kid had so many outfits with hearts on them?

 

Gorgeous Valentine baby doing her own hair!

We got Ky a few little presents for her first Valentines Day! She just got a few small things... Some books, jammies, hair bows, etc. It's safe to say her first Valentines Day was full of love!!

Sleepy eyes! Time for bed! That is a wrap, folks!

Ky Bug Caught a Cold Bug

It has been a long few days for the Egglestons! Kyler and Mommy caught nasty colds. This means there has been lots of cuddles and cough drops. Kyler woke up with a fever on Friday and slept in laps all day. She hasn't slept like that since she was only a couple months old. Seeing her sick was heartbreaking, but the cuddles were definitely the silver lining!

We are finally feeling better. The congestion is lingering (as is my sore throat). We are going to try and venture out into the world today! Wish us luck.

22 weeks and Sleeping Through the Night!

Mama is 22 weeks pregnant and Kyler is sleeping through the night! Finally!! 

 

How far along:22

Gender: Girl!!

Weight gain: 9 lbs.

Maternity clothes: Pretty much living in yoga pants. I am wearing some of my maternity clothes now.

Stretch marks: Not yet.

Belly button in or out: Barely out.

Sleep: Now that Kyler is sleeping through the night (hoping not to jinx myself), mommy is sleeping much better. Still hard to get comfortable though.

Best moment this week: Taking Kyler to her first baby gym class!

Worst moment this week: The one night Kyler didn't sleep, and the two hours I spent up with her that night!

Miss anything: Beer, margaritas, wine, Red Bull, drinking as much coffee as I want, breathing and laying down at the same time... 

Movement: Lots of movement!!

Cravings: Cookies.

Queasy or sick: Here and there.

Looking forward to: Spring!

I think we might finally have a sleep/nap schedule that is working for Ky! It looks roughly like this...

7am- Wake -up

9am- First nap (usually lasts 1-2 hours)

Second nap comes 3-4 hours after she wakes up her first nap. This nap usually lasts 1-2 hours. 

8-9pm- bedtime

We cut her down to 2 naps a day, which I think has really helped. She still isn't the best napper, but it has gotten a bit more consistent. And as long as she sleeps through the night, I am not complaining! 

When we sleep better, we wake up happier! 

Seriously, no matter how tired I am this face brightens my day immediately! 

Now we must rest! Tomorrow is the Super Bowl! GOOOOOO BRONCOS!
