YUM!! it was a very good lunch, thanks mom! all in all our first labor day was a relaxing, sweet, fun day with loved ones...the best way to spend a holiday.</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">Labor Day Pics:</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNCPDIVsIZ69QLIeCn2jw_tmBw1g6ChuDuFB9Rx0y48495jnI-m5DiOOSEGgEGXEQ7NUvZT7904jIfPSA6F8lWi2i-MCxYmjwCefdk6g0PLiGlJQNrXNiyMp6kyA0PUwAgppcI_kWVqwFO/s1600/DSCI2332.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649454364284768386" style="DISPLAY: block;

<br />
<br />her milestones and likes:
<br />-getting up on her hands and knees to crawl, no movements yet!
<br />-size 3 diapers
<br />-3-6 or 6 month clothing; 2 shoe
<br />-drooling EXCESSIVELY
<br />-LOVES other children
<br />-loves demmy and other dogs
<br />-scares easily-she has become so aware of her surroundings that new sounds scare her more easily (her biggest fears: running the bath water, vaccuum, garbage disposal)
<br />-some momma separation anxiety- if she can't see me she gets upset; if she wakes up and doesnt see me, she freaks out, terrified!
<br />-eats 1 jar of veggies at lunch, and 1 jar of fruit at nite, cereal at nite
<br />-takes about 31 oz formula/day; or five 5-7 oz. bottles/day
<br />-flips around like an acrobat in her crib
<br />-puts her paci in her mouth, usually upside down!
<br />-loves to read, look at, and eat books

monthskastyn turned 5 months on the last day of june. i continue to be amazed everyday by what she is learning and doing. her personality is blooming, and i must say, she is quite a firecracker! this is good/cute/funny at times, and other times, i have prayed for her not to get my temper because i can testify, it is not something that is fun to deal with on a daily basis. i have struggled in this category since i can remember, and what i cant remember, my amazing parents who got to deal with it can testify! it's not just hard for a parent to deal with, but it's hard to feel your anger get ahold of you before you can even tell yourself that it's not worth boiling over. anywho, we will see where God takes us with this. and we will continue praying!<br />kastyn is so funny. as i am typing this, she is in her saucer (that she loves) talking and spitting all over the place. her voice and noises are adorable and her spitting is hilarious because whoever is holding her at the time she decides to perform this talent, she blesses them in a complete shower of spit-drops. she doesnt actually giggle quite yet, but when is happy and excited, she pants loudly and screams/squeals even louder. this means even if we are in church, praying, weddings, and walking down aisles in stores. she definitely draws attention wherever we go! only God can take credit for her indescribable cuteness and funny personality! well, i guess on the cuteness area, marc can take quite a bit of credit, since she's a spitting image of daddy! haha! mom and i did figure out that she for sure has our cheeks and mouth. mom found a pic of her a toddler and her mouth looks just like kas! woohoo! we can claim a bit of this credit now!!<br />here is the list of kastyn facts, i gotta make it quick, she's tired of being in the saucer!!<br /><br />~size 1 diapers, she will easily be in a 2 once we are thru with this box of 1's<br />~size 3-6 month clothes, 3 is perfect in onesies, 6 months is a little baggy<br />~size 1 shoe<br />~we guess her weight around 14 lbs. i will put the for sure weight after her 6 month appt.<br />~length around 23-24 inches we are guessing??<br />~her hair is still short but growing and getting thicker<br />~she has sat in her highchair and had cereal 3 times<br />~she LOVES fruit! she has had mango, watermelon, strawberry, cantaloupe, pineapple. she sucks them dry when we put a piece in her little net fruit holder.<br />~ she can roll over, but when im in the room with her, she won't very often. once i leave to go to the bathroom and come back, she's always on her back!<br />~she's very close to sitting up on her own<br />~she still loves to be outside. the world is well when she is outside.<br />~i still think her favorite person is grandaddy. she loves all of us, but he can get the quickest light up and smile from her<br />~she loves to watch demmy and fritz. they make her very happy!<br />~she drinks 6-8 oz per feeding<br />~she likes to drink water from someones cup<br />~she loves loves swimming<br />~she loves music, she gets upset until i turn in up in the car<br />~she reaches for everything and holds things with both hands<br />~she can put things to her mouth and take her paci out of her mouth(cant quite get it back in just yet)<br />~she loves to give big wet kisses. she holds both sides of my face and pulls it to her mouth<br />~she doesnt wake up crying, she lays in her bed and talks for about 15 mins before calling us in there<br />~she still doesnt take long naps. we get about 3 or 4 thirty min naps a day.<br />~she sleeps 9-12 hrs each nite!Ashtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14464743863537143534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249846077642600265.post-8363961452269774152011-07-04T12:39:00.000-07:002011-07-04T13:04:50.236-07:00girls just wanna have funkastyn and i had our first girls' playdate! it was with marie and remi, and trisha and carly. it was so fun to watch how similar yet different each baby girl is and it was interesting to compare and see different developments in each sister. example, kas holds her upper torso up off the ground completely in the mini push-up position, yet she wont roll over except of special occasion. however, carly wouldnt hold herself up but can easily roll over. not only can she roll over, but she can roll from back to front which is not the typical direction young ones learn first! they usually go from front to back first. carly and kastyn are 5 days apart. kas was 4 days early and carly was born the day after kastyn's due date. what good timing! lets not forget about miss remi, she was there too!! she is 9 weeks behind the girls, but she is doing quite well herself, smiling and talking! i loved every minute of it!! these playdates are gonna be a blast!!<br /><br

months big<div align="center">Kastyn turned 4 months on may 31st. its so crazy how fast time is moving! i say that all the time, but it is SO true. kas is alot of fun right now, as usual. she is funny and she knows she is funny because she gives big grins all day long. she is really good at talking to objects and things, but when a human walks up to her, she goes very stoic. i can get smiles, but she really does play a good serious role! she loves to walk through stores and chew on my shoulder while squealing at a pretty good volume. she has the CUtest little girly voice! she is very dainty. she cracks me up and i am constantly in smiles with this girl. we had her 4 month check up last wednesday and daddy got to go this time. i love getting her measurements, but i hate the shot part. i know we are getting them for her protection, but the cry she lets out is one of a kind, and it is horrible. i now truly understand how all those parents felt when i gave their children shots a few years ago at the childrens clinic..im sorry people!! i run in and save her and smother her with kisses and 'im sorry's'. its a sad time for momma. daddy did fine, as long as he doesnt see any needles, or he'll be on the floor, passed out. lol. i kept her on a strict tylenol schedule this time and it worked wonders. she was wanting to be held the rest of the day but wasnt acting like she was hurting like last time. she slept really good that night, and we scooted up bedtime 1.5 ours early, by kastyn's choice. overall, a much better experience than the 2 month vaccines. so here is my list of kastyn facts:</div><br /><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center">*weight: 12.13 lbs (26%); height: 22.8 in (5%-such a cute shorty!)</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*eating 5 oz every 3 hours</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*sleeps 9-10 hours at nite</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*size 1 diapers</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*size 3 month clothes</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*loves standing</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*talks and squeals and yells excitedly at wall art/wall photos</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*holds her stuffed frog and ariel doll with both hands</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*trying to hold her bottle with both hands</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*enjoys her jenny jump up </div><br /><br /><div align="center">*sleeps on her side/swaddling from under her arms down at nite</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*knows her bedtime schedule and lets you know if you are running behind</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*nurses 2 times/day</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*has rolled from tummy to back 6-7 times, but has stopped trying in the last 2 weeks. :(</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*loves to watch and talk to demmy, so cute</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*smacks her mouth and watches the food when i hold her while i eat(cereal here we come soon!)</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*i dipped my finger into a bit of fresh banana and put it on her tongue. she made a funny face. i let her suck on a piece of a prune(as i held it) and she loved it!</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*she LOVES to be outside.</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*she liked her 1st encounter with the swimming pool! (post to follow later)</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*she loves men and children (grandaddy is her favorite, he gets smiles and excitement when we have to fight for it!)</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*she is quite spoiled. she loves to be held, ALL day long. we alternate different distractions of sitting and playing by herself or sitting by one of us in her chair, but it is for a short period of time! we are working on this daily. but she is really fun to hold! haha.</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*the doctor says she is old enough to start letting her cry some when she lays down to go to sleep. this child will cry for 45 mins plus, and stay going strong! we have only allowed it for this long 2 times, and i am not comfortable with this long of a time at this young age. we will increase the time periods as we feel is appropriate for her age.</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*tied to previous statement, i have never seen such a strong willed infant at such a young age!</div><br /><br /><div align="center">*she doesnt nap during the day, which is why im guessing she sleeps so well at nite! we are lucky to get a few 30 minute naps in, with the occasional 1 hour(few and far between!)</div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center">here are kastyn's pics from her 4th month of life:</div><br /><br /><div align="center"><br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQZmzVr-ytPwe54w3nSHx2h4nckKM_zHvgTkf4NoJL5SzJ1EOhORX5tL1KceEIRJU0iMZ_C8QJPgzUmmOKkkuQewuHgSN-Gyijg22-eA5BRoAPqLhexry-lCTR9ZY2ChzBUQxBVMUTnRiU/s1600/DSCI2096.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

(we attempted potatoes, but it didnt work out) :) he also has planted a grape vine, roses, and multi colored flowers. all of this is in the back yard. in the front he has planted different plants lining the front of our house and a mini japanese maple. we are very excited to see how it all comes out!! i didnt help with the planting, but i cant wait to go pick some fresh veggies to cook with this summer. and i DID help weed some areas this week. so i have contributed a tad-bit. haha.<br /></div><br /><div>Kastyn loves to get in my maya wrap and look outwards. she looks around until she falls asleep. it's precious. she loves to be outside!

i think she hated it because she got cold when she couldn't yet be submerged into the warm water and had to hang in the hammock part. now she perks her head up when she hears me start the bath water and turn on the heat lite. she talks and grins the entire bath. when i pour water over her head to rinse, she catches her breath and then starts talking happily. i love bath time. its so cute to see her enjoy it! after her bath, we dry off in one of her cute towels(bunny,duck,and pink polka dot). she gets a good rub down with vaseline and baby lotion, dressed into her pjs and get ready for snuggle time! a clean baby smells so sweet. our bedtime routine is definentaly one of our favorite times of the day. daddy and i take turns on the bedtime bottle and rocking to sleep(when she doesnt fight it). she is so indescribably amazing. i love every minute of her. thank you, Lord, for such a perfect blessing.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirZ9c_ETjWAiGgjWYjuIssFYHGSTF230nx0EBkxjeIUs3GLKTQ76c-DbYjt_A-6vrwqQ89KtFvLemDo75DeEAXOXNU61tI85CVGxYdnN04wzchS2nWfF5OgGv4sAWKqHfRZDcAjtW8OYLE/s1600/DSCI1802.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603696730561082178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirZ9c_ETjWAiGgjWYjuIssFYHGSTF230nx0EBkxjeIUs3GLKTQ76c-DbYjt_A-6vrwqQ89KtFvLemDo75DeEAXOXNU61tI85CVGxYdnN04wzchS2nWfF5OgGv4sAWKqHfRZDcAjtW8OYLE/s400/DSCI1802.JPG" /></a> Kastyn's 1st bottle (snuggle time)<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Q1FpN9YsdZPU7O7CT9YOpwYArTyDd9oYIbhJ1WhRvYSDtEiqdLEFeHtpi3epBk0WaGHUmHo0Cp86G3HTlbUiZGGYQHKhYGj9R9b6f2UBs9zjFnXhf_l9OPZ8tfRsinOJRh94WhGBbZRb/s1600/051.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603696725497818690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Q1FpN9YsdZPU7O7CT9YOpwYArTyDd9oYIbhJ1WhRvYSDtEiqdLEFeHtpi3epBk0WaGHUmHo0Cp86G3HTlbUiZGGYQHKhYGj9R9b6f2UBs9zjFnXhf_l9OPZ8tfRsinOJRh94WhGBbZRb/s400/051.JPG" /></a>in her duck towel!

Kastyn is really learning people so its fun to see her light up with big grins and start jabbering to them when she sees them. i dont know where we'd be without mom and dad! our parents set a great example of how we should raise our family in Christ. we pray for Kastyn's salvation to come at an early age, so that she can experience as much of the Jesus as possible. i want her to feel comfortable with coming to us with any questions she will have, and we want to have the appropriate answers for her. we need and want God to be the center of our family and im excited to see how we grow together in Him. it's comforting to know that He will be with us through every trial and every joy. </div><br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div>growing up we had all that we needed and more; spiritually, emotionally, and physically. i pray that i can provide this same love for kastyn. i want her to grow up and look at marc and i the same way we do our parents. we are trying to follow in their footsteps, and they have big shoes to fill!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheO6C4u1ZR2PruGZfPmp-iUTpILZr3uhdcODc0p0yPcjd0NCdE9tG5fEAfDH_48gsw-Yv7056ZoZZJuGe3TN6FWLANdfrz7bfZE1ReKm70JxyDfimTGSJtDHJ7_Uv-O6XSQC7Tsj6jNeE-/s1600/DSCI1785.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602497238069646882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheO6C4u1ZR2PruGZfPmp-iUTpILZr3uhdcODc0p0yPcjd0NCdE9tG5fEAfDH_48gsw-Yv7056ZoZZJuGe3TN6FWLANdfrz7bfZE1ReKm70JxyDfimTGSJtDHJ7_Uv-O6XSQC7Tsj6jNeE-/s400/DSCI1785.JPG" /></a><br /></div></div></div><br /><div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9eW0x7jU-26EVhoZTdYwm-eJGGEEh1hY3qceg8qaNzAVsyKXvIfymwLWWpKglvY25E1haHbGieZWAS-hPry_PM5hZFHBVIYJWeXq_nSblW6uybjTDTsCPKkV2XQCAngstKIipC0DxUB7z/s1600/DSCI1795.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602497230586753058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9eW0x7jU-26EVhoZTdYwm-eJGGEEh1hY3qceg8qaNzAVsyKXvIfymwLWWpKglvY25E1haHbGieZWAS-hPry_PM5hZFHBVIYJWeXq_nSblW6uybjTDTsCPKkV2XQCAngstKIipC0DxUB7z/s400/DSCI1795.JPG" /></a> silly grandaddy!!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijGXvUtBAvc1j_8m7piKA8p5MWkM1R_F3IXsWs09t6vMN7wtI1XNlBTgNVywaxdduIpUJDsac1ahBk3YBgfKx46UBYU9soMycCDWqoJGz1z58SME_GBzwQL2k52v7PvIMrcv_BKU2pHXoJ/s1600/DSCI1833.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602497230005457058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijGXvUtBAvc1j_8m7piKA8p5MWkM1R_F3IXsWs09t6vMN7wtI1XNlBTgNVywaxdduIpUJDsac1ahBk3YBgfKx46UBYU9soMycCDWqoJGz1z58SME_GBzwQL2k52v7PvIMrcv_BKU2pHXoJ/s400/DSCI1833.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj813POoNyN2dcBwylTRX9GSGIh9WFs5bFBJKT4wGZ2b3KGvl9WzeuNc55ryKqkZwVcRnBjYvypvDqxO9G4BJxYvGzEU1hA2gNQdV4e6CpcXX_MdtZSrKKRIpnizGjm7K4SKVDP8mm_4j9r/s1600/DSCI1782.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602497223041822498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj813POoNyN2dcBwylTRX9GSGIh9WFs5bFBJKT4wGZ2b3KGvl9WzeuNc55ryKqkZwVcRnBjYvypvDqxO9G4BJxYvGzEU1hA2gNQdV4e6CpcXX_MdtZSrKKRIpnizGjm7K4SKVDP8mm_4j9r/s400/DSCI1782.JPG" /></a></div></div></div></div></div>Ashtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14464743863537143534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249846077642600265.post-68665758668037525112011-04-27T08:45:00.000-07:002011-04-27T09:17:17.453-07:003 months<div align="center">Kastyn turns 3 months this saturday! it's going too fast, and i cant figure out how to slow her down!! i love the time we are in, as ive said before. but its kinda sad that it goes so fast bc next thing we know, we'll have a toddler/teenager(scary). we are working on tummy time, now that i found the tummy time mat from the rhea lana sale. i love it. and she is propped up on her chest a little so she can look around and not stare straight down at the ground. i set a few of her friends in front of her and she smiles and talks to them for a few minutes until shes over her tummy time. then we get up. K is wearing 0-3 month clothes. she can actually still wear some newborn stuff, too. the only 3 month stuff that fits is carters because they make their clothes more narrow. mom said she still looks 'twiggy'. thanks mom. lol. i guess she is pretty skinny still, but she's getting little rolls on her thighs. it's cute. her belly pokes out too. so we're working on fattening her up! im also trying to get her attached to her 'snugglies' that we got at her shower. they are so soft and i drape it beside her head at naptime. it's so sweet!</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left">here are some things about Kastyn at 3 months:</div><br /><br /><div align="left">~she likes to sit in her swing and sometimes sleep in it unless she fights her nap</div><br /><div align="left">~she likes her paci, but spits it out so she doesnt go to sleep, then cries b/c she doesnt have it! lol</div><br /><div align="left">~she's bearing weight on her legs. she loves to kick and stand herself up when we hold her on our chest. shes gonna be a soccer player!!(daddys dream)</div><br /><div align="left">~she has multiple bff's.

so she screams louder. we try laying her in her bed and checking in every 5 minutes until we think she may be sleepy enough to rock to sleep. she can cry for 45 mins plus if we would let her. but we wont. we try the swing, which she LOVED for 2 weeks until last week, now she screams in it. she screams in my or marcs arms. she screams in her chair. she can go all day on two 30 minute naps. but she is TIRED. it goes okay until afternoon. then she pretty much can scream on/off until evening. mom has come over and she falls to sleep for her and sleeps for 2 hours!! she's done this twice. i dont know what it is, but she's not hurting and she's not hungry. we even supplement 2-3 oz of formula after each nursing to ensure this. so we are rotating holding her and putting her down for short periods until she decides, in her OWN time, to give it up and rest.hmm..i may see some of her mommy's strong will and desire to be in control already. uh-oh!!*wince*<br /><br /></div><br /><div align="center"></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600094279563123090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvNIJJM7R9XpGKIQnN8KjEl99MWc4_inoUqx2SpPh77_tv_AMRXANjFsiKq3sbZhneRaTgKNUwXjPB8tjc9DmIZitR3J6X9Fa3HEgQJIukw88C5n2mFmsQE7llpkpbco5UhGfi_vICu9qS/s400/DSCI1892.JPG" /> <br /><p align="center">here is our angel sleeping, before her lovely non-sleep phase began...<br />praising Jesus in her sleep.<br /><br /><br /><br /></p><br /><p></p>Ashtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14464743863537143534noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249846077642600265.post-15420942646211611762011-04-20T14:39:00.000-07:002011-04-20T15:24:05.305-07:00Aunt Korri<div align="center"><br /><br />Aunt Korri is amazing. period. she loves Kas so much and she shows her love for us all the time. she is the most giving person i know. i LITERally don't see korri without her having a "gift" for one of us. most of K's outfits are from her. she makes all of her precious bows. and K loves her back. Korri gives her own time to come and help me anytime i need it, whether i need a shower, a nap, a conversation, trips to wal-mart, and alot of just fun hangtime together. she sorted ALL of my gifts from my shower so i wouldn't be overwhelmed. she came to our house and never left my side until Kastyn was here and safe. she has probably changed as many diapers as i have. well, she's right behind me anyway. :) you name it, she's been there. i truly can't name everything i would like to give her thanx and love for.<br /><br /><br /><br />we are very blessed to have someone so special in our life. WE LOVE YOU AUNT KORRI!!!<br /></div><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBXVB6_zU3GGTViFiZiCucNl53UjQPRSo0FnFZ46h5kEWChTowsj0B_lkKHyEMHbXDdOFP13UAqN7KkUJU5Ktx0ptnqaC7TZKYUrzuXmUxrAfFMd4r-YPfk9fDmhISgBmXHRzlzUjA1713/s1600/korrihospital.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597787566248051266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBXVB6_zU3GGTViFiZiCucNl53UjQPRSo0FnFZ46h5kEWChTowsj0B_lkKHyEMHbXDdOFP13UAqN7KkUJU5Ktx0ptnqaC7TZKYUrzuXmUxrAfFMd4r-YPfk9fDmhISgBmXHRzlzUjA1713/s400/korrihospital.jpg" /></a>at the hospital</p><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFL-HU0UFQ4WU8op0hAKE0-kiUDTHKj20OuTqf9xAZ_bY8Au0bvNQ9YRZa66xUUVv5TAmmXWTCdRmKyZ_R0_Oj8ko6l_0u-GXbpdbtTaz6hzw4Mc4Bxx8Q6JzUOy5OPVtKAT7qZpJwui3e/s1600/korrime.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597789113220367794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFL-HU0UFQ4WU8op0hAKE0-kiUDTHKj20OuTqf9xAZ_bY8Au0bvNQ9YRZa66xUUVv5TAmmXWTCdRmKyZ_R0_Oj8ko6l_0u-GXbpdbtTaz6hzw4Mc4Bxx8Q6JzUOy5OPVtKAT7qZpJwui3e/s400/korrime.bmp" /></a> just us :)<br /></p><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8eCxBju13M9T1dpOEmyLNix2zz40f61wJWAbEVyQ5dwConUGkWP5yKj-3IAYCBblL5STKCzYUPj53AwsuYjK2Bb1S4DYOA1cpfZQgNNfKqEUgKBVkY_RvkqDFsRef7YT8nAIw3LCqsMGH/s1600/DSCI1915.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597789114797754034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8eCxBju13M9T1dpOEmyLNix2zz40f61wJWAbEVyQ5dwConUGkWP5yKj-3IAYCBblL5STKCzYUPj53AwsuYjK2Bb1S4DYOA1cpfZQgNNfKqEUgKBVkY_RvkqDFsRef7YT8nAIw3LCqsMGH/s400/DSCI1915.JPG" /></a> 04 20 11<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGVHNnDO5OkRnjeO-pALrdTb4dTIph6pWJoBMHZ0wZFNtqt2DCmkS_wCrqHxp0IwD_POZVYM9C2n07zlv1a_hEp1qaUsHYv87GqSdVzx2A1xPqQnWm-0znVq0aGjzFPOWKkQrhLa3p4-yL/s1600/DSCI1913.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597789106032242706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGVHNnDO5OkRnjeO-pALrdTb4dTIph6pWJoBMHZ0wZFNtqt2DCmkS_wCrqHxp0IwD_POZVYM9C2n07zlv1a_hEp1qaUsHYv87GqSdVzx2A1xPqQnWm-0znVq0aGjzFPOWKkQrhLa3p4-yL/s400/DSCI1913.JPG" /></a>04 20 11<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjZ86Tu5YTetOBQiDTqX-ED6et-vw36ShTYn_QnDWlwuiAuuKzcnKq2BIGx1RLDQeDwmtcFk0i4zOwsOW673jLA-FxnRrhsHF62_l1cLdVpq9b-jD7hR9fYSaxDZ4DlK-WxwWV0DqPwgdY/s1600/korri+and+k.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597789099742131090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjZ86Tu5YTetOBQiDTqX-ED6et-vw36ShTYn_QnDWlwuiAuuKzcnKq2BIGx1RLDQeDwmtcFk0i4zOwsOW673jLA-FxnRrhsHF62_l1cLdVpq9b-jD7hR9fYSaxDZ4DlK-WxwWV0DqPwgdY/s400/korri+and+k.jpg" /></a> 'my auntie is awesome' onesie<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcHZgMl7YVkOXuUBYZB__Gd5EykJ9ltWSWCpB04FsFv8b-OAgBI6f4vmt4Py6s6NwOioxrIUJiiiK0JXCFX9b0kjbiCrJ0L2TLHHbGq95opsMatUqKuajD7h5ojwSpfS3j0tdTd8AThvTR/s1600/korri.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597789103336010610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcHZgMl7YVkOXuUBYZB__Gd5EykJ9ltWSWCpB04FsFv8b-OAgBI6f4vmt4Py6s6NwOioxrIUJiiiK0JXCFX9b0kjbiCrJ0L2TLHHbGq95opsMatUqKuajD7h5ojwSpfS3j0tdTd8AThvTR/s400/korri.jpg" /></a>wardrobe by auntie korri </div><br /></div>Ashtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14464743863537143534noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249846077642600265.post-73724839309280358482011-04-18T13:43:00.000-07:002011-04-19T14:01:42.636-07:0011 weeks<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRSTSm-y9rvytHpcwqnfB44hHB6Kg8PEMTaeIMUIRMVom1JobqWhGEZ66zg9vfalVBeNiOTLgAUOEPkSFmFvL92Nsdy4K9ux0rLCQ6dFyJjVyfTr6CI5caDoeo7I1xlQZQZEJyM-ovkd70/s1600/IMG00564-20110419-1012.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><div>how time flies! i cant believe Kastyn will be 3 months next monday. oh my grief. i knew it would go by quickly, but not this quickly! we are in such a fun time right now. i can see K working on a new development everyday now it seems. she is so alert, its alot of fun to try and break her serious facade(i have NO idea where she gets this seriousness, neither marc nor i are serious people). just goes to show how much of their own person a baby is from the start! she is what i am choosing to call "selective". lol. when i lay her on her changing table, she is quick to give out huge grins and excited squeals, to me and her friend who i have yet to think of a name for.(a 'snuggly' with a little doll attached to the top who K LOVES.) however, once we are out and about, she is hard to get to smile at anyone! if you've seen her pics on FB, you can see how few smiles i get once i pull out a camera. hopefully this will change soon and she will give out free smiles to all! i have many pictures to take and i would like to capture some of the joy that i get to see at home. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>one of our favorite things to do are go and visit Grandmother. K lights up with grins as soon as she is in her arms. its super sweet. she'll talk to her too. it's a beautiful thing to see 2 people so special to me bond. i will always have these sweet memories to think about. we also obviously love visiting Grandi and Grandad(my dad finally chose to be called Grandad instead of Dadoo. he will always be Dadoo to Jerry though). i knew mom would be all over K from the start, but it's really sweet for me to see how my dad lights up when he sees his granddaughter. ive never seen him really reach out and want to hold babies, the typical man thing to do, but he talks to her and i ask him if he wants her, he immediately says yes. i love it! she smiles for mom alot, but this week she started smiling at dad too, and he's been working on it for a while! i pray that K's other Gran and Grandpa will be here eventually and will also get to enjoy these special times with her. it would be amazing to have both grandparents around K her whole life!! we are praying about this matter. :) </div><div>Kastyn is squeaking in her swing, waking herself up(surprise surprise!) haha. so i am logging off for today!</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRSTSm-y9rvytHpcwqnfB44hHB6Kg8PEMTaeIMUIRMVom1JobqWhGEZ66zg9vfalVBeNiOTLgAUOEPkSFmFvL92Nsdy4K9ux0rLCQ6dFyJjVyfTr6CI5caDoeo7I1xlQZQZEJyM-ovkd70/s400/IMG00564-20110419-1012.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597402404776498738" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;">taken 04 19 11</span></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /></div>Ashtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14464743863537143534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249846077642600265.post-63371265444861893762011-04-15T20:23:00.001-07:002011-04-19T13:52:44.842-07:00flashback<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXsnzZ0trTzqlsCtuE7gO7-mzGENhNqY8jv4DNZly0bh9jnqEcRCsV3AhyphenhyphenuaHHTXdwO6Z_giKdeg54GITzilhQbZmNhL7MOy8BRhcoUK-K8b6QhaTfUw6u7WcXW76_tTHx46KGM6PFRAR9/s1600/DSCI1874.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJxSni_z0aBxfD_xBsfXN1ESTIFytkNQ-v5au6GHWJ4FsbNqzljVGFAkHu7QtqtygrNhkCGhx1x2mEt5nuurU8i2Ho7Aqf4trX6w0dFyTNQpLOHY4Nlfiw_HQcc-BH4tWHdz9VqP8cdPkp/s1600/DSCI1864.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><div>im writing a little late about K's 2 month appt. it started out well. she is gaining weight and growing great! she weighed 9.06 and was 21" long, head circ. 14.96"-crazy!! born 6.0 and 18", head 12.8" seemed so small, now she is huge in our eyes! everyone we see says, "oh what a tiny baby!!" and i say everytime, "i know but she's so big to us!" haha. different perspectives i guess. they didnt see the TINY baby that came out. when im nursing K i look at her and she takes up so much more room, her head looks huge compared to the beginning, she stretches across my lap...ok, back to the appt.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>so her weight is 14% and her length is 5%. i dont really keep track of her head % but it's growing appropriately. she does have reflux, which she takes zantac for 2 x a day. she also has a hiatal hernia and a blocked tear duct, but neither of these are a problem and they should correct themselves over time. i do put some eye ointment on her left eye to help with the drainage, but it is improving as of this point. she has pretty sensitive skin but it's only on her face as of now. she may have a little exzema but i will continue to watch it. she is developing well, sleeping well and has pretty much learned her nights and days. she nurses every 3 hours or so during the day and she drinks a 3-4oz bottle of breast milk every night between 8-9pm and we put 2 tbsp. of rice cereal in it. she downs it and then sleep from 5-8 hours straight! she'll wake up, eat, and go back to sleep for 3-5 hours. i definentaly cannot complain about that schedule. we do tummy time but not consistenly and she's not a big fan at all. she loves to lie on her back and talk to Polka, but her belly is a different story. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>the nurse came in and gave K her shots after Dr. Scherer left. i have given hundreds of children and infants their vaccines and never felt the pain that i did for my baby. i felt for them, but i literally could not WATCH the nurse give them to K. her scream was mortifying and i was relieved when i could pick her up and comfort her. she was fine for the next few hours until we got home. K nursed and when i went to lay her down, she screamed. so i picked her up and held her and anytime she moved her left leg at all, she screamed...loud. i looked at her legs to make sure it looked ok. it was red and warm, but nothing abnormal for vaccines. i called mom and she left work to bring us some tylenol right away. it was awful. it took a couple of hours to calm her constant screaming. finally, the medicine kicked in and she was able to rest. the rest of the night was better, but i could tell she wasnt feeling great in her legs. no fever, thank goodness. the next day i was extra gentle with her legs, but she was fine and kicking again by then. im praying her 4 month shots arent as intense.</div><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXsnzZ0trTzqlsCtuE7gO7-mzGENhNqY8jv4DNZly0bh9jnqEcRCsV3AhyphenhyphenuaHHTXdwO6Z_giKdeg54GITzilhQbZmNhL7MOy8BRhcoUK-K8b6QhaTfUw6u7WcXW76_tTHx46KGM6PFRAR9/s1600/DSCI1874.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXsnzZ0trTzqlsCtuE7gO7-mzGENhNqY8jv4DNZly0bh9jnqEcRCsV3AhyphenhyphenuaHHTXdwO6Z_giKdeg54GITzilhQbZmNhL7MOy8BRhcoUK-K8b6QhaTfUw6u7WcXW76_tTHx46KGM6PFRAR9/s400/DSCI1874.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597399200815989986" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;">snoozin on momma :)</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKGoe2qX6b6XoJANWLSZxOe6wX33JaXTv_s8ph6k9kq4DpYtoDjn6XAtshHws1VOA5QEW3BnGX97vz5JOiDxu518yo21m6jyhwQo3uo7CqwV4-EWRFSW0ATDVzwgFwNIad1BruExz5lyp1/s1600/DSCI1873.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKGoe2qX6b6XoJANWLSZxOe6wX33JaXTv_s8ph6k9kq4DpYtoDjn6XAtshHws1VOA5QEW3BnGX97vz5JOiDxu518yo21m6jyhwQo3uo7CqwV4-EWRFSW0ATDVzwgFwNIad1BruExz5lyp1/s400/DSCI1873.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597399193495255826" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;">this is our angry face!
