Where to start... We got her a Jumparoo last week but she didn't know what to do with it. Last Monday night, she was playing with her daddy and her legs buckled. She bounced. Then she figured it out and her eyes got big. She laughed at her daddy and started jumping. She jumped for 20 minutes. She loves it. On Tuesday, her daddy took her for a ride on the 4-wheeler on the driveway. She's just like her mommy. I loved it when me and my daddy went 4 wheelin'. I have a feeling she is going to be a daddy's girl just like I was. Now she is even tryng out her passy. She has never liked it before and I doubt she will like it much for long but I'll take what I can get. Pretty soon she will be also up to 2 servings of cereal a day. I love watching her grow up.

Kayleigh has a jumparoo that she got last weekend but hadn't figured out how it worked. She loves jumping if you are holding her which was why we got her the jumparoo. Tonight she figured it out and was so proud of herself. She just laughed and grinned from ear to ear. She jumped until she was tired out. I was so proud of her for getting it! I love watching her do something for the first time. Her little eyes just light up and her whole face gets excited. I love being a mom.

It is so hard to watch her get on all 4's and rock. I am selfishly not ready for her to get going. I want her to grow up but not too fast. She is sitting up almost by herself and trying to crawl. I want her to stay little adn she won't do it for me. I guess I should get used to it. She won't always mind me. I just love her so much. She is beautiful and sweet and so happy. I wonder what she will be like in 15 yrs. I hope she keeps her outlook. It's my favorite thing about her along with her smile.

Kayleigh has had a rough day today. It's really busy at Miss Martha's with the other 2 babies. She comes home really tired. Greg said he put her on her stomach tonight and she got up on all 4's. I'm not ready for her to be mobile. She will loose her baby status when she does. She also has started to jump when you stand her on her feet. It's amazing how much she changes every day. I'm trying to get a jumperoo for her. Eventually, our Once Upon A Chid will have a used one. It shouldn't take too long. She will love it! I look forward t oall of the nesw stages that she will grow into but I am already sad for the stages that she is growing out of. I guess my selfishness is rearing its ugly head.

So much for napping. She won't even nap on the couch today. It's like she knows that we want her to sleep by herself and she is rebellling. I'm not very good at all of this. She has been really fussy today because she won't take a nap. Not even when I tried to rock her!

Kayleigh is starting to get frustrated so fast these days. She wants to be able to use her hands the way they are supposed to be used but she isn't there yet. My first instinct is to give her what she is trying to get, but that won't teach her how to reach and grab. It's hard to let her go there, but, if I don't, she will never learn. I guess that's part of being a parent. Sometimes I think I have more to learn that she does.

Napping Challenge |

Napping has always been an issue at home. Miss Martha, Kayleigh's babysitter, says she naps by herself in the packnplay and puts herself to sleep. So today Kayleigh will start taking her naps in her crib. It will be a long few weeks. But don't worry, Aunt Whitney, she will still be sleeping with Mommy at night :) This will make it easier to get her to sleep in her crib at night when we are ready to move in that direction.

Mommy's little Piglet |

Tonight daddy had to work late so I got to feed Kayleigh. I finally found her limit. She seemed full after 4 tbsp of cereal. What a little piglet :)Guess she will have her mommy's appetite after all. Let's hope she has her Aunt Whitney's and Granddaddy's metabolism. Greg and I pray that we are doing the right thing by starting her on solids since I had such bad allergies. I guess this is where faith comes in. She is such a great baby! God has truely blessed me with a wonderful little baby and the best daddy I could have asked for her. I so hope that she will be a daddy's girl when she grows up.

We took Kayleigh to her first baptism tonight at the river. It was hot and she just wanted air conditioning. She is her father's girl! My prayer is that one day it will be her in the river professing Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. Then I can breath a little easier. I just want our kids to love Christ more than they love us.

Frustration |

She is really starting to get frustrated when she tries to chew on something. She can't get it in her mouth the right way and then she gets mad. I know I have to let her learn but it is so funny to watch her learn. She just wants to put everything in her mouth and when it doesn't work, she cries. I let her go until I see tears. I figure she's had enough by then. It's a learning process for both of us. I sure have been blessed by God!
