Look At Her Now!

Well, yesterday I was playing with Kenzie on the floor and I had a magazine. Apparently she wanted it, because the rocking back and forth on her knees turned into a frog like motion that propels her forward. It is the cutest thing. She gets up on her hands and knees, rocks back and forth, moves her left leg forward like she is going to crawl, then propels her body forward. I took a ton of video of it because I am sure it wont be long before she gets the crawling motion down. Anyway, she can now move forward at a pretty rapid pace.

On another note, I brought Kenzie to the babysitter this morning and she asked me if she was getting any teeth. I hadn’t felt her mouth since last weekend, so I felt her gums. She had little pokey bumps along the bottom gums, wow. And then about 4 o’clock Tiffany *the babysitter* called, and said that she had gotten 2 teeth! I can’t wait to go get her and check them out! All is well and she has not been cranky at all!

Kenzie now sleeps in her crib, her playpen will clash with our bedroom decor no more!

Happy Birthday to Me

Well, on Thursday morning we got a call at about 5:00, the babysitter was sick. Ok, no big deal, I will just bring Kenzie to work, I've done it before, we can deal with this. So about 4 hours into our work day, Kenzie threw up everwhere, all over me, her, the floor, etc. So, we went home. She was sick for the rest of the day and had a temp. the next day, but by Friday evening she was back to normal. Then on Saturday morning about 1, I woke up puking (yuck!). So I was sick my entire b-day. We were supposed to go to Spokane shopping and to the fair, but needless to say we never made it. We are both better now, but Waylon has a sinus infection I think, he sure is good at complaining! As for what else is new, Kenzie can sit up really well now and she is starting to learn to crawl. She gets up on her knees and rocks back and forth, its really cute. I took a little video and I am going to see if I can upload it. Stay tuned.

2 weeks in the life of the Blevins Family

Well let’s see, it seems as though there has not been a lot going on in our house lately. Since we put in the new floor, Waylon has been working 12 hour days in Moscow, so we don’t see him much, he gets home around 8:30, when Kenzie is already in bed and then leaves again about 5:45, right before she gets up. He has been elk hunting on the weekends, with no luck yet, but hopefully he will get something soon. Kenzie and I went camping with my mom and dad on Labor Day, we did not do much, but it was a good relaxing time. I had to keep driving into Three Rivers so check the status of Christel’s labor; she finally had her little girl on the 30th, around 8 at night. I went to visit her last week and she looks really good. She is lucky that Richie takes so much on and helps her out as much as he does, although I am sure that she will handle it great when he gets back to work. Kenzie has been eating applesauce and oatmeal for the past few days, she really likes her fruit, including bananas and peaches. However, I tried some peas with her the other day, definitely not her favorite thing, I think it may be in the genes, as neither my mom or I like peas all that much either. She has also been sitting up really well the past few days. Last week she could sit up for a few seconds and already she is going for over a minute before she falls over. Usually the reason for this tippage is that she is reaching for something as she does not enjoy just sitting there doing nothing. Yesterday, I gave her a bath in the tub instead of the sink tub like we have been and she sat up almost the whole time, and kept grabbing for the drain cover. Not much else happening with us. We are headed to Spokane this weekend for some shopping and to the fair, it should be fun. Also, I am starting to get a little older as I turn 23 on Saturday. I realize that 23 is not anywhere near old, but is still seems weird to me, as just the other day I swear I was only 18 and 23 was a long way away. I guess that goes to show you just how fast time flies!
