Playing Catch Up

So I realize that my dedication to this blog has dwindled in the past few months and I plan to remedy that sometime in the near future.  I think tonight would be a good place to start and I will update you all on the going ons of the Blevins' household, but you will have to wait a little longer for pictures as I do not have the patience to deal with my 10 year old computer and the speed of the upload. 

As for us,  Kenzie's babysitter had her baby two weeks ago, and the week before that her husband had emergency gal bladder surgery, so we have been babysitter-less for the past three weeks,  however thanks to my mom, grandma, great friends, and a flexible work schedule Kenzie was never left unsupervised.. :)  She will be going back to daycare tomorrow.  I think she really misses it as around here there are no other little ones to play with and she seems to enjoy that interaction. We are starting her on regular milk now as well as working on getting her mostly on table food and off of baby food.  She cracks my up everyday with the stuff that she does.  Lately she has been drinking water and she will pile a whole bunch in her mouth and then let it all run down her chin and laugh, she thinks its great.  Thursday when I was home with her she was kinda being a turd and I was putting dishes away from the dishwasher, I turned around and she had crawled inside of it, craked me up.  Later, she brought me a book and hit me on the leg with it until I sat down and read it to her (10 times, its only a 6 page book).  Wow, she is growing up so fast.  

I was able to get about 10 scrapbook pages done this week, so that made me pretty happy as usually I do not get time to do them except at scrapbook camps.  I am caught up to the beginning of February now, so I think I will be able to take a ton of pictures at Kenzie's birthday party on the 14th of March.  I really cannot believe that she will be a year old in 16 short days.  

On Thursday I will be flying to Atlanta for 4 days for work, I am pretty excited because I have never been there, but nervous because it will be the first time that I have left Kenzie and acutally went out of town, usually if my mom takes her Waylon and I just stay home. 

Waylon is now back to work, and I don't honestly think he is too excited about it.  After spending all those days with Kenzie he really bonded with her and if he could be a stay at home dad I think he would now, seriously.  

Well that's all for us now, more to come. 

A Day In The Life

Today is Wednesday, and it is my day off, usually.  It seems as though lately I work most Wednesdays.  Anyway, today I was home most all day (except for the 2 hours I went to work), and Kenzie and I took a bunch of pictures.  We were playing with her kitchen, reading books, looking through the changing table, shopping with the shopping cart, doing some laundry, playing with my purse, all within about 30 minutes.  Then, after a much needed nap we went to the park. 

The New Thing

So I am sure if I can explain this, but Kenzie does this thing now where she moves her lips and spits, kinda like a horse when it sighs, don't know if that makes sense but it is so cute!  Now though since we always laugh after she does it, she will walk around and make the sound (with spit flying) and then laugh, 'cause thats what we do!  Here is a picture to maybe explain better.

Dress Up

We went out to dinner on Sunday night with my mom, aunt, and grandma for my grandma's 81st birthday.  I wanted to put Kenzie in something cute, so I got out one of the outfits we received at her baby shower.  I thought she looked adorable, but Waylon and Kenzie weren't so sure.  She was playing with a rice krispie treat, it was the only thing that would keep her happy.  (see the picture where she isn't holding it?)

If you give Waylon some cookie mix....

One of the people I work with gave me a cookie mix bag for Christmas.  It had everything in it that you need to make chocolate chip cookies except the butter, vanilla, and eggs.  It had been sitting on our counter and one night Waylon decided that he wanted some chocolate chip cookie dough. (We had chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream in the freezer, but that would not cut it).  Waylon has never made cookies in his life, but I was not in the mood to make it, so it was all up to him.  The directions said to mix together the butter and sugar, however he never softened the butter so he ended up with large sugar-coated butter chuncks.  He then added the remaining ingredients but instead of mixing it by hand, he felt the need to use the mixer.  We ended up chocolate chips all over the kitchen floor.  I never tried his cookie dough, but he sure was proud of himself.
