Precious Baby

Thank You Dear Lord for my wonderful baby girl! I am so blessed to be her mother. She is a true miracle and blessing!

Reading

One of my favorite activities to do with Kaylynn is reading books! I love to read her stories and she loves to listen to them! This is a photo of me reading a story about Yoko the Cat who brings sushi for her school lunch. All the other animals tease her about eating raw fish. I love this story because it teaches geography, sociology, and psychology in a fun story format that is interesting to children! I enjoy reading this story to Kaylynn because it introduces other cultures and different kinds of food! I can't wait to travel with her someday and show her the world!

Laughter

Kaylynn has been such a giggle box lately! She loves to laugh out loud for long periods of time! These are just a few silly photos of her crazy laughter.

Hurrah! Spring is Here!

Kaylynn and I got to enjoy another peaceful walk and the nice spring weather! WoW! The sunshine can sure brighten up my day! It sure is amazing how vitamin D from the sun can increase one's energy level! There is nothing like spring weather after a long and dreary winter!

Tuesday Toot

My Tuesday Toot: I finally found time to color my gray hair! Yes, I am thirty years old and I have gray hair! It sure is difficult to find an extra ten minutes during the day to color my roots! Working a full time job and taking online classes keeps me very busy. Plus I love to spend incessantly large amounts of time with my daughter. She is so precious and my number one priority! I treasure every moment with her!

Baby Kaylynn

My precious baby will be five months on March 27th! She is growing up way too fast! Enjoy this adorable clip of my precious baby girl!

Silly Baby

Taking pictures of babies can be quite difficult!

I was trying to take the perfect picture of a happy

baby in a swing, but I couldn't quite capture her

perfect smile and good mood! So here are pictures

of my silly baby girl!

Kaylynn's New Toy

Kaylynn enjoys looking at the fishes in her new toy fish tank. She loves the bright colors. She tries to grab the moving fish. I just love watching her play and have fun with her toys!!!

Kaylynn's Debut

This is a video of Kaylynn playing with her toys!

Tuesday Toot

I finally completed some homework on my online course! I am working on my Masters in Special Education, and I find it difficult to squeeze in time for homework since I recently became a mommy to the most beautiful girl in my world.

My Precious Baby

My precious baby girl is growing up so fast. This was Kaylynn's first professional photo shoot taken at the hospital when she was two days old! Time has flown by! Kaylynn is approaching five months, and she is growing up way too quickly! My little butterball baby is blooming into a beautiful baby girl! She is listening intently to stories, and watching her Boz DVD's with enthusiam! I am just gloating how my precious baby loves books! She listened to me read for forty five minutes in one setting! We read stories about Davy Crockett & Baby Jesus. She also listened to other various children books. I am so amazed that she liked the book about Davy Crockett because it was sooooooooo wordy! I guess she loves to hear her mother's voice!(I am afraid she will outgrow this someday!) And I am soooo happy that she is being exposed to some authentic vocabulary!

Thank You Dear Lord

Thank You Dear Lord For My Little Princess!

Mama's Little SweetPea!

This is my little sweetpea all bundled up for her first outside walk! Last Sunday, we were blessed with warm weather! The temperature was in the high 60's, so I bundled Kaylynn up and we walked outside for an hour or more! The fresh air made her frisky and vibrant! I could tell that she enjoyed being outdoors, and her mama sure enjoyed showing her the outside world! If Kaylynn is anything like me, she will love the outdoors!

Organic Green Beanos & Orange Rootie Tooties

I am so happy that my baby girl loves her organic baby food vegetables! I believe we are what we eat! My heart shines bright that my little girl eats her veggies! Let's hope she continues to love her vegetables!

More Tummy Time

Kaylynn doesn't seem to mind her tummy time anymore. In fact, she loves tummy time! She enjoys reaching for her toys! I am so proud that she is able to push herself up! She will be crawling in no time at all!

Dr.Mercola

I subscribe to weekly newsletters from Dr. Mercola. I find his newsletters insightful and interesting. Do you like lemons in your water or ice tea? You might think again after watching this You-Tube video, and reading what Dr. Mercola has to say about lemon slices. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/3/4/beware-of-lemon-slices-in-your-restaurant-drinks.aspx I definetely recommend reading this article! Oprah and Dr. Oz have also talked about this issue on Oprah.

In hopes of making more friends in the blogosophere, I am going to be a friend and feature a new blog every Friday. Today, I would like to introduce you all to Sarah's blog "Live In Freedom" @ http://radicalunschooler.blogspot.com/. Her fabulous blog records her beliefs and values on parenthood and homeschooling. Being a new mother of a four month old, I really have enjoyed reading her thoughtful posts as she shares her parenting experiences! I hope you all enjoy her blog like I do!

Tuesday Toot

My Tuesday Toot: My daughter hates to take naps! She will sleep 8-10 hours every night, but she will fight naps like crazy! This is a picture of "victory!" I was able to rock my restless daughter asleep for a much needed nap!

SuperNanny!

Homeschooling

I found this video on Kathleen's blog (http://www.kateyz.blogspot.com/) This clip is so hilarious! Don't get me wrong....I am all for homeschooling, private schools, and public schools. I think each family should do what is best for their family! If your family is homeschooling, then I highly recommend you check out this link: http://www.veritaspress.com/. I really enjoy how they have their curriculum set up! They have very high standards!

More Camping Fun!

Mommy's Little Diva

Saturday's Showdown

Today was another girls day out! Kaylynn, grandma, and mommy had fun around the town! Our activities consisted of returning dvd's to the public library, buying diapers at Sams, eating at Applebees, and shopping (@ Hobby Lobby, Sally's Beauty Supply, Fashion Bug, Old Navy, and Books A Million). Kaylynn is such a sweet little baby when we go out. She loves to explore different environments. I rarely have any problems with Kaylynn, except we had a little incident at Applebees. Everything was going great. My mom was enjoying her lunch, and I was feeding Kaylynn her bottle. I could tell that she was having fun looking at all the stimulating colors. When my mom finished her dinner, she took Kaylynn so I could eat my dinner. Kaylynn was doing great until some friends came to our table. They wanted to see Kaylynn, but she wasn't too happy to see them! She started to cry and make a huge stink.....so we packed up my food and left in a hurry! I never seen Kaylynn act like this before...but I am surmising that she doesn't like strangers when she is in a strange enviroment!The rest of the day was fantastic! Kaylynn did her usual grunting and squawking. Everyone just looked at us and chuckled! We attracted so much attention from her grunting. She is one loud baby!

Trading Grunting For Squawking!

My little precious girl loves to squawk like a hyena every night between 6-9pm. Her squawks are quite loud and they are accompanied by a miniature coughing session afterwards. I call her my little drama queen. She has traded in her grunting (see link below) for loud squawks! Anyone else have children that love to squawk?http://kaylynnsmommy.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-babythe-grunting-machine.html

Camping Out

My daughter doesn't like to take many naps. Sometimes it is difficult to find activities to entertain her while she is up all day long! My mom and I made her a tent to entertain her for awhile. She thought it was fun for a good ten minutes, and then she wanted to do something different all over again!
