Almost a Year!

It's bittersweet to be back on this blog! I can't believe I haven't logged in for almost a year. Khloe will be 2 soon and she is growing like a weed! She has a pedi appointment scheduled for next month so we'll get her more recent percentiles then. Last I remember she was at 52% in weight and 75% for height! She has to see the optometrist again before the end of the year to see if her stigmatism has gotten better. Her shoe size is about a 5.5 right now and she's been wearing 2T-3T clothes for a while! Yesterday I bought her a couple of Disney pj's and a brown and leopard jacket all size 3T! She still has her darn pacifier and I hope she gets rid of it by her birthday party. I keep telling her that girls that are 2 don't use a "chh chh" (that's what she calls it). Her best friend is our dog Twinkie and I just love the fact that when we pull to the house she calls out his name because she knows he's in there! Awwwww I just wish that David understood how important it is for him to be able to interact with Khloe and not be put away or outside all the time :( Her favorite song to dance to is Waka Waka by Shakira and La Cancion del Chicharito...she's a true Chivas at heart! She loves to color (calls it "circles") and her favorite shows to watch are iCarly and SpongeBob! She's used the potty a few times but isn't consistent with it...it will definitely take some time! We took her to Solvang a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed our little vacation. I know I'm just blabbing...I haven't updated this in a year! I have a Facebook page and that's where I post new pictures to now. I'll try to log in more often (don't hold your breath!) haha!

A Much Needed Update!

Sooooooo...........I am so sad that I haven't been able to keep up with this blog. For one, my personal computer isn't working too well and David is always working on his so I've been reading A LOT! My sister and I took Khloe to my friend Ashley's son 1st year old birthday party. We had a lot of fun and Khloe had her first kiss :) haha! I have pictures and will post them! Khloe had her pediatrician appointment last week and now weighs 19.4lbs! The doctor is extremely happy with her progress and she's now in the 50 percentile :) She got a flu shot and didn't even cry! She then went to visit me at work and everyone enjoyed seeing her. The day after her appointment I left to Visalia for the week on a business trip and of course, she started crawling :( We knew she would be doing so soon but I was sad when she did it and I wasn't there. Thankfully my sister caught some of it on camera as she was crawling to Fluffy! Last weekend I took her to take Halloween pictures and my sister went with us. She is going to be Baby Tweety :) Every time you call her name she goes "huh?" She knows you're talking to her and replies to you! Since she's crawling everywhere, she demands more time (I'm only typing this because she is taking a nap). Grandpa had a hard time with her yesterday since she's so needy now. She had pickles for the first time yesterday and loved them, even took a bite of it! She now has 2 teeth, 2 in the bottom center. I will post pictures soon, promise! I can't believe she'll be 10 months next Friday...she'll be one sooner than we think!

Monthly Update (Long)

I might as well call this my monthly update since it appears I've been doing 1 per month :( David took Khloe to her Infantsee apointment which is a complimentary optometrist appointment for babies 6-12 months of age. This is a great opportunity to see if the baby is developing any problems and to try to resolve them within 5 years since that's when their eyes are in development. After getting her eyes dilated and tested, Khloe has a slight stigmatism which she probably got from me since David doesn't have one. She is to go back to the doctor in 6 months and if it hasn't gotten better, she'll be getting glasses! How a 15 month old baby can keep glasses on is beyond me but lets hope she doesn't need them. After the appointment David took her to my job to visit and everyone loved seeing her. Khloe now pulls herself up by holding on to hands, shirts, pretty much whatever she can get her hands on! She is still not crawling and still hasn't gotten her first tooth! She has the pincher grasp down but doesn't understand to actually put the food in her mouth! She's tried popcorn, alphabet letter soup,1 type of hard cheese, tortillas, beans, watermelon and many other things, she'll be trying egg yolk later today. She LOVES to talk and is always a happy baby! Right now we're home even though we had the beach and fair planned this weekend because she has a cold and more than anything, is very congested. Her Aunt Marina and Grandma Olga watched her for the first time a couple of weeks ago because David had to go to the Doctor and the DMV. She actually did really well with them even though she doesn't see them much. Every morning when she's at home we have a ritual where we hold her and whatever DVD she chooses, that's the one she watches...of course we make sure that it is kid friendly! She is just like her Daddy and loves movies but yesterday she was in total awe watching the Sandlot! Sorry David, she's going to like sports (unlike you!) haha :) At Grandma's house we will be converting one of the rooms to Khloe's room (yes, she's spoiled!) Grandpa even got her a pink stroller for when she's over their house. Funny story.....She has long hair in the front but not the back so Grandma decides to trim her hair and it looks as though she got a bowl and cut around it LOL she looks like a little boy now but still so cute! Now I have to wait for it to a grow again before I schedule any professional pictures! She loves to take baths and now takes big girl baths in the regular size tub with her toys and bubbles :) Yesterday she got a menthol bath to help her with all the boogies she has! She has a lot of bath toys but her favorite one is a rubber duck from the Westin (I used to collect anything related to rubber duckies and my mom gave me that duck years ago). I cleaned out her drawers yesterday and had so many outfit that no longer fit her :( I started crying when I came across a preemie size dress she wore right before she turned a month old...I can't believe she's grown so much in just 8 months; time has truly gone by quick! That's all for now, I will post pictures later today!

A Much Needed Update

Khloe is almost 8 months old and I still haven't posted her 7 month old pictures! She stayed at Grandma and Grandpas that night so they have those pictures and I haven't been able to get them. It is getting harder for me to update since I work 50 hour weeks and by the time I get home I have to feed Khloe, bathe her, have dinner, take care of the dogs, get my clothes ready for the next day, TRY to clean and then go to sleep! Parenthood is hard but it is the most rewarding job anyone can ask for. Khloe is eating A LOT of solid foods now but hasn't been doing all that great with her formula. I think it's due to her teething but thankfully yesterday and today were better days! I got bronchitis a couple of weeks ago and then Khloe had a fever for a few days and her Auntie Stefany took her to the pedi...her pedi wasn't available but she got seen by another pedi and she was perfectly fine! No sign of infection or anything so we think her fever was due to once again...teething! There are no teeth yet so I am sure Khloe is just fed up! This weekend Grandma and Grandpa bought her a jumper for their house, a bunch of little toys, spoons and food...she is truly spoiled and has the best Grandparents ever :) I can't recall if I mentioned this before but she has said "hi" a few times! She also likes to play pon pon ta ta (I played that when I was a kid) and she sometimes says ta ta while doing it...hard to explain what that is without a video so I will try to get one! Grandma was the one to teach her this as well as fake coughing which she does just for Grandma and to try to get her attention! This weekend we went to her friend Hailey's first birthday and had a lot of fun! Here are a few pictures of that day and one of her eating on Grandma with her Lacoste hat from a while back :)


Playing in the pool full of balls! She looks so much like her Daddy here :)

Playing with the birthday girl Hailey! She was sharing already...even her binkie! lol
