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

It was hot so she stripped down to her under shirt and diaper! Wearing Auntie Kristie's Coach glasses!

A stylin' little girl..haha!

6 Month Pedi Appointment

Auntie Stefany and Uncle Kent took Khloe to her 6 month check-up since David and I were both at work on Thursday. She now weights 16.6lbs and measures 25 1/4 inches! The doctor said that she's exactly where a 6 month old baby girl should be. I made a list of questions and comments for my sister so she can ask the pedi and Dr. Warren is so great, he answered them for me on my list! I was concerned that she had only rolled over once and he said that since Khloe can actually sit at 6 months, she is ahead on development because not many babies sit at that age! She can start to eat whole milk yogurt at 7 months and textured food at 9 months. He said to hold off on juice but that we can give her 2-3oz twice a day. I think I will give her 2oz every few days so she can try it. He upped her solid meals to 3 times a day and was happy we are scheduling her InfantSee appoinment next week :) He didn't even have to tell us about it because we were the ones that brought it up! Her next appointment is scheduled for October! I can't believe it would be Halloween by then. After the appointment they went to visit me at work and everyone loved being able to see Khloe and they all noticed how big she is getting. I will post more pictures soon!

5 Months/6 Months/4th of July!!!

I haven't posted in a while so I am posting a mix of pictures in no particular order! Khloe at 5 months, 6 months, at her Aunt Jannette's Birthday Party and her first time in her little pool on 4th of July :D I promise I will update more often like I used to. Khloe can now sit by herself! She tilts over here and there but for the most part she sits on her own. I don't know why but she doesn't turn!!! She has only done it once and never again after that. She has her 6 month check up next week and Tia Tefis will be taking her since David and I both work :( I am putting together a list of questions for her and things for her to mention to the Pedi. She loves guava and mango and has eaten everything we've given her! I went back to work 2 weeks ago so we are supplementing with formula...She still gets breast milk which we froze a few days a week but then it's formula. She is a little flirt already with the boys! Tia Tefis and Tio Kenty Poo took her to Chuckee Cheese last Thursday and she enjoyed sitting next to Chuckee! I don't have pictures of that (my sister does) so I will post those later! We are truly blessed that we were all able to switch our schedules so she doesn't need to go to a sitter now that I'm at work :) The only thing that's sad is the fact that we don't have a day off together as a family but sacrifices need to be made! That's all for now...Enjoy these new pictures and stay tuned for a bloggy make over!

First Playdate/Chivas-America Classic/Randoms!

Mommy and I went to Victoria Gardens (a perfect day to stroll around on Earth Day) to meet Auntie Kristie's 'cousin' Meghan & Hailey. Mommy follows their blog so they decided it was time to meet. We had a lot of fun! Mommy and Meghan had lunch at Lucille's BBQ while I played with my toys and Hailey had avocado and chicken...It looked good and I can't wait to try it! After eating we walked/strolled around :) the kids stores and visited the puppies. I can't wait to do it again soon!

Hailey was eating her stroller and even wanted a piece of mine!

Here I am with the outfit Grandpa and Grandma brought me from Puerto Vallarta

Ready for a day out!

My Grandma isn't wearing a Chivas shirt cuz she likes America booooooooooo! Que vivan las Chivas!

My favorite time of the day! I sat on Grandpa for the whole first half of the game and WATCHED it ;) I'm a true Chivas at Heart! My Grandpa played soccer for so many years that he can call every play, it is amazing!

Holding my bottle all by myself! I even have a Chivas bib that my Great Grandma from Mexico sent to me.

My 2nd Chevy's trip but this time with Daddy, that day we also went to Babies R Us & Target

Jonathan and Great Grandma (haha!) Elizabeth came to visit me. I loved seeing them again because I hadn't seen them since the NICU. They brought Mommy some goodies and a little kangaroo stuffed animal for me which I like to play with! Kim and Little Dee also visited me (Mommy forgot to take a picture since they were so busy talking about puppies!) This was their first time meeting me and they ended up taking the last puppy home which was great because they also have another dog from one of Grandpa's litters!

I kept pulling Mommy's hair because it looked different! That night Mommy and Daddy were spontaneous and snuck out to BJ's in the middle of the night while I slept (they didn't leave me home alone, Grandma kept checking up on me)

Wearing my Converse onesie with my Converse socks. Grandpa was wearing his Converse shirt that day too and Tia Tefis her Converse but Mommy forgot to capture the moment...Hmmmm...She's been forgetting to take pictures!

I got tired and took a nap!
