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!

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!

Updates!

Haven't updated in a while so here's what's been happing in Ms. Khloe's world...She is now eating chicken (though she hates the texture), mango and sweet corn! I don't wait the 5 days that the pedi recommends before introducing new food...We feed her the food for 2 days for a total of 4 times and then we move on! At the pedi's rate she would only be introduced to 6 foods a month and that is just crazy! It only takes 4 hours to know of an allergic reaction soooooooooo I'm sticking to my way! lol She's sitting a little better now and we hope she is able to sit by her 6 month check up on July 6th! Since I am back at work next Monday :( David will be taking her to her appointment so I'm already making a list of questions for him to ask the pedi. We have taken Khloe to the lavender festival, her aunt's High School graduation and Victoria Gardens (where she finally used her stroller without the car seat for the first time!) Auntie Kristie also came over to the house and saw Khloe during her 5 monthaversary and Auntie Tefis got her a cute watermelon dress! My mom and I went to Vegas and David took care of Khloe and he did great! My dad is in Mexico and has been there for 3 weeks and took my camara :( He left me with a crappy one which is why I haven't posted pictures in a LONG time! He is back this weekend and I will update pictures soon!

My First Easter & Photo Shoot!

Here I am with the Easter dress I got from my Grandma Hernandez

With my first stuffed bunny I got at my baby shower

Doesn't my dress look like a mini wedding dress?

My Easter dress would have been uncomfortable to wear all day so I also had a comfy outfit

Look at the bunny on my butt!

Here I am with Fluffy, he will be 15 this June and lives at Grandma's house! My Daddy hates it when I'm this close to dogs but Fluffy isn't even touching me.

Mommy when will you be done with this silly photo shoot?

I Love Mommy & Mommy Loves Me

Mommy and Daddy bought me this playmat yesterday and Mommy put it together! They also got me a mobile for my crib, chain link toys, 3 pj's (I'm wearing 1 of them in the picture), pacifiers, a new cover for my Boppy and some Huggies toilettries :) I had a good day!

Wearing my I love Mommy and Mommy Loves Me onesie...Believe it or not, these are the first pictures I've taken with Mommy since I've been released from the NICU. On a side note, I like to stick out my tongue a lot :P I will also mimic you...if you stick out your tongue, I will stick mine out!

Here with Uncle and Cousin Alex, they came to visit me today!
