Going, Going, Gone

Kresee's absolute favorite thing to do is sit outside...She will hang out in her bumbo on the swing next to you for a long time.....Even if there is no action running around in front of her, she still will sit there perfectly content.....

But last weekend, the boys were playing in the swimming pool and running around....She was sitting there and then it obviously wore her out watching these two.....They didn't want to look at the camera (shocker) and so I told them to give me a mean face.....

Going

Going

Gone

We sat outside yessterday as well.....I think we do just about everyday.....

We hung out and enjoyed the warm weather....Watched the dogs bake in the sun.....

And I stared out at the fence thinking of Sweet Biskit....She is buried right behind our back fence....

Boomer Sooner:)

Kresee will be 5 months next week and she is having her pictures made....I have all her little outfits and things ready to go...This morning I decided to see how her Sooner shirt fit her....We bought this when I was pregnant with her while we were in Norman sometime....It was Kohen's gift to Kresee when she was born....It is 6 months and I forget how those collegiate shirts/clothes run small...So it's pretty darn tight on her fat little belly....I guess since she is above average, we are starting to wear some 6 month clothes already...Kerry recently corrected me on my last post of her stats from her 4 month check-up....Our pediatrician just said she is right above average which meant right above the 50% percentile to me...He pointed out that she really is at the 75% for height and weight....So that is for you, Kerry!!!...I was wrong and you were right:)


Laughing at silly mommy.....
Laying on her belly so I can get a picture of her cute bloomers.....

Aren't they adorable??

She is sitting up so good these days....She, of course, will fall over at some point....But she can go for a minute or longer by herself now......

See that bin sitting in the background....It's filled to the brim of clothes that are already too small...Did that yesterday and couldn't believe how much stuff she's already grown out of!!

Sweet Dreams Biskit

"If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went" ~Unknown

We said goodbye to Biskit last night around 7:30....It was the hardest thing and most sad thing I've ever done in my life....This morning as it rains, I already miss her sweet face so much....My heart is broken, but I do know she is no longer in any pain....We love you Sweet Biskit.....

Jumperoo

Got out the Jumperoo today to see if Kresee likes it....So far, so good....Here is one of Kohen when he first tried it out at 5 months too....


























She doesn't quite know what to think about it so far....

Love it:)

So I've been searching for a blanket for Kresee....She absolutely loves to suck on ribbons...She really loves her pacifier clip ribbons and she loves sucking on her blankets, burp cloths, etc....My friend Angela has the cutest blanket for her baby girl and I fell in love...So I've been in search of finding one like it....I have heard of Etsy but never looked at it....I actually did for the first time about 2 weeks ago and it's where I ordered this precious tutu for Kresee's upcoming 5 month pictures....
The point is that I found this lady http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6224748
Spool N Loops is her shop's name and she has some cute stuff.....She's in the process of these precious dolls to that I think I might have to get one as well:)
I think Etsy can be a little bit addicting!!!

Kool Kresee

Kohen wanted Kresee to try on his pair of shades....She was like "Seriously, what have you stuck on my face??"

BUT Kresee finally had her 4 month check-up eventhough she is technically 4 1/2 months....She weighed in at 15 lbs 4 oz. and was 25 inches long......

I looked back and saw that Kohen was 15 lbs 15 oz and 26 inches long....So she is not too far behind him....

That made her right at the 50% for height and right above the 50% for weight and head circumference.....

She is not interested at ALL in food....We've tried rice cereal 3 times and sweet potatoes 2 times....Kohen desperately wants to feed her and have her yet....But she's just not ready...So I will wait until she is 5-6 months old before really trying again......

First bite ever of rice cereal....Wondering what in the world I'm doing....She really was interested in the pretty spoon....

Then the "Oh my gosh---what did you just do to me face"

"Seriously, you are going to shove more in??"

Then a week later, I just thought I would give sweet potatoes a try.....

"Here we go again!"

"Nope--still not liking it Kohen"

And here is Happy Kresee when she just drinks her milk and no one is sticking nasty smushy food in her mouth.....

In Your Thoughts

Sweet Biskit is not doing so well....I won't go into too much detail....I just know the end is very, very near and we are all very sad at our house....So just keep us and her in your thoughts....

Lake Weekend

Just some pictures from the lake this weekend.....

Kohen really doesn't realize what a lucky boy he is....That he is just 3 years old and has been lucky enough to enjoy the lake ever since he was 6 weeks old....Not many 3 year olds get to drive a boat....Kerry is sitting with him and he is just telling Kohen to turn the wheel: right, left, or go straight....He takes this job very serious:)

Kresee hanging out in the boat with me...We kept filling her Bumbo with water so she was sitting in it and staying cool.....

She is just hanging out before we got going.....

Waiting to take off to Sandy Beach.....

Watching Kohen wondering what he is doing.....

Cowboy Kohen

We went to the Wildcatter on Saturday night to eat dinner while we were down at the lake.....Kohen and Jaxson wanted a toy....So Kohen picked out a cowboy lasso rope...He, of course, can't get it going...Heck, I can't get it going....But Kerry can and he spun it around Kohen last night...It was pretty funny because he thought it was pretty neat.....

Getting ready for Daddy to put it around him......

We had to keep telling him to stand really still so it wouldn't hit him.....

And then I had to take some pictures of him in his $5 Wal-Mart cowboy hat and his $5.99 cowboy rope......

Here he caught a "cow"....He loves using things for his "imaginary play"....He has the best time with basically anything he can find.....

Shiny Teeth

Kohen has been to the dentist once before to get his teeth "checked"....Today he was super excited to go with me and I told him that he can get his teeth counted again...Well he was doing so great that they went ahead and did it all....So he got them checked, polished, flossed, and some flouride put on his teeth....He was super good!!!

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling

Kresee has been able to roll over for awhile now....But she still can't seem to quite get that arm and it get stuck underneath her....I'm sure she will figure it out eventually.....I did lay her in my bed the other day and was putting clothes away....I came back to this...She loves pulling on the sheets and tries to suck on them.....

And she is so close to sitting up....She sat up by herself for about a minute the night before last!

And I got through with laundry the other night and Kerry stuck her in my basket of very warm clothes...She was perfectly content and then Kohen wanted in as well....When we took her out, she was super warm!!!

Kresee likes to eat around 6:30 and then again 2-2 1/2 hours later around 8:30 and then she wants to go to bed...Well our schedule got messed up and she fell asleep because we weren't at home and she didn't eat until 7:30 instead of 6:30....BUT like normal she was dying to eat at 8:30 so she could go to bed....Well I had already thawed out her usual 9 oz bedtime bottle....I warmed up the whole thing knowing we would throw half away....So I put Kohen to bed and Kerry fed her and I came back to the room to a very empty bottle...I couldn't believe she had eaten all 9 oz!!! So her belly was seriously huge and looked like it was about to bust!!!

Still making it....

One month ago today, we found out about Biskit's cancer.....And I'm super glad she is still around....It's definitely been a rough month....But I'm about to fill her prescription for the 3rd time which I'm excited about....And she is still doing great after her surgery...She had the drains removed on Monday and she will get her stitches out on Tuesday....So hopefully once those are gone, she can be herself again...It's been hard to not let her just roam around as usual because of the drains....We've had to make her stay in the kitchen or lay on towels....I know she is ready to get the e-collar (cone) off her head too!!!

I hope I get to write about her next month on the 15th:)

New One Again

I wasn't loving my blog background, so I had to change it....And I found this green/blue one that I liked:)
So now I'm happy and it fits well with Kresee's precious header picture!!

Almost Sitting Pretty!

Kresee has really been doing well with her sitting up....We work on it a little each day...Of course, she is still pretty top heavy....But she can do it by herself for several seconds (long enough for me to snap a picture) before she moves and I have to catch her.....

She still likes for me to prop her up with her little boppy pillow so she can hang out a little longer without my assistance.....

And then when you get tuckered out, its nice to lay on the boppy pillow and look (or eat) a great book.....
