Well we've had a very eventful week! Nick was off all week (mandatory unpaid unfortunatley), so I did have a little extra help during the day with Kayden and daily chores. However, it seems whenever Nick is home and tries to relieve me a little, Kayden decides it would be a good time to throw a wrench in our plan! :)
She started off the week great, still not sleeping much at night, but at least pretty happy during the day. By the middle of the week through the end though, she was so fussy during the day and sleeping less and less at night to where she was up every hour at night. Needless to say, Mommy hasn't gotten much sleep this week! Well there's always hope for next week!
However, Kayden has developed some major milestones this week, which may account for some of her extra fussiness and lack of sleeping. Kayden has learned how to babble somewhat, but mostly does it when she's upset! She's saying "ba ba" and "ra ra." It's so cute! She has also learned how to scoot herself across the floor. She is really good at getting up on her left knee and pushing herself to where she wants to go. She'll really scoot for the remote control or a cell phone! She also learned how to jump and move around in her Johnny Jump Up. She's really starting to like it! So fun! She also has a favorite tv show, which is so funny! She loves "Yo Gabba Gabba," and will turn around from wherever she is if she hears it. She loves it!
This week, Kayden tried out her blow up swimming pool in the backyard. We lathered her up with sunscreen and put on her floppy hat and swim suit and out we went. She splashed around and seemed to enjoy it. We never made it down to the neighborhood pool though. Just didn't get a good time to go, but we hope to go soon.
We also took Kayden out to eat for the first time. We went to Jardin's here in Leander and I think we were there a total of 20 minutes! haha! We ate so fast! Kayden did good though. We brought her in in her infant carrier, and she wanted out of that within the first 5 minutes, so I had to hold her, because she can't quite sit in a high chair yet. It was fun though and we will try to do it again soon. It was nice for us to go out and eat again! I haven't been to a "sit down" restaurant in over 5 months! :)
Tomorrow Daddy is going to take care of Kayden for a lot of the day so that I can run errands and relax. I am really looking forward to it. I still have Christmas gift cards to spend!
Nick got to go and visit his Mamaw this week with his mom and they had a great visit with her. He went and saw a movie with his dad today and tonight, we'll go over to Papa and Bebe's house to celebrate Whit's birthday. Hopefully Kayden won't be too fussy. She's been going to bed between 8 and 8:30 at night now, which is great. It's just the staying asleep part that's hard! :) Last night was the first night in I don't know how long, that she's only woken up one time and gone right back to sleep. So that was very nice!
We will be making another road trip up to Fort Worth next weekend the 5th through the 7th for a wedding. It's going to be another very busy and quick trip. I will be doing a bachelorette brunch on Saturday morning, rehearsal and rehearsal dinner on Saturday evening and the wedding on Sunday afternoon. So not much down time, but it should be fun!
Well I guess that's it for now. Kayden will be 5 1/2 months on Sunday...so crazy!
