Well, where do I start?! It has been a wild and crazy last few days, but we survived it!
Last week was spent preparing and getting ready for our trip, which has already come and gone. Kayden and I made several trips to HEB and Kohl's. We bought a portable dvd player for the car and it was an absolute life saver this weekend!
We left Friday around lunchtime, after Kayden finished her 3 hour nap (which is definitely not typical!). We installed her big girl car seat, and she really likes it. I think it's a lot more comfortable for her. It is wider, softer, and more supportive and stable than her infant carrier. We made it in under 3 hours to Fort Worth without having to stop once! Kayden took naps, played, and watched Yo Gabba Gabba, her most favorite show!
On Saturday, Kayden spent most of the day with her Daddy, while I went to a bridesmaid brunch and did wedding "stuff!" We attended the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner that evening, both of which Kayden did very good at. She sat in a high chair at the restaurant for the first time. Of course she preferred being held though! :)
On Sunday, we got ready and went to the wedding around lunchtime. Nick kept Kayden entertained while I did my Matron of Honor duties all afternoon! After the ceremony, Kayden was worn out and pretty much a mess. She was ready to go home. So I knew that she needed to go, but I had to go to the reception. So I sent her and Nick with my mom and sister back home to Leander. I felt like my heart was ripping in half!!!! It was so hard to send them on without me!! I cried like a baby! I've never been away from my lady bug for more than a couple of minutes before! And certainly not for such a long distance! But they told me she did great on the way home and Nick called me when they got home to let me listen to her laughing at the puppies! She loves being home!
I left Fort Worth around 8pm and got home around 11pm, and right when I walked in the door, went straight to Kayden's room and gave her lots of kisses! It was everything I could do to not wake her up! I missed my baby!
It was a long weekend, but the wedding was beautiful and very emotional for everyone. I tried giving a bridesmaid speech, but couldn't keep myself together. I think it was a combination of lots of emotions and stresses, and I cried so much that I could barely get anything out! But I tried! :)
On Saturday, Kayden got up on her hands and knees for the first time and rocked back and forth. She is really getting ready to crawl now. I am so excited, but know that now I'll be having to chase her around! I guess that's one way to keep the baby weight off!
Kayden is really playing well by herself now. She enjoys her exersaucer, as well as playing on the floor surrounded by her toys (which she does not have a shortage of)! She is babbling a lot now, saying " ba ba" a lot! I love listening to her!
In my spare time (haha) I am going to try and start making hair bows. Of course Kayden needs one to match every outfit, and I think I'd really enjoy making them. I've made one so far, but I definitely need lots more practice! I'm looking forward to learning! Here is the one that I made for Kayden to wear to the wedding:
I guess that's about it for now. I'm going to include a couple of links to my facebook pictures, so you can look at our pictures from the past weekend, as well as pictures of Kayden. Keep checking youtube. I've posted a couple new videos as well. Hope everyone has a great week.
Until next time......
