13 1/2 Months

Well I don't have to much new news to report, but no news is good news right???

Kayden and I have pretty much been hanging out at the house the past week or so since the weather's been so yucky and cold. We've had a couple play dates with a few friends and are looking forward to having another one on Friday. Kayden really has fun and it helps break up the day!

We are meeting with a real estate agent this evening to see about finally putting our house up on the market. We have been wanting to move for quite awhile now, especially since Kayden was born. Our neighborhood just isn't what we're looking for anymore and we have quickly outgrown this house. We need something that is a little more practical for us! So we'll see what happens. I'll post again at the end of the week or sometime this weekend.

My sister in law is more than likely going to have her baby this Sunday. She will be 37 weeks on Friday and has been having all sorts of contractions and has already been in the hospital a couple of times for different complications. Kylee Faith is a stubborn little thing already! She was in the breech position when Amy (Trent's wife) was in the hospital a few weeks ago. Then she decided to turn head down...yay! Last week, she apparently turned head up again, so they're going to try and turn her back around on Friday so that Amy can deliver her naturally. To turn a baby, they do it from the outside, but Amy will have to be admitted to the hospital and apparently, it can be pretty painful, so they are going to give her an epidural as well. Hopefully they'll get her turned head down and I'll have a niece this weekend! So for now, I think the plan is that Kayden and I will go up on Sunday to stay and be with the new baby and come back Monday. Nick has to work, so he will have to wait and go up another time. Exciting times!!!

Kayden has learned how to climb up on the futon in her play room. It is lower to the ground than our furniture in the living room, which she hasn't mastered yet. She is like a little monkey and thinks she's invincible, so I have to watch her like a hawk now that she is climbing on everything. I think she thinks she will just fly or float rather than fall since her Daddy "flies" her all over the house all the time.

We have been going over to Bebe and Papa's house to visit, and Kayden LOVES to play with their dog Cooper. She calls him, "Capoo." She also calls her Bebe and Papa, "Bebepa," like they are one person! It's so cute! She loves them!

On Tuesday, Kayden and I went and met Nick for lunch in Round Rock. Nick got to show Kayden off to all his work buddies, who just couldn't believe how big she had gotten. We ate at Double Daves Pizza. Pizza is one sure thing that Kayden will eat. She really should've been born in Italy! :) Pizza and spaghetti and favorites in our house!

Kayden has 4 teeth left to cut. They are the ones on the sides in between her side/front teeth and her back molars. She hasn't been sleeping too well since her teeth are coming through, but hopefully it won't be too much longer and we can get back on somewhat of a schedule. I wrote last time, that Kayden was transitioning down to one nap a day, and I still think she is, however, she is back to taking two naps a day. Here is our delima though. She usually goes down for her first nap between 9 and 10 in the morning and then is ready for the next nap between 2 and 3 in the afternoon. I try to not let her sleep past 4 in the afternoon, so that she'll go down at a decent hour in the evenings. We try and get her down between 8 and 9pm. HOWEVER....the past week and a half, she hasn't been going down in the evenings until 10 or 11 pm! And I am not a night person! She just goes and goes. No amount of winding down or calming seems to help. And I don't want to put her in her crib to cry if she's not even tired. So I decided yesterday that she is just going to have to only have one nap a day. So I kept her up and she slept from 1pm until 2:30pm. The child still didn't got to sleep until 9pm and that was with a lot of tears. So I don't know. She just doesn't need a lot of sleep I guess. Once these teeth come through, we'll see if we can get back on a schedule!

Nothing much else to post. Check out the videos at the bottom of the blog. Kayden LOVES to play silly games after she gets out of the bath or when she's getting her diaper changed! They'll make you laugh! :)

We are staying very busy and just taking it one day at a time! Hoping for some sunshine next week! We are ready to get back outside! Have a great weekend!
