Two Month Immunizations

Tuesday was a big day for us this week.
First, Kadee and I walked over to meet Spencer at Institute. We have joined him for class the last couple of weeks. It has been good for us to get out, but we only have one more week of that left so we will enjoy it while we can. Spencer really likes being able to see Kadee during the day and show off his baby to everyone too.

Second thing on our agenda (and the biggest thing for us that day) was our appointment for Kadee's immunizations.
Without a doubt, we were definitely getting Kadee immunizations! People who don't are crazy. Spencer was watching a video of a baby with pertussis and he said it was so sad! All because their parents don't know what they're doing and are bring back diseases that have no reason to be around at all because there is a vaccine for that! Ok... rant over.



Poor little baby screamed once she figured out what was happening. She was a trooper though and didn't cry for long. Her Daddy had to hold her though because Mommy couldn't watch. She took hold of Spencer's shirt and didn't let go until we made her to undress her for the doctor. I think she felt safer holding on because that ensured that her Daddy didn't put her down. While we were waiting, Kadee quickly fell asleep on her Daddy's lap. We had shots first and saw the doctor second. So Kadee was completely asleep by the time the doctor walked in. Doc said she had never seen that before. Ha.
Kadee is now 24 3/4 inches long and weighs 13lb 15oz! She's getting too big way too fast! I just want her to stay little for longer than she is. Oh well. She is stinkin' cute so I guess we'll forgive her for growing up too fast. 

That afternoon, the Pharmacy College was doing a family movie night thing. We decided it would be ok to walk over because Kadee wasn't acting grumpy at all from her shots. In fact, we never even gave her Infant's Tylenol or anything. She did great. The weather right now feels fantastic so we had a lovely walk. (Second walk of the day too.) We watched "Beauty and the Beast". The lecture hall works pretty great as a movie theater. There weren't a ton of people there, but there were a lot of treats and we had fun. Kadee behaved herself marvelously through the whole movie.

 The walk there.                                    Showing off.

 The walk home. So curious.

2 Months!

I can't believe how time is flying by! Too fast, too fast - I want to keep my little baby a little longer. But she is already growing so fast. Newborn clothes are long gone and she's already starting to get too tall for her 0-3 sizes. 

 Kadee is a good sleeper. She really likes my soft bed.

 She has started sucking on her arm. Not her thumb, that's not good enough. Her entire arm.

 

Ready for the game!

  ...unfortunately not much of a game.

Walking with Daddy

Kadee and I did a 3 mile diabetes walk (since mine is here to stay). But my walkin' buddy fell asleep before we even started walkin'. Still cute though. She loves the stroller.

 There were over a thousand participants and we raised over $100,000 for diabetes research.

So sleepy!!

 

Sometimes Kadee gets excited. Over what I don't know...

 

 Occasionally I do know.

 I've been trying to catch Kadee "talking" but she hasn't let me. We got close though.

Kadee's Baby Blessing & Labor Day Weekend

These pictures are from the before-the-blessing trip to Tulsa. We ran to Costco to grab a few things and to test out Kadee on a longer car ride. She slept the whole way there and screamed most the way back so who knows.

 All dressed up and ready to go!

 We grabbed something to eat while we were there, but Spencer didn't want to get anything on the baby.

 I think it worked.

It was so great to have family come visit for Kadee's blessing. She has been held constantly and loved by everyone. Spencer gave her a beautiful blessing. He felt it was very important that she grow up learning to love her Heavenly Father and be a good example. I love that. I will do my best as her mom to help her and be an example myself. 
I absolutely love that my mom saved the blessing dress she sewed for me so we could use it for Kadee! The only thing is that Kadee is quite a bit bigger than I was so we just couldn't do up the top button on the dress.
Everyone took lots of pictures this weekend so I'm using mine and stealing quite a few to get everything documented on the blog.

 This is how we found Kadee when we went to get her ready for church. She must have been too warm or super squirmy or both. I dunno.

 Here she is all ready! Thanks Grandma Dana for the beautiful blessing blanket!

 Grandma Carrie took some great pictures of Kadee for me.

 

 3 generations!

 

4 generations!

On Labor Day Grandma and Grandpa B and Ashleigh came to say goodbye before they all headed to San Antonio. When Grandma got here the conversation went like this:
Grandma: "Where is the baby?"
Me: "In the bathroom."
Grandma: ".....the BATHROOM?!??"
Me: "Yeah. Look."

 Haha! Grandma was pretty confused, but she was ok with it after I explained that Kadee sleeps great with the fan on in the bathroom. So we put her in there with us when we shower (she likes the sound of the shower too) and then when she falls asleep I usually just leave her there. It's great because then I can get other things done in the morning.

After Grandma and Grandpa left with Ashleigh leading the way (hope she doesn't lose them somewhere!), we left to meet Mom, Dad, and the little people at their hotel room. Kadee really likes her bath a night and I thought she might like to play in the pool. So we got her all suited up in her super cute swimming suite from Brianna and I sat in the water with her (luckily it was super warm) and splashed her feet in it. She sits very content when she is in water. I think that will end up being a lot of fun in the future! After that we found a bbq place for my dad for lunch, had some ice-cream and then had to say goodbye. 
So glad everyone was able to make it. I know it is not an easy or quick drive by any means. It sure meant a lot to me to have as many family members as we did.

 SO cute Brianna! We love it! (I really wanted her to wear it before she gets too big!)
