Pioneer children sang as they walked and walked and walked and walked and walked

With spring here it is finally nice enough to go on walks! Berklee and I go on one everyday and sometimes Daddy joins us! Today we went on a walk for our family night, at least that is what I am counting it as. Berklee LOVES being outside and is that happiest baby. Although she does hate being in her stroller! Half way thru our walk she was fussing so Daddy had to hold her :) What a good daddy he is!

Peas anyone?

It's always fun to have a new adventure right? Well, Berklee has been doing so good at eating her cereal so I decided to start her on peas... dun, dun, dun!

SHE HATES THEM!!! She wouldn't swallow, so they just stayed in her mouth until they were watery and finally she would give in. We were laughing so hard because of the faces she was making. What a funny little girl. I guess we will try again tomorrow!

4 month pics

We got Berklee's pictures taken when she had just turned 4 months. If you wanna take a look go to thesmilestation.com.

A few new posts

I have been meaning to post about my fridge that we got a little over a month ago. For those of you that know, the fride that we had was the smallest normal size fridge known to man. I felt like I was living in a college dorm because it was so little. Kyle's grandpa gives us a lot of meat so our freezer was always full. Every time we would open it everything would fall out and we would have to rearrange. We came from living with my mom who had a side by side. It was so nice to always have ice and water. We didn't even have room to lay ice trays flat! So with a ton of meat and a bag of ice our freezer was stuffed to the brim! Thank goodness for tax returns! We finally bought a new bigger fridge with ice and water :) and lot more room!







Next item of business... When Kyle and I were dating he built me a bear at Build-a-bear. So I decided to build him one as well. The outfit I bought was a little dancer outfit since I love to dance. We have been cleaning out stuff in our house and came across the little outfit. Well we decided to put the skirt on Berklee and it fit! She really is like a doll!



And now the last order of business, at least for today. Berklee is famous for spitting up all over your clothes and her's especially after you put her in something clean. One evening Kyle was holding her and BLEH all over Kyle's shirt! Next thing we know Miss Bobble Head sticks her face right in it! We couldn't help but laugh and the best part was she didn't even get mad. What a good baby! and super hillarious! Enjoy

Spring!

Who doesn't love nice weather when you can go outside and enjoy the sunshine! Well I absolutely love it and even more now that I have Berklee. She loves being outside! Last monday she was being so fussy so we went for a walk. The minute we stepped outside she was as happy as could be, no fussing, no crying, nothing... Just one happy baby. After we went around the block we came back inside. Once again, fuss, fuss, fuss. So after I couldn't stand it anymore we went on another walk. Once again HAPPY BABY! When we came home, for the two seconds we were inside she fussed for a little bit but then I put a chair outside on our back porch and we just sat there. She was so happy to be outside! So I think we will be going outside a lot this summer, taking advantage of our pool and the beautiful weather! Welcome Spring!

Finger Food

Berklee has found a new love! Her fingers! I really think that she is teething, but who knows. She always finds a way to sneak her fingers into her mouth lately. When she is crying she will find her fingers and put them in her mouth to soothe. Or in the middle of the night when she starts to stir in go her fingers. Hopefully she will grow out of it when she is little so it's not a problem as she gets older. As for now, we try and give her the bink or sometimes just laugh cause she is so darn cute!

So Big! and fun with the Exersaucer

Berklee is getting so big she is starting to hold her own bottle! I can't believe it because she is still just so little but getting so big at the same time. I still just love watching her and holding her. She is the sunshine in my life! I couldn't ask for anything better in life than Motherhood.




Berklee loves sitting up now days. She hates when you try and cradle her unless she is tired. So today she was being really fussy and trying to sit up all the way instead of on an incline, so I decided to put her in her adorable Exersaucer! The picture of her legs crack me up because she is just too little that they were dangling :) I was just laughing because she was so cute and was having a little fun for awhile!

It's a bird! It's plane! It's a....

New CAR!!

Kyle and I have been thinking of getting a new car for awhile to replace our mazda. Yes, we only have had that car a year, but with having Berklee we wanted another really good car to keep her safe. So saturday we went over to Ken Garff Nissan and this is what we found!! A GTR!! I know you all are jealous! It was only $80,000.00, no problem right....



Just Kidding. We really did buy a new car, but it is a Nissan Rogue. We totally love it! It's a crossover suv, so not really a suv but has everything one would have in it. WE are in LOVE!!!

Cereal Time!!! and 4 months

Yesterday was the first time Berklee got to eat cereal! She didn't do very good and still can't get the concept of how to eat it but it sure was fun trying. She is such a happy baby and was super happy the whole time I was feeding her. She kept pretending to eat it then would totally spit it out! She would make the noise and purse her lips, I was laugh so hard. What a funny little girl!

Berklee had her 4 month appt. on Monday. She weighs 10 lbs 6 oz and is 21 3/4 in. That poor girl has no hope for heigth. She is in the 2% for weight and off the chart on the low end for everything else. She is the cutest little Peanut! WE absolutely love her!

So Precious!

These pictures explain themselves! So precious! Kyle always takes naps with Berklee like this and I absolutely love it. I have several pictures on different days that he has done this. He is such a good Daddy and Berklee loves him so much! Thanks Honey for being so wonderful even though you probably aren't going to read this!

Project

This is my first big project on my sewing machine. I've made a couple pillow cases and a bag, but this blanket took a lot more time. My sister in-law Mindy made one for Berklee, so when I got my sewing machine I wanted to make one! They are super easy, but way time consuming. I had to work on it when Berklee went to bed so I stayed up pretty late a few nights. I got it finished in 3 days and boy I would NOT recommend that for anyone that wants to make one. Anyway, Thanks Mindy for teaching me!
