Elimination Communication

Alisyn and i just started practicing EC today like 30 mins ago, i decided we were going to jump head first in to EC and i must say when she went pee in the toilet the first time .. i teared up!!! i could believe how rewarding it would be for me, and the smile she gave me was kinda like ... oh ya i just peed! LOL

going to work on it till we have it down pat! cant wait im sure ill get peed on plenty.. but that the name of the game :]]

6 months old!

WOW i cant believe how big my baby girl is getting! we just got home from her 6th month check up, and im happy with the results,

she weighs 14.13lbs

she is 26in tall

if i put her in the sitting position she can stay there until she decides to roll around :]]

she puts her self to sleep (she mumbles until she passes out LOL )

SHE CUT HER 2nd tooth today!!!

so hows nursing with teeth ... she has yet to chomp down so thats good! i feel no difference until she turns her head and breaks the latch that way ... then ya it hurts lol


her doctor said she is looking super healthy and happy(all smiles),


funny thing happened when we were leaving the doctors room one of the ladies at the desk looked at me and said "no shots?" and i looked at her and said "nope, she dont get shots" and she smiled and said she agreed with me and i said i wish more people felt as we did (pretty awesome i thought)


until next time :]]

My First Mothers Day ♥

My love got me a whole new cookware set!! and new oven mittens and pot holders :]] ... ohhh he knows me so well :]] ive been looking for a new set for a while! now just a cast iron set for camping and ill have all my cookware i need for now LOL

then he took me out to eat .. it was just the two of us and it was nice! then we rounded off the day at the shooting range :]]

and when we got home Tj looks at my garden and say hey what are these growing... and sure enough my salad greens are coming in and my broccoli are as well! i am super excited to say the least, I'm waiting for my carrots and peas to pop up now ... and still need to get my matters planted :/


let just say i couldn't have asked for a better First Mothers Day ♥

I see white!!!

I finally see white!! her teeth are finally cutting thank goodness! i cant wait .. once she has he teeth im going to start Baby lead winging :]]

Long Time!

No update ;]]

Ok so here is whats happening so far ...


Alisyn is almost 5 1/2 months,
she has her 6th month check you at the end of the month....someone please slow down time!!!
She is now mobile, she can pretty much roll across the living room and she will sit there and roll back and forth in one spot to change direction/angle LOL
she has masted her sippy cup ... not the straw sippy cup (she dont like the small straw lol )
she loves loves loves her jumper!
she is trying to do the army crawl.....she will work her little feet and her littler arms dont move and get so mad ... but shes trying! and for 5 months i think shes doing AMAZING!
still no shots
i took her off her reflux medicine she no longer needs it been off it for 2 weeks and i think her spit up is now at a normal level if it elevates i might put her back on but i dont think that will happen :]]
she would also give she-ra a run for her money when it comes to her death grip LOL,
she has been doing awesome when it comes to trying new things .. like apple juice i made her from organic cameo apples , she is a little leery of the apple sauce still LOL but she has also tried prune juice (due to not going)...she HATES it lol
it seems like she gets bigger everyday, it makes me sad and happy ... when i stop and think how long she has been here with us its baffling i still cant believe it!


thats it for now .. will update after her appt :]]

Easter!

well Easter was great! i made cream cheesecake cupcakes with raspberry syrup (homemade of course)and they were a hit! everyone enjoyed them ... i also made a ham that i thought turned out dry ... but everyone assured me it tasted yummy :]]

Alisyn had a wonderful day, we started it off by going to the Rivera family potluck .. had fun there, saw family that i haven't seen for years! and they got to meet my lovely daughter ♥

Then we went to the Ritchie family dinner... and it was delish! had a blast, watched an egg hunt, and got to see all the kids with their eggs and baskets&heats;

then we ended the wonderful sunny day at the Nampa shooting range :]] ...our new Easter family tradition LOL Alisyn is awesome at the range .. she usually falls asleep LOL .. and i love shoot when ever i can ... i am currently ambidextrous with our AR-15 .. and im loving it LOL


well that was a quick run down of our first family Easter :]]
