What should I do? May 28, 2008
Kylie is having a bad case of stranger anxiety. Every time someone gets too close to her or me, she starts screaming. Her face turns bright red and she starts panicking, to the point that she is about to throw up. I’m having a hard time with this phase. My social life has depleted and I feel bad telling people to not get too close. It makes me look like a over paranoid monster momma.
On Memorial Day we went to an office BBQ. Jonny and I really wanted to play volleyball with a couple of other guys. My friend Sean offered to watch her for awhile. During the game I could hear a baby screaming coming from around the building. I must have mother radar because I knew that the crying was coming from my baby. Jonny and I bee-lined over to the pool and found Sean frantically walking around trying to calm her down. It took 10 mins to calm her down. Jonny had to distract her by dangling her feet in the pool. We eventually had to leave early and never got to finish our game that Jonny and I were winning. (rematch Kyle and Randy)
If anyone had any advice….please feel free to write me.
Selfish May 26, 2008
Yesterday, Kylie and I had Jonathan all to ourselves. I never knew how possessive I was. He works all day and is gone a good deal of the night. The Pointe office is far away from our place so there is a lot of driving involved. When we do get to have family time, we make the most of it. The reason why I say that I’m possessive is because yesterday I turned off both of our phones so no one could contact us. I was permanently attached to Jonny’s hip and a baby girl was permanently attached to mine.
date night May 24, 2008
Last night we went and saw the new Chronicles Of Narna movie. It was good, the first was better by far. Kylie slept through the entire movie. We didn’t hear a peep out of her. Jonny was tempted to wake her up so he could hold her. Its cute to see how much he misses his baby girl.
We had a good time last night. I’m glad to know that Kylie still does great in movie theaters. This makes it easier for Jonny and I to have date nights while we are here.
Bed Time May 23, 2008
Jonathan was top sales rep of the office yesterday! He is off to a great start.
Kylie is in a new bed time routine-
5pm- walk in the stroller
6:15- Dinner (turkey, peas, carrots and rice crackers)
7- Bath
7:20- baby lotion massage and dressed in pj’s
7:30- story and scriptures
7:45- 8 oz of formula
7:55pm- bed time!!!
She still gets up twice during the night. Her pediatrician says that she should be sleeping through the night. We are still struggling with that. Hopefully this new routine will work a little bit better. I have to be dedicated or she will never get to the point of sleeping all night.
New Sounds May 20, 2008
Today while I was unpacking I heard Kylie in the living room saying “da da da da ba ba ba ba” She makes these sounds to get mommy’s attention. Every time I hear her, I scoop her up in my arms and give her big kisses. What can I say? She has mommy wrapped around her finger.
Chicago! May 20, 2008
We made it whoo hooo!!!! We are staying in a great community/mini resort. The amenities are amazing, there is a grocery store, lodge, ski hill, 6 volleyball courts, golf course, 3 tennis courts, 4 pools, errand master, movie rentals, fishing, boating, massage therapist and every morning in a room next to the mailboxes there is free breakfast. We feel like we are living in a hotel. When is gets hot enough, we are going ice blocking down the ski hill. Everyone is going to think we’re nuts.
Jonny starts work today 
we are going to miss him. On the bright side, we have sooooo much to do to keep busy. The next 3 months will fly by.
Here are some pictures of us on the road
Chicago Here We Come! May 17, 2008
We left for Chicago Thursday afternoon. We spent the night at my sister, her house is so nice! We are currently in Nebraska in a hotel.
Kylie did well, we are all doing great
More updates when we get to Chicago!!!!
Getting so big! May 12, 2008
Kylie is now officially rolling over from her back to her tummy!! The past month we tried to encourage her to do this by putting a toy above her head, she would have to shift her body to get it. Eventually she would end up rolling over. Now she’s a pro!
Her favorite thing is still jumping. We stand her up on our laps and shes goes crazy bouncing up and down. Its really fun to watch Nammy (Jonathan’s mom) hold her, I think that is when she jumps the most.
My First Mothers Day May 12, 2008
My mothers day was very eventful. I have a husband and a baby who are very sick with a nasty cold. I was up almost all night trying to console Kylie and getting Jonathan to take some medicine so he would get some sleep.
This morning I wake up to find a bouquet of homemade flowers on the table. They were made from brightly colored rubber foam and artificial stems. Hidden inside of them were DVDs, the 3rd season of The Office and Juno. Another flower was sitting next to the vase that turned out to be a rash guard bathing suit that I mentioned of wanting last summer
My husband is so sweet! He had to take work off because he was so ‘blah’ yet he still found time to make me a wonderful Mothers Day gift.
Even though we are all a bunch of sickies, my first Mothers Day was AWESOME!
