6 months old cutie.

On sept. 15th our Kaylee Kay turned 6 months.  She is the funnest, sweetest little girl in the world.  I cannot explain the joy she brings to my heart.  Her personality is really starting to shine through & it is a Silly one.  She laughs at pretty much anything I do.  She constantly is smiling, which surely brings me pure happiness.  She is loving sitting up and playing with toys...and its been nice to be able to set her down and get things done while she plays.  She still is a cuddle bug who loves to be held.  I love it and never want that to stop.  There are some days we stay in our pjs and snuggle and watch movies all day...some of my very favorite days ever.  She also loves being outside,  I've recently been going walking in the mornings with a couple girlfriends in my culdesac & she loves it.  She also is a sleepy head like her mama.  I usually put her to bed about 9 pm and she usually doesn't wake till 7:30 then i feed her and lay her next to me and we sleep till 9ish.  It's fantastic.  We love SLEEP!! Lucky me.  She eats plain greek yogurt every morning and applesauce or mashed potatoes at night before bed.  She also loves water & Organic apple juice.  I still nurse her every 3-4 hours too.  She also snacks on yogurt buts & rice puffs.  She is a chubby girl.

weight: 17 lbs. 79%

heighth: 26 inces 29% shorty

head is 15 1/2  17%

she fits into anything 6-12 months.  But thinks are usually long on her. :) but her belly fits 12 month clothes haha.  I love this sweet pea more than words can describe and it grows more & more daily. 

Baby Catch up 4 & 5 months...

Soooo i have been so behind in my blogging. No real reason just being a lazy mom:) 

So at babies 4 month check up she was:

16 lbs.

24 inches

16 in head size.

At for months she has started to full on babble like insanely loud.  It's funny.  She likes to mimic my facial expressions.  She can roll over on both sides & scoot a little bit.  tried rice cereal a couple of times not a huge fan.  She is sleeping through the night & really is such a good baby. 

5 month old baby kaylee:

She is still rolling over but she finally rolled from her back to her belly!  She is still not a huge fan of baby food, but we recently gave her mashed potatoes and i think we got a winner:)  She is starting to sit up on her own...not all the way but very close, any day now.  She is the happiest, sweetest girl.  Her laugh is so amazing.  She loves weird noises & when I make silly faces.  She loves nakey time & dance time in the mornings. She loves to be held facing outward so she can be involved.  She doesn't like to take naps when there's things going on, wants to be part of the party.  She sleeps from 9-6 then goes back to better after feeding till about 9. Thank goodness...I am such a sleepy head.  She still likes her binky, and has really started liking toys.  She still loves music, especially when i sing( i have a horrible voice but she likes it.)  Thankfully she still loves morning cuddles & kisses. Loves when her dad comes home, I think she knows it's play time:) Life is getting even more fun everyday with this beauty. Lover her so much.

Oregon trip & Anniversary & birthday....

FINALLY, we got to go to Oregon to see my family and all of my sisters new babies! All of my sisters including my sister in law were pregnant with me, just all 1-3 months behind.  Such a fun thing.  It was so cool to all be able to talk about our pregnancies and have new babies together.  It was so great to see how cute the little cousins were all together.  It will be a blast when they grow up to all be close in age.  Baby girl did great on the plane.  She only fussed on the landing part on the way there because it was a bumpy, fast decent.  But I was so proud she did so great. Slept most the time.  It was so nice to just relax with my whole family for 9 days.  My parents were so in love with baby Kaylee.  She loved them back, especially grandpa.  We spent all night talking, eating, and playing games.  My parents have a huge backyard with a pool, trampoline and a little track to ride the four wheelers. All 12 grandkids were running around having the time of their lives.  Well not the babies of course. HA.  It was funny cause we all breastfeed & we all seemed to be on similiar schedules so we would all be on the porch with our little booby covers on feeding the babies.  It was awesome.  Zack my bro and I went golfing one day, which was really fun.  We also got to go to the Nike employee store and get sick Nike stuff for half off, Zack was dying with Joy!!! I can't wait to go back to Oregon, everytime i leave im so emotional.  I love my family more than anything.


July 9th was our 2 year anniversary!! I can't believe its been that long already, but yet it seems like we have been together forever.  We have been so lucky to have had the best 2 years.  We have never had that "tough first year or 2" as people say.  Truly been so blessed to have Zack.  We are such a good team.  I really could not have asked for a better husband or father to our daughter.  I wake up everyday so happy & content with my life.  And most of that reason is because I chose the right man to marry.  Every anniversary we watch our wedding video and bawl like babies.  I love it.  This year was extra special having our baby girl to celebrate with us.


My 23rd birthday was july 17th. We went to eat at tucanos then went shopping:)  It was such a great day.  Nothings better then being with your favorite people & getting some new stuff.

My girl turned 3 months on the 15th!!! It's gone by too fast:( I really miss the little body & sweet newborn phase.  But i will have to say that is has been so much fun lately.  She is the happiest, sweetest babes.  She is laughing everyday, almost all day.  She loves to play & kick and be in her bouncer.  Her sweet smiles and cuddles make everyday so amazing.  I really could not be happier with my life right now.  I'm a blessed mommy, and wife to the best man/daddy ever.

2 month old chunky girl.

Cannot believe my girl is 2 months already.  Craziness.  She is the sweetest thing.  Truly a special girl with the cutest dimpley bum:)  Okay so this past month has been so amazing.  She is so smiley and happy.  Her personality is starting to show and it is seriously so fun.  My favorite thing is her laugh.  On Mothers day morning we were getting her dressed for church and she just started laughing out of no where for like 5 minutes straight.  Her shoulders were bouncing up and down and she was just hysterically laughing,  the best mothers day present i could of asked for.  Zack and I were laughing/crying cause it was so cute.  She has really started to know our voices,  she gets so happy when she hears her dad come in from work.  Her head is getting strong and she tries to stand up.  She loves lights and music.  Still loves to stick her tongue out & play with it.  She is a hyper little girl.  I love it.  Everyday is getting more and more fun.  I am so thankful for this sweet thing in my life.

Kaylee...the significance behind the name.

Kaylee Kay Nelson.  My sweet baby girl.  You are named after your beautiful Aunt Kaylee Kathy.  She was you mommies sister, but not just a typical sister.  She was my best friend in the world.  We were like twins, stuck at the hip our whole lives.  We had a very special unique bond.  We spent almost all of our time together laughing.  She was especially witty,  her humor was one of a kind.  I would laugh till i would literally be sick to my stomach.  She would dance around everywhere, make weird noises, and sing the all day.  She was such a joy to be around.  She was also the loyalist person i have ever met.  If she loved you she would do anything for you.  There were many times she stuck up for me.  She never let others talk bad about me or our family.  But she also was so kind , and accepting of others.  She had friends from everywhere she went.  Her beauty was radiant,  her smile was so contagious.  She had a strong faith in God.  She knew that he had a plan for her & that the church was true.  Her testimony was always a great example for me, even though i was the older sister.  I was so lucky to have her for those 16 years. 

When i lost your aunt Kaylee in the car accident, it was the worst day of my life.  I couldn't fathom the reality of not being able to see her again on this earth.  The pain was honestly to much to carry for me alone....i struggled with who i was & what i believed in.  I felt so alone.  Even though i had a great family who loved me.  I had a huge hole in my heart.  I didn't know how to live without my best friend.  But then i turned to my father in heaven who helped me deal with the pain.  He sent your daddy to save me.  I felt joy again when i was with your dad.  He has been the biggest blessing, besides you.  

I know before you came down to this earth you & her were best buds.  I know she was so excited for you to come down here and be my daughter.  Sharing lots of great stories of us.  You are so blessed to have her as an aunt.  I know without a doubt she loves you.  That she is trying to help you in anyway from the other side.  You guys will have a special connection because of your name.  You will learn to honor her & love her as i do.  But you will also be your own person.  I want you to grow and become a beautiful woman.  Gaining your own strengths & talents.  But i want you to have her also to look up too.  I have always said i was going to name my daughter Kaylee & she always said she would name her daughter Chiami.  It seems so silly, but that's how we were with each other.  It was not silly or weird to us.  I knew when we found out you were a girl that you were going to be Kaylee Kay.  What a special and sweet girl you are.  You have brought so much joy to my life.  You have helped heal my hole in my heart,  it will never be completely whole until i get to heaven and see her again but you have been such a blessing.  I am so honored to be your mother.  You will be such an amazing young woman.  I will love you & tell you how special you are everyday.

I hope you will feel blessed to have your aunts name.  That you will know how special she is & how special you are. I love you sweet daughter.

One month old!!

Baby girl turned 1 month old on Sunday!!  Wow how time has gone by, it seems like yesterday that we were bringing her home.  This has been an amazing, fun month for us.  Our baby girl is the sweetest thing.  She barely ever cries unless she's hungry, but even them it's like a whimper.  She even has had a cold but still is such a happy girl.  She has the cutest strawberry blond hair & big blue eyes. Her fingers & toes are long, so i guess she will be able to climb good...haha.  Her faces she make are super funny.  I would say she gets that from me cause I can make some hideous/ weird faces:)  She also farts a lot, and there loud...it's hilarious, even Zack thinks there funny!  Zack is totally mesmerized/obsessed with this darling girl.  He takes like 20 pics & video a day....so needless to say we got plenty of footage of her.  He is such a help to me which is so nice.  We just love to lay with her and talk to her all night.  She also loves her car seat & loves going in the car.  So we go shopping, dinner all sorts of stuff.  So it's nice cause we are always getting out!  I love being a mom.  Having this little side kick with me is seriously the best.  She has a very sweet special spirit. I'm so blessed to have such a sweet little family.
