Daddy's genes

My Granny in Kentucky sent us this picture of daddy....and I was amazed! We're even making the same facial expression :)

And here's another picture that my mommy says looks like daddy (especially if I had some hair on my chest!) Apparently daddy doesn't have a camo onesie, but we're looking for one he can wear so we can be twinkies!

Showin' off the genes!

There's no doubt about it, I definitely look like daddy. Even when my big sister sees baby pics of daddy she says, "that's baby k-bum!".

I mean look at me and daddy's beautiful blue eyes!!!

No more toothless grins!!!

Well, my parents and daycare teachers were telling me for weeks that they thought I was teething. Turns out my first tooth broke through this weekend! It's still too small to take a picture, but my mommy said she'd post one as soon as possible!

On top of that, guess what else I'm doing? That would be rolling over from my back to my stomach! I'm a little behind my big sister (who started rolling over around 3.5 months old), but I guess that's what happens when you weigh 18 pounds (which is more than what my big sister weighed at 1 year!).

Weekend at Nana and Papaw's

What's up my home-dogs?? I'm just chillin' with my Nana in my new camo hat...

A day at the park!

I went to the park close to Nana & Papaw's house and I went down my very first slide and very first swing ride! I had so much fun!! But I'm pretty sure Aunt Kowee and Yoya (that's what my sister calls herself) had more fun than I did :)

Eating and Talking!!!

I have hit so many milestones lately!!! I'm eating cereal and baby food. My mom calls me a chunker monker because I eat 5 bottles 8oz bottles plus 2 cans of baby food and 2 big bowls of cereal every day! I'm like a little bird when I eat now and my parents can't shovel food in mouth fast enough!!!
















I'm also talking/jibber jabbing like crazy and I'm rolling over too! Sometimes with my big sister's assistance. My mommy will put me on my tummy and Magnolia will come along and push me over onto my back while saying, "look mommy, Kbum roll over!"

Easter

Well, it's Easter weekend and I'm getting ready to go Easter egg hunting! It's going to take a lot of energy, so I'm in much need of a nap prior to the extravaganza.












Here are mine and Magnolia's Easter baskets. And my Nana and Papaw decorated the backyard so cute for the Easter Bunny!
















I had to have an outfit change after my nap. I generally go through 3 or 4 outfits because I usually have some sort of explosion 3 times a day!

I'm getting so big!

I'm four months old now....and I'm getting so big! How cute are my little Converse shoes?




















I went for my 4 month check up at the doctor and I weigh close to 17 lbs already! My older sister weighed this much at her 1 year check up.
I was generally in the 60th percentile for all my measurements, but my head circumference was in the 90th percentile!! I'm told I take after my daddy :)

Visit with Pappaw

Pappaw came to visit me all the way from Tennessee around Easter time. When we picked him up at the airport, I was completely exhausted!!

















But I finally woke up and got to meet and spend some much needed time with my Pappaw

Random pictures of my cuteness!

Feeling so much better!

Well, when I was about 6 weeks old, I broke out into hives and was diagnosed with a milk allergy. Mommy tried to cut out dairy from her diet, but there's dairy in almost everything! So my doctor said that I needed a special formula (which means very expensive). My parents second guessed the doctor's "suggestion" and tried every other kind of formula on the market....gentle, sensitive, reduced lactose, and soy. Nothing ever worked and I was constantly crying and had horrible eczema. Any time I was awake I was crying....which mommy and daddy just thought was colic. Finally, they broke down and got me the expensive hypoallergenic formula. Turns out I feel soooo much better!!! I'm finally cooing and smiling all the time...it's like I'm a new baby!

First week at daycare....

Well, this was my first week at daycare and away from mommy. It wasn't that much fun though. The first couple of days I barely slept...maybe 30 minute naps during the day. So when mommy picked me up, I was absolutely exhausted and would sleep when I got home around 5pm and wouldn't wake up until 5:30am! Mommy would still feed me a couple of times during the evening while I was sleeping though. Then on Wednesday night, disaster struck! Daddy just happened to be walking past my room when he heard me making choking sounds. I had thrown up all over my crib. I had done this before on this formula, so mommy and daddy didn't suspect anything and tried to feed me again.....and of course I got sick again. Turns out I had my very first case of the stomach flu :( I wasn't able to keep anything down on Thursday and mommy kind of freaked out because I wasn't peeing. So I also had my first emergency room visit that night as well! Of course right when I got to the hospital I finally had a wet diaper (which means my dehydration was getting better), so the doctor held us there for a while to make sure I kept some pedialyte down. The next day mommy got the stomach flu so Magnolia and I stayed at Nana and Papaw's house. And of course Nana and my Aunt Melanie were loving on me so much the entire weekend that they got the stomach flu too! All in all, the first week of daycare was pretty rough...for me and my family!

More visitors

I'm so popular! I had visitors from Florida for 3 straight weeks!!! It was so nice! Mommy especially enjoyed it because Mimi and Aunt Jenne helped with night duty so mommy was able to get some rest.
Here I am with my cousins Austin and Alexia.















Here I am with my Mimi.

Here I am with my Aunt Jenne.

Now I'm hanging out with the boys...daddy, Austin, and Papa.....

...and of course Grandpa!

Wow....look at these good lookin' fellas!

Here I am with my very first girlfriend, London (she's about a month older than me). Her brother is Hudson, Magnolia's friend. I may look scared....but I'm just playing hard to get!
