Birthday Madness

Well Keiani is 1! Can you beleive it?! I can't this last year has flown by so fast. Keiani had a great time at her party and we all loved seeing every one again. For those of you who missed the cake you definately left to early. Keiani tore into it like a pro. She went face first and it didnt stop there. For the next 30 minutes she tore that cake apart frosting from head to toe. It was so funny.

The joys of turning one dont stop there. I think someone forgot to tell her that turning one isnt all fun and games and forward facing car seats you also get shots. She got 4 shots on Friday poor girl. She was a trooper though and hardly cried at all. That was one of the hardest times I've had with them though. She gave me such a look of betrayl. It broke my heart.

We did get new messurements though and Keiani is weighing in at 24lbs and is 31in tall. She in the 85% for weight, 98% for height and 85% for head size. Our beautiful girl is growing up. Makes me so sad that "babyhood" is over but I'm looking forward to all the fun we will have in ToddlerTown.

And so it begins

Our little girl is growing up! She decided that she was to old for naps and is now taking 1 nap in the afternoon instead of 2. But she is going to sleep about an hour earlier and is sleeping from 9pm to 7:30-8:00am YEAH! It's been a real treat to sleep all night.And... Keiani has a potty now as you can see from the picture she has yet to use it properly (she peed next to it yesterday) but eventually we will get there :)

Busy, Busy, Busy

So Alot has happened in the week and a half since the last post:

• Keiani is currently working on 5 new teeth all top teeth. So its been one crazy, fussy 2 weeks but she finally slept through the night last night after a week of waking by midnight.


• My cousin Katrina and her little girl Paycience are no longer staying with us. After alot of work and love she decided that returning to her abusive, drug dealling boyfriend was a much better idea. Please pray for them.


• Keiani has a new cousin, Andrew's sister Michelle had a beautiful little girl Taeya Bennett.


• As for Andrew and I we celebrated our aniversary this last weekend, and yes we still love each other :)


• We are planning our trips to Nova Scotia and Edmonton. Yeah Vacation!!


• I have been really busy with work. there have been alot of move outs which means Apt. that need cleaning.

I hope eveyone else has a stress free, care free and happy weekend! Monday will sneak up on you fast!

Peek-a-boo

Keiani has a peek-a-boo tooth. We saw this illusive tooth yesterday. It poked it little white tip out yesterday then swelled over. Oh it makes for fun conversation with her though. Heres a tastey sampling. Me: "How are you today Keiani?" Keiani's reply: "Whaaaaaaaaaaaa!" It's really fun. Maybe tomorrow they will all come out and stay then teething will be over. I'll tell you sometimes I think labor was much more fun :)

Baby Blues

Poor Keiani. As I mentioned before Keiani has a house guest. Her slightly older cousin Paycience is staying with us for a while and they have come to the conclusion that they dont like each other. Or they like each other to much its hard to say.

The difference is Keiani is used to playng with either children her own age or children older then her that are much sweeter and understand sharing. Paycience has really only been exposed to children older with whom she has to fight to keep possesion of her toys. We have all learned that this is not a good combination. Its a constant battle to keep Paycience away from Keiani since every time Keiani picks up a toy or food or a cup Paycience steals it and Keiani cries. Our hopes are up that they might reach an understanding of each other. Paycience will learn to share and not be so jealous and Keiani will not be so sensitive. My poor girl. I feel so bad for her.

Oh on a lighter note Keiani is sooooo smart she did her cat sign today! We have been doing kitty with her for months and today she looked right at Dharma and did cat like 4 times it was so cute! So now she is doing cat, more, all done, milk, water and daddy. Yeah Keaini!!! She is also eating like a pig. Just this week she has almost doubled the amount of solids that she is eating and has really cut down on how much she wants to nurse. I kinda miss it I think because its a true sign that she is growing up. Oh and she has mastered drinking from a cup, not a sippy cup but a real cup she just has to learn not to give the cat so many drinks. :)

Bye bye for now I'l l update you on the David and Galliath story soon...

Here comes the sun...

I love it, I love it, I love it!!! Keiani and I have been spending so much time out side we practically live out side now. I think we actually only went inside for naps the past 2 days. It's been Fabulous!

We currently have an extra baby in the house. My cousin is staying with us for a few days untill she gets on her feet again (long story). Untill then Keiani has a new friend who just happens to be only 3 months older than her. She is loving it so far at least she is when they aren't trying to play with the same toy. I think we may take her to the park when I get done working today. You know show her the sites.

So here's to sunny skies and happy babies! :)

Obama for my Mamma

So I've been watching the news lately and as all of you have probably noticed it all seems to center around the impending election. Lets just get this out there, I am a democrat and I beleive that we need some one new in office, someone that can and will change things for the better. Change our health care our social security and really change the situation in Iraq. I beleive that Senater Obama will do this. I think the polls have shown that a vast majority of people beleive the same thing.
My issue is that there has been alot of Democrats that have come out and said that if it comes down to Obama and McCain they will vote for McCain regardless of what political party they belong to or wether or not they share his views on pollicy. Their reason... Because he is black. Really people are we still in that place?
There has also been an overwhelming amount fraud mail being sent out claiming that Obama is Muslim. Not only is that not true but 1. since when did we incorporate religion and state? 2. There is nothing wrong with being muslim there are extremist in every religion.
I still can't believe that people beleive everything they hear. The emails are not true. Stop buying into what closed minded people tell you!
I hope that when election day comes people will forget what race or sex our candidates are and simply vote for the best person for the job.
