11 Months

Remmi is 11.5 months old right now and JUST started crawling a few days ago. We didn't know if she would ever figure it out, lol. She gets around pretty quick now which results in me getting less done and having to watch her VERY closely. She was playing in a pile of cords that were plugged into the wall today... whoops!

She still has no teeth but I hear that the longer it takes them to come in, the better teeth they have. I'll cross my fingers for now. Right now she just gums all of her food to death. HAHAHA! She likes to eat anything and everything (hence the chubby rolls). Her favorites are: Multi grain cheerios, breakfast bars, any kind of fruit, yogurt and pasta. I just introduced whole milk into her diet but feel like it might be giving her a tummy ache so I've held off for now. I take her to the doctor in a couple of weeks so I'll see what he has to say about it.

Hendrix and Remmi are total buddies and get to so excited to see each other. Hendrix is ADORABLE with her, it makes me happy to see them love each other so much. She looks for him whenever he's not around, smiles as soon as he walks in the room, giggles when he does something funny and loves to steal his toys. He's so good to share with her, talk to her and carry her around (she doesn't love that part too much).

Remmi's birthday is in 2 weeks and I'm super excited to throw her a little party. I can't belive my baby is one, it's soooo weird. She's (we've all) been through SO much this year. Remmi has lived in 3 different houses, been to 3 funerals, a wedding and to Hawaii. She's such a trooper and has been so great with all of the changes. We love her to pieces!

10 months

Playing catch up! Here we go....



10 Months Old! Remmi is such a delight right now. She still isn't crawling but manages to get around by getting on her knees, swiveling around than sitting back down. She still growls when she gets excited about something, it's adorable. We call her "The Grizz" "Remmikins" and "Remmi Grill" (Hendrix calls her that).

 

9 months

I'm 11 days late taking these pictures and posting them. Slacker Mom. We've been super busy finding a house and finding furniture, which has pretty much consumed my mind lately. Luckily, we did find an amazing house and some super cute furniture! I'll post more about that later. As for now, I get to post some adorable pictures of my baby. She's pretty much the cutest thing ever.

This is her newest trick. She claps her hands when we say, "Yaaaayyyy!" It's so cute!

 She saw a bird out the window and was fascinated by it.

And she loves to put EVERTHING in her mouth, including my lense cover.

One of those days....

Since I'm in blogging mode I would like to record the events that occured today. I like to remind myself and everyone else out there that motherhood is a challenge, it's hard and I am far from being perfect. Some days are my favorite with lot's of fun, memories, snuggles, giggles and much more. Other days I just want to lock myself in the bathroom and cry. Today was one of those "lock yourself in the bathroom" kind of days.

Favorite moment of the day: Walking into the library, excited to have some fun with my buddy and get some new books.

Least favorite moment of the day: Walking out of the library 3 minutes later with a crying baby on my hip, dragging my hysterical 4 year old to the car while everyone stares at me. You throw tantrums at the library, you leave the library immediately.

Favorite comment of the day: "Maybe you're not eating enough." I don't want to expand any further on this. Okay?

Shocking moment of the day: Getting an e-mail saying that I've purchased $300.00 worth of "hints" for some car game on my phone. I am still recovering from the mini heart attack I had. What am I going to do with my 4 year old?

Remmi getting shots at the doctor's office didn't make the day any better. A grumpy, tired 9 month old topped the night off.

Christmas Baking

After looking through all of my cell phone pics, I found some more Christmas moments. Here is Hendrix making/decorating cookies for Santa. He wrote a special "letter" to put on Santa's cookies.

 

We made a ginger bread train this year together! Way fun! Hendrix loved puting all of the tiny candies on the train, he even snuck a few and ate them. Silly boy.

Christmas 2012

Well, I suck. I haven't blogged about Christmas yet. BLURG! Here we go!

 

Christmas was pretty low key this year. Since we're living at Judy's house, I didn't put any decorations up, just our little tree. I love our tree. Hendrix was soooo excited for Christmas this year. He had looked forward to it for months. We put our cookies and milk our for Santa, carrots for his reindeer and went to sleep. He came into our room on Christmas morning and hung out in our bed for at least 30 minutes (not realizing Santa had come) before we finally told him there were presents under the tree and that Santa had come. lol. Silly boy!

 

Later that morning we went over to my Mom's house for Christmas brunch. YUM! I love Christmas brunch.

 

So excited about his new presents.

Remmi just wanted to eat the wrapping paper.

 

 

 

 

Christmas night is spent with the Kemps every year. Sadly, my camera battery died after I took these pictures of Hendrix and Brandon playing with Hendrix's new "Hex bugs." We had lot's of fun that night though! Good food, good company and some Kemp love!

Going Private

Since I don't blog regularly anymore and no one really reads my blog anymore.... I decided I should probably make it private. It's more of a journal for me anyway. If you're interested in still viewing our blog, send me your e-mail address and I'll add you to the privilaged list.  =)
