Walking what?!

I am going to have a little bragging moment because I am so very proud of my little punkin! Daylynn has been walking by holding on to hands and even taking steps here and there. Well now she walks everywhere! To the kitchen, across the living room, to the bathroom, all over! It is by far the sweetest thing ever! When she is jabbering away while walking is even better! Daylynn you smart little girl you! 10 months and walking! Yay!

5 on Friday



 

 

Wellll, I must be in a blogging mood this week because this will make 3 blogs in 2 days!

I'm back again for the 5 on Friday...it's been a long while!

 

-ONE-

 

Birthdays! This past Wednesday was my hubby's birthday!  He's pretty easy to celebrate for! I cooked some Ribs, which are his favorite, and we hung out and watched TV.  His parent's brought over a DQ Ice Cream cake later in the evening too.  It's not his favorite dessert, but I think it might be one of mine :)  You know I'll be eating the leftovers all weekend! YUM!

 

 

-TWO-

 

Long Weekends!

I love it when we have 3 day weekend! It's even better when it involves your family and friends! As previously posted, Daylynn was baptized Saturday night so our family was in town to help celebrate our little blessed baby!

-THREE-

Green Smoothies!

You could probably say I'm addicted to these!  I'm pretty sure I've prevously had this in a 5 on Friday but they are so dang good! Pretty easy to make as well!  I have been making this every morning for Patrick and I for breakfast.  Daylynn sometimes helps me drink it too!

 

-FOUR-

Insanity/Gym

I have been extremely motivated these last few weeks with getting fit! I have been a crazy person and going to the gym at 5 every morning!!! It really has been perfect since Daylynn is still sleeping and by the time I pick her up from Daycare, I am limited on time to go work out at the gym.  I have; however, been also doing insanity in the afternoons as soon as we get home.  It's just the right amount of time to get a workout in and then start supper.  Daylynn enjoys the work out videos too!  Sometimes I have extra weight because I hold her when she is wanting her momma.  Feeling the burn!

 

-FIVE-

Big Brother

I'm almost embarrassed to put this one because it truly is a ridiculous show, but I can't get enough of it!  I have to watch it every night its on.  If I miss it because of softball or something, you better believe I'm researching who was kicked out or put up on the block haha!!

I have not however watched them outside of what is aired on the show, and people must really do that if they offer it so I'm not the worst one out there! haha

 

 

 

Hope you all have a fabulous Friday!!!

 

10 months...

10 months old?! Really!? It can't be so!  You have 2 months until you are ONE years old!! That doesn't seem possible at all!

Well lets update everyone on your latest happenings...

 

Weight: 20 lbs 4 oz.-

(You are starting to slow down on the gaining weight which is probably because you don't sit still one bit!)

Height: not positive one this but last we checked you were still average at 50% for your age.

 

Milestones:

• TEETH: You have a mouth full of teeth! You have 8 teeth I last checked and working on some more.
• Crawling like a mad woman: you still prefer to crawl because it is way faster to get around when you crawl compared to walking.
• Adventurous: You are getting more brave when it comes to walking.  You are up to 3 steps on your own now! YAY baby girl!  This morning you were pretty much running for those 3 steps so I am not sure if you are just going to start running first or walking.
• Putting things into containers: At your last doctors visit they said you were doing things a 1 year old does, and one of those things is putting things inside a bucket or cup and dumping them out and starting the process over again.   The other day you took daddys cup and started finding all your pacifiers in the living room and putting them in the cup.  You also put your toys in a bucket and pull them out and again and again.  It is so awesome to see that brain working and you being so smart!!
• Drinking out of a real cup: this is only if we put a very small amount of water in it but you LOVE to think you are such a big girl and drinking out of a cup for real! It's hilarious!  You also sometimes help mom drink her green smoothie in the mornings too.
• Eating like a champ!: You only eat baby oatmeal and drink bottles, otherwise you are all table food!  It makes my life much easier just tearing up food for you or you coming up and eating off our plates.  You love everything! You especially love cheese, chicken nuggets, and hot dogs.  They say to not give you hot dogs but I do and you love them.
• Dancing like no ones business: You got moves Daylynn!  You hear a song and you just start dancing.  It can range from dropping it like its hott or just swaying back and forth.  Either way, it's amazing!  You also love to 2-step with mom or dad in the morning when we watch CMT while getting ready. 
• Giggles:  You giggle and laugh ALL the time, when your not screaming that is-more on that next-  You also just laugh when you hear people laughing or just for the heck of it.  It's too dang cute.
• Screaming:  Sometimes when you are getting hungry or super tired and I'm busy cooking or doing something you don't just fuss you straight up scream as loud and high pitched as possible.  You know it works so that's why you still do it.  Such a stinker :)  I was telling my mom and she didn't believe me but by golly I got it on camera during bath time once. haha
• Jabber: You have started to talk a lot more.  Before it was a lot of ma da ba things, now were getting into the jabbers where it makes no sense at all.  You love to hum and sing as well.--Music is your thing, clearly.  You wave bye-bye all the time and are saying Hi and Bye or sounds pretty darn close anyways.  You also mock us sometimes.  If we say yea, you say ya, and the same with the hi and bye.
• Wagon Wheel:  Yes the song, you are obsessed with this song.  I play it on my phone for you to keep you occupied when you start to get bored if we are at the store or even at home for that matter.  It is on repeat and you just dance and giggle and LOVE it.  Now if the song comes on the radio or on TV you instantly stop whatever you were babbling about or playing with an zone into the song and get dancing.  You are such a silly girl, I'm amazed how much you love it.
• Monster: not the energy drink but that's your nickname at daycare from the kids, and they mean it in a good way.  One of her favorite games is being chased around or doing the chasing.  She likes to chase the kids around and they pretend she's the monster getting them! Too cute!  She just gets so excited and giggles and has that excited shrieking scream going on.
• SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT: I think you've been doing this for longer than a month but it is GLORIOUS to be able to sleep all night too! You sleep in on the weekends and if nothing just hang out in your crib chatting away until we come in!  You rock Daylynn!

So many changes from the little bitty baby you once were.  Your personality is really shining right now and its such a great one! You are loved by so many people, and you love so many people! You bring smiles to everyone's faces, especially your parents'.  We continue to say this but we truly are blessed with a perfect to us little baby!  You are so fun, so lovable, so happy, so on and so on little girl!  I feel like it was yesterday we were in the hospital admiring our newborn, and now your 10 months! It makes me cry at how beautiful, smart, and caring you are!  You're going to do big things in life, I can already tell!  We're pretty proud of you girlfriend! :)

Love you bunches little miss Daylynn!

 

 
 

 

Child of God

This past Saturday night our precious baby girl was baptized!

We should have done this sooner, but we finally decided on a church.  We wanted a smaller service so chose a Saturday evening.  Labor Day weekend was a perfect weekend so that our family was able to make it in from out of town.  Devin, Patrick's brother, is the Godfather, and my sister, Jess, is the Godmother of Daylynn.  My parents, siblings, and grandma made it for the service.  Patrick's parents live in Great Bend so this wasn't a hard task to make it :)  Then my good friends in Great Bend Vicki, Nicholl, Kylee and her family came too.

Daylynn wore an adorable white gown with a yellow stitched cross on it, a yellow head band, and an extremely special gift from her Great Great Grandma Day who she is named after.  She wore a necklace with her birthstone.  She didn't mess with her necklace at all!

Daylynn did really well during the service, normally she is in the nursery so we were a little curious how this was going to work.  She also did well during the baptism, she wasn't thrilled about getting water poured on her (this isn't new considering she still freaks out a little when washing her hair), and she was trying to pull off his hand when he was blessing her.  When she tried to pry his hand off, it was pretty cute actually.

After the service, we all went back to Pattie's house and enjoyed a scrumptious meal.  It was so nice to have all our family in town and some friends.  We appreciated all those that came and truly feel blessed to have such a wonderful family and our precious baby girl!

Daylynn is 10 months tomorrow, so will be updating on her then :)
