Family visit

Nana Terry, Aunt Janette, Uncle Franke, and Cousins Ciara, Abby and Eli came for a visit.  We were so lucky that Franke had a small break in which they were able to make the trip up here.  We had such a great time and can't wait to see them again.  (Janette, I still stand by what I said and will be happy to take the kids :)  )

Many of my family may remember Janette as the little girl across the street.  Janette is Josie's sister, and is the youngest.  Because I had Josie and David had Jo-Jo (their brother) poor Janette was left out many times.  Now as a mother of three she is the go-to person if you have any baby questions.  Thanks Janette for all of your help, we really appreciate it.

 

 

Hey Ciara, are you ready to come back and babysit?  You are such a natural.

 

 

Zach came to drop off Gwen because I was babysitting her for the evening.

 

 

Climbing anyone?

 

 

 

Babysitting services available.  

Really though... I was also dog sitting for a friend and this is the dog's cage.  Logan took a bunch of stuff animals and went inside.  Next thing you know everyone wanted in.

 

 

The next day we went the Silverton pool.  Kassandra loves our hot tub at home, but this was a little to cold for her.  Still, as long as she was close to mommy all was good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wendy went to the room and took Kassandra with her since it was getting hot out.

Kassandra 2 month dr appointment

Kassandra had her 2 month doctor appointment today.  It went really well... right up until they gave her the shots.  She was not a happy baby, but what baby would be.
Kassandra now weighs in at 11 lbs 4 oz.  She is 23 inches long.  All of which is about average for her age.

Kassandra is just like her mommy and will only do what she wants to do, when she wants to do it.  For instance we have "tummy time" and does a great job of propping herself up with her arms and moving her head to one side or the other.  However if she is not in the mood for it she will either just lay there or scream.  We started going to playdates and so far she is sleeping through them.  It sometimes amazes me how she can sleep through so much noise but it's a good thing because then I don't have a cranky baby.  She loves to smile and when she does it just melts our heart.  She still doesn't like to be naked (not sure where she gets that from) and so every bath and/or changing is followed with lots of screaming.  Her favorite part of the day is when daddy comes home as she gets a break from me :)

So here she is at the doctor appointment waiting on the doctor.  As you can see she is not happy to be left waiting.

This picture was taken right before she was given her shots.  Poor thing has no idea what is coming but I am already comforting her.

This was right after her shots.  She was such a trooper and deserves a good bottle!!!

Overall Kassandra did very well with the shots.  She never needed the Tylenol but she did need lots of loving from mommy and daddy.  By the next day she was all smiles again.

Sorry no pictures!  This was how she felt a few hours later.

Father's Day Weekend

Rather than celebrating Tom's first Father's Day on Sunday we made a whole weekend out of it.  Saturday evening we went with some friends to Jazz by the Lake.  The one that we went to is out at Lake Las Vegas.  Kanssandra loves Jazz so this was a no brainer.  We brought drinks and snacks and had a great time.

Before we knew it you could not see any grass, just people.

Alexis and Harry

 All pooped out and ready to go home.

Wendy & David's baby shower

Kassandra and I went to Wendy and David's baby shower.  Tom wasn't able to attend in person because he had to work (it was on a Wednesday).  However he was able to be a part of everything because all of the games were done online, family and friends were able to watch them open up the gifts via the web, and most importantly I was able to bring home some of the cake so that Tom could try a piece on his day off.  It was a wonderful baby shower and we had a blast!

 

Although this was all about the arrival of London, we could not forget about the big brother so we got Logan a gift too.  I am not sure if he was more excited over the Mickey bag or the gift inside.

 

  

And now we return to our regularly scheduled program of gifts for London :)  

Family visit

Nana Terry, Aunt Josie, Uncle Jason and cousin's Jayvon and Jayden came for a visit.  Many of you on my side of the family know Josie as my best friend growing up.  They lived across the street from us.  They are our family.  They meet Kassandra and we got to meet Jayden who was born on April 26th.   The only problem was that I was so happy to see them I didn't take that many pictures.

Meet Harry

When Tom and I went to birthing class we meet another couple Alexis and James.  They had the same due date as we did.  We did not exchange numbers or anything but later wished that we did.  When we went to check into the hospital Alexis was walking the halls.  I guess it was meant to be that we become friends along with Kassandra and Harry becoming friends.  This was our first meet up since seeing one another at the hospital.  In addition it was me and Kassandra's first play date with our mommy and me group. 

Like Father Like Daughter

Although there is me somewhere in Kassandra (I don't see it) you can sure see everyone else.  She has my dad's eye color right now, which I hope stays that way.  To me she has my mom's scent.  Then there's Tom, she has his everything!  Eye shape, mouth, appetite, gas and even receding hair line (luckily she will get more hair in to cover this).  Then when Tom checked out the blog he said "Hey, she even has the same pose as me!"  Of course I had to go back and check it out and sure enough....
