always on the go, loves her swing.

We have been soo busy this last month, the time has just flown by, I would like to say that now that summer is coming to an end things will slow down but unfortunately that isn't the case. I have just accepted a new job offer at a preschool/daycare center. I will be working a 40+hr week and have given up all the vacations and snowdays that come with a regular teaching job, not by choice. The job opppurtunties for elementary teachers around here suck so I was forced to take whatever job I could find. Everyone says it will get easier to leave my baby and that it will be good for both of us but today leaving my friend Veronica's house after our visit and the realization hit me that in a 1 1/2 weeks I will be leaving my baby there 5 days a week for most of the day had me balling my eyes out all the way home. Maybe I'm just not met to work, maybe I'm supposed to stay home have babies, do the housework and fix the hubby dinner. We'll see how this goes, I'm already broken hearted just thinking about it. This past Wednesday my sweet little chunker munker turned 5 months old!!! She weighs 17lb 8oz and is 26 in. long!!!! She is growing like crazy. She has started eating baby food too, she has her cereal at night with some fruit and 1/2 jar of veggies at lunch and the rest at dinner. She would probably try to eat off our plates too is she could reach them. She has discovered her toes and they are her new favorite play thing!! Last Thursday Piper has her 1st accident and mommy had her 1st heart attack, in the mornings Piper always sleeps in her swing, while mommy was getting ready Piper decided she had enough of the swing and decided to get out, mommy found her crying on the floor under the swing!!!!! After the intitial shock and sudden urge to puke, I picked her up and she stopped crying and smiled at me! She's fine and is now locked down whenever she's in her swing!!! We are looking forward to making the most of the last week of our summer vacation!!!

A Special Day

On Saturday night, July 31st, we had Piper Joyce baptized at Holy Family Catholic Church in Vernon. Our parents, grandparents, Godparents and brothers and sisters came out to celebrate with us. Piper was an angel in church and she didn't even cry or get upset when Deacon Niles poured the water on her head. Everyone came back to our house for pizza and cake after. We had such a great time and the party went off without a hitch! These are just a few photos from Piper's special day!

Whata week of Firsts!!!

What an amazing week of firsts it has been for miss Piper!!! On Friday, July 16th Piper has her first taste of cereal. She wasn't so sure about it and after about 3 tastes she had had enough and got really mad, I mean really mad!!! Then Sunday, July 18th, she rolled over for the first time!! I was the only one who saw her, her daddy had run down to his dad's for a minute, we had been watching her all afternoon and she got soo close numerous times but waited for her daddy to leave before she would actually roll over. On Friday, July 23rd, she had her 4 month check up, she is doing great and now weighs 15lb 8oz and is 25 inches long, watch out cousin Rylee she is catching up fast!!! The shots this month were not so great and have left a small red welt on each leg, I have been watching her closely and she is doing better now and the welts have almost disappeared. On Saturday, July 24th, we took Piper on her first road trip to visit gramma and grandpa K and Aunt Rachel, Aunt Laura and Aunt Becca up at camp at Nick's Lake. Piper did soo great on the ride up, especially after daddy had to make so many stops to pick up supplies for grandpa. We had a good time up at camp and are looking forward to next year when Piper is a little bigger and we can spend the night. This is going to be come a yearly tradition to take Piper to camp (she was with us last year when we went but only Kurt and I knew hehe). On Sunday July 25th, I made Piper laugh out loud for the first time!! It was so funny and am looking forward to hearing this baby laugh all the time. I just love her soo much and am so blessed to be able to stay home with her this summer and witness her amazing accomplishments!! Ohh I almost forgot I knew there was another first, on Saturday, July 17th, I went with grammie and Poppi and unkie gogo and took Piper to her first parade!!! Her daddy and grandpa Ed were in Camden's parade for the Fireman's Field Days that was doing on that weekend. Grandpa Ed drove his proprane truck in the parade and daddy threw candy out!! Piper loved the parade and didn't even get scared or cry when the firetrucks beeped their horns!!
right after she rolled over for the 1st time.

first time in a mud puddle, only poppi could get away with this

at her 1st parade, she really like the parade although this expression would never let you know!!
