Ever since Kaylee was born we have been trying to get her to take a bottle. With Landen, i nursed and bottlefed him formula from the time he was born. With Kaylee, i was strickly nursing with the occationally try of Daddy feeding her milk from a bottle to let me rest at night. Every once in a great while she would take a little but not enough to make it count as a meal. So we had finally given up. Until recently i started giving her sippy cups of juice just to play with, and that's all she did with it, just chewed on it and got a little juice each time. Then i told Warren, that's it, i'm done. I can't nurse anymore. Nursing with 8 teeth and a very loud 3 year old catching the attention of Kaylee every 10 seconds of nursing, yeah just wasn't happening!
(i doubled my time with Landen so i was okay with that) I started giving her a bottle and it took all of a day and a half and she is now on a bottle!! HOOOOOOORAAAAY!!! I was so completely excited the first bottle she sucked down dry!! I literally wanted to throw a party!!! So for now, for my sake, Kaylee is nursing for breakfast and then for a bedtime snack... and that's only because Kaylee and i are the only ups at that time and she can eat in peace!
I was really dreding trying to wean her but wanted so badly to have her completely weaned before our vaca next month. And boy and am excited to have her on a bottle!! Its amazing how much time you can have when you're not nursing every few hours. If you know me at all, you know i am not one that can just SIT, i have to be doing something. Warren and i will watch a movie and i fold laundry, or make something yummy to eat, or scrapbook. I'm just not one to sit.
Kaylee turned 10 months on Friday! She is soooo big!! She still refuses to crawl, shes just not going to. Shes standing up on everything, she will sit up on her own while being on the floor scootin' around. She tries so hard to walk. So we just figure she's going to get up and walk away one day. Landen was crawling by 9 months, walking by 11 months, and Kaylee just like to roll!! And i'm TOTALLY okay with that!! :-)
We have had an extremely busy week and another busy week ahead of us!!
We saw lots of movies at the Free Family Film Festival, which landen LOVES going to see them!! Our friend Neilsen and Jo even went with us! We spent 5 1/2 hrs at Roaring Springs with Millers and Landen has NOT stopped talking about how he went to the water park with Madison, Madallyn and Connor. Kiki, Telli, Tessa, Warren and I took Landen to float Indian Creek on Saturday (with all 200 other people) at first he was really scared (i think me yelling slightly didn't help down the white water) he said, "okay i'm done now, lets go home" but after a little while he was having fun! He definately enjoyed having his aunts go with him. He sat between Warren and I on our 4 man boat which was really fun! We bought it YEARS ago and finally used it for the first time! lol! Susan had Kaylee almost all day saturday, while we floated the creek, then she came out to own house to watch both kiddos and put them to sleep while Warren, Larry, Tessa, Kirsti, Kelli and I went to see Harry Potter. It was a lot of fun, and what a wonderful Mother in Law i have!!!
Pampa will be here wednesday early early and we couldn't be more excited!! Landen can't wait to show him is room!
