7 months

By -


milestones and exciting things going on in Kara's life:
  • prefers mommy over anyone else
  • sits up completely by herself
  • thinks mommy is the bomb
  • waves bye-bye
  • adores mommy
  • likes to bounce whenever her feet touch the ground
  • is attached to mommy
  • eats anything and every thing in sight (and gets quite angry if you don't give her the food she has her eye on)
  • wishes Mommy could be attached to her 24/7
  • has NO intention of crawling (the right way) anytime soon
  • gets told she looks mostly like mommy
  • has her brother completely wrapped around every single one of her fingers.
  • will not let anyone else hold her (happily) while she can see or hear mommy

loves to...
be talked to, sang to, cuddled, loved on, danced with, played peek-a-boo with, carried, watch Baby Einstein, play with her monkey toy, ride in her stroller, and smiled at... though she makes no promises to smile back. She puts on a front as being a very serious minded girl. But I think its just a front. Inside she wants to smile but thinks it would be too easy. You must work for it.

Oh, super cute recent thing? She says "Mama" very clearly and it melts my heart. Finally got a child that says "Mama" first! :)

Not so exciting news:
In the midst of being so sick with that awful cough for more than 2 months, we took her to the Dr. to have them take a deeper look and see what was going on. She has officially been diagnosed with Allergy induced asthma. Kind of yucky, but in the grand scope of life, not so bad. Oddly enough, Jason was diagnosed with sports/allergy induced asthma last month. Having the inhaler did him wonders, so I'm hoping for the same with Ethan and now Kara.

We're just so in love with our sweet girl and so thankful to God for her!

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be ...

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.  ...
