spotty spots

kinzie woke up this morning with the worst rash i've ever seen. red spots and blotches covered her body and face. the doc seems to think it's a late reaction to the amoxicillin she was put on last week. he said it should clear up in 2-3 days. i feel for the poor thing, she's itchy and miserable.

don't ask

not sure what she was doing. just thought it was funny.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

ah the learning table.... it sings the abc's and 123's, and then those songs are stuck in your head all day.

kinzie's doctor visit

runny nose and cough = mommy's love and care $free
double ear infection = amoxicillin $4
eczema skin rash = two skin creams $30
happy baby and mommy once healed and healthy = priceless

her rash was pratically gone this afternoon. then she figured out she could reach her back with her hand to scratch it...since that it's flared up again. have you ever tried to keep a baby from scratching?
to top that off, she has rug burn on her knees from crawling.

shuffle step

she's on the move

she loves being able to crawl over to the toy bin and pull out whatever she wants or crawling to the kitchen when sid and i are in there.

....we're back to baby proofing the house again.

new found love

I have discovered bento boxes. the japanese style lunch box. the difference you ask... cute lunch accessories and fun ideas to spruce up healthy foods for the kiddos. they have rice ball molds, hard boiled egg molds, cute tooth picks. the list goes on and on. i have obsessed over them for months and may need to place an order to japan soon.

failed attempt

i realized i don't have a picture of me with both the girls. so i tried to do a snapshot today... i swear i heard them whisper "hey, you gonna duck when mom takes the picture? yeah me too!"

was there a "what not to wear" episode at my house today?

she picked out her outfit today. oh yeah, pink high tops and glasses from her dress up bin.

baby maddox

babysat this little guy the other day and couldn't resist taking his picture. this is one from our little session. (i didn't know mindy just had his pics taken in a studio, oh well) mindy if you see this, i'll get the pictures to you. i thought if i could get a shot of the other two boys, it might make a cute b-day/house warming gift.

if you give a girl a cookie...

she's gonna ask for a glass of milk...

bathtime

you wouldn't know it from this picture, but she hates the tub. well the water in the hair part...

someday she'll get revenge

bad pic...but look, sid was totally spraying kinz in the face with water!

sisters

what is it about a baby in a sink that's so cute?

last of the toothless pictures

photographer in the making?

i had my old cameras out today (thinking of a pic idea for marketing..i need to work!) sid totally fell in love with the baby brownie. she'd act like she took a picture, then she'd turn the camera around to *show* me the picture...hehe like it was a digital camera with a screen on the back.

the scene as i entered

*note to self* clean lens

her arm is longer than it appears through the lens

i think she was trying to escape...

perhaps she thought she could eat her way out?

new doll for valentine's day

would you like a bite of cookie snow white?

kinzie didn't care much for valentine's day. she was more worried about why she wasn't getting any milk out of her bottle...

lollipop kisses

happy valentine's day!

baby flippers

i know it's winter, but these were to big for her last summer and i think they might be to small this summer... it's too cute not to have a picture.

red toes...the aftermath

i put on my crafty gloves..

i finally finished these pictures i've been wanting to put up in kinzie's nursery. i still had pics of sid in there from when it was her nursery! i am totally in love with how they came out.

dancy pants

holy cannoli this girl loves to dance. i'm thinking of putting her in tap and ballet this fall...is that too much for a toddler?

good morning sunshine

she really is a good baby. such a spark.

tu tu cute

why are babies so cute to dress up? made the girls tutu's the other day. if i can get sidney to stop twirling around in hers i'll post a picture of her later!

could i love her any more...?

who ever coined the term "terrible two's" is crazy. i love every minute of it. (okay, maybe there's a couple minutes i could do without...) but i love that she has her own opinion and likes and dislikes. makes for such a cute little personality.

an apple a day...
