8 Weeks

I never got an e-mail this week. Maybe she's not supposed to have learned anything this week.

It was a busy week though!
On Friday we went to Buffalo. We left the house at 4:45 to pick up Daddy at the park n ride. Then we went to Babies r us to pick up her pictures which came out adorable. She ate there in the Mother's room (and I left her changing pad from the diaper bag on the changing table there whoops!)
Then JR and I ate at Chick-fil-a and we were on our way. We made it to State Line before she needed to eat again. We got to Grammy and Poppy's at 10:30. Almost 6 hours, but we had lots of stops.

On Saturday Grammy and Poppy held an open house so Kaida could meet her family. She met Uncle Tim, Aunt Manda, Tara, and Ryan. Uncle Lee, Aunt Carol, and Leanne. Aunt B., Kim, and Alexandra. Carlie, and Becki Chambers. Uncle Matt came too, but she's already met him.
Later that evening we went to Rachelle and Joe's for dinner. So she got to meet them and Claire, and Betsy and John. It was fun!

on Sunday she had a bath in Grammy's kitchen sink. It was a lot smaller that our sink so it was pretty challenging.

Bath Time!


Later we went to the special memorial service at church since they're knocking it down. We took her picture with Grammy in front of the building. She got to meet lots of people at church too. Grammy had fun showing her off to everyone.

That evening everyone came over and Uncle Tim and Aunt Manda brought Nino's! So she got to meet Aunt Sam and Lucas too.

On Monday we drove back home. It took a while to get home too. We left at 3:00 (I think) and stopped at Mighty Taco. After we ate, she ate there and then she needed her diaper changed. Mighty Taco doesn't have a diaper changing station :-( but we managed and got on the road.

First trip to Mighty Taco!


We had to get gas in Edinboro and then she needed to eat at the rest area before Grove City. She puked on herself so much in the car that she needed to have her clothes changed as well as her diaper. Luckily the rest area has a changing station. It was quite the adventure!

This week her arm batting seems to have definite goals. She really likes Tonic's tail. She stares at it when he's close enough and it's moving back and forth. She put forth a mighty effort but only managed to pick the arm up and heave it in the general direction of his tail. She also tried to get the bunny rattle. But once she doesn't get what she was aiming for she loses interest.

Yesterday was pretty rough. She didn't sleep from the time we got up until about 7 at night. She took a couple of 5-10 minute cat naps, and slept a little while we ate dinner but that was it. And the little bit she did sleep she would be crying while she looked asleep. Then she insisted on being held all night until bedtime at 9:30. She slept on our shoulders and would cry immediately if we tried to put her down. She wasn't picky about which one of us she was sleeping on though, so that was good. But then she slept fine overnight and seems much better today. Already had two naps.

Crazy baby!
