Seven Months of Wonderful

Kozette, 7 months, with some seriously cute bed-head

1. Has two bottom teeth and two more coming on top. She may look like a cute little vampire for a bit.

2. Rolls over every chance she gets. This one can't hold still! She's crazy!

3. She's trying to crawl

4. Can't sit on her own but can with a little support

5. LOVES her cousins

Marin's a natural with Kozette 

Braxton giving Kozette a hug...lol! 

 Grayson made a rattle for Kozette to play with while he was at school. It was enormous. And cute.

6. Grabs everything
-While at Costco a woman walked by pushing her cart and Kozette tried to grab her cart. The woman smiled and said, "Almost!" as she walked past. This little girl's hands are FAST!

7. She's starting to identify who her Daddy and Mommy are. It's cute.

8. Does NOT like to be left for even a second. She likes to have her eyes on everyone at all times.

9. Starting to notice animals, buttons, bows, etc. She really likes to play with little things on people's shirts (while being held) so we have to watch her closely. Her fine motor skills are developing.

10. Loves to be tossed in the air, swung side to side, bounced. She just loves to be held and loved.

11. Loves to be teased and tickled by her daddy - she laughs so hard she snorts. We LOVE her snorts!!

12. Eating rice cereal and some pureed vegetables (carrots, squash and sweet potatoes)
-HATES PEAS! I'm hopeful we can change this. My hope is she'll love veggies as much as fruits. We'll see...

13. Kicks and flails her arms like crazy. This makes changing her diaper a tad difficult.

 Cutest little butt!

14. Right around 15lbs
-I took her to the doctors a couple of weeks ago because I thought she had an ear infection (she didn't!) and she weighed 14lbs 8oz.

15. Absolutely loves to bathe.

16. She's a lover of music
-I put her down for her nap or for the night by swaddling her and singing to her. She calms down pretty quick, for the most part, and falls to sleep.

17. Doesn't mind being on her tummy. This is a huge change from when she was first born. She hated being on her tummy.

18. Kozette is very expressive. She smiles and smiles and smiles. Her gummy smiles are THE BEST!

19. Loves to touch and play with anything with texture or that makes noise. For example: wrappers, boxes, blankets, towels, hair, paper towels, paper, skin (she's really into smacking skin because she likes the sound it makes), etc.

20. Doesn't really care for her car seat. We're hoping this will change since she has to be in it every time we go anywhere...

21. She loves to have her face covered. We don't know why. We just know she loves to have her face covered. She'll use anything: her bib, blankets, towels, etc. It's so bizarre and so cute!

22. Her new thing is to open her mouth really wide and breathe out at you. She does this when she's excited or likes what you're doing. It's hilarious!

23. Enjoys going on walks with mommy

Sometimes her little cousin, Scarlet, likes to join us. :)

24. Blows out almost daily. It's awful.

25. Sleeps in the most awkward position

26. Still refuses a bottle...except this once time while at church. The bottle had baby food in it and she took it. She shocked us all. 

Travis and I love this cute little bug-a-boo so much. 

She is our joy. 

She is our everything. 

Happy seven months baby!

Four Months...WHAT?!

Our sweet little baby K is four months old today! 

Four months!! 

We are madly in love with this little girl. 

She's full of expressions, just like her daddy.

She brings a special light in our lives. 

She's beautiful. Simply beautiful.

It seems like she's been with us for so much longer, 

yet at the same time it seems like it's only been a week or two. 

Developmental milestones:

1. Kozette "talks" to us on a regular basis. She has the cutest little voice ever!
2. Kozette has started laughing.  

**It started out as more of a groan with a little squeal at the end of each groan. Now she's laughing and we love hearing her. It's music to our ears.

3. Kozette loves to play games with her daddy every night before bed.

4. Kozette loves playing under a floor mobile toy. 

**She's reaching for toys, although her movements are still a little all over the place she's getting good at grabbing what she's looking at.

5. Not only is Kozette getting good at reaching and grabbing toys with her hands, she's getting good at grabbing dangling toys with her feet. 

**She LOVES to explore with her feet as much as she explores with her hands!

6. Kozette wakes up once during the night, sleeping 4-6 hours at a time. We are a-okay with this development milestone!!

7. Sucks on her fists like no ones business!

8. Wants to put everything in her mouth.

9. She absolutely loves to sit and stand up (with help, of course)

10. Kozette recognizes me and her daddy before we say anything. 

**She greets us with a smile whenever we walk into the room

She's full of smiles and she's generous in sharing them with others. 

SHE KILLS US!

11. Kozette doesn't cry when waking up in the middle of the night. Rather she fidgets and grunts until I get up to feed her. She'll often smile at me before I pick her up to start her feeding. 

12. Kozette doesn't just slobber, she SPITS. It's super cute. 

**Kozette's currently teething. It sucks. :(

Why slobber when you can spit?!

13. Kozette's favorite vowel is "eh". We know this because since she was born she's had a trademark: she says "eh...ehh!" as a warning. If we don't listen, LOOK OUT! She'll have more to say!

14. Kozette has gained a STRONG opinion about being put down after being held. She does NOT like it!

15. Kozette has multiple blowouts each week. No joke. She can push 'em like the best.

It seems like she's been with us for so much longer than four months, 

yet at the same time it seems like we brought her home just yesterday. 

One thing's for sure. 

We are madly in love with this precious little girl.

She has made life so much better, more full, more focused, more rewarding.

Happy four months, baby!

We love, LoVe, LOVE you!!!

Happy New Year

We rang in the New Year at home with family. 

We watched a movie and played a million games of UNO.

And these two adorable people cuddled and fell asleep.

Don't worry, I woke him up and gave him his New Years kiss.

I love them.
