Weekend of cuteness

Like every weekend isn't full of cuteness? Nah, but this time I got it on camera!! =)

First, Kali is a rolling machine!  She has discovered that if there is a toy over there -----> that she wants, then she can roll and get to it.  Talk about adorable?!  Since she's been rolling, the tummy mat has become more extinct considering she'll roll and knock the whole thing over.  So I've been laying out a blanket, scattering toys around and letting her go to town.  This video is long, because of course she noticed that I had the camera.  And when she notices that I have the camera, all evidence of cuteness goes away for a few seconds and then she resumes.  So bare with us! I'm going to get this kid liking the camera if it's the LAST thing I do, I swear!!! :)

And then, she's starting to really get the hang of the Jumperoo.  She used to be all about the toys, but now she's realizing that she can JUMP.  I'm also on the hunt for a walker, since she has one at TJ's parent's house and seems to be enjoying it! I can't believe that she's getting so mobile! It's crazy!

And FINALLY........we have a tooth! That's right...a TOOTH!!!  It sprouted out Saturday (3/19) and is on the bottom left (her right).  She was restless all night Friday night and I finally brought her to bed with me since she wasn't sleeping in her crib (and therefore keeping me awake through the monitor).  But she was constantly moving her head, arms, and legs-while sleeping, and therefore I still  didn't get any sleep.  She hasn't been too cranky, so now I'm worried that this week will be bad when the rest of the tooth decides to pop out.  But so far, so good.  It is so crazy that my little 5 month old has a TOOTH.  Next thing I know she's going to be talking! UGH! I just wanna stop time and savor this before the next milestone happens! 

Day of New

I bought Kali a jumperoo off craigslist.com for $30, which is WAYYYY better than the $80 price tag it had at Target.  I cleaned it up (and sanitized it of course) and it was finally ready for Kali to enjoy last night.  TJ has been working nights this week, so he was sleeping when we got home.  I decided to make dinner and wait until he woke up to put her in the jumperoo so that he could be there too.  He has missed some of her 'firsts' so I wanted to make sure that he was able to join in on this one.

While I was making dinner, Kali decided to roll over....and I didn't see it.  She has been doing this to me for DAYS! And it's killing me.  She did it the other day while I was sitting at the computer paying bills (yay me.....UGH!) and I tried to capture her doing it again on camera, but she REFUSED to do it.  This is becoming a habit of hers.  Anytime she sees either my camera or my phone, she stops doing whatever cute thing she was doing before I grabbed the camera.  Starting to wear on my nerves a little.  Anyhoo.......

I really wanted to record her rolling over, so I set her on her back on her tummy time mat and then "hid" in the kitchen where she couldn't really see me with the camera.  And VIOLA...I captured her rolling over! YAY!!! But if I'm going to have to "hide" from her every time I want to capture a special moment on camera I'm going to scream! NOT FAIR...I love to take pictures and MY KID is the one that doesn't like camera....UGH, such is my life.
So here it is...for your enjoyment!!!!! =)

I was a little excited!!! HAHA

After that, I still had to make dinner.  So I put her in her Bumbo in the kitchen with me.  She only tolerates this thing.  She'll sit in it until she gets board....and then scrambles to get out. HAHA

Kali playing nicely in the kitchen while I cooked...

And then she wanted to get out...

And then she REALLY wanted to get out.

This is Kali's drink and my drink from last night! =) 

After dinner we finally got to put her in the jumperoo.  At first she wasn't sure how to react, but then she liked it.  Here's a picture of her in it...

Yup...she's adorable! :)

And here is the video of her in the Jumperoo for the first time!!

So that was the majority of our night.  She loved it, and then we did her bedtime routine: bath, lotion, story, bottle, Mommy Sleeper hold and GOOD NIGHT KALI!! =)
