Multicam

K-Mac has a kitty.

My cat died a month before we had K-Mac.  I swore to hubs, no more animals.  We have chickens and three dogs and I really don't want to take care of anything else.  But my mom found this poor itty bitty thing a month ago in the same sad situation that our previous cat died in. 

I believe in fate.  So we took in the cat.

I was pretty nervous to have this clawy wild thing in the house with my BABY.  She's obviously a stranger to people and like already mentioned, HAS CLAWS.  For one reason or another, she likes the baby.  A lot.

K-Mac has made it a habit to climb out of her bumbo to grab her kitty.  She also enjoys chewing on the cat's tail and picking her up.  I worry she's rough on the cat but when I see them curled up in the playpen together, both with their mouths wrapped around the same toy, sleeping away, the worry leaves.

K-Mac has also been modeling for my etsy store.  Well, we just started I guess.  I'm making tutus (tuti?) and use her for pictures.  She cried while wearing her own tutu in her four month photo shoot.  She also cried while I was making a tutu for a friend's little girl and tried to measure it against her.  BUT!  She did NOT cry when I told her a really really really needed her to model my tutu for etsy.  I guess she only dishes out the smiles for professional occasions.  I'll take what I can get.

K-Mac and I have also started walking around the block in the mornings when she's up.  If she's still sleeping I just go for a jog.  Which is something I dread but kind of need to do.  She's so alert in the mornings.  It's when she really shines.  Sometimes she wants to play a little too early for us, but we still haven't learned to sleep when she sleeps or whatever they tell you to do. 

Speaking of sleep, I'm scared to tell everyone this but my kid sleeps.

Like a champ.

She goes to bed around 8 and wakes up a 7:30.  Like clockwork.  The only thing she doesn't do "right" is nap.  She'll nap once a day for an hour or so and maybe have some twenty minutes naps once or twice.  But it works for me.  It just means more time in the backpack or jumperoo so I can get stuff done!  Because mommies need to clean and cook and other stuff too.  Got it K-Mac?



YOU GOT IT DUDE!

 P.S.  The cat's name is Multicam.  Because when you live in a house of pink and bright colors and all things girly, sometimes you have to let your husband name the cat. <3

Four Months!

Last week we had out big four month appointment!  I still can't believe she's already that old.  I feel like she's so big, but as the doctor told me she's actually smaller than the average baby.  She now weighs twelve pounds and fifteen ounces and is twenty three and an eighth inches long. 

The doctor also told us that she's healthy and ready for baby cereal and baby food!  We wanted to wait until daddy (finally) got home from AT.  We also had to get two shots and an oral vaccine.  K-Mac talked to the nurses the whole time and only cried (briefly, thank God) after her second shot. 

Recently, we bought a jumperoo for K-Mac!  It was love at first bounce.  When she wiggles the whole thing jumps with her, blasting music/jungle noises and lights up.  It's adorable and she loves it.

But the real reason I'm updating is to talk about food!  We started K-Mac on cereal this past Monday (6/20).  Yeah, she isn't feeling it.  She'll open her mouth and doesn't have a problem with pushing her tongue around or eating off the spoon, it's just so blah!  The cereal doesn't interest her.  So we devised a plan.  When we mix it with little dots of baby applesauce it suddenly becomes her new fave.  Today we tried straight baby applesauce and she loved it. Next week, we're going to give some veggies a shot.  I'm thinking carrots. 

Any suggestions?



You want me to eat what?
