Annual-versary

Today is my mum and dad’s annual-versary. I am not sure what that means, but I think it has something to do with being tied up together for a very long time. Well, I think my mum and dad must have been tied up together a very long time, ’cause they are good at it.

I have been off the blogging scene for a while now, and I have a lot to catch you up on. Mum and dad’s camera is still in the shop for repairs, so I cannot include photos at the moment, but daddy says he is working really hard on it.

I am doing lots of new things now. I have a chair of my own in the kitchen called a high-chair. It allows me to join the rest of the family when they eat. I have to sit on a small pillow and be strapped into it, which I don’t like, but once I am in there and busy eating, or watching everyone else, I soon forget all about the straps. It is fun watching everyone! I want to be just like my big brothers when I get older. They eat however they would like, and don’t follow rules like mum and dad do. Only thing is, I think I would like it better if mum and dad didn’t yell at them all the time for having fun while they eat!

I eat now too. I have some special foods that are all my own! I tried my first baby food just the other day, called chicken. It was really good, and I just couldn’t get enough of it! I have been eating porridge since almost the last time I blogged here, and I have really enjoyed it a lot more than my bottle, but chicken was amazing! Of course, eating these kinds of food as I am, mum and dad say I have graduated early. Heck, I didn’t even know I was in school! I did because of my tummy playing me up on just liquids, and because I was just not filling up on them. But now I am fine, I sleep better through the nights, and my tummy troubles are being managed by the foods I do eat. Mum and dad seem to have it all sussed out!

I am nearly able to sit up on my own now, if I have help getting there that is. Also, I am thinking about rolling over soon. It looks like fun!

There is lots more to tell you still, but I need to go for now. I hope that everyone is doing well! Daddy says he is so excited to get his digital camera back from the shop, and he wants to take a picture of me with it first thing. I will put it up here as soon as he does!

Loves and Hugs to all!

Kirynie and Daddy!

Up and at em.!!!

You know, I’m now 3 mths old and I want out into this crazy world (that’s what Mommy calls it).I’m getting bored of just lying there all the time, have you looked at the ceiling lately, there are only so many cobwebs a girl can count, and the spiders are yukky.!Mommy and Daddy got me a mobile for my bed, it’s funny, I like looking at it…:o)I think that they are finally getting the message that I don’t wanna be lying down all the time, everytime they cuddle me on their laps I have now taught them to let me sit up by myself, although things sometimes get a little wobbly, I like sitting up by myself, it means that I can keep an eye on what my big bothers are doing, they always seem to be having fun.Mommy and Daddy also got me something that looks like a swing, but I’m not allowed to swing in it (I don’t even know what ‘swing’ is, so how can I tell if I’m doing it? strange.) It lets me bounce up and down, and I love that I can just about touch the floor with my feet (I found them last week, wondered where they had gone to.?) They only let me play in there for a short while, and even though I’ve cried when they take me out, they just aren’t listening to me….humph.!And, I love this ‘talking’ stuff, most of the time. Daddy makes lots of funny noises and not all of them from his mouth, so I can’t copy the other ones…??! I have lots of chats with Mommy, she understands a girls needs. I do get very fur uh fru uh frustrated though when I can’t do it properly, why won’t my tongue make noise by itself, why does it need my throat to make noise too? Weird.!I think that I’ve finally figured out what ‘sleeping through the night’ is…..it’s going to sleep when I have a full tummy and then waking up when it is empty, but it has to be dark outside. Mommy doesn’t seem to agree as she keeps mumbling something about 4am being a little bit twirly to start the day when she goes back to work.Well, I have to go now and play with my feet some more….Yay…:o)Have a nice day y’all…..Fun & BubblesKirynie & Mommy.xx

12 Weeks Old

It is official, I have been here for 12 weeks now. And what busy weeks they have been! Especially lately! I have really been enjoying the rice and cereals that mum has been giving to me, twice a day or more! Mum and dad were really concerned about me having it at first, but now that they have seen how well I eat it, and how much better I am sleeping for it, they are okay! In fact, I am sleeping as many as 12 hours a night now! The food really satisfies me, and makes it easier for me to sleep through without waking up hungry.

I have also found that there are a lot of funny things in this world, like Daddy! He likes to poke his tongue in and out really fast while making a noise at me. I can’t do the noise yet, but I have been able to mimic the action for about a week now. It is fun, and it makes me laugh out loud when we do that!

Mum and dad have finally got some sleep! That is good because they seem a lot less stressed lately! Since I have been sleeping through most of the nights, Mum and Dad have improved their sleeping a lot, but in the past few days they have really been getting the sleep they need! I have been really concerned about them, so it is fantastic to see them growing up so much! I am excited for them, and they seem excited about it all too! Daddy got up this morning at 5:30 to feed me my early breakfast, and then we hung out down stairs till mum got up at almost 9:00. It was the first time Mum has slept so late since as far back as I can remember.

Daddy seems a bit agitated about something. Ever since his digital camera broke, he has not been able to take nearly as many pictures as he has in the past. He even got out his big camera with a fancy name, but he says that it uses something called film, and that we have to wait to see the pictures. He says that if he can get lots of people to contribute to his "Help Kelsey Convert His Hasselblad To A Digital Camera Fund," then he can use it without having to wait to see the pictures! But he says it costs way too much to do at this time!

Daddy says he wants to try to do more sound recording, which is really good because there is a lot I have to say. Maybe he can tie some of that into this blog in the future!

Well, I am off to see my Nanny San’s sister now. I hope everyone out there is doing good like Mum and Dad, and not bad like Dad’s digital camera!

Loves and Hugs!

Kiry and Daddy!

FOOD!

Yesterday I tried something new. I ate something called Rice. It was all mushy and white, and not runny as my normal nummies are. I had it for the first time yesterday, and I only ate a few bites. Today I had five spoons full, and then I ate a whole bottle of my nummies, and mum and dad were so proud of me! I like to let them know that I know they are proud of me by smiling real big at them.

Mum warns me that I am being naughty by eating rice so early on, but I have been eating all my nummies in my bottles, then wanting more in between, and I have been chewing on my hands and tongue. Mummy says these are classic tell tale signs that I am ready for something more substantial than just formulae in bottles. Daddy says "oh well, babies are all different, so if it is early, then so be it! This baby has to go at her own pace." I wonder if he will still feel the same when I discover boys?

Mum and dad have got me so many new clothes on eBay that I don’t know if I’ll have the time to wear them all! Some of my favourite old clothes do not fit anymore! Does this have anything to do with my food?

What is eBay?

It has been a while since I last posted because I cannot seem to get mum and dad to help me. They have been too busy on the Internet in a place called eBay. What is that? They keep doing something called bidding. I don’t understand it! They are not doing MY bidding though! Or I would have had this blog done ages ago!

There is a really nice guy who comes over to our house each day. I think he really likes me! He brings me dresses and clothes to wear, and they are beautiful! The guy is named Postman. He brings me beautiful clothes from Monsoon and a place called Osh Kosh. He has also brought me some things from Carter’s. I have loads of things to wear for days and days to come. Mum says there are things that I will only wear when I am two years old. What is a year?

Daddy has a picture of me on his computer desktop. He says I look very pretty. I think this has got to be the most tasteful thing he has done yet! Here is the picture!

That is me sat on my mum’s lap, but you cannot tell because it is just my face. Under daddy’s big lights, my hair looks ginger.

Mum and dad are so happy with me. They say I can almost sleep through the nights. I don’t see what is so special about it. I go to sleep and I wake up. Was there a night? I don’t know. I was sleeping. I just close my eyes, then open them again and mum an dad are so happy! That makes me happy and I like to play with them for a little bit, but then I go back to sleep. So I don’t see what the big deal is that I sleep all night if I sleep all day too!

I hope everyone who reads this is doing well, and I will try to get mum and dad to help me to blog again the next time I wake up. Keep smiling, I am!

Smiles!

Slumber Party…….at the night club….

I went to my first ever slumber party (it was at my Nanny Sans) , that’s what mommy called it. I got to play ALL night with my mommy, my nanny San and my Auntie Tasha. Auntie Tasha said that we had our own ‘nightclub’. There was singing and dancing and girlie chats. They had bacon butties (don’t know why they would be eating my daddy’s bottom though?) at midnight and cake and ice-cream at 3am. I was a bit upset though because they didn’t let me have any. I thought it was soooo mean that I made them give me an extra bottle to make up for it.!!! ;o) Especially after I had made them cry……..mommy said it was ok that I made them cry, they were crying from laughter. I thought that you only cried when you were hungry..???Mommy and Daddy were talking this week about Mommy being able to go back to sleeping at night instead of the day time, but they have now decided that Mommy needs to stay on the night shift as I’m still confused as to whether I should be using my nose or my mouth to get rid of the bits of yummies that I don’t like. (I had a couple of problems this week with being able to breathe after ‘urping’, my yummies got stuck again….I wasn’t very happy….)We also got to go shopping this week, twice.!!! It’s funny when we go shopping because my big bothers pretend to be my style guru’s and try and talk mommy into buying lots of cool clothes, but she’s very mean because she won’t let me have EVERYTHING that my big bothers pick up.! She mumbled something about spoilt brats and my little finger, beats me what that was about.!! ?Well, I have to go now, I’m practicing sleeping through the night at the moment, I’ve managed it once, but wow, was I ever hungry when I woke up.!!!Fun & BubblesKirynie (and Mommy)

For My Daughter

Busy Days of Summer

What is summer? That is what mum and dad call it outside. They say that something called winter will be out there before long, but that because I am in England, I won’t be able to tell the difference. Still, they like to do things because of the summer. One of the things we did this past week was go to a place called Malvern. Dad says that it is one of his favourite places to go. There is a pretty town centre there, and some lovely hills. It was my first trip out of the city I was born in. We went to Malvern by a big thing called a train. It was like a house, but when we went into it, the world outside moved till it turned to Malvern. It was very interesting.

Today we went with Auntie Pat to a place called Broadway, in the Cotswold’s. Cotswold’s are a hilly place that is very beautiful. Daddy and Auntie Pat climbed up a great tower and took pictures and looked at the Malvern. I don’t know why, when they could have just taken the train and had a closer look.

Mum and dad have also done some other things this week too. They cleaned out a room in our house called attic. And daddy also cleaned out a place called garden. Mum and dad said that the whole lot would need two skips. I think that is what you do between a hop and a jump, or it is a large container for rubbish. I am not sure, but there are two large containers in the front of our house. Oh, I just got that! I think it is the large container for the rubbish! Anyway, I think my brothers each will get to live in a skip when it is all done, because I heard daddy say he was going to put all their stuff in the skips.

Mum and dad are silly, and they are making me smile these days. I especially like to smile at mum. She has a lovely voice, and always says sweet things to me. Daddy is big and strong, and he makes me feel safe, so I like to go to sleep when I am with him. He is good at helping me to settle my tummy, so that also makes it easier and nicer for me to go to sleep. It makes daddy happy that I can go to sleep in his arms. I like it very much when he holds me.

Well, that’s an update for now. I am still trying to work a lot of these things out, but as I do, I will keep you updated, so you will know what they are too. Especially thins like the Train, and the Malvern, and the place Daddy and Auntie Pat went to look at the Malvern. There must be some reason they like to see it from up there!

Yours,

Kirynie (and sleeping daddy)

Another Stay in the Hotel-pital

I got to spend another night in the place mum and dad are calling the "Hospital" this week. On Thursday evening I had me some boiled water for my constipation, and a little while after I did, some of the water came up and I tried to swallow it back down, but it got stuck in my neck and made me cough and then stop breathing for about 45 seconds. Mum and dad said they have never been so scared in all their lives, which is a really really long time. Frankly, neither have I. Mum and dad tried everything they could, even to the point of turning me nappy over bonnet. Well, anyway, I finally cleared up, but I got to go to the hospital and spend the night till mum and dad did a course on CPR and Resuscitation the next morning. I felt better before we went in to the hospital, but mum and dad felt better after we left.

Mum and dad are doing their jobs one at a time right now. Mum stays up all night with me, then wakes dad up and goes to sleep. Then dad stays up all day with me. I guess this is the only way they have figured out how to share me with each other. They say it is worth it because I am so important to them. I wonder why they can’t share me at the same time? They say they will when I am a little bit older. I listened to this song by a guy called "Airy-Smith," that I think says what they mean about not wanting to miss anything. Maybe that is why? Or does it have something to do with my stay in the hospital?

Sometimes mum and dad speak of another place they want to live called "Merica." I don’t know where it is, but from what daddy says, it sounds like there is some great shopping there. And I think some of daddy’s family must work there, cause they are there all the time. I might ask daddy to book a taxi when I get some shopping money. I wonder if it will take as long to get there as it does to get into town?

Well, I gotta go now. If you want to send me any special messages that daddy can print up and put in a book for me to read when I am older, daddy says to send it to kirynie@kelseybacon.com I might not reply to what you send me as I have a lot of demands on my time with naps, eating, and changing my nappies and all, but I will have them to read and re-read for a long time.

Bye for now!

Kirynie and daddy.
