weaning day 2
so far so good,
stephen has put her down for her morning nap 2 days in a row.
i feed her at 7:00ish am and then 1:00ish
i realize weaning is just as important for kiah as it is for my milk supply to gradually decrease.
i got to get a hair cut and color today after 3 months of NOT having gotten it done

its finally march and kiah is 9 months old. she is ever so close to turning 1. she just loves clapping with us and waving to people. everywhere we go you try to chat with other kids and they just look back at you like your a weirdo. she is semi-cruising and loves feeding yourself puffs.she does this little plank thing where she is kinda on her knees crawling but everything is up off the ground like she is working on her abs. i guess swim suit season is coming soon.
for the last 3 weekends we have had people come to visit and stay with us for long weekends. its been great to have friends and family come and spend QT with Kiah at this stage in her life that will change to a new stage so quickly. first our friend Rachel from knoxville came, then my friend LUCy from alabama came and then Stephen's mom from florida came and this weekend stephens brother alan is coming. whoo! lots of love. Stephen's mom was amazing with kiah this past weekend. she was able to witness kiah going down for her naps and hearing her wake up and talking to her favorite octopus toy that we have in her crib. she doesn't scream and cry when she's done with her nap. she wakes up and tells her little stuffed octopus all about her dreams. its the best! she is seriously the squirmiest and most talkative baby i have ever met. grams also witnessed kiah stand up in her crib when she went in to get her. which reminds me that we really need to lower the crib before she decides to climb right out.
THIS MORNING WAS JUST LOVLEY! stephen and i had the best revelation ever. some days he is just busy all day from morning to night. but as often as we can we figured we should come up with a little schedule to allow each other to sleep in. by taking turns spending the morning with her, it allows the other person to have a chance to either sleep in longer or take their time waking up. so this morning, i got the girlie around 6:15am. fed her, changed her diaper, brought her down to our newly arranged living room, and then ventured over to starbucks to grab my FREE cuppa joe that i get when i recycle the coffee bags back to them. free is so great.
but as far as weaning ...i'm nervous, scared

in 10 days...
so your 10 days away from official being 9 months.thats a big deal! the other night we had our friends mitch and josh and andrew over while our friend rachel visited for the weekend. well, you went to bed at 5:00pm and didn't wake back up until 10:00am the next morning. it was really crazy. 17 hours through the night. then i had to go to target to get you some more diapers (my favorite are pampers swaddlers) and i figured you would be needing some of those swimmy diapers for when we take you to the pool and the beach so i went ahead and got those. then i had to just pop into the baby food isle to just look at some of the stuff i knew you could be having now. i love that we are able to make your food from fresh fruits and veggies that we already have but it is ALOT of extra work. so only every once in awhile i will get a jar of baby food here or there. this time i was like...hmmm, i wonder if she could handle those little puff bites that are like cheerios. so i got some of those too...the ones that supposedly have spinach and kale powder in them. turns out. it turns out, YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE EATING THOSE CUTE LITTLE PUFFS AND BEING ABLE TO FEED YOURSELF.
on sunday afternoon, your daddy and i took you to the YMCA pool for the first time ever. YOU LOVE YOUR BATHING SUITE AND THE POOL!!! we had such a great time with you there. your favorite thing is just watching all the other kids around you. like always, everywhere we go everyone comments on how happy and how beautiful you are. its true. stephen and i have a new favorite song to sing you now. we love just singing this bruno mars song to you! its so true. you are crawling on your knees more and eating a ton. this morning you and i went on a chilly 6 mile run on the greenway while daddy practiced soccer with his friends.tonight, and all monday nights i go over to the BAMA house to watch the bachelor and stephen has guy nights while i'm gone sometimes.

i love you.
dear kiah lily,
its friday in february. cold wet damp. but spring is coming. march 20th to be exact. i am so excited about SPRING we might have to make a count down for it. but its early. you went to bed in a snap last night after taking a little adventure over to watch the urban eagles boys play indoor soccer across the street at the church. those tough high school boys even melt when your around. they all want to hold you but your FAVORITE is by far Girmay! they all say, "hi beautiful" when they see you and you just stare right back. for just being a little baby, you sure do crack me up more than i thought a baby could. like yesterday i was putting together some of those silly mustache, glasses, lips, masks on a stick that you use for photo booths, and you were laughing so hard at me when i would put them on. YOU KISS EVERYTHING.AND ITS SO ADORABLE! stuffed animals, pictures of animals in your books, mirrors, me and daddy. i'm positive its because we kiss you and each other so so so much. you have been loving the delicious combo of banana and avocado with a few drops of juice to make it smooth.
this morning you woke up around 6:00 am so i was defiantly going to be putting you back to bed little early bird. after a long night of me not feeding you, i have a lot to offer, if you know what i mean. and so first thing in the morning there is always a chance of you throwing some back up on me. this morning, was one of those mornings. but i laid you back down, got out of my clothes and have been able to enjoy the early morning so far.
