Kiley had been sleeping from about 10pm to 7am. Just the last few weeks, Kiley has been waking up for a 4am feeding. It is not too bad because she does go right back to bed. We think she is going through a growth spurt. I can’t believe how fast she is growing though.
I would say Kiley is most active first thing in the morning. Once she wakes up, I bring her in bed with me and unswaddle her. She immediately stretches. I love watching her stretch. It is like a full body experience for her. You can tell how much she loves that freedom. She smiles so big and laughs and giggles. I love my morning time with her.
Kiley is able to keep herself entertained for quite a while on her activity mat. She kicks her legs and swats at the butterfly and sun that hangs down. She laughs and giggles. It is so cute. She is still not too big on tummy time, but we do it for a bit anyway. She can hold her head up very well now. Kiley is able to hold a rattle in her hand and shake it around. I have added a video of her with the rattle. The first clip is when she first was able to hold the rattle and shake it without losing it. I don't think she really realized what was in her hand. I also thought it was funny because it looked like she was waving to the camera. The second clip you can tell she is examining it more. She tries to eat it too. You will also hear Lost playing in the background of the second clip.
Fsd saaaaaaaaaaaaae//?f=– That was Jeremy let Kiley type a bit. I have also added a collage of pictures taken of Kiley from the last month. The picture of her smiling in the Bumbo was taken March 7th, and the picture of just her face below that picture was taken February 7th. We have a hard time catching Kiley when she is talking with Jeremy or when she is smiling lots. She sees the camera and then becomes fascinated with it and stops everything and just stares at it! We have tried sneak attacks but she must sense something is up because she stops! Thank goodness for the endless pictures you can take with digital cameras!
Nothing too much has changed with Jeremy and me. We started watching Lost. I guess Lost is pretty big at JEI so we trying to catch up. We just finished season 3, and only have a few more seasons before we are caught up. It is a very interesting show.
I ran more like jogged/walked the Seaside Half Marathon (13.1 miles) at the beginning of the month. I didn’t get to train like I wanted to. I only trained for about 3 weeks, and the farthest I jogged was 3 miles. I knew it was going to be a rough race, but I ran in it the last 2 years and I wanted to this year too. I just wanted to finish; I didn’t care about my time. I jogged for 30 minutes and then walked for 10 minutes. That worked fairly well for me. It took me 2 hours and 51 minutes, but I finished! I definitely felt the effects of poor training the next few days.
I still have not gone back to work yet, and not sure when I will full time. I have talked to my boss and I think we have worked out where I can work part time from home. What a blessing. I couldn’t imagine leaving Kiley. Also I am working on starting a small home business selling handmade items and other neat gifts. I am pretty excited about it. Check out my website: Expealidocious.com. Well that is about it for now.
