Baby number 2?

I know i probably scared a few of you with the title on this one, but dont worry there is no bun in the oven for this lady. With baby number 1 close to hitting that safe 9 month mark i have been really thinking about when baby number 2 would be a good idea. My Dr told me that any time after 9 months i could get prego again and be able to try for a natural birth. Following a c-section there are a few "rules" so this one was some thing to remember for sure.

I am also daunted by the fact that soon i will be back to working 40 hours a week and away from baby k 45 ish hours and that having number 2 would allow me to be a part of her life still..... I know it will be a chance for me to get some time on my own and be a part of adult talking again. But i will for sure miss the goos and gagas.

Yesterday I was driving back from camping Baby K and I sitting in the back seat. I looked down at her in all her cutness and just loved that moment. being with my beautiful baby girl. and thought i would for sure want to wait a while to have number 2. we are just so happy with her right now that maybe 1 will always be enough. She is so perfect its amazing!

I know that i will miss being home with her but in the end we are happy with what we have right now...

Slow down baby girl!

So we have a very active dedicated to walking little girl! She just turned 8 months yesterday and in the past month she has figured out that walking is her new mission. She now pulls her self up on every thing..... I mean every thing, even the dog. The one thing she doesn't quite get is if she lets go she falls down. Which over the past few days she has gotten better at.

This is The beginning of june. She was just starting to crawl. Looks like a push up to me.... 

and of course our table standing..... 

and cute little toes on the new deck! 

She now will let go with one hand and wave, or bang on the table. Oh its so scary. We will have a walker soon. My baby girl is growing big...... Every thing she has done so far has been early. She is just growing up way to fast!

So on the go......

Wow I have no idea how time is flying by so fast........ There is so much going on its crazy!

Life has been all kinds of crazy the past few weeks! Pictures, and cards, family events its just crazy! I have been loving the beautiful weather and my wonderful new camera! And finally all of my new back drops have arrived! So far they are amazing! :) The nice thing too is the backs are white so i am able to use the backs too!

Baby K has been growing like mad! almost 8 months and pretty determined to walk. I hope she takes her time but i know it will be soon! Its almost heart breaking about how fast she is growing. I know all moms say it how fast their babys grow. Its crazy! The one new thing i am liking that she does is she likes to have her morning nap on me! We cuddle up and watch some TV and she has a nap! I really enjoy it! and i am guessing she likes it too! She never really was a cuddly baby till now so thats nice!


July is coming up so quick! I have a few exciting events happening for sure... camping camping, birthdays, weddings! oh its going to be crazy! But so much fun! I havent had a summer off since the year after i graduated which was 9 years ago! I have packed this summer with some amazing events! I cant wait! So stay tuned for fun fun fun in the sun! Starting tomorrow with a wonderful wedding! :) Here we go!


Here are some new pictures of Baby K

The tutu was made by CapriandMe Boutique

I Love both of these Both local Nanaimo moms and made so well! Baby K has a bunch of their stuff and I love it! She will eventually! :)

Feeling great.....

What a beautiful day we have today! Went for a walk with a new moms walking group. It was really nice..... Sunny good people and a nice walk.... After the 10 K i messed up my foot really bad and finally its better. it was almost 2 weeks of pain which was not fun at all.... But now I am all better and walking again..... We had a few moms with all sizes of babys, even the twins i had in studio to take pictures of. It was a blast.

Speaking of the Twins, We did a Photo shoot yesterday I had a great time taking pictures and the baby's did an amazing job. So cute.. I cant wait to get them back when they are a little older!

On the weekend my parents had their 30th wedding anniversary. We planned a surprise vow renewal, my dad was in on it but my mom had no idea till 2 days before. We managed to keep it a secret but some one spilled the beans. Thats ok tho, they still both cried and it was a beautiful time. Afte we went for dinner and had a great night!

I hope your all keeping out in this beautiful sun...

We did it~

Well every one, we survived the Victoria 10 K!!!! We walked it and got a time of 2 hours, 9 min and 5 seconds for me and 4 seconds for my mom! Kassidys first 10 k and she did quite well! I was very proud of my self that i finished it! I wish i would have tried a little bit harder to train for it, But thats ok next time right. maybe i will run it! ;) Yeah right! Not going to happen! One can dream of course. The first few K were pretty hard. I got to the 4 K mark and was shocked it was taking so long... By the 6th i was doing great more then half way done and the numbers were flying by! But we hit the 8th and i thought i was going to die! I kid you not 8 K sucks. By the time the 9th came a long i was pretty sore. Blisters on both my feet and muscles tensing up! Around the 9th Ruth our good friend came to meet us and cheer us on! Its was ok after that! We finished they announced our names as we came across the line and they asked how old Kassidy was! It was very exciting!!!!

So her is a tip for any one who is walking or running one of these... Dont stop! We stopped a few time's to tend to baby and starting up again was painful! Also at the end dont stop! slow down for sure but keep moving all the way to your car then go home and rest! lol! its not that bad but good thing to think of if your new to this! Also Do a little bit of walking before hand! More then i did! To get ready! And remember the most important part have fun! Its not a race! Its an adventure! The more you do the more you would like to improve but its ok! you dont have to be a super star!

The day before the race we went to Victoria early and took some pictures of baby at the parliament Buildings. The same spot we got our Belly pictures done! So that was fun!

How can my baby be 6 months already>???

Wow 6 months! How can my sweet little baby already be 6 months old today? I cant believe how fast time has gone by and how much she has changed. She now has a growing tooth, been up for a week and a half now. She also is eating solids, well not formula, its still really runny. She is rolling over, and almost crawling. Where has the time gone?



The past 6 months even though they have gone by so fast have been so life changing and so awesome! We had a fantastic Easter weekend!  Spend time with family and had lots of fun! I also did a mini photo shoot with baby. too cute for sure! My mom go Kassidy a amber teething necklace which seamed to do wonders for her. total 180 change from cranky teething baby to sweet wonderful baby! But yesterday I broke it! I was so mad! Not only was it super cute on it made her feel better. ( well at least that's the idea) and so far last night and today she has been back to cranky tired baby!  And she slept all night so who knows. I will have to get her a new one or fix the one i broke....  Any way! I hope you have a good day! May is almost here. so lets hope it brings sunny bright days!

This is my Beautiful little girl on her first Easter!

This house loves its fluff!

So with earth day yesterday and the great diaper change happening today I feel the need to talk fluff. If your not to sure what fluff is. I can tell you! Fluff is Cloth diapering. One of the best choices i made for my family. When i fist decided i was going to cloth diaper I was excited about the savings. Of course the up front can be costly but in the end i was going to save so much by keeping my kids in cloth. With in weeks my fluff stash had paid for its self!

When my daughter was first born i was quite scared to cloth diaper. and yes i did get a bunch of disposables from friends at her baby shower so she was a disposable baby till about the 2 month mark. She got a really really really bad diaper rash and i wanted to make sure what i was putting on her was natural and better to keep her healthy. So  we did eventually switch to cloth! It was my plan all along but when your on your first baby its really hard to try some thing new....

As this journey of cloth goes i am becoming more and more proud for my choice of cloth diapering my daughter. I am also learning a lot about what's in disposables and how horrible they are for not only your kids but the environment.

In the end its not that hard to cloth your baby! Find a few friends who are or net work on places on face book with lots of mothers who love the cloth life. Pick up a diper here and there and before you know it you will be swimming in super cute fantastic styles and prints for your little one!
