Where's the Ball?




This is Kynzee's Ball she would not let out of her sight today. We didn't freak out when she popped the ball in her mouth. It was way too big for her to swallow, but she thought it was funny to pop it in and out of her mouth. She would laugh as it would fly across the room from out of her mouth. What a silly girl with a super cute personality at her young age.

Kynzee 9 Months Old





Kynzee turned 9 months last week. She is growing so fast. She climbs up the stairs and stands on her own. Those are just a few of the milestones she has reached. She still weighs 13 pounds actually down about 5 ounces from her checkup in December. She is in the 10th percentile for her height and in the 10th percentile for her head growth.
She still wakes up many times a night. Some nights every hour. Her Dr doesn't want me to let her cry it out. It doesn't work anyway. She will cry for over an hour straight when we try. As much as I love my sweet baby, she has been my hardest. She has had chronic nonstop respiratory issues since November on top of not gaining weight or sleeping.
On a happier note, she is my only baby that has stood on her own this young. She will just look at me and burst into laughter. This has been the newest thing this week. She still doesn't have any teeth. Every baby younger then her has passed her up on this one. She loves electronics like my other kids...phones, ipods, ipads, kindles. Her favorite show is still Baby Einstein. Her favorite food is yogurt mixed with bananas and strawberries. The other day I fed her a spinach smoothie mixed with whole wheat baby cereal. She downed it. I know you're probably thinking that is super gross, but it actually was super good. I just blended grapes, strawberries, bananas, Greek yogurt and spinach and little water. It was soooo good. I just put cereal in hers so she wasn't drinking meal. Despite being sleep deprived to the point of not functioning, I love her to pieces and I don't know what I would do without my little mama's girl.

It's Thursday


Today for "new recipe Thursday" I made Cream Cheese Chicken Chili in the crockpot with Chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes for dessert.
Oh my gosh, lets just say my tummy hurts because I am sooo full. The chili was awesome and the cupcakes were the best I had ever had. There was cookie dough (eggless) in the middle and cookie dough flavored frosting...NO JOKE!!! I had never added flour to a frosting before and this recipe called for 1 cup along with the powdered sugar, brown sugar and butter among other things. It was really rich. I will have to make these again. I do like my attempt at making the cupcake look like a rose which is practice for when I make Ben a yoda themed cupcake bouquet for the 14 days of Valentines that I am doing for him.
