I am a MOM!

It has been 5 1/2 months since we were blessed with our our little peanut, Kayman Alana Kilian. I always think, I should really be documenting this journey and yet I never sit down to do it. Clearly, since my last post was over 2 years ago I am not good with being consistent so here is to a new start. Don't get your hopes up. No one could have ever prepared my heart for the love I would have for our sweet girl. I am loving every minute of it...minus a few (more than a few) sleepless nights:) What can I say, she loves the boob. Period. She would be attached all hours of the day if she could be. She is now at this point where she will nurse, pull away and give me the biggest smile and then attach again without losing eye contact. I am definitely getting manipulated. She has also started doing this fake cry when I walk in the room and she sees me. She can be perfectly happy with whoever has her but the second she spots me the act is on. A few of the things she is doing now: She is sitting up by herself. She sat up in her bath tub tonight for the first time. She loves cuddling with us. She loves watching Avery's every move and Ave has been so protective of her. She is scooting backward when she is doing tummy time. She loves her saucer. One of the toys on it plays a song that says, "Red, Yellow and Blue" Alan will sing "Red, Yellow and Orange and Black." That is fine because when she plays with one of her chew toys with all of the different colors on it, we go over all of the colors and when we get to blue, we say "pretty" and when we get to orange we say "ugly." Mature parents we are:) Some days she likes going on walks and some days she lets you know strapping her in the stroller was not your best idea of the day. Knock on wood, she has started getting in her carseat with no issues. BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT! She loves the water. She has found her voice. She will be sitting there and just scream and loves seeing herself in the mirror. It's especially cute when she does a happy scream at 4am:) She chews on everything. Teeth soon??? I am sure I could keep going on and on but I am instead going to bed before someone wakes me up for her first feeding of the night.
