PreSchool Graduation

May 20th was Bentlees PreSchool Graduation.  She has loved every moment of preschool and she learned 

so much. I didn't even realize how much she actually learned until she was singing all her cute songs in the program.  They learned about the months, planets days of the week, shapes, colors, mammals, reptiles, safety and ABC's.  She already new a bunch of stuff like her letters, numbers shapes and colors, but she didn't know the planets.  So I am glad she got to learn about those.  I didn't really send her to preschool to learn I can teach her all of that to prepare her for kindergarten.  The main reason I sent her was for the social aspect.  She is really really shy and it has been so fun to see her come out of her shell.  She made a lot of friends and can now go into any situation and is a lot better about going and making friends.  So it was totally worth every second of it.   Here are a few pictures from her graduation.  Me and Rikki got to decorate for it that was a lot of fun.  Oh and one last thing I was pretty excited about she is super tall.  I didn't realize how tall she was until I saw her standing in line with the rest of her class.  I hope she can keep growing..

Where is the time Going!

So Korver is almost eight months old so I thought I better get on here and write about the milestones she reached in her seventh month. 

1.  She can officially full on crazy fast crawl.  She is all over the house in a blink of the eye.

2.  She is standing all on her own.  Yesterday she stood up in the middle of the living room and went to take a step and face planted it.  It a weird way I was relieved that she didn't take her first real step.  I don't want her walking yet she is to little and she is my baby.

3.  She stands on all the furniture and walks around.

4.  She is finally getting quite the personality she laughs smiles and will say hi and mamama.  It is always three mamama's never just one or two.  It is so cute when you walk in and say Hi she will say it back.

5.  She doesn't have teeth yet which is a little strange, but I can see two on the bottom middle that have almost broke through the skin.  I can't wait for them to finally come, because I am sure they are causing her a little pain even though she seems ok.

6.  She hates baby food, but will eat anything we are eating.  I need to do a better job feeding her, but she really seems perfectly healthy and happy with breastmilk.

7.  This is a big one she finally takes a bottle like a pro.  It took a while and she doesn't like it very much, but if she is with Jamie or a tender she will take one if she gets hungry enough.  

8.  She sleeps clear through the night usually she goes to bed at 10 and sleeps until almost 10.... It is awesome. 

9.  She loves going outside and will try to escape any time the door is open.  

10.  She has crazy hair a lot of long whispy strands right in the middle of her hair.

11.  She throws temper tantrums, she knows what she wants and if you take something from her she will yell and scream....hahah super cute right....

12.  She loves her momma, but her next choice is always Aunt Rikki.  She can spot Rikki a mile away and will take off after her every time.  

13.  We finally got her to where she kind of is ok in the water.  She doesn't have a complete melt down.

14.  She loves to blow rasberries on everyone she thinks it is so funny, especially when you do it to her.

We love this little cutie so much and I am thankful every day to have her.  Major picture overload....

6 Months

Oh dang, this is a bitter sweet post for me.  I makes me really depressed that my baby is already six months old.  Time is going way to fast and I really hate how quickly babies grow the first year.  So Korver has reached a ton of milestones this last month.  She can officially sit up all on her own without leaning on her arms.  She rolls all over the place, and is getting quite good at rolling into trouble...already..  She loves to stick her tongue out at everyone and she blows little fart sounds all at the same time.  It is super cute and makes me smile every time.  She love to growl if you growl at her she will growl right back.  She still will not take a bottle and hates eating baby food takes one bite and spits it right in my face.  I am not going to worry about it though, because she is healthy and happy.  So if all she wants is boob milk I guess that is what she can have.  Any tips on getting her to take a bottle would be much appreciated.  Me and Jamie are going on a get away the first weekend in April and she needs to be drinking out of a bottle by then.  She is starting to crawl, I catch her randomly up on all fours trying to get the courage to do it.  She is finally getting a little tooth I can actually see it right below the surface.  It has seriously been the hardest tooth to come through and it has taken like a month for it to make an appearance.  She will not sleep in her pack n play or crib.  So she is still in her little newborn bed.  It makes me laugh every morning when I wake up the weird ways she will be sleeping in it.  I will post a picture of her crazy sleeping positions.  She loves her sisters and they love her to death.  She is really spoiled and I don't think she will ever learn to communicate, because all she has to do is cry and she gets whatever she wants from someone.  We love her to death and she is really such a sweetie.

Time for a picture overload.....

Love that little tongue...

Have you ever seen a baby pose..  She is a little ham..

One of the many ways she hangs out in her bed she won't give up.

Not to happy about doing home work with daddy!

Sitting in big girl high chair at the restaurant. 

Modeling her new outfit..  

Big sister always loving on her.

Doesn't that look comfortable:)

One of her favorite places to fall asleep.

Another tongue picture..

The Big 5

Oh man how time is flying!!!  I hate the fact that my little sweetie is five months old already.  I just want her to stop right now and not get any bigger for like three years.  Korver is at my favorite time, they are so sweet and funny at this age....and not big enough yet to make huge messes.

A few things she is doing lately...

She can role over both ways it is super cute, because she gets so proud when she does it and she looks so stinking cute while doing it.  When she goes from her back to stomach her head pops way up and she looks around to make sure we are all looking at her and then she just grins from ear to ear and kicks her little legs.... Cutest thing in the world...

She loves her sisters whenever she even hears their voices she searches them out and gives them a huge grin..  she also does this with her daddy..  I don't know who this makes more happy them or her.

She had her first taste of rice cereal and she absolutely hated it... we will have to keep practicing that one.

She will not take a bottle even if she is starving to death while daddy is watching her..  It is crazy though because I gave her one a few months ago and she drank a whole 4 oz.  But since that one bottle she refuses.

She had her first doctors appointment for sickness she has been sick since December and I finally decided I better take her in the doctor tested her for RSV and was almost positive she had it.  But when the test came back it was negative but she tested positive for Bronchitis so she has been taking the pink bubble gum medicine for three days now.  She hates it I have to pretty much shove the dropper in her throat for her to swallow it.

She weighs 16.5 pounds and is such a cute little chunk..

She sits up on her own and is really working hard on trying to scoot...

She growls and jabbers all the time she loves hearing herself I have decided.

She sleeps for ten hours each night....  She is an awesome sleeper..  She also takes at least three naps a day.

She has a blow out every day... This is really annoying.. I have to change her jammies at least once a day.

She is wearing 6 to 9 month clothes..

She is the best baby and she loves her momma...

This is about what she looks like all the time lately poor sick baby..

Daddy having some fun playing with the mustaches...

Thank you Aunt Rikki we just love this cute little hat..

Don't know if you can tell, but we finally found out she has exzema and we used cortaid on it for two days and it completely cleared up..   So happy about that..

Daddy wishing he had some facial hair..

4 Months

Oh man time sure does fly..  This little cutie just turned four months old.  I got so busy over the holidays that I totally missed her three month post.  Korver is just the sweetest baby in the whole world.  She very rarely cries at all still and she sleeps clear through the night....yay....  A few things that she has started doing, she will role over and she sucks her little thumb or whole hand.  It is really so cute I love when she does it.  I might get bad mom of the year award, but I have done nothing to stop her it is so nice because she doesn't need a binkie she just uses her thumb.  She giggles and smiles so much. Her little smile just lights up my whole life.  She can kind of sit up, I think maybe she is just so chubby that her roles support her.  She talks all the time and growls and grunts.  She will just sit there and grunt and growl until someone holds her.  She is very observant always looking around at everything and just taking her surroundings in. She loves her daddy so much it makes me a little jealous whenever I am holding her she is always looking for him.  And once he smiles or talks to her she is content.  She does this for me, but only if someone else is holding her.  It is just so sweet that she loves us so much all ready.  She is starting to know people and doesn't really like strangers holding her if she can't see me right there with her.  She loves her big sisters and they Sure Do Love Her.  Sometime to much!   We love you little Korver you are such a sweetie.  Oh dang I almost forgot...  We blessed Korver in my moms ward on December 2nd.  Jamie did a great job like always.  He blessed her that she would be a good example to her sisters and would always do what right.  I really believe that even know she is just such a content and happy little person.   I hope she can always be that way.  My grandma Rohde made her dress and she looked absolutely beautiful.  Aunt Rikki made her head band I think Rikki should start selling her stuff she does such a beautiful job.  It was a great day spent with all the people I love most in the world.
