4 Month Photos

Stacey did it again! She came over and took Kaia's 4 month pics last week and as usual, she did a fantastic job!! Too many good ones to choose from! Since I've already emailed and posted the blog on facebook, I figured I should post it here as well! Check out http://staceymphotography.blogspot.com/ and scroll down to Kaia's section. You can view the whole slideshow by clicking on the slideshow icon. Enjoy!! Thanks to Stacey from Stacey M Photography....you guys should check her out!!

Today is Grampie's surgery...open heart. Keep him in your prayers! Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving week!

Congratulations Sean!!!

I am so proud of my hubby! If you remember, he left for 5 days to take a class in Minnesota last month. While he was there, he took "the hardest test ever" to become certified as a Flight Paramedic and we found out today, after several long weeks of worry, that he PASSED!!! Congratulations honey!! Kaia and I are so proud of you. Our smarty pants!! Now he has more letters after his name than I do!!!

I just had to add this pic of Baby K at the wheel! The Trainor's get 'em started early!

Please say a prayer for my Grandfather and our family this week. He is about to have major surgery and we need all the thoughts and prayers we can get!!

Rainy Beach Walk

Since it was such a beautiful day last Wednesday, Sean and I decided to take Baby K to Harkness Park for a walk on the beach! Of course, as soon as we get there it starts to rain! We took a few pics but didn't get to walk like we planned!

I bought a kit to make a mold of Kaia's hand to keep as an ornament. Her little hands are my favorite part!! Of course, since nothing ever works out like it is supposed to, we didn't get our cute, perfect little hand mold like the cover showed! After many attempts, and hardening plaster, we gave up with the hand and used her foot. That didn't come out beautifully either but at least I can see for sure that she has my gigantic feet already! I bought her cute little boots size 3-6 months last week....and they don't fit!! She is only a little over 3 months, poor kid! Here is a pic of our plaster disaster!

I have to add the most recent pic of her after Nonny gave her a bath. I think one of the first few posts had one as well and I can't believe how much she has grown since then! And finally, here she is with Pop, asleep in the chair! And for the record, she NEVER takes a pacifier from us, what is the secret??

Halloween Fun!

Happy belated Halloween everyone! Friday night was fun hanging out at Jac's with the fam, handing out candy and playing Wii! Kaia was rather fussy that night so I don't think she had too much fun. The costume didn't last very long! Saturday night was the annual benefit dance for my late cousin Erin. It was a great turnout and everyone's costumes were hilarious!! Baby K was in a much better mood as well! I'll share pics of everyone...let's see, we have Dog the Bounty Hunter and his preggo wife Beth, Juno and Bleeker, Batman and his little peapod, some FBI woman and I was dressed as the mother of a 3 month old!

I can't believe we are now in November and I am already planning Christmas eve dinner, which I am hosting this year! Kaia is being baptised in less than 2 weeks, Thanksgiving is less than 4 weeks away and I am going back to work this month!! I am dreading going back. Kaia is so much fun now! She smile a lot and laughs when I talk to her. She rolls and uses her hands! I'm so proud!! Happy November all!

Where did my kid go?

I think someone took my colicky, screaming baby in exchange for the happy and smiley one I have now!! Where did she go? I think I'll keep this cutie!!

Kaia has now rolled over from her belly to her back! This is a big milestone for all of you non-parents out there!! Of course, mama (me) is the one who has been working with her on this and who got to see her roll over?? Daddy of course!! I was upstairs making a pie (this doesn't happen often) and Sean yells up to me that she just rolled over! At least I got to see her do it yesterday. We love her!!

Here are a few pics from last weekend. Since Sean was away, we didn't join the gang camping but we did visit. Here is Baby K with Nonny!

Nap Time!

So my child who never sleeps is now sleeping (napping) at 8pm! How on earth will she sleep tonight?? Maybe she is just excited that her daddy is coming home tonight after being gone for 5 days!! We missed him! Kaia and mama had fun together though. We were sad that our Red Sox lost! Kaia sat in her Bumbo chair yesterday, what a big girl!! Of course, we had to take pictures and send them to Daddy!!

We are so excited to meet Auntie's new baby in a few months! Not only am I a new mama but I will be an auntie for the first time as well! More good baby news...my cousin Vicki is preggo with #2, Emma will be a big sister soon! Congrats guys!

Kaia is going to be a crazy hat girl! How cute are they?
