kynlee's weight and car seat?

I took Kynlee in today to get her weighted she is 16 pounds now. She was 15 lbs 8 oz on Dec 16th so she is gaining a little.

I have a question for everyone???

When did you put your kid in the next size car seat? Did everyone wait until their kid was 1 year and 20 pounds?? I also can't decide if I should buy a pink cute car seat or get a blue one that can be for a boy or a girl so then when or if I have boys I can use it???

Since we will be gone for Christmas we had Kynlee open her presents tonight it was so much fun she did so good. She loved eating the paper and ripping it and she loved the toy she did really really good. It was so much fun she got so excited. She would smile, giggle and just be so happy. She loved all her toys it'll take some time to play with all of them.

kynlee's first tooth

Kynlee has her first tooth! Britton found it tonight, it's her bottom left one it's just barely showing but it's so cute and very sharp!!

Kynlee is 9 1/2 months old today!! I can't believe how the time flies!

I took Kynlee in to get a weight check and she is now 15 lbs 8 oz so she gained 1 oz in 11 days, they said she is still way under but she is at least gaining and not loosing so I guess that part is good. She is 25 1/2 inches long.

We got a lot of snow today so I went out and shelved the driveway and sidewalks (which I don't know why I did it's still snowing and they will be covered again in the morning but it was good exercise I guess) and Kynlee played in the snow and watched me. She loved it but it was way too cold to stay out very long.

Saturday we had my niece Paige's bday party she was one year! Then Sunday we had my family Christmas party it was a lot of fun!! Kynlee got to open a present and she had a blast but she just wanted to eat the paper but she knows how to rip it open already it's so cute! We got a lot of snow too it's great!

Tonight we went to our new wards Christmas party it was really fun. We had Thai food for dinner it was very interesting. I have had it before but it's weird every time, but it's nice to have a change. Everybody was so nice in our new ward and loved Kynlee! We met a lot of new people tonight as we did last Sunday at church too.

Also today my niece Paige Noel is one years old!!!

So the doctor finally called me today. The celiac test came back that she is a 15 and the normal is 16. So she is a little bit under which means she is on the verge of having celiac disease. The doc wants to test her again in 4 months, and if she keeps going down then she has it, but if she goes up then she doesn't have it. I am supposed to get her weighted every 10 days and make sure she gains and not looses weight. So overall I guess it's good news we will just pray it goes up not down on the next test. I'm just supposed to feed her a lot more and get her weight to come up. I am going to continue to nurse, I have been having a hard time with deciding what to do but I feel like this is best for her and I will continue to feed her more solids.

Kynlee doc

I took Kynlee back to the doctor today and he did blood work; I was so sad cuz they couldn't find a vein and they poked her a few times it was sad. They never can find one on me either.. Anyways he wants to check for Celiac disease and check her thyroid. I will get the results on Monday. My mom and sister were diagnosed with Celiac and then they got tested again a year later and didn't have it, but they had to follow a special diet and not have any wheat all gluten free stuff. The docs thought I had it a while back too cuz I have a lot of stomach problems but I have never been tested so I might have it who knows. Anyways I am also supposed to feed her more solid food and less milk. The breast morning and night and baby food the rest of the day. He said I might loose my milk only doing it twice a day so if so I will do formula morning and night until she is a year. He wants me to continue to breast feed as much as possible cuz it has antibodies in the milk to fight off sickness for the winter, I hope I don't loose my milk but we will see. The doctor said they are doing a bunch more studies on the formula and more and more it's not as good as breast milk so I hope I can continue to feed her the breast for 3 more months but we will see. I think she is perfectly fine and she is just going to be little and petite. She looks just fine to me not so skinny not to chubby. The doctor wants me to take her in every 10 days to get weighted. So I have to wait until Monday to find out what the blood results say.

The doctor also said it's just fine that she doesn't have teeth just means that they will be that much better teeth when they do come in. Also he muscle tone and everything looks great so she will crawl in time. He keeps kidding me saying why do you want her to crawl anyways then you be chasing her and keeping her out of everything; which is true I don't want to but yet I worry why she isn't yet but it doesn't matter she is perfect to me and she will crawl when she is ready! She will move along the ground if she really wants to; but she is perfectly fine to just sit and play and mommy will bring her everything she needs!! :)

Tonight Kynlee and I went to our old ward church Christmas party it was a lot of fun. Kynlee got to see Santa and sit on his lap she didn't even cry she liked it! We are alone until Saturday Britton, his mom and sister went to Boise for college stuff.

Kynlee 9 months

Kynlee is 9 months old today! I took her to get a weight check cuz the doctor told me to do this every month cuz she has been so under weight. -Well not very good news she is 15 lbs 4 oz. She lost 6 ounces in a month. She is now under the 5 % for her age. The doctor has always been concerned about her weight and now he is really worried. She was in the 10% at 7 months then she went up to the 25% at 8 months cuz she gained a pound now she has dropped clear down to under the 5 % and he always said that 5 % is a worry and under the 5 % is a bigger worry so I am very worried about her. I didn't see the doctor today cuz they didn't have an opening but I have an appointment tomorrow morning so I can get her all checked out and find out what's going on with her.

Bought another house and found renters for our old one

Today we met with a lady to have her sign all the paper work including the deed to her house over to us. So now we own three houses. She is the same lady that we bought the house we are living in right now. She had two houses cuz she went through two divorces anyways she was in foreclosure with both the houses. We closed on the house we are living in now so we helped her; we saved her from going bankrupt and from having a foreclosure on her credit report. Now it's time to start with the other house, it's a fix and flip but I think we will just buy it and sell it to another investor and let them do the fixing :) it'll just depend not sure yet. It will take a few months to close on it too, cuz once again we have to deal with the banks... but I'm so excited our real estate investing is really taking off! We know it would in time, and once we bought one house a bunch more deals hit us so it'll be really busy buying and selling houses from now on!! YAY

Our house that we lived in before we moved to the new house. Well at first we put it for sale but then we decided we wanted to hold on to it and keep it away and just rent it out. We met with a guy last night that looked at it and he wants to rent it. He will give us the deposit and all that on Friday so YAY it is now being rented. No fun making two house payments so now we won't have to hopefully!!! Except when we buy more houses.

WE PUT UP OUR CHRISTMAS TREE TODAY! WE ALSO PUT UP DECORATIONS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, IT WAS A LOT OF FUN TO DECORATE THE NEW HOUSE.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!! HAVE A GREAT DAY! EVERYONE BE SAFE AND HAVE A FUN FUN DAY WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!

WE ARE ALL MOVED INTO OUR NEW HOUSE!! IT'S AWESOME! WE LOVE IT SO MUCH IT'S VERY NICE! KYNLEE HAS HER OWN BATHROOM!!! IT'S 6 BEDROOMS 3 BATHROOMS 3 CAR GARAGE JUST VERY BEAUTIFUL! SO YA WE ARE ALL MOVED IN BUT I'M NOT ALL UNPACKED OR DONE DECORATING. IT'S BEEN VERY EXHAUSTING ON ME I'M SO DRAINED FROM ALL THIS. I HAVEN'T GOT IT ALL DONE YET.

KYNLEE WAS NAPPING WHILE I TOOK THE PICS SO I'LL POST SOME OF HER ROOM LATER TOO...

We are pretty much all moved in to our new house. We are all done painting, we shampooed the carpets, and cleaned some. We are going to move all our furniture and the big stuff tomorrow so then we will be all moved in!!! I have been so busy the last few days I've been running around like crazy... I'm so exhausted!!!! Kynlee has been such a good baby during all the moving!!! After we move all the big stuff tomorrow I will clean our old house and clean the new house and finish decorating.

I painted all day today. My friend Alisa was here and she helped me clean and move. She watched Kynlee while I painting and stuff. She came Monday and stayed with me until today it was really good having her come stay. I got a lot done today more then half way moved in and almost all painted just need to do it a second time tomorrow make it look better. It looks really good! We painted the trim in our room brown and the trim in Kynlee's room brown so Kynlee's room is pink and brown!!! it's adorable. We were going to just paint it white but then we thought pink and brown would be so cute and it is! My mother in law and sister in law are here and going to help me tomorrow move some more and paint and pack and unpack and help with Kynlee so tomorrow will be busy again and Friday then Saturday we moving all the big stuff.

so we are finally moving into our new house. we finally closed and so I am going to be painting tomorrow and then move all the boxes I have packed into the new house and unpack and finish packing the rest of my house up. we are going to find renters for our old house and move into the new house. All week I am just going to move all the small stuff and on Saturday hopefully we can move all the big stuff and get moved all in this weekend. my friend is helping me so I am very glad for the help!

Kynlee and I spent a week in Randolph visiting family. We go see grandma great eastman every time we go Kynlee loves to go see everyone! We had a lot of fun!

dr apt

I took Kynlee to the doctor today for her booster shot for her flu shot. She didn't even cry at all while she got her shot she is a tough baby. She is 8 months and now weights 15 lbs 10 oz. so she gained one pound exactly in one month last month she was 14 lbs 10 oz. She is now in the 25% so the doctor said that is much better and he isn't as worried. So I am glad apparently I have been feeding her more like he said to do. She has a yeast infection so she has cream for that. She is healthy anddr perfect things are great!

Today Kynlee is 8 months old! She says ma ma and da da!! It's very cute! She is such a good healthy baby and she is so much fun!

Britton's Grandma Sommer died on Thursday night. She had a really bad heart attack. She was 75 years old and a very special lady she will be missed! Today is Britton's dad's birthday and it was his mother that died that's really sad for him what a birthday present!

We went to a carnival party tonight for our church. It was a lot of fun. Kynlee had fun she was a witch, I was a witch and Britton was a vampire. They had a contest with the cutest costumes and we won!! It was fun!!

We carved a pumpkin last night and Kynlee loved it!! She had so much playing in the pumpkin "guts" it was so fun to watch her. We had a blast! She got so sticky and dirty we just stuck her in the tub right after. She tried to eat it some but mostly played.

Kynlee is 7 1/2 months! Kynlee is starting to crawl she doesn't get on her hands and knees but she pushes her feet into the ground and then moves on her belly she can get around!!! Still no teeth but I am glad about that! She still stands really well and sits really well. She loves to splash and kick in the bath tub. She loves going for walks with me, she never cries she just sits there and looks around she is such a good baby everyday!! She is very healthy. She goes to bed around 8pm and gets up around 10am everyday!!! She is a very good baby and a very good sleeper. I just put her in her crib at night time or nap time and she goes right to sleep but she has to have her binkie and her dolly and I turn on her mobile she loves all this. It's going to be tough to wean the binkie but it's all good for now! it's a life saver! She says ma ma I am not sure if she knows what she is saying but she says ma ma and it sounds like mama to me and I'm happy with that! She gives me kisses also. I've been teaching her how to say stuff, well I just say stuff to her all the time and she has been listening and catching on to some of it. She likes to be read to, and I also sing to her and she loves to be fed anything! She is such a good eater! Except for green beans and peas lately she hasn't been liking them. :) hope it'll change. I been feeding her a lot of different stuff cuz the docs say that's what helps them not be picky eaters later so I hope she isn't. Britton and I like most everything so she should too I hope that will be a lot easier. She likes treats she does really well chewing stuff. She also loves her tongue always has it hanging out. She hasn't sucked on her thumb in a long time I guess that was just a short thing. She giggles and smiles a lot she is always smiling! I'm still breastfeeding ; I've been trying to decide whether to stop or not but I've decided it's best for her and I have read a lot of studies about it and it's best for her there are a lot of reasons why it's best; higher IQ, healthier babies, it's more natural milk, not so much chubbiness, so I'm going to stick with it. Probably around a year I will wean the breast and bininkie. She reaches up for me when she is on the ground or wherever she puts her arms in the air and wants me to pick her up. She also will wave bye bye.

Update on our house we are deciding we might do a lease option or put it for rent and hold on to it for a while. we gotta get packing and get ready to move in November into the new house!

Kynlee at 7 1/2 months

Kynlee is 7 1/2 months old today! She is sitting (has been for a while) when we put her on her belly she crawls with her belly but no hands and knees yet. She stands along the couch. I think she will walk before she crawls but who knows. She hates her belly and doesn't really want anything to do with that department but she loves to stand. She still doesn't have any teeth but I am not complaining about that. She is being a lil stinker now she won't eat her vegs baby food, she will still eat the fruit though! She is a great baby I have no complants she is healthy never hardly sick and she sleeps all night. Goes to bed around 8pm and gets up around 10am she has always slept really good. She likes to shop with mom and sleep in with mom she is no dumby she knows whats good! Her hair is really starting to come in. She was born with tons but it fell out or her head got bigger one or the other and now it's really starting to come back. Well that's a little update about my baby girl that's getting so big!! If anyone has advice about what to do to get her to eat better, teach her to crawl, or if I should get a walker for her let me know!!!?? thanks

Hello I'm back. I went and stayed with my parents in Randolph for a week while Britton went to Phoenix Arizona for some colleges classes. He has taken all of the classes now so our business should really take off now. We are still working on our new house we are getting closer and about ready to move in. We have a few people interested in our old house to buy but nothing yet. We had a lot of fun visiting family. I went to the doctor today cuz my ear has been bothering me for like 2 weeks. I have infected ear wax and a lot of extra fluid in my ear. So they rinsed out my ear and gave me a prescription so I hope it gets better soon I had a lot of pressure and it hurt. I feel much better now. While we were in Randolph there was an earthquake ya it was centered in Randolph!! it was a 3.3 so it wasn't big but we did feel the house shake and it was big enough to know what it was. We never expected to have an earthquake in Randolph so it was really crazy. Just goes to show you never know what might happen...

Kynlee is 7 months old today!!

Kynlee's x-rays

The doctor called me with the results to Kynlee's x-rays of her hips. He said the test came back completely fine. They are completely normal for her age. She just doesn't have as much flexibility as other babies right now and she is really tense (like me). He said she will be fine and I don't need to do anything. I take her back in November so he will check her again then. So I was so glad to hear good news everything is fine with her!!

Quirks!

Quirks!

The Rules are....tell about 8 quirks of yours & then fellow bloggers do the same.

1- I'm a freak about keeping my doors locked to my house at all times especially when I am home alone and at night.

2- I am a clean freak I just have to have everything clean and neat. I like things straight. If I see a magazine on the coffee table I have to make sure it's straight. I have to organize things all the time.

3- It drives me nuts when I tell someone something and I ask them not to say anything to anyone then I find out that someone else knows. duh I'm going to know who told.

4- Even if its really hot I still have to have a light sheet over me. I can't sleep unless there is something over me. I also can't sleep if it's really hot I have to have air on or the windows open.

5- I have to make my bed daily. And I can't go to bed unless I have a shower first, and brush my teeth. I can't go to bed unless the dishes are put in the dish washer and my kitchen is cleaned up. I have to clean Kynlee's toys up all the time. I have to dress Kynlee the second she wakes up in the morning.

6- I'm a freak about taking pictures of Kynlee I have to take one at least daily and I have to get them done every month and send them to people. I can't help it but I don't think it's bad I just love my little girl and think she is the most beautiful baby ever so I am proud of her and want to take pictures of her and post them and show her off. (I post more on myspace then on my blog.)

7- Wrappers, empty cans, clothes on the floor etc... I have to pick it all up the second I see it and put it away or throw it away.

8-I have to put my wedding ring on before I can leave the house if I forget it I have to go back home and get it.

I have plenty more but I better stop here.....have fun and do it too!

It's kinda fun to read about other people's quirks and know that I am not the only freak in the world.

I took Kynlee to the doctor again today for her 6 month check up and shots even though she is 7 months.. the doctor is behind. Anyways she got her shots and her flu shot it was sad she cries so hard. The doctor was doing the exam and was bending her legs and her hips wouldn't bend the way they are supposed to, she cried really hard when he was bending her legs. So he recommended that I get her x-rays so I took her to the hospital and got the x-rays done today and now I am just waiting for the results to find out what's wrong with her hips. If she has something wrong they will have to put the braces on her legs and straighten up her hips. I am so worried I hope there is nothing wrong with my little girl. She is under in height and weight and now this... They said it'll be a few days when the doctor will know the results of the tests.

I went to the eye doctor and I have glaucoma in my eyes so I gotta have a bunch of test done for that.....

I took Kynlee in to the doc office to get weighted and I was expecting her to be at a chubby weight, but she wasn't she is 14 lbs 8 oz and the nurse said that's in the 10% so she is really under in weight and they are really concerned. She last got weight in July and she was 13lbs so she has only gained 1 lb and 8 oz in 2 1/2 months. The doc is going to call me and figure out what we need to be doing to get her weight up cuz I wasn't able to see the doc today only the nurse. She is under in her height too. I feed her tons I can't figure it out and like I said she looks chubby and healthy to me. She is very happy all the time she giggles and baby talks she rolls all over the place, she can sit all by herself, she eats cereal, baby food and loves juice. I have been trying to decide if I should stop breast feeding and just do formula I wonder if my milk doesn't have enough whatever she needs to gain enough weight. I'll see what the doc says and go from there but I just don't know what to do. I am worried about my baby girl and I feel like I'm doing something wrong I'm a bad mom :( Kynlee is 6 1/2 months old today! sept 18th

BRITTON AND I DID AN OPEN HOUSE TODAY CUZ WE ARE SELLING OUR HOUSE, AND IT WENT VERY WELL WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT FAMILIES THAT ARE VERY INTERESTED IN BUYING OUR HOUSE SO IT SHOULD SELL SOON TO ONE OF THEM!! IT'LL TAKE A WHILE TO DO THE CLOSING AND EVERYTHING BUT STILL.

WE BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE

Today was a great day for us: we have our own business Sommer Financial Solutions, LLC where we are investors and we buy properties to fix and flip or rentals or just buy and sell anything like that. Today we bought a house for us to live in. So we are going to put our house for sale in the next little while and sell it and we are going to move into the new house. It is a very nice home we are so excited best part of this was we were able to help a lady that was in a ruff spot; that is what I love about our company and what we do cuz we get to help people get out of a bad situation it's so awesome. We saved the lady thousands of dollars and we saved her credit and lots more, plus we made a friend out of her, she couldn't quit thanking us for helping her get out of her situation. Not only do we get a nice new house, make money, but also we helped a lady in a really bad situation, we helped her get out of it! Now she doesn't have to have the problem, the stress or anything like that anymore we truly helped her! Our business is all about helping people!!! We love what we do! It's so nice to know we have the power to help people in need. It's not about the money or anything like that it's such a great feeling to know we HELPED her!

TODAY IS MY 4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE GOT MARRIED 4 YEARS AGO TODAY. TIME GOES BY SO FAST. WE GOT MARRIED IN THE IDAHO FALLS TEMPLE ON AUGUST 12TH 2004.

Kynlee's bottle

Kynlee wouldn't take a bottle at all no way, but tonight I tried one with formula and she took it and she also held the bottle herself she is such a big girl! She would take a sippy cup with no problem but now she will take both so that's nice!~ I breast feed so that's why she wouldn't take a bottle.

Kynlee rolled over on July 29th! she went from her back to her belly and the from her belly to her back. She is such a big girl I'm proud of her, but also sad cuz she is getting big. She is also really ticklish it's fun to tickle her now and she giggles.
