One Day at a Time

Really, I am... I seem to write half a blog post and then I save it for later and then a few weeks later I go back and rewrite it and then save it.... Maybe I should just post small little things. But here goes the catch up!

Our first family picture we took while in Northern Idaho last weekend.

Devin got a job at Hiland Partners in December. Over night we had to pack up and move everything. We moved an hour away from Minot in a small town called Stanley. We have a cute little three bedroom - three bathroom townhome just out of town. Sometime in January Hiland was sold to a much bigger company called Kinger Morgan. We were a bit worried that the changes would be big and we might be out of a job or our company housing or something. In the end, Devin was moved over to Kinder Morgan and things are staying the same and getting better.

What I look like running on 4 hours of sleep and 15 hours of driving to get to my brother's homecoming.

I am trying to be a super mom. It gets tough some days, but in the end I know I can do it. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, feeding and changing a baby, grocery shopping, planning, and working out finances. It seems I don't have much time for anything else. I hope when the weather gets warmer, I can get out and play some volleyball and go walking with Kamille. Truthfully I'm scared to do that around here with all the creeps running around these days. A few months ago my dad told me that one of his coworkers went for a jog. He got just out of the RV park and some guys stopped, threw a rock at his head, shanked him and robbed him. A few months before that my little brother used to jog on that same road every evening. (That's scary)

She started making this face a month ago. She scrunches up her nose and smiles.

Kamille is now four months! Time is going by so fast. She rolls over all the time and is now almost able to roll from her back to her tummy. She tries so hard to sit up but when I try to help her she just stands up and gets all happy. She LOVES to stand up and hold on to me or the couch. If her legs were a little longer, I know that she would like her Johnny Jumper or her walker, but she is just too little. She started eating rice cereal and oatmeal cereal. We gave her a taste of banana baby food and she loved it. She likes when we use a spoon and she tries to hold it. Sometimes when she cries she says MAMA... and it breaks my heart. Overall she is a happy baby and loves life. At her 4 month check up she was 13 lbs 2 oz and measured 24.25 inches. She rose from the 10th percentile to the 25th percentile.

She loves her Auntie Carlene

Since Thanksgiving she has been having trouble keeping formula down. The doctors have told us that she should be getting better at 5 months. I can't wait when I can pick out an outfit and she can wear it all day. I go through 3 everyday right now. Last night was the first night she slept in her crib in her room across the house. It was really hard for me. In fact, when she cried at 3 this morning I cuddled her up and brought her back to her bassinet. I'll be able to leave her in her room someday, but right now, I don't have to. :) Because I'm the MOM, that's why!

Jacob loves Kamille! The sign says "Welcome home I've waited my whole life to meet you"

Fun note: This year we have so much to look forward to. First of all my brother, Jacob, came home a week ago!!! He was in Oklahoma. In May my brother, Justin, comes home from London. Then in June my sister is getting married and the week after that my sister-in-law is getting married and then we have a family reunion at Lagoon! (This is just half the year). It's exciting!

I think it's funny how similar Justin and Jacob have their hair after all this time.

Jenica Lloyd and Chris Price...to be married on June 13th

Carlene Jackson and Nate Backus...to be married on June 18th

God Bless,
Kaylynn and Devin Jackson
