Jayden update

Hey everyone.. its been a super long time since I've done a baby update (sorry about that.. life just kinda gets in the way often). Well I planned a party.. a very special birthday party for a very special baby thats growing up wayyyy too fast for this mommy!

just hours old

3 months old

On Friday (Jan 11) Jayden turned 3!! I cannot believe it, it feels like I just had her. I've been in denial since the last birthday so it was really hard to deal with this one lol. She requested (more like required lol) a tea party. So of course I had to do a mad tea party with an Alice/Disney theme.

4 months old

8 months old

1 year old

Jayden and her sissy Harmony

Jayden & daddy @ Disneyworld June 2012

Dec 2013 - almost 3 years old

3 years old 

Over the past 3 years she's learned to do so many things so fast. It's like she doesn't even need my help with anything anymore.. for all you moms out there I know you know my pain here and you can feel the sting lol. Nothing hurts quite as bad as her saying "no mommy, I can do it myself. I'm a big girl" except of course for the first time she told me the most hurtful thing I've ever heard in my life "Mommy, I hate you!" :( broke my heart! And the words turn into sentences, which turn into paragraphs.. and next thing they're in college lol.

Jayden favorites:

food: chocolate sandwiches (nutella), chocolate, candy, mac n cheese

movie: anything disney and care bears and my little ponys

person: her sissy Harmony & daddy

animal: dogs & cats "a debra" (aka zebra)

blankie: "ish blankie" (fish blankie w/ yellow ribbon trim her great grandma Larsen made)

Jayden dislikes:

using the potty chair

listening

being woke up

"Umm I don't wike monters and umm thats what i don't like and I dont wike the dark too!"

Jayden milestones:

speaking in sentences & paragraphs

learning songs and singing them with out missing a beat fairly fast

learning some letters.. what they look like and what they are "o, i, etc"

she can write "I <3 a="" and="" few="" her="" letters="" name="" numbers.="" other="" u="">

shes not scared of bath time anymore LOL

A few funny Jayden quotes:

Harmony sat on Jayden's lap and Jayden yelled "OWE! Break my legs!!"

"I'm big and that makes mommy sad and that makes daddy old!" 

LOL!!!

I wrote most of this awhile ago and am just now getting to posting it.. so long ago that it was supposed to be posted before her 3rd birthday. I figured I better get it up before I forget. 

Next I'll have a Harmony update.. maybe.... tomorrow?? That would be nice we'll see. yesterday Harmony was exactly 1.5 years old :(. Where does the time go? 

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!

Maternity LO & a trip to the hospital

Here is another page we made for Jaydens scrapbook. My brother took our maternity pics for us and since Adam is a Highway Safety Engineer for FHWA he thought it would be funny to do some of me walking like the guy on the signs and then he was gonna photoshop the guy into a pregnant girl lol.. he never got around to it but him and my brother thought it was HILARIOUS to make me do this! So this layout fits into the following challenge:

ArtfulDelight - Sketch #1

We had a very exciting day today... Jayden was projectile vomiting starting at around 2pm.. she was having trouble breathing so I called Adam (he came home right away) and while he was on his way home she puked again. And then again when he got home so we took her in to the hospital. During her check up the dr was getting ready to examine her and she started puking again. This doc was great (we've never had him before but hope to in the future) he grabbed some tissue and paper towels and started cleaning her and then he felt so bad he was trying to clean the puke off her blankie.. (so nice of him). The dr said it was probably a delayed allergic reaction to her formula.. (shes had a "problem" since birth and they thought it was an allergy to milk so we've had her on Alamentium from then to oct 2 (we've tried switchin her to milk formula before this also and ended up switching her back again)). So they told us to give her pedialite (2 oz every 1 for 4 hours) than switch her back to her "normal" formula. Shes sleeping now and doing good but she gave Mommy quite the scare today :).

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great night!

Scrapbook LO of Jayden 3mo Sailor

Last night Adam & I worked on Jayden's baby scrapbook a bit... We got one page done LOL... but Adam has another page started. This LO fits into a few challenges:

Get Picky - #1 Sketch

The Pink Stamper - With or For a Child

Simon Says Stamp & Show - Anything But a Card

Made By Momo - #15 Anything EXCEPT a Card

I had this paper in my stash from Michaels (got it in FL over a year ago), Used Life's A Beach to cut the waves and the octopus, and Create A Critter to cut the sun... (cut at aprox 8in). These photos are ones I took in my studio of Jayden for her 3 month old photo shoot. (There will be plenty more scrapbook layouts I do with these pics in the future so don't be surprised when you see them again lol. Since I do at the very least 1 shoot of her a month on her birthday.. we're doing multiple scrapbooks for her. This one is probably going in the main book (the main book is from when I found out I was pregnant to her 1st Birthday).. then theres gonna be a photo shoots book (that'll have a few pages of pics from each photo shoot we've done) and then another book that'll be B-day shoots (that'll only have her b-day shoots in it).. and then a couple of her vacations and trips... but the main book is just gonna be a summery of everything.. the other books will go into details a lot more.

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!
