Back ache, Birthdays & update!

Jesse is now on his 3rd week of no work due to his back injury. We went in for his MRI yesterday. Hoping for the best. He thinks it must be pretty serious since he is still in so much pain. Hope he's wrong... :( This last week we celebrated Grandma Nan & Grandpa Dewain's birthdays. It was fun to go visit them. Of course the best part of their days was seeing Kambree. She is loved by so many people & is so blessed to have all of them in her life. Other than that not much has been going on. We are still working on getting Kambree to eat food. She actually opened her mouth to take a bite 5 times last night. Woot, woot, we're making progress! We all kinda caught a small bit of the bug this weekend thanks to those nasty flu shots! Mostly over it now. Thank goodness! Here are some pics of Kambree thoughout this last week. Gotta love all the clothes this cute girl has! :)

And the winner is....

MOMMY!!! Kambree said her first word last night! At least I think she said it. She was pretty upset & trying to go to sleep. She doesn't really cry but she was doing her whining that she does sometimes when she is really tired or really hungry & I'm pretty dang sure I heard a Mmmmaaaa Mmmmaa! Jesse says he had heard her say MOM-ME before but this was my first time. Pretty exciting stuff, man!!! Just had to brag! I can't beleive my baby is growing up so fast....

Food for thought!

We have been trying, emphasize TRYING, to feed Kambree food since she turned 6 months. She absolutely HATES it!! I think we have a PICKY eater on our hands...(not that she gets it from anywhere strange if you know Jesse & I!) We have tried rice cereal, carrots & sweet potatoes. Each time we try to feed her it's a battle to get in a few bites. She is now waking up more at nights & I think it's because she is needing more nourishment than she is currently getting from milk alone. I'm trying & trying to get more down. Hopefully I have more luck in the coming days or weeks...:( The doctors recommend starting on veggies so that she gets accustomed to their taste before giving fruits since fruit tastes so much better & she needs both to have a healthy diet. I just hope she will like something. Here's a pic of me feeding her. As you can tell more is on her face than in her belly!

Pumpkin Patch

In the sprit of being festive we (Melissa & I) decided to take the kiddos to the pumpkin patch today. We figured it would be fun...Maybe it'll be more fun next year! Lol! It was a fairly nice day so we loaded up the kids & went over to Elsinore to the patch to pick some pumpkins & take some pics. On the way over we had 2 precious sleeping babies that we so RUDELY awakened once we got there. So from the beginning they weren't very happy with us. Once we were standing in line to ride the tractor thru the field we realized how windy it was...not so great for babies, but we went on the "short" ride for the "experience." We rode out on the tractor & stopped in the field to pick our pumpkins. I picked out one that was okay in look & size but was more concerned in the distance away from the tractor since I was lugging around a 6 month old in addition to anything I picked up. Thinking others that were on the tractor would quickly make their selections & we would be on the way Melissa & I positioned & prodded both babies to get a few good pics. They both soon tired of this & just wanted out of there! However...the other people on the tractor took what seemed like FOREVER to us with our grumpy babies who had had enough! Eventually we did make it back to the car & left & ended up getting a couple pumpkins & a few good pics. Here are just a couple for the memories. I'm sure next year will be better!

Needs some work....

So when I started this blog I expected to update it every couple of weeks or more often.....woops! It's now been about 3 months since I started it. Still don't have pics & haven't completely figured this thing out yet! I am going to be working on it & trying to figure it out. Everyone else's is super cute. I think I just need to put some effort into it & I'll get it going!
