Welcome to the World

Our sweet baby boy Carter Steve Kappas was born on Friday April 6th at 2:58am. He was 7lbs 2oz and 20in long. We are so thankful to finally, after what seemed like forever, have him here with us. He is so precious and such a good baby. Every time I look at him I am reminded how lucky I am. He came straight from Heavenly Father into my arms. Motherhood is such a blessing that I am so greatful to get to experience. Sometimes it is hard, really hard, but almost nothing has brought me more joy and happiness in this life. I'm so thankful for all three of my healthy babies!

10 Months Old

My sweet baby is already 10 months old, she has grown and changed so much!

-She is WALKING actually RUNNING everywhere. She has been walking since she was eight months old so she is a pro now. With this new found talent comes trouble!!!! She is into everything and all over the place but that's ok I love it. If she is doing something she shouldn't and I see her she will turn and run as fast as her little legs can carry her away from me laughing and looking back the entire time to see how far away I am.

-She LOVES to eat REAL food and hates her baby food.

-She LOVES to drink from a REAL cup and hates her sippy cup.

-She LOVES to eat with a BIG spoon and hates her little ones.

-She carries EVERYTHING around with her. She is so funny, she will drag the diaper bag all over the living room around in circles as all the stuff is dumping out all along the way. Then she goes and gets the bag of diapers off the changing table and will bring them out in living room with the bag thrown over he shoulder and just carry it around.

-She is REALLY good at making a big MESS! This drives dad crazy but he is getting better.

-She is TALKING, well actually just saying WORDS. She says:
Dada- she says this very well, this is her favorite word
Mama - she doesn't say this as well
Ya - she also says this very well, she screams this actually when she is excited and waves her arms up and down.
Wow - she points to things she likes as she says this
Whts tat - "What's That" she also points to things when she says this it is so funny
Ack - "Jack" This is our dog

-She loves to LAUGH, she has different laughs for different things, she laughs really high pitched if she is showing off, she has a fake laugh she does when other people laugh and she doesn't know why they are laughing but she laughs too, then she has a evil laugh she does when she is doing something she likes, it is HILARIOUS!

-She loves her little stuffed animal doggy that her grandma gave her. She will cuddle with it when she is tired, and she will wrestle with it too, it is so funny, she will just roll all over the floor with the doggy.

-Basically she is such a BIG girl, always learning new things, changing, and growing. We love watching her and helping her as she is growing. I can't believe she is almost a year, WOW, Clay was saying the other day that when she is eight or ten, he can't imagine looking back on these days remembering when she was so little. I hope I can remember everything about her and remember her just how she is right now.

Maleah's Getting So BIG :(

My little one is growing up way to fast! Everyday she is learning new things, she is so curious and wants to touch everything! She can now sit up on her own, and even reach for toys that are close by her without falling over. She is so strong and I know she will be crawling soon, she is already trying. And she is so cute when she pushes her little bum in the air to get on her knees, a few times she has even gotten on her hands and her knees for a few seconds. She loves her baby food and would eat it all the time if I would let her. I lover her so much and I hope that I can cherish and remember all these little moments.






Maleah loves Jack and she laughs and laughs whenever he comes by her, so cute they will be best friends!

Emergency Bath!!!

Maleah pooped and usually it is a fairly solid piece of pooh, but no this time it wasn't and I undid her diaper but I left it under her until I could get a wipe to clean her and in the time from when I undid her diaper to the time I grabbed a wipe she had kicked her legs and got it all over her and she stuck her had in it YUCK! So we took an emergency bath! haha!



After her bath, all clean!

Milestone

Yeah, today Maleah rolled over for the first time!!!! I was so excited she did it a couple of times from her back to her belly. I have been working on it with her for the past few days, and now she is a pro at it. I can't believe she is growing up so fast. I am so thankful to have Maleah, she is such a blessing for our family. I love Maleah so much and I love being a mom to her.
