Daddy

We were going thru pictures of when Nathan and I were babies trying to figure out who Kaycee looks like. I thought she looked like me when i was a baby, but i was way wrong.. She looks just like her daddy when he was a baby! Good thing he was a cute baby! :)

Visiting Utah/Christmas 2009

We went to the temple to see the lights and it was freeeeeezing cold!

This year we had the chance to visit my family in Utah. Kaycee got to see the snow for the first time and she got to meet her aunt Katie for the first time too. She is just the best baby ever and we just can't get enough of our little monkey!

3 Months Old

Kaycee is such a big girl now! It is so amazing how much she has changed, she just gets more and more beautiful each and every single day! She is 3 months old now as of yesterday. I just love love love her to pieces!! She is our snuggly little love bug! She just brings us more and more happiness each and everyday! :) It seemed so hard at first, but now she is just part of routines just naturally. We love watching her grow and learn each day:

~She is now 11.5 pounds and 26 inches long

~She has big blue eyes and her hair has gotten so much lighter than when she was born.. Were hoping for blonde in the long run :)

~She has mommy's long slender toes and fingers :)

~She is very tall for her age.. she fits into 6-12 pants that fit length wise but kind of big around her waist, and same with her pajamas, so we try to get the pajamas without feet so she can wear them longer.

~She loves sitting on her bumbo so that she can see everything that is going on around her

~She will smile at anyone at anytime. (Except when she is hungry or tired)

~She sleeps between 7-9 hours a night and of we are lucky enough she will sleep 10-12 hours, and those nights are the best!

~Loves sucking on her hand, and I'm pretty sure she is getting ready to start teething. (We can feel a little bump on her bottom gums...Not too excited about teething)

~She loves giving mommy and daddy hugs! (I think we like it more!)

~She has been on 4 airplane rides and was very good on all of them.

~She has been on two road trips to Utah and two road trips to Santa Maria

~Has been to Disneyland

~And of course she had been to the beach on many occasions to watch daddy surf

Lucky for us we are in Utah for Christmas with my family, so we are pretty excited to see what KC thinks of the snow! It has been so dry here and so her poor skin on her cheeks and nose are so dry and chapped :( Poor girl.. Were hoping it will not last too long since we will be here for 2 weeks visiting.

Thanksgiving in Santa Maria

Kaycee Bug on her first Thanksgiving.. She was such a happy and good baby!

I know this is a little late, but this thanksgiving we had the chance to go to Santa Maria with Nathans family. It was fun having all of Nathan's sisters and their husbands and kids, and Nathans brother Steven. Since we were all together we were able to take a big family picture.
We had a ton of fun all weekend eating tons and tons of food, playing ping pong, tennis, volleyball, and of course some surfing for Nathan. It was a great sunny thanks giving, and now we are geting ready to have CHRISTMAS in freezing cold Utah here in a couple of weeks!

Kaycee's Blessing Day

All the Casey girls except for Katie (RJ's wife) they couldn't make it to the Blessing
We just love her and all of her little smiles that she gives us all day long!

On November 1, Nathan had the chance to bless Kaycee. She was sooo good, and Nathan gave her such a beautiful blessing. He said he was really nervous, but he did great! We finally got to take some family pictures that one of my best friends Kristin took, and they all turned out soooo good. Kaycee looked so beautiful in her blessing dress and we are so happy to have her as a part of our family. I can't believe that she is already 7 1/2 weeks old. She is such a blessing, and we are so glad that she is here.

All Smiles

This morning Nathan got some cute pictures of Kaycee smiling and laughing.. Soooo cute!!

A Day At The Beach

We went to the beach on Monday with Nathan's family. Kaycee loves the beach. This was her third time. She got to watch mommy and daddy play beach volleyball for a couple of hours. This was my first time since I have had Kaycee that i have gotten to do any real physical activity and it felt so good! She was such a good girl and she could just lay there for hours watching us play. I cant wait til she is old enough to play at the beach herself.

Recent pics of our little Kaycee Bug

We wanted to take her to the Bahamas with us, but we couldn't :(

Happy Birthday Nathan/Kaycee's 1st trip to Disneyland

Yesterday was Nathan's 27th birthday, and we took Kaycee and daddy to Disneyland. Nathan and his brother in law Joel and our nephew Jackson were part of the washboard band and everyone around sang Happy Birthday to Nathan :) We were hoping to get a picture with one of the characters for Kaycee's first trip, but we didn't see one, so we weren't able to. :( But we did have a lot of fun :) Happy Birthday Nathan!! I LOVE YOU!!
Than this morning we went to the beach so that Nathan could do some surfing, (because that is really what he wanted to do for his birthday) so today was Kaycee's first trip to the beach too. This is just a week of firsts for our baby girl :)

I love being a Mom!

I don't even know what to say, I just love love love being a mom! Kaycee is just so precious and i just love every little thing about her. Even though she put me through a lot and still trying to recover from the C section, she is worth every minute of pain and all those sleepless nights. She is just so beautiful to me and Nathan!
She only wakes up once or twice a night and usually the second time we have to wake her up because i am afraid she isn't getting enough to eat if i don't wake her up. She is such the snuggle bug. She love love loves be snuggled up with people. She just wants to be cuddled all the time and i just love cuddling with her. I think i am a little bit of a baby hog :)
And i also just want to say that Nathan is the best Daddy and husband that me and Kaycee could even ask for! He has changed almost every single one of Kaycee's diapers and has done all the laundry and cleaning and has made most of our breakfasts lunches and dinners. It has been so hard for me to do much of anything since the surgery and Nathan has been there for me.. He had to even help me take showers at first and is so gentle and loving. I couldn't ask for a better husband than him. He is the best! I LOVE YOU NATHAN!
Here of are some pictures that one of my best friends Kristin took of Kaycee. I just love them!

Saturday morning on our way to the hospital to meet our beautiful baby girl Kaycee

Friday is the Day!

So it looks like we will be having Kaycee this Friday. She is still breech and still a big girl. The doctor is cutting me open on Friday and we will finally be able to meet our precious baby girl! I am so excited, but at the same time i am soooo nervous. I have never had an operation before so it is kind of scary.. I am so relieved that i know when she will be here, and so relieved that i won't have to be pregnant anymore!! : ) So just 5 days to go!!

37 week Ultrasound

We went to the doctor on Friday an got an ultrasound done because the doctor thought that Kaycee was huge. (Which she is) They measured her at 8 pounds 1 ounce, and we still have 2 weeks to go! She is also breech, which isn't looking too good for me, so hopefully she can turn around somehow even with how huge she is, and hopefully she doesn't come too much later because i'm not sure i really want her to get any bigger.
We kind of figured she would be a big girl because Nathan was born 8 pounds 9 ounces and i was born 9 pounds 3 ounces and i was the smallest of 6 kids. So this was kind of expected.. What was not expected was how stinkin painful it is to walk and get out of bed in the middle of the night. Her butt and her back are sitting right on my right hip, so that doesn't really help me too much.

Baby Shower

Right before i got back home 2 weeks ago, my sisters threw me a baby shower in Utah whith allof my close friends and family. It was super fun and Kaycee got so many cute outfits! My most favorite dress that she got was her blessing dress. It is so beautiful and i cant wait to put it on her! :) It was so good to see friends that i haven't been able to see in a long time, and I always love hanging out with my aunts and cousins and mom and sisters! There were a bunch more pictures, but i am not good at taking pictures these days... I look soooo awful! So here are a few..

7 1/2 weeks to go!

Im 32 1/2 weeks now, but this picture was taken at 31 weeks. Just when you think that you really can't get any bigger, you wake up in the morning, and you get bigger, and bigger and bigger. I have 7 1/2 weeks left and i couldn't be more excited! It seems like it is so far away, yet it is soooo close.. She is quite the acrobat in my belly. She is constantly moving around and sometimes I think she is doing flips in there, i'm sure of it! I love it, but I really hate it at night when i'm trying to sleep. Nathan can't figure out why I sleep in so late, but i'll tell you, it's because she is practicing her gymnastics during bed time :)
We don't even have anything for Kaycee yet. My mom has bought her a few outfits but that's it. My sisters are throwing me a baby shower in Utah on the 19th so we will see what we get there, but i know that Nathan and I have a lot of shopping to do when we get back home to California. :) I'm so excited for it, but Nathan isn't so much.. He is not much of a shopper.
