I finished it!!!

I'm so excited!! I finished Kirra's baby blanket today!!! I had to start over a few times because I couldn't get my edges straight, but I finally figured it out and now its done!! So happy! :) 

Here is the finished product!

I wasn't sure about the green and pink border at first, but once I finished it I ended up really liking it. Wasn't sure if it was really going to go with the purple and pink. The blanket itself was pretty quick and easy once I got it down....if you want to learn how to do it go here.

Then the border I was just going to do something really simple, but the lady that makes the youtube videos explains it so well and makes it pretty easy! Go here if you want to learn how to do the border. That is the first of 4 videos. I also didn't do the ribbon part which is really pretty but you have to sew it down and I don't like to sew much....lol. But she has a lot of different videos for different things.

I'm going to start making other things now because I really enjoy crocheting. Plus I am now going to make it tradition and make a baby blanket for all of my future babies. After they get here of course. :)  

Randomness

I took these pictures last year wanting to blog about this.....so here I go....lol.

My hometown where I grew up got their FIRST AND ONLY stop light! lol I couldn't believe it when we were driving into town to go see family. Complete craziness!!! My little hometown is growing....awww.

This happened literally last November....I know...I'm a little behind. lol.

So excited!

I started crocheting a baby blanket for Kirra. I've only made like 1 or 2 blankets in my life that was like 10 years ago or more....so I'm very much a beginner. BUT! I'm so excited.....I think its going to turn out way cute!!!

Lake Powell Fun Time

Last weekend we decided to go to Lake Powell. It was a good way to end our summer I suppose...and its a good thing we went when we did....cuz now it is cold.... :( and last weekend was perfect....all except for a little storm.

Braulio and my dad went to go find a place to camp on the jet skis then came back to get me and Kirra. Braulio, Kirra, and I road on one jet ski while my dad drove the house boat to the spot they found. I was scared to death to take Kirra on the jet ski, I held onto her with my life. The life jacket consumed her....I think she could barely move...lol. But she didn't really try....she was so tired she the poor little thing fell asleep on the way there.  I really don't know how she could have fallen asleep with that thing on though...she looked so uncomfortable!

The life jacket consuming my child.

Here are Kirra's first moments experiencing sand...

She was so cute playing in the sand for her first time....she didn't dare crawl in it, and of course she kept trying to eat it....so we let her eat just a little bit and of course was disgusted by it so she quit trying....lol

Cute pictures with Gramps

The water was so cold she didn't really like it. She would start crying every time I dangled her feet. So I sat with her on the sand and eventually put her in her floaty and she gradually got used to it...and started splashing and playing with her little water toys.

We had a lot of fun...I love Lake Powell....when I was a kid we would go every summer. There almost always is a random storm though.  They are so sudden! Its so beautiful and sunny and then out of nowhere a black cloud comes out of the sky and it gets super windy. I think I have become excessively worried all the time because of my cute little dad who is so care free. Almost every time something crazy happens to us at Lake Powell. 

When the storm hit luckily my dad had tied the jet skis to the house boat....and we were anchored, but not tightly cuz the house boat turned sideways and we were rocking a lot...lol. We had all our bedding up top I had to go up there and lay on everything and hold it so it wouldn't blow away, then we brougt it all down. I seriously hate the wind though....and I get so nervous being on the water during a storm. The weather said it was only supposed to last a couple hours but the wind kept coming and going....we didn't get much sleep anyway because Kirra wasn't sleeping good. Other than that we had a good time! :)

Here is a random picture of my dad....his shirt blue off the boat in the storm, he found it the next morning on the bottom of the lake...lol

I wish I would have taken some pictures but on saturday when we were getting ready to leave a HUGE  houseboat parked by us. I don't think I've seen a bigger houseboat! It had 3 decks....the guy gave us a tour and told us it cost around a million!!! Can you believe that?! That is craziness! They had it custom built. I can't imagine how his real house looks like or how much that cost! Very much craziness!

Stay A Little Longer Summer!

So the other day we bought Kirra this little inflatable pool that was on sale at target since summer is coming to an end. :( Boo for upcoming cold season! So I put it together today and took Kirra swimming in our little back yard. 

Its so cute! I love it! Unfortunately we don't have a faucet outside because you can hook up a hose to that little orange thing under her hand and it will spray water into the little hippo pool. So fun!

She had fun though, she was crawling around, playing with her toys, and splashing the water. So cute! :)

Here is a cute picture of Kirra and daddy watching tv together.

Smile for the camera!

Couple more super cute pictures...

...and then we have Kirra's first attempt to bite me...

Don't mind that I look hideous in this movie....obviously was having a lazy day....oh wait...I have quite a few of those....anyway she was very hungry and was very tired....and very sick of waiting for me to go feed her her bananas! 

I didn't understand what she was doing at first....because I would kiss her then she would go at me open mouthed like she was trying to kiss me back....but she was screaming. She hasn't quite learned how to bite yet....she just kept going at my face open mouthed and screaming. lol. I felt her teeth on my cheek a little bit once and thats when I think I realized she really was trying to bite me. I thought how could my sweet little 7 month old be throwing a tantrum and trying to bite me already! 

She is still super cute and luckily she is still a mommas girl...even though I make her mad sometimes. I'm so not excited for when she is 2 and starts the real tantrums! :)

A Little Squid Please...

Apparently Kirra is afraid of squid.....

Many Moons

So it has been many moons.....many long moons since I have written, so here I shall attempt to cover the last year minus 1 month. :)
So it pretty much will be all be about our beautiful little girl 

Kirra Skye Argueta

February 12th, 2011

7 months ago today our precious baby girl came into this world!

Proud Daddy!

Sticking her tongue out since day one! lol

She weighed 7 lbs 9 oz, and was 19 1/2 inches long.

Coming home from the hospital

Can't believe how tiny she used to be!!!

Started smiling at 2 weeks....

and it was not just a one time kind of thing!! :)

Our cutie pie at 1 month

2 months

3 months

We drove to Texas and back....she used to like the car....she really hates it now....lol
4 months

She is a very fast learner and very determined, she accidentally rolled over from belly to back on June 19th, then from back to belly on June 29th

She scooted her first time on June 28th....only 4 1/2 months old...and a few days after this video she was already going across the room 5 or 6 feet!

She likes her taggy blanket....or rather "licks" it a lot. :)

5 months old....family pics. :)

If you look really really close on the picture above you can see her first tooth! First came in on July 25th

6 months old

On Aug 14 she sat up from laying down all by herself, and then on Aug 19 she started to climb things....Aug 26th she climbed things like....stairs. On Aug 30th you could see her 2nd tooth starting to come in.

She loves bath time....she really does....but HATES the part where I put the towel hoodie on her head...lol. She was very angry in this picture. She bites her own fingers when she is mad.

Our beautiful Kirra Mamas today.....eating her peas.....like a good girl. :) Hated green beans, but on the 2nd and 3rd day I think she grew to tolerate them.

So there you have it....Kirra's life in 7 months....all in one post. She is growing so fast its craziness. I really wish I could stop time or slow it down sometimes. It goes by way too fast! Everybody that see's her....strangers and all....and I mean EVERYBODY is always saying how beautiful she is. She IS very beautiful and we are so blessed to have her as our daughter.

I was scared to death to become a mother, but it is completely different than what I expected. I love her SO much and love watching her learn and do new things everyday. She brings 100% joy into my life. Okay I'm stopping now because I'm a cry baby and tears are rolling down my cheek....lol

I really plan to write more often so this doesn't happen again.....a post that consists of 7 months that is. :)
Stay tuned!
