Kourtney's Favorites 12 Months

Kourtney's Favorites :)

Food: Fiber One Cereal & Chicken
Toys: Balls & Tupperware
Color: Red
Places to hide: Bathroom
Activity: Walking, Waving, & Peek-A-Boo

Sleep Pattern: 1Hour nap a day and sleeps from about 6:30-7ish.... :) Not much of a nap but I can't really complain with being able to sleep at night!

Walking: Up to about 10 steps but I think she still thinks it's faster to crawl.

Eating: She loves anything she can feed herself. We are going to try this week to get her off the bottle and on to sippy cups!

Books: Any touch and feel are her favorite :) Although, Kourtney really tolerates being read to well! :)

Teeth Brushing: We started brushing her teeth! I am also going to start looking for a pediatric dentist soon. I think we should take her in for her first check up!

Kourtney IS ONE! CRAZY!!!!!

WOW!!! MY BABY IS ONE!!!!! REALLY????

I am not really even sure I believe it myself. It's so hard to believe I have a little baby nevermind that she is one! What a year it has been. Lots of ups and downs learning all the ropes of being a parent. I love Kourtney so much. She has tought me all sorts of new things about myself this past year. I have learned a new level of paitients, laughter, and love. I have cryed a lot and laughed even more. I have been more tired then I have ever been in my life and more happy then I have ever been too. I have also had my fair share of sad and stressed times in the past year. I have had to learn to not listen to what other people think of how I paernt and how they parent. I have learned EVERYONE wants to share there story with you and not all those stories are true and or make me feel good to hear. Some stories make me feel good and some make me feel really bad. I have learned that when all else fails the gym is a good place for me to put my head back on my shoulders and feel good again. I have gotten back to my goal weight. Which I am super happy about! I worked hard on my fittness and it payed off! Love it when that happens. I am almost done nursing. Just down to am feedings :)

Kourtney is growing like a weed! We saw Dr. Doan today for her one year appointment. She is at 63% for weight, 88% for height, and 31% for head circmferance. happy & healthy. What more could we ask for. :) She also got 5 shots today! Whew!!!! She cried a little while daddy held her for the shots, got a bottle when she was done and is now taking a nap. How exhausting those shots are :(

Kourtney celebrated her real birthday at grandma and grandpa Clements house and had a taste of her first cake :) We are having her big 1st birthday party this Saturday! We can't wait to have our home filled with our closest family and friends while we celebrate this HUGE milestone!

My dad is coming out this week on Thursday to help Zach and I celebrate Kourtney's birthday and pick out a Christmas tree! I am sure we will have our fair share of cookie eating as well :)

The house is coming along and we are hoping to finish up this week and have a house warming get together sometime in January <3

Two weeks until Kourtney is ONE!

Well, actually less then two weeks until Kourtney is ONE! Crazy where has the year gone? Our little family has been so busy this last 6 weeks, I have barley had any time (or Internet) to keep you all updated. So let me try to catch everyone up, at least a little. :)

I made Kourtney's Birthday party invites. Our little sweetie ;) Lollipop invites!




Bishops Pumpkin Farm:

Two of my best friends, Nikki & Bekki joined Kourtney and I as we visited Bishops Pumpkin Farm in Wheatland this year. We had a great time strolling around, looking at pumpkins (some as large as Kourtney), eating sweet treats, watching the train, and feeding the animals at the petting zoo. Kourtney and her BFF Scarlett both got there faces painted with little pumpkins, and took turns crying in the car. One one the way up and one on the way back. Oh what fun it is :)


Thanks Bekki for some really cute pics!
















Halloween:

Zach and I love Halloween! We have a great time dressing up and celebrating with family and friends. This year we went to the Clements family Halloween party, like we do every year, and had a great time. We dressed up as The Flintstones. Zach and I went to a Halloween party in Sacramento on Saturday night and Kourtney got to spend the night with Uncle Jer & Auntie Kris :) She loves hanging out with Mitchie and Logan :) Monday night we all went trick-Or-Treating around in Byron's neighborhood. So fun to get together with all the cousins and walk around. We were a really cute group of Trick-Or-Treater's...that's for sure! Kourtney dressed up as Pebbles Flinstone and she was the cutest one in my opinion!



















New House:

Our new address is 508 Encinal Ave. Roseville, CA 95678 We plan to have a house warming gathering around Thanksgiving, so just a few for weeks for those of you who can't wait to see for your own eyes what we have been up to for the past 6 weeks!

Our new house is about 1.8 miles from the Fountains behind the Diamond Oaks neighborhood. The house was built in 1934! Really old cute little place with lots and lots of big trees! When we got it it had a living room, dining room, and tiny kitchen. Now it has a large great room and open floor plan.It had two bedrooms and one bathroom and now has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. We added a kitchen island and a fireplace. My favorite room although it's not finished yet is the laundry room. We got a smokin' deal on a new laundry machine and dryer over Labor day weekend! Silly that I'm so excited about them but oh well! :) I know you all are hoping for more pictures and details but we are waiting just a little bit longer for the big reveal! Hold on to your boot straps for just a few more weeks!!!!!

Well I hope I have got us caught up just a bit! More to come soon!
