Exciting things for Kinsey/Valentine's Day 2011

Well Miss Kinsey has reached a few major milestones in the past few weeks and mommy was very surprised on Valentine's Day, read more to find out:

We're all in trouble now:
On February 8th, 2011 I got a call from my sitter at about 7:45am, she was calling to let me know that Kinsey did something remarkable; Miss Laverne had just put her on the floor to play after changing her diaper, she turned around to throw the diaper away and turned back around and Kinsey had CRAWLED from the pallet in the floor over to the tv, which is about oh I would say 5 or 6 steps! MY BABY CRAWLED! And I was so upset because I missed it! But I have gotten my chance to see her in action and boy can she move! I firmly believe she will be walking by July! We now have a total of 2 1/2 teeth, I say 2 1/2 because she has two on the bottom and one coming through on top and another one on top that hasn't broke through yet; so you can actually say 4 give or take a tooth :) Also Kinsey is eating baby food quite well, she loves it! It won't be long and we can say bye bye formula, THANK GOD! She has a new favorite food that we can add to the list; green beans, I am glad because I was afraid she wouldn't like anything green since she doesn't like peas.  She now likes to be on the floor playing, which is not so good for me, because I can't turn my back for a second, she comes crawling off her little pallet and then I have to confine her to the Exersaucer or the playpen which she HATES with a passion! All the times I was like "I can't wait till she's crawling and sitting up", well that day has come and now I am like "I wish she was tiny again where all she did was just lay there", because I don't get much done around the house these days. She has realized if she drops a toy on the floor and cries SOMEONE will get it, just so she can do it all over again; again and again, lord! So the biggest thing is she's mobile, and we're all in trouble now!

Valentine's Day 2011:
Usually on Valentine's Day I get flowers or chocolate from the hubster, but this year I really wasn't expecting anything, with us living with my folks and everything in such a mess I would have been happy with getting Kinsey to bed early and going to bed before 11:00pm.  I had originally planned to get Tom a CD and a DVD he had been wanting, well I couldn't find the CD anywhere and then when I went to go pick up the DVD I couldn't find it either! So with that plan ruined I didn't know what to do, but when one door closes a window opens, right? I had racked and racked my brain on what I was going to get him for V-Day, finally it came to me. He has been bugging me to get him a picture of Kinsey for his desk at work, so I went to Wal-Mart on Friday, bought a nice frame and card and planned to go to Walgreen's (since they have cheaper rates on digital prints than Wal-Mart) on Saturday, print the picture out, put it in the frame and have it waiting for him on Monday morning when he got up, yea didn't happen. Kinsey is cutting teeth, again, so this weekend was needless to say not fun, I didn't have a chance to get to Walgreens to print the picture out, which means on Valentine's Day I had a empty picture frame and a card, I was so upset, but Tom didn't seem to mind but I was really kicking myself. I didn't even know if he had gotten me anything or not and I was hoping he hadn't at this point. After work on Monday, I called Tom to let him know I was off and I was on my way to get Kinsey and I was coming home to change and go to the gym, (he had promised me on Sunday he would watch her on Monday night so I could go work out) he told me he had an errand to run and then he would be home, made no difference to me I was just ready to be home!  I got home and low and behold he had bought me a present, I was so upset I could have cried! He bought me the most beautiful heart shaped pendant necklace, I was shocked! He still refuses to tell me where he got it or how much he paid for it! (but I have an idea ) So, after he reassured me he was totally fine with me not having his gift ready, I went to the gym, I worked out for 20 minutes and then weighed only to find out I had gained my 3 pounds back plus two more, I was bummed once again! But my husband came through again! He went to get dinner, I told him where ever he went to just get me something, I didn't care.  When he came home he had got me Chinese (not the healthiest thing to eat considering I had gained 5 pounds, but it made me feel better)! He said he knew I was bummed about his present and about gaining some weight back, he told me to just let it go and tomorrow was a new day, we dined in on V-Day with our little rugrat and she cooperated and went to bed at 9:00pm which means I got to go to bed early, and Tom even humored me and instead of staying up for awhile like he usually does, he came to bed when I did and we both fell right to sleep! So even though my Valentine's wasn't all glitter and glamour and we didn't dine out at the finest restuarant it's still one for the books!
