It's love.

The first moment I saw Oakley I fell so in love with her! I can't imagine life without this precious little girl. These past few nights she hasn't been going to bed while eating, I've had to rock her. She will talk and sound so tired. She won't cry just make little noises. I love watching her fall asleep. I am so in love with this girl and I love being her mom.

She's a ROLLER!

This girl is ALWAYS on her tummy now. Every time she is put on her back she gets to her back before you know it. She ends up getting mad cause she can't roll back to her back. She's done it before, I guess she for got. When she's mad and you roll her back to her back, she rolls right back to her tummy. Silly girl.

4 Month Stats

Oakley had her 4 month doctors appointment today. She was so so happy all morning and it continued on throughout her appointment. She was screaming (happily) and grunting (happily). She is just so adorable:) She was super happy until she got her shots:( She cried for a couple minutes and then acted like nothing happened. She was a happy girl the rest of the day!

* She is 12 pounds and in the 25% for weight.

* Her head is 16 inches in the 50% for head.

* She is 24.5 inches tall about the 50% for height.

Holidays 2010!

This year for Thanksgiving, we went to Rigby to my Grandma Stowell's. It was a lot of fun. It is always good to be with family and eat lots of food!

If you look closely Ava is sitting at the end of the huge table, haha.

Christmas is my favorite holiday! I love everything about it! The music, the family, the snow, presents, and just a break from everything!

We went to Idaho for Christmas, of course. We woke up Christmas morning and opened presents at my parents. We got a sweet keyboard piano! Oakley got clothes and a BUMBO from us! She looks so cute in it. Then we went to Jon's parents and ate brunch and opened MORE presents! Then we went to an indoor soccer game that Jon was playing in.

That night we had dinner at my parents for my little sister's birthday dinner. Christmas is in the day then it is strictly Bri's birthday.

Looking so cute in her new BUMBO

She'd rather eat her presents than open them.

Our first Christmas as a family of THREE! (I found out last Christmas time that we were going to have a baby! Christmas time will always be that much more special:))

The day after Christmas we went snowboarding. Oakley hung out in the lodge with my parents while we hit the slopes. Oh boy. I just have to say that I have a hard time snowboarding. I am too big of a scardy cat. Last year I fell really hard on my head and my goggles hat and gloves just flew off of me. Ever since then, I've just been way too scared of falling.

Here's a good story, probably not that great but it was kind of funny:

Bri was ahead of us on the lift and she decided to get off at the halfway spot. Me and Jon were not planning on doing this so we weren't paying attention. Well, I was telling Jon what I thought would be funny if you forgot to lift your board up at the half way and it dug into the snow and dragged you off the lift and made you faceplant (the things I think sometimes, jeeze). Well while I was saying this Bri yelled "I GOT OFF!!!" So I freaked, I don't know what I was thinking, but I practically jumped off the lift...OUCH! At least I didn't have to freak myself out about getting off the lift! I fell pretty hard, no fun! Well at least Jon and Brianna had fun, haha.

The 28th was my mom's birthday so we went to lunch and then later we went up to Heise and met Brianna, Maija-Liisa and Jared (who went snowboarding that day) and we had pizza for my mom's birthday dinner. After dinner we went to the hot springs and went swimming. Oakley LOVED the hot tub. She was so chill the whole time:)

We came back to Utah on New Year's Eve. We met Maija-Liisa, Jared and Ava at Sugarhouse parker to go sledding. Oakley looked so cute in the snow outfit she was wearing. We went down the hill once with Oakley and I think she was cold, cause she wasn't having it. We went home and played some Wii, made spaghetti for dinner, and played more Wii. After my sister left we just hung around the house hoping Oakley would go to sleep, but she wanted to stay up to bring in the new year. She barely didn't make it and fell asleep around 11:30. If she went to bed earlier, I wanted to head straight to bed. But since there was only 30 minutes left we stayed up to watch the ball drop and drink some Martinelli's. We went to bed right after! It was a very fun new year's eve:)

This year has been awesome and I am hoping to have an even better year 2011! I can't wait to see what brings out little family. And I am so excited to watch Oakley grow!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

LOVE, KJIRSTIN, JON, & OAKLEY

Oakley is 4 months old!

It is so crazy how time flies! I can't believe Oakley is four months old already! We are so in love with this little girl. She is such a joy in our lives. She is growing up so fast and is doing new things every day!

At her two month appointment she was in the 25th percentile for height, weight, and head. Perfectly proportioned:) She weighed 12 pounds at an appointment we went to at the end of November for a cold she had. Her four month appointment is on Monday so new stats are to come in the near future.

Oakley is the happiest baby ever! She loves to smile. She is starting to laugh more and more at her ridiculous and weird mom. She will get so excited sometimes that she tenses up her whole body. It is so funny. Everything she does is "cute". That's what we say about everything! Well she is the cutest baby ever!

She loves high pitched singing, (one of the weird things her weird mom does). She loves to stand, her legs are so strong. She LOVES polka dots. The inside of her carseat cover is polka dots and she will just stare forever. Anything polka dot she will stare at.

She has rolled over a couple times. The first time she did it was the beginning of December. I didn't get to witness it though:( She rolled from her back to her stomach which is pretty impressive. And she rolled from her stomach to back a few weeks after that. She has kind of given up on the rolling over stuff for now.

Her hair is growing growing growing! And it is a very light blonde. Sometimes we can see a little bit of red. And she also has very pale skin, but it is so adorable!

We are so lucky to have such and amazing little girl in our lives! She makes us so happy and we wouldn't have our life going any other way!
