Cousins

Elizabeth saw her cousin Aubrey this weekend and the two girls had so much fun. Aubrey will be 1 year old tomorrow May 30th and we had a little party for her in Michigan. They played very good together, talked to eachother and gave eachother lots of kisses. They did fight some over toys but it was not to bad. Aubrey would take toys away from Elizabeth and then Elizabeth would just take them right back, she didn't care. I am so glad Elizabeth has a cousin so close in age and they can play together so nicely.

Peas and Carrots

Elizabeth is just loving her solid foods, right now she prefers them to a bottle of breast milk. She still loves her bottles but she is loving her new foods. Carrots and peas are her favorite as well as corn, sweet potatoes and squash as far as veggies go. Her favorite fruits are peaches, bananas, applesauce, berries, and mango. She also can not get enough yogurt. This child love yogurt and if you do not get it into her mouth fast enough then she yells at you...like "hurry up mom, what are you thinking"!

My Princess

My precious little princess, Elizabeth Ashley was born on 9.25.07, and I can still remember the day like it was yesterday. I arrived at the hospital at 2 a.m. not thinking I was really in labor. I was to be induced that morning at 7 a.m., I had been having contractions for days without any progress. When I got there at 2 I was 4 cm dialated about 2 hours later I was 7 almost 8 cm dialated and my waterbag was about to break so I went ahead and got my epidural and it was like being in heaven!! Since it was 4 in the morning and I had been up all night I tried to get some sleep but I was way to excited. My doctor came in at 6 just as my water finally broke I was still almost 8 cm so I had to have some medicine to help things along. By 9:30 a.m. I was 10 cm dialted and ready to push. I was so excited and ready to meet my little girl. I pushed for about 30 minutes and then there she was. This beautiful little girl, was finally here after waiting 9 long months! She was 7 lbs. 3.2 oz and 19 3/4 inches long.

My precious little girl is now almost 8 months old. She has changed so much doing new things all the time. She is now crawling and pulling up on things, eating solid foods, saying "mama", "baba" and "baby". She is just the most amazing little girl ever!!

The love of my life

My husband John and I meet 6 years ago. We will be married for two years in just a few days. He is a wonerful husband and a great father to Elizabeth!
We meet in college when I was a sophmore at Drury University. We ended up both transfering in and having all of the same classes because we were both going for the same major. I did not realize that we had all of the same classes utill he broke it foot. :) We starte talking more and studying together and then one night he walked me back to my dorm and after he left a girl I had never meet before said "he must really love you since he walke you home on crutches" from that moment on I knew I loed him and wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, and here we are 6 years later married with a 7 1/2 month baby! He is truly the love of my life :)

About Me

My name is Kari, I am 25 years old. I am a wife to a wonderful husband John and I have the most beautiful daughter named Elizabeth. I work at a local hospital as an Exercise Physiologist in Cardiac and Pulmonary rehab and I love it, besides the fact that I have to send my preciuos girl to daycare but that is another story! I feel that I am an easy person to get along with and have many friends who I love to be around. I like traveling and being out doors, running is my favorite activity to do when I am stressed or to just stay in shape. I love to scrapbook but for some reason I have not been able to find much time in the past 7 1/2 months! :)
