It is in West Columbia. It is huge. It is wall to wall crafts. Hobby Lobby. It took a few hours of my life away today. I looked at holiday stuff. I looked at painting stuff. I looked at ribbons. I looked at fabric. I looked at scrap booking stuff. I looked at wall lettering. I looked at picture frames. I looked at everything. Over 2 hours and all I spent was $11.00! I was so proud of my self control! I ended up finding the perfect color pink to paint Kennedy’s hat (we are calling it a hat NOT a helmet!) The color is called Princess Pink. I looked into a variety of ways to decorate it from a professional helmet painter to a stickers. I decided I am crafty enough to make it look just the way I want it to look. I have been working on a design. I am thinking this hat will just be another way to show how beautiful Kennedy is. Her DOC band will be just as beautiful as her and she will be the next calendar girl in the 2011 DOC band calendar.
Jay bought me an awesome baby cookbook for Christmas. Jay refers to me as a “tree hugger” when it comes to Kennedy’s food. So far the only thing I will feed her out of a jar is prunes. I have no clue how to cook those and she likes the first foods earth best version. Tonight we spent a lot of money at Publix to make her weeks worth of food so I won’t have to cook when I go back to school. My goal is to get her eating three meals a day in the next few weeks. Tonight we bought her apple sauce (she loved it), apple juice to cook with, vegetables for a veggie medley, creamed veggie medley, chicken and veggies, lima beans, calliflower, vereal, oatmeal, and brocolli. I think we bought her a few other things as well.
Jay also is buying me a new sewing machine for Christmas. Well actually it is being bought with Christmas money I have been squirling away for years as well as some Jay is giving me. I can’t wait to tell you all about it once it gets here!
I am a little worried about when we get the DOC band and how to do Kennedy’s hygene. I already have a few questions about things I do with her. Currently I only bathe her every few days because her skin is so dry. With the DOC band I am going to have to wash her hair every day. I really don’t want to dry her skin out so I was wondering if any mommies reading this knows a good wash that won’t dry her skin out so bad. Another question I have is about brushing her teeth. She currently has two really big teeth on the bottom. I brush them everyday, but currently she still nurses herself to bed everynight. Is she going to get bottle rot on her bottom teeth from nursing herself to sleep?
