Sorry it has been sooo long since I have posted, I have been really busy. I started doing for design for a company out of Salt Lake, it has been great, they send me so much work!
I have a bunch of videos that I have been meaning to post for a long time, this first one is of Kaiya dancing, it is hilarious! Every time I turn on the radio she jams out, she loves music so much!

Funny Sleeper!
For the 2-3 months, Kaiya's bedtime routine had been getting worse and worse. She used to be so easy to put to sleep, it seems that now that she has become more aware of her ability to control us, she was really picky about how we put her to sleep. She would not go to bed unless I or Matt would rock her to sleep, with her binki and if she were wake up as we put her down, the process would start over. Anyway, I was determined to not let her do this to me anymore, so we began consitantly putting her in her crib and letting her cry (even though I felt so bad hearing her scream), we did that every night, and at nap times, but after about a week or two she has been doing so well, she usually just goes right to sleep now. She even seems to sleep longer, I don't know if it is because she is okay with putting herself back to sleep now if she wakes up, but she sleeps anywhere between 9-13 hours now! I love it! Persistance payed off.
This is how she puts her self to sleep, and even if we turn her over while she is asleep, she tends to be this way in the morning.

A Hairdo!
This is our first attempt to give Kaiya a hairdo! She is finally getting a little hair! We did this a week or two ago, but I just downloaded a bunch of pictures and thought that I would share.

A Tooth!
Kaiya finally got her first tooth today, well I guess yesterday (I am at my Grave job, so my days get a little off). I thought she would never get one, but she got a lower front tooth.
It has been a really long time since I have posted, so I guess I will just recap what we have been up to. We had a really long holiday, which was so so nice. We went to Cedar from Christmas Eve all the way until Jan 4th. It was such a nice break, we really needed it. Matt really needed too, because he had just been working so hard before Christmas, he had nearly 20 hours of overtime in only the week before Christmas. After our big long break it was back to job hunting. I found a job, the one that I am at now. I work Graves on the weekend at a Residential Treatment Center for teen boys. It is a really nice place and great environment (and I can still be home with Kaiya all week), but let me tell you it is 6:45 in the morning right now and I still have 2 hours and 15 minutes to go and I am doing anything I can to stay awake, haha. The shift starts at 9:45pm and goes till 9am, which is nice, because I get full time work only working 3 days a week, but staying awake is a little bit harder than I anticipated. Other than staying awake it is the easiest job I have ever had, just check on the boys every 30 mins and watch movies, surf the internet, or do whatever the rest of the time. Anyway, so that is pretty much all I have been up to lately.
Kaiya is just growing up too fast still, she is starting to stand and let go of what she is holding on to and balancing herself. It makes me nervous that she will be walking soon and I am not ready for that. I just got used to her crawling around.
Matt's just still working hard at his job... he has been such a good help with me going back to work.

New Site!!
I am really working to get more clients, so if anyone knows anyone looking for graphic design work. I would appreciate you passing on my site.www.dforte.com
Also if you know anyone that is a photographer, I still do invitations, but I have created a site that is for photographers and allows them to sell my invitations and make a profit for themselves. This is a link to an explanation of how photographers can profit from my invitations:http://www.invitationscardsandannouncements.com/Invitations,_Cards_%26_Announcements/Photographers.html
And this is just the link to the site:

Sorry, haven't posted in a while....
I have had a crazy couple of weeks, so I have neglected my blog....
Kaiya is crawling, she has been crawling for about 2 weeks now. (she started the day before she turned 7 months) I admit, I was not ready for it, she is into everything. She also pulls her self up to standing on things, that is probably the hardest, because she isn't afraid to let go of whatever she is holding on to and she falls hard, and a lot. She just doesn't get that she will fall.
This is the cute winter suit that Mom Reynolds got Kaiya, it is so cute she looks like a little eskimo.
We decided that we need family pictures, cause we haven't done that.... and this is our creative way of doing them. I don't know if we can bring ourselves to pay for a photographer. Besides Matt and I just aren't that fond of traditional family pictures (posing) anyway. We took these out by Utah lake, we didn't realize how pretty it is there until recently. It is so peaceful too, cause you don't run into a lot of people out there.
(She is not as high as she looks.... haha)
