7 Months

This last month has been so busy it seems like it zoomed by!  From 6 month pictures, St. Patrick's Day, season of Lent, and various and sundry events I don't feel like we have had a moment to breathe.  From the looks of it, this next month will be the same!  Elliott is growing and changing so quickly and she is developing such a neat personality.  She is trying to figure out her boundaries and trying to figure out just how much power she has...lol.  When I leave the room it is a total meltdown....she even fusses if Matt is still with her.  It is both sweet and obnoxious.  lol. 

Things Elliott can do:
*sit up on her own
*shimmy on the floor  - by shimmy I mean wiggle until she travels somewhere, whether or not it is the direction she really wants to go
*hold the bottle when she wants to
*laugh when she toots or burps (hysterical!)
*make the "d", "b", "g" and "k" sounds
*quack during "Six little ducks"
*shake and hit things to see what kind of sound they make
*she has two teeth!
*She is finally getting enough hair to brush!


Things Elliott Loves:
*the remote control
*Samson
*Apples
*Pears
*Oatmeal with Apples or pears
*Peas
*Sweet potatoes
*Squash
*Animal sounds
*Her toes
*People
*Tags/ribbon
*"Six little ducks",  "I'm a little teapot",  "The Grand old duke of York" 
*Clapping (she doesn't do it independently yet)

Things Elliott doesn't like:
*Carrots
*Green beans (although she tolerates them...)
*Loud noises
*anything when she is sleepy.  lol


This next month will include Easter, Elliott's baptism and traveling to Florida for a conference.  So many exciting things happening!

The part you love! (If you haven't seen Elliott's official 6 month pics, check out my FB.  You won't be disappointed...they are super cute!)

Holy Week

This week is Holy Week in the life of the church.  I love Holy Week and the somber reflection that comes with this week. Baby Kimmons has had an interesting week with all of the church services. I had the privilege of rehearsing and playing with the Baptist church for Good Friday, to which the baby was highly responsive. I hope that it is a musical child. It seemed to like the music and was dancing or something in there! We also had a Maundy Thursday service to which Baby K seemed to love all the singing as well.      Obviously, this has been a very busy week and I am exhausted.  The tired feeling has definitely not gone away, in fact, it may be even more intense.  I have been super achy this week as things seem to be growing and shifting even more. We had a bit of a scare yesterday, but after being all checked out, everything seems to be fine. Thank goodness!  ( Sorry for any of you that I scared while at work!)     I am having a few cravings this week, but unfortunately, I am cravi

Trying times...

  Yes, today is 14 weeks and yes a picture is coming I promise, but hubby isn't home yet.  :(  But I need to vent.  Today has been a very emotionally trying day.  Life seems to be overwhelming me (probably along with a few hormones too!) and I am really struggling today.  Between work, grad school, and other aspects of life, I am left worn out and stressed out.  I am well aware that I am very blessed.  I have been blessed with some amazing opportunities in life and even now with this baby on the way I realize how great I have things.  However, maybe this baby is helping me to put things into perspective.  Some of the things that I once found so important don't seem to matter as much.  Deadlines have been mere suggestions lately.  Most of all, I feel like I am struggling to find my voice in the sea of those who want to tell me what to do, how to do it, or how I should be feeling right now.  I can't decide if I want to cry or sleep.  I know that many of you are going throu

Whadda ya think?

So, now that we have shared our big news, everyone's next question is..."well, are you going to find out the gender?"  My response is "ABSOLUTELY!" Ha!  My Type A- OCD personality has to find out.  Many people love the element of surprise that comes with not finding out, but I think the surprise of just meeting our beautiful baby will be enough, the rest must be planned.  :)  As far as preference, we don't really have one.  I would love to have a little girl to put big bow and flowers on their head and to cover in ruffles and frills, but a little boy would be tons of fun.  As long as the baby is happy and healthy, we are thrilled either way.  I have had several people make their suggestions as to gender based on my appearance.  One family member says it's a boy cause I am carrying all in front, a friend says it's a girl cause I am carrying down low.  My friends think it's a boy cause I haven't been puking like they were and they both had girl
