Toes and Giggles.
So Baby K has been feeling quite under the weather for about the last two weeks...a combo of what was probably a touch of the RSV combined with a wicked ear infection meant that she wasn't the happiest camper. It also meant that poor Mark had to deal with some tough nights since I'm at work...
After two sets of antibiotics we think we have finally gotten it beat and she is feeling a bit better.
The following video is a bit of her giggling and please disregard my non-sensical rambling.
The truth is she is starting to babble so much and it is so fun to hear. Lots of blahs, bas, das, a few mas, and some gas. Lots of new sounds to practice. She is also become quite able to log-roll her way around. She is still trying for the crawling, but seems perfectly happy to roll around.
Anyways, here is the giggle monster herself....

What a life.
I stumbled across a blog a few months ago via an acquaintance on facebook and could not believe the story of this woman's life.
She is truly an example of grace and beauty despite the struggles that came her way.
If you have time, it is worth it to read the whole story and hear her thoughts.
Makes me what to be a better person.
The story for us is over, but for her, it is just beginning.

New Carpet! (and furnace...)
So when we first moved in, we discovered that those that sold us our house were known to be less than honest...it was basically par for the course that on our official move in walk through we suddenly realized the state of the carpeting demonstrated by three relatively large holes in the upstairs and the downstairs. NOW Mark and I are relatively aware people and typically notice these things, however! we were thwarted in our efforts as the aforementioned holes had been hidden. Under plants.
Yup. Plants.
For future house-shopping, we will be lifting all floor plants, so beware.
Anyways, we knew we needed new carpeting. Like before we moved in. But the costs of home ownership are hefty and we weren't quite ready for that commitment.
Fast forward two years and add a small child whose head basically lives in the floor. Now the knowledge that our carpet was old turned in to we NEED new carpet. Or K will be forever inhaling the dust spores of the generations that came before us.
My parents graciously offered to help us on our expenditure and I set off on the task of finding the perfect new carpeting.
During my hunt, I came to a profound realization as to what exactly I was looking for in carpeting.
I wanted carpeting that looked like dirt.
Not REAL dirt. But dirt nonetheless. Because it will get dirty and I don't want it to show up.
SO I want carpeting that is actually clean (for now) but will still look the SAME (even if dirty).
Seeing as we have regular "Phoenix has barfed the fertilizer she ate up in the corner of the closet" moments, this is very important to me.
I made the rounds to a carpet store and Home Depot, met a lovely lady named Kim at Carpet One who sold me some nice (clean) but dirty carpet and thus began our journey.
Now, don't forget, we live in our house currently. with lots and lots of stuff. And unfortunately for us, the carpet is UNDER all that stuff (who knew?)
To get the NEW carpet UNDER our old stuff we had to move it ALL elsewhere. In the house. This made for a few interesting days.
The upstairs was done first and was slightly less painful.
Then the first floor came up to bat and it was yeah. Kind of awful. Never want to do it again.
This is what our house looked like this morning:
Can you see the kitchen?
And this:
Now here comes the fun part...
We were actually gone this past weekend on a fun trip to my parents (post to come) and on our return noted that our house was very cool. I mean, very cool. We(and I mean Mark) went down to check out the furnace at approx. 10pm on Monday night. The furnace it seemed, had entered retirement without letting us know. So we had someone come out to check it out and they thought they fixed it. But long story short, it was really really done.
SO we got a new furnace.
Anyways, that was just a short and very expensive tangent.
Back to the carpet.
About halfway through I began to wonder if it was truly worth all this work.
Then the carpet guys left, phoenix entered the room, sniffed around and promptly sprawled out.
Then Kyla crawled around rubbed her face in the new carpet and barfed.
Yup. It was a beautiful decision.

Comings and Goings...
It has been a busy few months!!! And this post is really just me procrastinating on studying for a big exam tomorrow and/or going to bed...but it has been too long!
Much has happened...
1. My big bro got married!!! And they are having a baby!!! And the secret is out that the had a small wedding a few months ago and that's when they actually got pregnant!! And they are having a GIRL!!!!
Yeah. I'm excited about all of it. They have a pretty cool story and I'm going to be a blabbermouth and share it because I think it is a neat story...
So...Judd meets Jana. They totally like each other. I mean really really like each other. And realize pretty soon that this is the kind of like that sticks around...so they talk about marriage. And some stuff comes up with Jana's health, and me, being the nosy OB/Gyn asks all sorts of prying questions. But the short answer is, they saw a doc, got some good advice that the time that Jana might be able to have kids could be shorter than most, and hence got hitched in a teeny little ceremony with just family and a few friends. BUT they still wanted to have the big, blow-out super fun (And fancy!) wedding that Jana (and Judd I know...) had hoped for.
In the mean time, they got pregnant. Like, right away! So fun...so we got to have a huge celebration for a wedding AND an upcoming baby!!
Needless to say, because my new sis-in-law is stunning and a fashion/style expert the wedding was beautiful. Everything about it just great. So many fun folks to come out and support Judd and Jana in the whole marriage AND upcoming parent thing....
Rehersal dinner with the gmas...
Gma and Drooley Baby K
The guys played Bball to get ready for wedding.
Baby K meets Baby T meets Baby R!!
The sisters dancing...
And the sad sad truth of this whole story is that somehow, I didn't get ANY good pics with the bride and groom.
Seriously. I have no idea how it happened and will probably regret it for the rest of my life.
BUT there are some awesome photos from the wedding if you go to this link:
and type the password Judd.
Their wedding was so cool that it was also featured on a blog called "Style me Pretty" which is apparently pretty awesome.
So her is a final shot of the gorgeous bride:
Don't be mad cause you know they are going to have the cutest little girl ever, I might even say she could be ALMOST as cute as Kyla. Almost.
Ok! Next post coming up tomorrow...Christmas in Utah ...
AND THEN
WAIT FOR IT
I WILL BE ON VACATIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Getting Big
Well it has been a while since I posted!! We have had some fun visitors, hit a few more milestones and just generally been cute as a button. Not that I'm biased or anything.
I realized I need to take more photos and not just on my iphone, so I can capture how fast this little one seems to grow. Just today I already had to go through her dresser to clean out all the stuff that is TOO SMALL for her now! Crazy because a lot of that stuff was too big when we first brought her home.
Last weekend Ann came to do a pre-Thanksgiving celebration and hang out with the little one...here are a few cute pics:
Seeming to enjoy tummy time (sometimes a rarity)
Hanging out with mom...
And then I like this pic b/c I think Mark and K look so much alike...and they have the SAME expression
We have also added some REAL FOOD to K's menu...our pediatrician who is of the appropriate mindset that most kids do just fine...says see what she likes over the next few months before she has to really get some eating done. So we started with some rice cereal which wasn't quite a big hit, but was tolerable BUT then added some prunes which are quite the delicacy. So Baby K has been learning about eating from a spoon which is fun for us, a bit harder on her clothes :-)
I also had a big weekend where I went out skiing!! First time since last winter. There were successes and failures on all accounts.
Here are the successes:
1. Returned home with all my toes and fingers
2. successfully got on and off the ski lift without any major mishaps
3. Successfully skied down a black run (accidently) b/c Mark took me that way
Failures:
1. Fell while standing still and had to have Mark take a ski off for me to be able to get up
2. Fell while on a cat track, all alone, and relatively flat
3. Did some complaining about the cold
HOWEVER all in, it was a good day and I got to rock my new skis...
Here are a few more cute shots of Baby K before I sign off for a bit...
These last couple shots have to be imagined with a high pitched continuous squeal in the background since that is the noise she is making....
In just a few weeks we are headed to Boston for my bro's wedding and are so excited to have K meet many new friends :) so look forward to photos in a few weeks and this weekend Tommy and Renee visited and they got a few good shots so we will add those too...
In the mean time, enjoy the holiday season! We have snow just piling up :)

A Few Shots of Around Here
These are from back when I was small....
So far it has been a great weekend (and it is only halfway!) I got to host a fun baby shower for one of the girls in my small group and help get excited about welcoming her little boy in the next few months. Mark and I went out to dinner for sushi in Park City and little peanut cooperatively slept the whole time. Baby K is a pumpkin and will be having an extended photo shoot later today (which I of course will post), and I have the best choc. chip cookie recipe. And I'm going to go to yoga this am and the climbing gym later today. Sweet.
Yup.
The Best.
Here it is if anyone is interested:
2 sticks butter (8oz) softened (I always use salted butter when I bake, but the recipe calls for unsalted)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup sugar in the raw (turbinado sugar)
1 and 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 and 1/2 cup flour, all purpose
1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 oz cholcolate cut into small chunks--they say 1/2 inch, but I typically like my cholcolate chunks smaller than that. They also say use the best quality you can--I usually by 3 giradelli chocolate bars that you find in the baking isle, usually 2x semi-sweet and 1x bitter sweet.
seasalt (I had to especially buy the kind with the big crystals especially for this recipe "coarse" sea salt)
Preheat to 350
Cream butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light 4-5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times during the process. Continue mixing while adding the eggs one at a time. Make sure each egg is incorporated before adding the next. Add vanilla.
in separate bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt. mix with wisk. with machine on low, slowly add all flour but just a little bit. Then add chocolate and remaining small bit of flour all together. Stir with spatula just until all is combined.
Then scoop and place on cookie sheet. No need to really press dough down. Since I usually can't get the salt crystals to stick on the top if I just sprinkle them one, I will usually put a little salt in the palm of my non-dominent hand and push the top of my cookie ball into it.
Bake at 350 x about 12 minutes. Do not overbake.
And here is a preview of the little pumpkin:

Both Sides Now...
As of yesterday, we now have a bi-directional roller...front to back, back to front...
Big day in the Parrett house! We're going to have to start thinking about baby proofing and maybe expanding her play mat so she can roll around a bit more.
This weekend coming up should be fun :-) I'm off and don't have to be on call (woohoo!) and get to host a baby shower for one of the lovely ladies in our small group. She is having a little boy and we are doing a fun fall themed shower..be on the look out for more pictures of this. I went to target (with mark) and got some cute little boy stuff!
We also introduced Kyla to formula cause she is eating me out of house and home! The good news is she didn't even seem to blink an eye at the formula and now seems equally as happy with formula or breast milk. I had talked to various friends to find out what type people were happy with and settled on an organic one called "Earth's Best." Kyla, as I said, seems that she couldn't care less. All the worry about starting it to find out that she is totally satisfied with either!! That's just one more reason why she is my favorite baby. I think the build-up to starting formula was way more than the actual event. She just sat quietly and drank away like she always does; and now that she can drink it, it takes a bit of pressure off of me to feel like if I miss one time to pump at work she will not have enough to eat!
I started a new rotation (Gynecology oncology) and am loving it. There's lots of surgery, time for teaching, and interesting things about it. The hours have also been less brutal and there have been two mornings this week where I have actually gotten to see both Mark and Kyla-what a good treat!
Anyways, that's the brief update from me..oh, and it snowed!
Happy Friday!!

Love My Daddy
So I want to make a post that gives a lot of credit to my hubby. My job is what I might call "restrictive..." as evidenced by my utter lack of posts these past few weeks.
Now, don't get me wrong, I truly do love what I do and knew pretty dang well what going into it would look like for me and Mark.
However...I didn't necessarily factor in completely how it might look with a little peanut added. We have been blessed beyond measure in the form of little Kyla and she is just such a happy little girl. Here's where all the shout-out goes to Mark.
Before we had Kyla he was a bit green when it came to kiddos, not a ton of babysitting, more just figuring it might make sense when the little one was his own.
Well, love, not only have you made it make sense you have made it look easy. Kyla LOVES her daddy. He wakes her up in the morning, feeds her, gets her ready for the day, baths her and just generally loves on her.
It is fairly often that I come home from work and the guitar is out, Mark playing to Kyla and seeing if he can get her to chime in well he sings.
It is such a wonderful and lovely blessing to have a little girl be so loved by her dad.
Mark-you are an awesome husband and are already just about the best dad little Kyla could ever want...
I'm so proud of you both :-)

Kyla is a chatterbox...
And she's working on sleeping through the night! We've got two whole nights under our belt :)
Not too shabby. Right now me and kp are getting some girl time and listening to opera. She likes it. And its in german so maybe she, like her mom can learn a totally useless language.
Sorry for the lack of posts...been logging some serious hours at work and caught a nasty bug. I'll try to be better in the next few weeks.

Look How Big I've gotten!!
Now her tummy fills this whole outfit...and we have had to go through the clothes drawer and get rid of all the "newborn" stuff! All the outfits I thought would be too small for her when she was born but actually fit just right are now too small!
Mark and I made a trip out to target to stock up on some fall clothes...picked up a cute pair of jeans, some little jackets and sweaters and some cute pjs.
She is going to be well dressed! And I'm sticking on one more pic of another cute outfit that a coworker made for me...so many talented people!
If you can't tell, it is a little giraffe on the front of the onesie..Kyla is shocked/excited out of her mind about just how good she looks (if you can't tell already by her expression...)
My goal for the next few days is to capture the little one rolling over...she has been doing it for about a week and half but gets camera shy whenever I try to capture it! So stay tuned for this...
Also, big welcome to baby Thandi! She was long in coming but my friend Mikki and her hubby JQ now have this sweet little cutie to call their own....
Babies everywhere!!!

So Much Good News!
I have lots of good stuff to share...
the first thing is (that I have been quietly trying not to tell...)
Judd got married!!! We are just so thrilled for him and his new wife Jana. When we first met Jana we knew right away that she was a pretty special lady...not to mention a wicked photographer and designer. We flew to Boston last week end for their wedding. That's where all the fun pics are fun!
I have only a few shots of the happy couple before my battery died...
The next big news is we have a porker on our hands! Kyla had her two month appointment yesterday and she weighed in over 10 pounds! Not too shabby. She also survived her shots although the look of utter anger that took over her face after the first poke was a sight to see. She then, however, went on to have her best night of sleep ever (per Mark). Who knows maybe shots help sleep?
I'm documenting the start of her thigh roles:
Someone was excited about it...
The last big news is I can wear my normal pants now!! Woohoo!
And now off to sleep for me...
Welcome to the family Jana! We're excited to have you ;)
