Kylie's Latest Adventures

This should get everyone caught up on what's been going on with us...

Yesterday Kylie took her 10 month old pictures with our favorite photographer Cean. You can view the pictures here. Warning: there are naked baby pictures and she was very comfortable taking them, uh oh.

Kylie was invited over to her future in-laws house to go swimming with her betrothed Carter. This was Kylie's first time in a swimming pool of any kind and she did great. She was a little unsure at first but after a while she played like she does during bath time. Now that she has conquered the baby pool she is ready to have lots of fun this summer in her Mema & Papa's pool. =)





Since we had such a warm weekend Steven and I took Kylie to the park. She can't do too much there right now but she really does love the swings. The slide she's not to sure about, we'll work on it...

We had a very busy Easter, to make things a little easier we went to church the night before. We put Kylie in the Nursery for the first time. She was assigned the number 5000 in case she freaked out and they needed one of us to come get her. Needless to say Steven and I were watching for the number to come up the whole service. Happily, she did great and was very happy to see us. =) Next time we may not be so lucky since she'll realize that we're leaving her with strangers.

Easter morning Kylie opened her Easter basket which contained, Puffs (some of her favorites), a book, and some ladybug Easter eggs. It’s so nice that she is at the age where she is happy getting anything and if she doesn't get anything she doesn't care. =)

Of course Kylie wasn't able to open her Easter basket completely on her own. Our curious cat Scout just needed to know what she was getting. He was very interested in watching her look at everything. He loves her and lets her abuse him.

We went to Brunch at Victoria Club with Steven's family. There was a person dressed as the Easter bunny. Steven and I were a little worried that Kylie would be scared of it, but our brave girl loved it. She wanted to bite its face and she actually let it hold her.

After brunch we went over to Nana's house. For those who don't know my family has a money egg hunt for the adults. There is a $5 buy-in and clues (which are necessary) are $1/each. Its very serious and has lasted for hours in previous years. This year my Uncle Art and Aunt Joani were in charge of hiding the egg which meant the egg could be anywhere. Just to give you an idea of where they hid the egg in past years:

• in a grapefruit (yes IN one)
• froze it in a block of ice and put it in with the drinks
• cut out the middle of a Harry Potter book (my aunt pretended she was reading the book)
• in dirt with dirt glued to it
• inside a Dr. Pepper can

just to name a few. This year I can happily report that Steven and Kylie's godfather Scott found the egg together. Long story short, it ended up being glued to the bottom of a sippy cup. Since Steven and I hid the egg last year (oh so very stressful), we decided that Scott and Kelly can hide it next year.

Sorry it was so long. =)

Kylie with the Easter Bunnies

Kylie LOVED the bunnies and she did such a good job. Thanks to my Aunt Di for letting us know when the photographer would be coming to the school. =)

Happy Easter!

Kylie had a Busy Day Yesterday!

It's almost like Kylie knows that we started the blog to keep everyone updated on how she is changing.

Yesterday was just like any other day, I went into her room to get her up from her nap and found her sitting up in her crib. Steven and I have never seen her go from laying down to sitting up on her own, so of course I grabbed the camera. Just minutes later I thought I saw a little white speck in the bottom of her mouth. Sure enough she is FINALLY getting a tooth! Once she lets me I'll get a picture. I thought she had an eventful day already and it wasn't even 11 a.m, I was a very excited mama.

Later in the afternoon I hear a little commotion going on in her room just before I went to get her up from her afternoon nap and what do I find? Kylie was standing up in her crib! This wasn't the first time she used furniture to help herself stand up but it was the first time she did it in her crib. I of course grab the camera again to capture the smiley girl. She seemed so proud of herself.

(For those who are wondering, Steven lowered her crib later that night.)

Hi Everyone!

Steven and I decided to start this blog to keep anyone who is interested updated on what's happening with us.  Let me clarify...what's happening with Kylie.  We know we're old news =), however from time to time you may be getting information about us as well.  

We're hoping to post pictures as well as videos.  Kylie is growing so fast and is so much fun.  She is actually starting to crawl, something we never thought would happen since she absolutely hated being on her stomach.  We were convinced that she would go straight to walking since she loves her walker so much.  Right now she is working on pulling herself up with the furniture.  Needless to say she keeps us busy.   

As you can tell from her picture she does not have any teeth yet.  Steven and I are impatiently waiting for them, she however is blissfully unaware that she is toothless.

We hope to give updates once a week but we'll see how things go with our active little girl.
