The family has been singing a new tune for the past week.

Welcome Baby Caroline!

Someone really likes her sippy cup. I can already hear "I can do it myself".

September Stats

The monthly photo with her monthly "stats" and milestones. Our 6 month check up went well with the lil miss. And she sure surprised us....we knew she'd grown, but we weren't expecting 3 inches! Kaylee is measuring 29 inches long - time to get a bigger carseat! She weighs 18.5 lbs and is right where her doctor thinks she should be.

Lots of new things this last month. Kaylee can sit by herself for short periods of time and she much prefers sitting up to laying down. She's rolling in both directions from her back to her tummy and has even made it from her tummy to her back once. It won't be long before and she'll be mobile.

Teething is in full swing -- two bottom teeth appear to be quite close. We also survived our first cold and are now in the middle of her second. Ahhh, the joys of daycare.

She loves her fruits and veggies and takes quite an interest in what we're eating too. Our big girl also loves trying her sippy cup. Not great at it, but she definitely understands what its for.

Its just amazing how much she is changing and accomplishing everyday. There's so many little things that she figures out. I can only imagine what will happen in the next month.

Wordless Wednesday

Sittin

I got a chance to snag a few photos this weekend of the next big milestone for the lil miss. She's been working at sitting by herself for awhile. And, she now can sit unassisted for a small amount of time. She still does the occasional face plant, but is usually not fazed by it. Something else we're working on? Teeth...The amount of drool that is coming out of her mouth is astounding. The strength that she can bite down on your finger is astounding. The high pitched screams -- you can only imagine.

Gameday

Saturday was a difficult day for Kaylee....she just couldn't decide what team colors to wear.

It's a good thing her mommy dresses her :)

Good Times with Good Friends

Someone had an awfully good time in Missouri this weekend. And so did her parents!

We trekked over to Kansas City for Labor Day weekend to visit friends and had a blast checking things out...BBQ (of course), Bass Pro and Cabella's (for the boys), and Santa-Cali-Gon Days (with some crafts for the girls). We can't forget some quality time hanging out by the fire in the evening. One of the most interesting little thing this weekend? Rootbeer milk. That's right, rootbeer milk. Its awesome and we brought some home, along with some strawberry milk. Too bad you can only get it in Missouri and Kansas.

A trip to Cabella's isn't complete without a buying something camo

All smiles with Doug and Dawn
