Wow a 9 month old and a new decade! Does it get any more exciting then that? Well Kaylee is growing up so fast and trying to be independent but yet still a mama's girl. 

Words she says now: mama, dada, up
ba = ball
bubu= bubbles
da= dog or mushu
T = turtle
and she does a lot of babbling 

Sleep: not going to talk about it because I don't want to jinx it.

Things she loves to do: dance, pound on things like they are a drum, play on her activity table, and hang out with daddy.

Things she doesn't like: baby food with chunks in it and  getting dressed.

We are starting to plan her 1st birthday (eeek it's only 3 months away) I think we are going to do a bunny theme since it's so close to easter. It will be down South so all our family and friends can come and celebrate with us on making it through the first year of parenthood.

Here are our monthly pictures. It keeps getting harder since she loves to always be on the go!









We are so excited for Kaylee's first Christmas. Here a few of her Santa Pictures. She actually really liked him. It will probably be next year  that she screams her head off. Merry Christmas everyone. We hope you all celebrate with the 3 F's. Family, food, and fun. 

Yay, she likes him!

Kaylee got to attend her very first birthday party. Our good friends son turned 3 and had his birthday at Build - A - Bear. It was such a fun party and Kaylee will remember it for years to come because she got to make a Frosty that lights up and makes sound. She loves it! Thanks Tristin for inviting us to your awesome party.


Having a good ol' time at Build A Bear.

Kaylee is now 8 months old and on the move. She doesn't sit still for anything which makes taking our monthly pictures very difficult now. 

Q: How many teeth does she have?
A. 2 bottom teeth, 1 eye tooth and another trying to come out

Q: What is your favorite thing about Kaylee getting teeth?
A. Her smile is so cute now

Q. What do you like least about Kaylee getting teeth?
A. She is a bit of a drama queen during the day because her mouth hurts.

Q: What is something cute that she has begun to do?
A. When I ask where Mushu is, she looks around until she finds her and then starts giggling.

Q: What is one thing that has surprised you about Kaylee in the last month?
A. She was super excited to meet Santa and loved him. She wouldn't stop smiling for him, and even got sad when we had to leave.

Q: What is something that Kaylee is trying to accomplish?
A. Sleeping through the night, taking longer naps (still), and crawling on all 4s rather than scooting everywhere.

Time just keeps on ticken ticken ticken!!! Kaylee is already 7 months old today. She weighs 17lbs 14 oz. and is 26 inches long. She is scooting all over the place army style. She loves to go after mushu toys, remote controls, phones, computers and paper. She can grab bits of food and feed herself, although she doesn't always make it in her mouth. She likes to watch World Music and Baby Neptune in the Baby Einstein series. She loves to swing at the park, bang on the drums in music class, and watch me blow bubbles outside. Her favorite game is peek-a-boo and it makes her laugh so hard. She still doesn't like to sleep through the night and she gets really sad whenever I leave the room... to the point where she screams and screams until I return. I can't seem to get anything done lately. Each stage keeps getting more fun and I am loving every minute of it.

We went to a baby's first Halloween party with some of the family's from my mom's group. We had a great time playing and eating and getting to know the dads.
