Happy Thanksgiving!!!

This was Kayleigh's 2nd Thanksgiving, but the first one when she actually ate turkey. She loved it so much, she ate it twice! We ate lunch at Karyn's family and dinner at Stephen's. Needless to say, a lot of turkey was eaten! Kayleigh wore her pretty dress and had a very hard time crawling, thanks to her tights (the dress didn't help either!). She also had tons of fun playing with her cousins and was out cold by the end end of the day. We also learned that Kayleigh's hair is long enough for pig tails, the front part at least. It's amazing how a simple hair style can make her look like a little girl!!!

1st Birthday Take 2!!!

Well,

Kayleigh's second 1st birthday party went very well! We had one party for family and friends and a second for our work family. They were both at the same place, which made it much easier. Kayleigh behaved very well and seemed completely unaware that everyone was there for her! She did not eat either of her cakes, even though they were DELICIOUS!

She also had her one year check-up (and shots-ouch). They gave her the dreaded MMR, Chicken Pox vaccine, and did a TB test on her poor arm. She handled them all very well and only cried for a few minutes. Kayleigh weighed in at 24 lbs 11 0z and 29 inches long. That means that in her first year she has gained 17 lbs 9 oz and 9 inches in length! She continues to crawl all around the house and gets into everything!!! She's a good girl overall, so I guess we will keep her!

It's Official!!!

Well,

Kayleigh is 1 year old today!!! Can you believe it?!? We had her first of two parties today (yes two! One for family and friends and 1 for our work family). She did a great job, despite the fact that she only napped for 40 minutes today! Kayleigh was a birthday diva!

Also, there are some pictures from Halloween. Did anyone have any wagers on her costume? This costume was a beacon on the shelf! We set out for a Super Baby, but Stephen said this was meant to be. Maybe next year, Daddy!!! Enjoy!

Fun Times!

Doesn't she look FABULOUS in leopard???




Kayleigh will be 1 year old in just 17 days...can you believe it? Where has time gone? She is so funny and literally learns at least one new thing every day! Still no walking, but the girl knows how to go where she wants to go! Recently, she started to walk if someone is holding her hands and she's doing great with that (when she feels like it!). She is up to 8 teeth, 4 on top and 4 on bottom and eating everything put in front of her. Stay tuned for Halloween pictures- I wonder what she'll be!?!

6 Teeth and Counting!

Kayleigh continues to do well! She is still not crawling yet, but always manages to get where she wants to go and grab her toys. It seems like she discovers new things everyday! When she drops things now, she tries to say, "Oh oh." Usually she only gets out the first syllable-too cute! Her four top teeth have finally poked through the gums, which has given her some relief! Thank goodness!!!

Summer Fun!!!

Kayleigh has had quite a busy summer! We had a BBQ on the 4th of July, unfortunately, Kayleigh slept through the fireworks- maybe next year! She LOVES splashing around in the pool and floating in her boat. Also, we took a trip down to Huntington Beach to visit our friends Brandon and Shagha (while our kitchen was being demolished for a remodel). Kayleigh did a great job in the car and slept like a baby (haha) in her pack-n-play. However, she was not a big fan of the beach or the ocean. Oh well, we had a great time and look forward to many more trips in the future!

8 months (almost)!!!

Feeding herself a cracker for the 1st time/ Wearing Mommy's glasses


Eating her little piggies/Reading books (she loves Ernie!)

Kayleigh continues to thrive! At her last check-up, she weighed in at 21 lbs 5 oz and 26 inches. So, in the 8 (almost) months she's been alive, she has gained 14 pounds and 6 inches in length!!! I guess we're doing something right! Still no teeth, but one will be poking out any day now hopefully. Kayeigh is a great eater (obviously) and loves veggies. Her favorite food right now is mac and cheese, homemade by Mommy- thank you very much! Everyday Kayleigh seems to observe and learn something new and is a chatter box-oh my goodness, what a JOY!!!

Summertime!

Swimming with her Daddy!!! Nike Chick


Kayleigh and cousin Savannah! Lovin' that Leopard!!!

Well,


We had 3 blazing hot days (over 100) last week, so we decided to introduce Kayleigh to the pool! First we dipped her toes in, then her hands, and pretty soon, she was sitting on the first step. She loved it and splashed around for about 15 minutes!!! We are hoping she will love the pool like we do so we can enjoy it as a family.


Still no teeth yet, but she's chewing away. Kayleigh goes in for her 6 month check-up (a little late) next week and we'll update you on her height/weight then!

Big Smile!!!

Sittin' Pretty

Our Family!!!

Well,


Miss Kayleigh continues to hit new milestones on schedule! She is now sitting up by herself (and probably would have been even sooner if we had given her the chance). It's so fun to watch her experience the world from a whole new prospective. Instead of looking over at things and playing on her back or tummy, she looks at things at eye level and sees her toys in a new way! Don't get me wrong, she still topples over, but she is doing fabulous! She babbles ALL the time and gets tickled by the simplest things. Her laugh is contagious and is one of the best sounds in the entire world! Still no pearly whites yet, but she is chewing on EVERYTHING!!!

5 Months!!!

Where's My Dinner??? Thanks Auntie Marie

Lovin' that Leopard!!! My First Sippie Cup


Posing Pretty in my Easter Dress


Well, Kayleigh is now 5 months old...how time flies!!! She is getting big and seems to discover new things around her everyday. Also, she has learned how to project her voice and make different pitches. She is getting her own little personality and definitely knows what she likes and dislikes!!! Kayleigh loves her rice cereal mixed with carrots or squash.

4 Month Check-Up!!!

Yummy in my tummy!!!

Oh my, it's Super Baby!!!

Well, Kayleigh had her 4 month check-up today and did a great job! She now weighs 16 lbs 10 oz and is 24 1/2 inches long. This means that she is OVER 95% in weight and 50% in height. Surprisingly, the doctor said she is probably not getting enough to eat and should start rice cereal!!! So, we tried it when we got home and she HATED it. I think more ended up on her bib than in her mouth! She'll get the hang of it- we hope. Also, she got her 2nd round of shots...what a tough girl! Kayleigh smiles a lot and has laughed a few times. She is changing everyday it seems and is more and more interactive.
Stay Tuned!!!

Getting Big!!!

Sleeping Beauty

Lookin' Good in Leopard!!!

Well, Kayleigh will be 4 months old on Saturday! Can you believe it? She is outgrowing her 3 month sleepers, but is still a little too short for the 3-6 months. She has rolled over a couple of times from her tummy to back, but it may have been accidental! Kayleigh is already a little chatter box and is a great conversationalist!!! We are so excited to watch her grow!
