Meeting Santa

Daddy is carrying on tradition. He has been the Easter Bunny and now Santa Claus.

Wow is it hard to take a family picture using the timer on the camera.

9 month wellness check

Thursday we took Kaitlyn in for her wellness check-up. She weighs 21.10 pounds and is 30 inches long. It turned out she had an ear infection, we had no idea. She has been sleeping well and eating well, we never would have guessed her ear was hurting her, good thing she had her wellness check up, we caught it early. We also had her get a flu shot which she took like a champ, she didn't even drop a tear.

playing

Now that I can crawl around I prefer to play with Gingers toys and mommy's magazines.

John Deere

Grandpa Burdick works for John Deere and he got me a complete outfit that i looked so cute in.

Going for a family walk

Getting into my warm gear for a walk around the neighborhood.
Ginger is waiting patiently for us to start our walk

Kaitlyn is so excited to be outside, we are sad that the cold weather is coming and our evening walks are coming quickly to an end.

A Few Big Events This Month

I got my first tooth, it came in on Sunday, October 19th. I am also crawling around everywhere, more of an army crawl, but I will get there soon. The army crawl is fast enough for mom and dad, there is no more leaving me alone to go make dinner, it's possible she won't be in the same room, we must invest in some gates. She loves the kitchen, she likes to bang her hands on the wood floor to hear the sounds.

This is a picture with Blue (Grandma Benberry's dog). Blue will lay there forever and let Kaitlyn bang on her. Kaitlyn gets tired of it before Blue ever does.

Go Colt's!!!

Hanging out with Sabrina and Cameron on Game Day Sunday.

Spending time with mommy

We went to Falls Park to the craft fair for the afternoon.

eating and drinking

At 7 months now I have tried everything and have not found anything I don't like. I like it all peas, green beens, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, and all the fruit. I have been using a sippy cup to drink water during meals. Growing up quick.
Mommy let me feed myself some bananas. Mommy put them on the spoon and I did the rest.

I learned how to do rasberries and liked to do it while eating. It makes for a messy feeding!

I am using a sippy cup for drinking water. I caught on the first time using it.

Pictures from Grandma Amos

I am not sucking my thumb, it just looks like it!
I still like to sleep with my head to the ceiling.

Good thing Grandpa put the bed together well or Cameron and I would have fallen to the floor.

Silly Cameron using the doggy door at Grandma's.

This is probably the last time to play in the pool for the year, I can't wait for next year!

Labor Day - Kaitlyn is 6 months old Today

We spent the day with family & friends at the pool.

After a long day swimming, I crashed on the deck for a few hours.

That night I tried peas for the first time and loved them.

Labor Day Weekend

Saturday we went Downtown with Family & Friends to see the Sky concert. We headed downtown around 1pm. We had such a great time. Kaitlyn loved the fireworks, she stared at them the entire 1/2 hour they lasted. Avery and Alex were so exhausted from the long day that they fell asleep during the fireworks. We also ran in to our friends Abby & Scott and their two kids Ella (21 months) and Cole (3 months) who also joined us. It was a perfect day.

Kaitlyn took a long nap while we walked the canal, this is her waking up.
While walking the canal, Cameron, Alex, Avery, and Sabrina decided to roll down a hill.

Eating like a Champ

I just went to my 6 month check up. I weigh 18 3/4 lbs. (95 percentile) and length 27" (95 percentile). I start green vegetable next week. I have got this spoon eating down.

Laughing at Cameron

We went to Grandma & Grandpa Amos' for dinner tonight and afterwards Cameron was getting tickled by his mother and all the sudden Kaitlyn started laughing histarically.
