8 months old and wiser too....

Beej & Chris


Ok so I am a little late on this...since Kaylee is 9 months tomorrow. But since we don't have insurance this month, Kaylee wont see the doctor for her 9 month appointment till next month when she will be 10 months. So I will do her 9mo stats then. :)



Kaylee is CRAZY fun! I don't even know where to start....

- She jumped the gun and started walking at 8 1/2 months. She still falls down and will crawl- but she can take 12 steps if she wants to and if she has a good focus on something that she wants.
- Kaylee goes down for bed anywhere between 7-8:30 pm and wakes up around 5 am. Eats a bottle and sleeps in till about 7:30am. For a bout a week Kaylee only took one 2 1/2 hour nap...but this week she got back into the groove of things and takes her first nap around 9 am or 10am and sleeps for 2-2 1/2 hours. She then takes her second nap around 2-3pm for about an hour. However it takes her an hour usually to go down for her nap. So she is up in her crib for about 2 hours. She plays, then will cry for a minute or two, then plays until she finally crashes.
- Bath time is so much fun. Kaylee loves to splash and play.

- Peek-a-boo is a favorite past time as well as patty cake. She will clap her hands whenever you start to sing.

- Kaylee LOVES to be chased. When she is playing with other kids she wants them to crawl and follow her. She just keeps turning her head back to make sure they are coming. She will crawl to the stairs and wait and wait for me to come and then giggles and go as fast as she can up the stairs.

- Kaylee gives butterfly kisses. She was kissing my belly last night and kept blowing and making a loud noise. It tickled so much. I couldn't stop laughing. So the more I laughed the more Kaylee would do it. She would see me laughing and smile and kept doing it. SOO funny!

- She is a cute little dancer. When we listen to music I will bounce up and down and she will copy me. She also copies noises and high fives. And when I sing to her before she goes to bed..she will try to sing with me. It is the cutest thing. She especially likes "I am a Child of God"

- Kaylee says Mama & Dadda.

- She uses her belly to make noise. She will slap her hands on her belly or chest while she yells (like a mini gorilla). Our camera isn't working right now..but hopefully I will be able to get a video of that soon.

- Kaylee also drinks from a sippy cup and loves to eat whatever we are eating. She used to say "babba" when she wanted her bottle. But now she says "Nanna" whenever she is hungry or if she wants to eat what we are eating.


We love our Kaylee soo much and couldn't imagine life without her! Here is a few fun video's.....





This is Kaylee "grocery shopping" in the kitchen. She likes to push her Bumbo around the kitchen and stick her toys (baby powder & lotion) around in it. I love how she gave me "the look" when I moved the bumbo.






This is Kaylee enjoying some daddy time. Kaylee LOVES daddy and gets soo excited when he comes home from work. She also likes to talk to him on the phone. When she hears his voice she says "Dadda".






Kaylee loves to knock down towers. No matter where she was- if she saw a tower, she would come and knock it over.

Walking and just having fun

Beej & Chris


Yes we are listening to Christmas music!!! My favorite part is when I say "Kaylee say Mama" and she babbles back. It is so fun hearing her whisper and babble different words.

Blessings

Beej & Chris

Lately I have been emotional and worrying about everything. I started thinking about all the good in my life and all the things I don't have to worry about and decided to write a list of the many many things that I am grateful for. It is easy to see what is going on wrong, rather than remembering all that is going good. So here are just a few things I am grateful for.
- My husband! Whenever I get stressed I call him and just tell him everything. He listens and then shows me how things will work out.
- A healthy beautiful 8 1/2 month Kaylee!! She is soo much fun and such a joy in my life
- A warm, safe home to live in with a loving an amazing ward.
- Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!
- Having my family live close by and having the best family ever. I call my mom almost everyday and I know my dad is there if I ever need anything...even help with a Resume. :)
- Having a Father-in-Law that lives close and is soo cute with Kaylee and 2 Mother-in-Laws that are so kind and such fun Grandma's
- A great job that works with staying home being a mom. And working with a great friend Challae who is the cutest mom ever...who watches Kaylee while I do a visit or two during the week.
- Having a sister-in-law Kierston who is such a great mom...live close to my work so she can watch Kaylee when I have my work meetings every Thursday.
- BJ obtaining such a GREAT new job with such fun people and a place he feels like he can continue to learn and grow
- AMAZING friends that are there for me whenever I need someone to talk to.

GO UTES!!!

Beej & Chris

One of our neighbors gave us AWESOME tickets to the Ute vs. Colorado State game October
23rd. We took Kaylee with us and had a BLAST.
ha ha Not the best pictures but it shows how great our seats were.

Kaylee is saying "GO UTES!"

he he I love Kaylee's face in this one!


Yummy Hot Cocoa




We are hiding from the rain and cold



Kaylee did AMAZING in the rain. It was pouring rain for the first half of the game. Kaylee hung out with me in my poncho until she ripped it up. Thankfully it stopped raining and was great weather the rest of the game.

Halloween 2010

Beej & Chris

In case you couldn't figure it out...BJ is a tree and Kaylee and I are Owls

I wish I got a picture of my dad, mom, and brother. My mom is always taking pictures of everybody else. I need to be better to take more pictures of her!!! :) But she was a pumpkin (well she wore a pumpkin shirt)

My sister and Desiree


KAYLEE



Yes I made her owl costume and yes it was a lot more work than I thought it was going to be...but I was so happy how it turned out!

The wings I originally made for her were WAY too big. In fact they ended up being my wings! So I just had to guess in the size for her wings. But it worked out.

Kaylee, Desiree, and Travis

I had to post this. This is my Aunt Becky and her family. I just thought their costumes were soo clever....not to mention my aunt made all but the Batman costume and Cat woman mask. SO impressive and super cute!!!

Here are some pictures from our Halloween Party. Thanks Nina for taking pictures since I once again couldn't find my camera. :)
Nina- what a cute Angel with a cute prego belly. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!!

Nina and Tanner are always the life of the party so we are sooo glad they came and danced and partied it up with us!

Challae and I planned the party. Challae brought decorations, cooked a lot of food, brought drinks, and helped set up and clean up. SHE IS AMAZING!!! You can't tell by this picture but she was the dog catcher, her husband Graeme was a fire hydrant and her little Brinlee was a dog. Such a cute idea!

Ha ha BEST COSTUME ever!! Rachel, Gavin and Eric. I am soo glad they came!!

This is Nina and Tanner's friend Breanna and ?? All I know is Breanna is freakin awesome and the best dancer out there....besides you Nina :)

ha ha ha I LOVE this picture. Poor Nina couldn't bob for any apples...well she could, she just couldn't get any with her mouth. But she was such a good sport!


Rachel the Nun


Tanner being silly
Impressive moves Green's. Oh and yes that is their curtains as their costumes. ha ha LOVE it!






ha ha...Ya I cheated. I could NOT get a apple either. So I just pretended and pulled myself out of the line. Tanner kept taking the small apples out. I kept telling him that I have a SMALL mouth and I need a small apple.



Kaylee slept for most of the party but woke up enough to dance and meet everyone.
The party ended up being a lot of fun!!! Thanks everyone for coming and for helping cleaning up after. Who is going to do it next year? Cause its not going to be us! Too much work! :)
