Yummy, yummy! Rice cereal!

Who would have ever thought that you could get so excited over rice cereal?! Our little girl is growing up so fast (sob, sob) it's crazy! We think that Kaylee has been ready to start solid foods for a while now (grabbing at our food, cups etc.) and so we decided that this would be the weekend. We thought that it was such a milestone that we even went out and bought a video camera just for the special event! She did better than we thought (no sour faces or anything). She seemed more interested in the spoon than anything else and more of it ended up on her bib than in her tummy, but hey, it's a start.

GGma and GGpa bought Kaylee a highchair yesterday so we had to put some new pictures of Kaylee in her new 'big girl' chair!

Enjoy a video of Kaylee and her rice cereal making history!

Sittin' Pretty

We love watching Kaylee sit up like a big girl (she's been doing a lot better at that now). She just loves reading books. Just look at her expressions! We'll tell you a story about her experience...

Ah...nothin' like a good book...This one's called "Where is Baby's Belly Button?"

Hmm...I don't really understand what these letters mean...

Grandma...what does this book say?

My belly button is where?! Oh my goodness!

That's it, I've had enough of this book...

A Visit from Uncle Primmy

Well Kaylee had quite an exciting week. Her uncle Dustin had a class in Torrance this week for his helicopter school and so he was able to stay with us. He always says that he's Kaylee's favorite uncle because he visits her the most. He's very good at keeping her entertained. We all sure did love having Primmy here with us! Good luck in school!

Awe, don't they look cute together?

Kaylee has a fascination with cups. Whenever you put one in front of her face she grabs at it furiously. Don't worry, she didn't drink any of uncle Primmy's Mountain Dew!

It sure is rough waking up!

And we just had to put this picture in...we just absolutely love this one!

Heat Wave!

Kaylee turned 5 months old today. My how time flies! She had her 4 month check up on Aug. 24th (even though she was closer to 5 months). She weighed 15 lbs. 12 oz. and was 25 1/2 inches long. This puts her in the 75th percentile for weight and height. She got 4 more shots and ended up getting a fever that night as a result. No fun!

This last week was quite hot! Yesterday it was 101 degrees, which everyone knows is perfect barbecuing weather, right?. Well we decided to escape the heat, we would let Kaylee go swimming for the first time this weekend. She really enjoyed the nice cool water (after the initial
shock, of course). Here are some pictures from this weekend.

Now this isn't so bad after all. Quite refreshing, actually.

Now for a more serious look.

Everybody just loved Kaylee in the outfits that Jared's aunt and cousin's got for her. Thanks so much!

Kaylee wasn't quite sure what the funny things on her feet were, but she'll learn that every outfit needs a good pair of shoes, right?!
