Craig is determined to make Kay not be afraid of the water. We always rinse her with a big dump of water and she actually enjoys it. She usually gives a big smile and often a giggle after.
Nana and Pops came to visit this weekend. We put pops to work helping with the porch on Saturday morning and then all headed to visit cousin Will and Charlotte. The girls were so cute. They are really starting to interact with each other. Charlotte kept giving Kay hugs and kisses.
Kay is 10 months old! We have been busy this month. Over the past week she has transitioned from doing a backwards scoot to getting up on her hands and knees and rocking. It is only a matter of time before she will be on the move. She is getting much better at standing with support as well. Kay is also finally big enough to take out the infant insert (head support) in the carseat.
She is currently working on cutting a tooth. I can see it just starting to poke through the surface. It looks like there might be a second one ready to come out too. This has made for some long days and nights since she is uncomfortable with the teething.
Kay is now eating in her booster seat and riding in the grocery cart. She is loving both. She gets to sit with mom and dad at the table now and watch the people go by at the store.
Kay got her first goose egg last week. She fell right into the corner of the baseboard when she decided she was done sitting up. You can see the remnants of it on her 10 month teddy bear pictures. Of course, it happened right when we were about to walk out the door to take her to the church nursery for the first time. I held ice on it in the car and the nursery staff said they would keep ice on it as well. She did great and will be returning again soon!
We celebrated Earth Day with some friends downtown. There was a festival going on as well as a BBQ and Bluegrass event. We had a lot of fun and Kay really liked watching everything. She wore her Mother Earth shirt in support of "going green". Thanks to cousin Will and Charlotte for the cute shirt!
We celebrated Kay's first Easter with a lot of time outside and going to church!
There were a bunch of kids in the service, Kay really behaved great. We did not have to take her out once. She did try to "sing" with everyone and did not stop when the music stopped. There was a 10 month old baby boy sitting in front of us. Kay would make noise and then he would respond. It was pretty humorous.
We took Kay to the gardens at a nearby office building. I had these grand plans of sitting her in with the flowers and getting Easter pictures. This was Kay's first time feeling grass on her legs and she was not a fan. She screamed as soon as we set her down. We finally got her calmed down and sitting on a blanket for the rest of the pictures.
We also spent several hours hanging out outside our house watching Craig dig holes for our new porch. We tried to cheer him on because I know that was miserable work.
I have asked Kay's pediatrician if she could already be suffering from allergies already (see picture in sun hat with watery eyes and runny nose). Although the doctor says she is too young, I think she might be. Every time we have taken her outside over the past few weeks her poor eyes water non-stop and her nose is like a hose. I am crossing my fingers she did not get her dad's seasonal allergies!
