Family Visit...

We went to a small town South East of here to visit Craig's great uncles. We had such a nice time visiting with them. Scott, Annelise, Will, and Charlotte went with us as well. We had a lot of fun and plan on returning soon! Kay and Charlotte were fascinated by the camera. It was pretty funny trying to get all of them to sit still for a picture. I should have been taking pictures and video of us trying to get them to smile!

8 months!

Kay is 8 months now. We took her to the doctor to get her flu vaccine the week she turned 8 months. She weighed in at 15 lbs 10.5 oz with clothes on. Kay is into everything now. She rolls to get where she wants and will not eat with anything going on around her (she gets distracted). She is still obsessed with her socks and won't keep them on for more than a few seconds. She really likes to play with little objects with her fingers (like shoe strings etc.). She continues to love her food and is drinking 5-8 oz during each feeding. She continues to be long and thin. Where do you think she got that from?? In the pictures below Kay is wearing a dress my mom wore as a baby.

We continue to take her to physical therapy every week. They want Kay to now learn now to get herself into the "crawling" position.

We are still crossing our fingers for the ear infections to stay away. She has a small cold this week and we are really hoping it doesn't impact her ears.

Overall, she is still one happy, healthy, smiley little girl!

Snow!

We did get a little bit of snow when Craig returned home from China. We took a nice family walk in the snow and our friends joined us. Kay isn't a huge fan of the cold air, but we bundled her up really well and she took a nice toasty nap while we walked.

The Park

We took Kay to the park by our house. She seemed to enjoy the baby swing there. At first she just looked at it trying to figure out what she was sitting in. After awhile she warmed up to it. I think she is going to love it soon. She had the most fun playing with dad in the air!

Jump! Jump!

Kay is starting to love her doorway jumper. At first she just stood there and then once Craig and I started jumping beside her she giggled so loud and started copying us. Here is a little video of her playing with Craig.

In case you are wondering....

....two thumbs are better than one...

Dear Daddy,

Dear Daddy,

I miss you! Please hurry home from China. Bath time is not as fun without you!

Love,
Kay

Oh yeah, mom says it is your shift for "sleep boot camp" when you get home!
