Our Little Fishy

Our little girl loves the pool. I actually knew this before we went on vacation, but I didn't realize how much. She has no fear. I wish we would have found the baby pool sooner because when we did, our little monster was in heaven. She was trying to dive head first into the water and she didn't care how much water she swallowed! Another note, Kaylea has awesome skin. She did not burn at all and even came back a little darker than when she left.

Beach Bums

Kaylea decided to get up extra early most mornings while on vacation. I think we got up around 4am on morning and the latest she slept was 7:30, so we spent some early morning time on the beach. She was a little nervous about it at first, but seemed to like the ocean and the sand. Surprisingly, she did not try to eat the sand!

Sesame Street

Beaches Resort partners with Sesame Street, so Kaylea was lucky enough to meet all of the Sesame Street characters. We wondered if she would be frightened, but not my baby girl. She was excited each time we saw a character. She would walk right over to try to meet them. We took her to the character breakfast on Monday morning. She would only let mommy take pictures with her (how convenient). We danced and sang and she loved every minute of it (I need to check out the video and see if I have the nerve to post).

First Airplane Ride

Kaylea took her first flight on Friday, July 1st. We flew from Louisville to Atlanta and then on to Provincials. She did great. We had to wake her up a little after 4am. There was so much going on that she only took a nap on the first flight :( We were hoping she would sleep a little longer because she was all over the place on the second flight. Luckily, the second flight wasn't full so we had the entire row to ourselves.

Checking Out The Airplane

All Tuckered Out

MIA

We've been missing in action for over a week, but no worries! We have been vacationing. Millie took the family (including our cousins Trina, Meagan, and Mikey) to Beaches Resort in the Turks & Caicos Islands. We had a blast and I have so many pictures, it is going to be difficult to decide which ones to post. Kaylea experienced a lot of first, so I will probably separate into different posts. We had so much fun, but are happy to be back home and in the regular routine.

Fetch With The Doodle

Kaylea loves to play fetch with the Doodle. She can't throw the dog's toy very far, but she tries and she thinks it is funny when the Doodle grabs it from her.

Will She Give Up The Bottle?

Hmmmm....will Kaylea give up her bottle anytime soon? It's not very likely, but mama is working on it. I've been giving Kaylea's her formula in a sippy cup, but she will only drink part of it from the cup. Oh well, she's still a baby.

O-R-E-O

We have been experimenting with regular table food with Kaylea for awhile now. It's just recently that she has actually become somewhat interested. For lunch today she ate a lot of Mac & Cheese and peas and she had a special treat. She had half of an Oreo. Judging from the pictures, she may get that sweet tooth from her mama.

Just Gettin' Started

YUM!

I Love My New Toy Box

Kaylea may have too many toys. That's not really possible, is it? Daddy wanted to get her a toy box so they weren't all over the house. As you can see, Kaylea has a lot of fun playing with the toy box.

I Can Walk

Kaylea says, "watch out mom and dad, I'm on the go." I'm not sure what defines walking. If it is taking a step or two unassisted, Kaylea has been walking for sometime. However, I'm calling this her official walk. She can walk several steps (10-12) and remain standing instead of sitting down. We are so excited about her ability to walk, but don't want our sweet baby to grow up!
