Happy Fall, everyone!

Sippy Cup

Kaylee's been drinking water from a sippy cup for a few weeks now, and recently has figured out how to hold on to the cup and drink on her own. She can't always hold it up enough to get the water, but does pretty well for just starting out.

Not holding my breath...

In the past week or two, Kaylee started scrunching up her nose and eyes and making a funny face that we call her "evil baby" look. She does it all the time, but especially in between most bites when we're feeding her.

In the past few days, she's started getting up on her hands and knees on her own, and just yesterday started rocking back and forth...could crawling be just around the corner?? Of course when we thought, "she'll be rolling over any day now!" it turned out to be about 3 months later. But it could happen! :-) For now, she gets a bit frustrated when she gets up that way and can't seem to go anywhere!!

Unwrapped

Kaylee's Grandma unwrapped a birthday gift yesterday and threw the wrapping paper on the floor for our cats to play with. They sat on it for a bit, but I think Kaylee had more fun with it than they did!

Bear booty?

This photo is from this morning...I thought it was a cute expression. (Of course, which of her expressions do I not think are cute??) It's her Mona Lisa face...not quite a smile, but not *not* a smile...











Wow - those are some huge blue eyes!!
Kaylee attended her first Greek Festival this past Saturday. My parents live just down the street from the Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Atlanta, so we've gone every year since it's a short walk from their house. Since Kaylee likes to people watch, we thought she would enjoy it. I think she did, though it was pretty hot out - earlier in the week it looked like it would be about 70, but it was more like sunny and 80. At least it wasn't too humid. We sat outside and watched the dancers some, but went inside through some of the shops when we were getting too hot.

Not too much else going on that I can think of. Kaylee's rolling around like crazy these days; that's how she gets across the room to get to different toys, though she hasn't quite figured out how to get something that's right in front of her but just out of reach...she scoots backwards in her attempts to stretch forwards, then gets frustrated that she's further away than she was!

Here are a couple pictures of Kaylee and her bear booty PJs.

Colorful eating

Kaylee started eating veggies this past weekend. So far she's had carrots and green beans and seems to enjoy both. I *think* she gets more in her than on her, though it could be a toss up...tonight Jamie got to scrub beans out of her eyebrow...fun, fun, fun.

As you can see from the first photo, she gets a bit feisty when you stop feeding her to take a picture!!

Brennan Photos!

We visited Stephen, Steph and Brennan at the hospital this morning. Brennan is so tiny! Hard to believe Kaylee was ever that little... :-) Brennan slept pretty much the whole time we were there, though she did open her eyes for a few brief seconds so we could get a glimpse of her dark eyes - very dark blue/gray. (She shut them right when I got the camera ready, of course!!)

Shortly after we arrived, a doctor came in and asked if they were ready to head home today, and - without hesitation - they both said "yes!" We left before noon, and they were hoping to be on the road shortly after 1:00...it's 4:00 now so I'm guessing they're back home with Ethan by now. (Apparently Ethan was ready for them and Brennan to come home Thursday night - her birthday!)

Here are a few photos of my grandparents, Jamie and me with Brennan. I realized after we left that I didn't get a photo of Brennan with her parents!! Oops!
