Wow, ok so I'm behind!

Alright, alright, alright already! LOL I'm a bit behind as things here have been a little crazy! I start a new job on Monday (so before that I was job hunting), everyone has been sick off and on as I am catching EVERYTHING our little one brings home (Rob has avoided all of the illnesses but one or two), and well trying to keep up everything with a 6 month old can lead to general chaos occassionally. Anyway, you're not interested in all of that, many of you want to know about Kylie!

Kylie is doing great. As many of you are aware she is now just over 6 months old and is rolling all over the place! She is having a blast rolling and scooting all over our floor to get toys. She's even more interested in getting to paper items she can shred. She has also become very interested in toes lately! She's passing up her toys to go after the nearest persons toes! Not sure what the fascination is there....

She started first foods awhile ago and loves them. The only one we haven't fed her is prunes - (I won't do that to her!) LOL. While she enjoys all of them sweet potatoes are her favorite. She has also enjoyed tastes of lemon, general tso's, szchewan (sp?), mashed potatoes, ice cream (FYI - never feed an infant too much it just ain't fun), and just about any sauce we are eating that's not too spicy. She also got a taste of chocolate and well folks, she's a girl, so she's like the rest of us and went crazy over the chocolate. She also got some cheerios this week and is learning how to use a sippy cup now. Once we run out of the first foods we have she'll be starting on 2nd foods! New tastes for her - yay!

She is also up on all fours now and trying to crawl. She can get up on all fours and take two steps, then she launches herself when trying that third step towards crawling. She's almost there so anyday now....yep, we're already trying to find a baby gate. She's also doing a good job sitting up on her own though doesn't choose to do so often. She is often frustrated as she doesn't want to do anything but stand up and walk. She's a little early for that walkin' stuff and sometimes it makes her really mad she can't walk and go play with the other kids!

We also have learned that she's taken a shine to Dylan in her classroom. LOL. Messin' with the boys already! Apparently they talk often and I guess they were both on the floor and Kylie just started crawling all over him until her daycare provider Vonda was able to go pick her up. Vonda said she thought Kylie could take him!

The other fun thing we did is thanks to the power outage here I was off work, so I spent one of my days off at the zoo with Kylie. Grandma Potts and I went to the zoo taking Kylie for the first time. We had a lot of fun taking her around and letting her look at all of the animals! But buddy, when we hit the aquarium, Kylie LOVED it! So much so I'm seriously considering a fish tank for her for Christmas. She just loved watching the bright colored fishies swimming around!

The only minor blip we've had was Kylie had an ear infection that wouldn't go away. While it's gone now, it took three rounds of antibiotics to get rid of it and while she was on the last round she also got the stomach flu and well, mom joined the club because I had it this week. She's got to quit catching stuff from daycare!

So overall things are great. We're having a blast with her and she's so curious and learning so much everyday!

And now.....the moment you've all been waiting for.....here are some recent pics!

"Pull over or speed up!" Road rage starts early!



Yep, this was at 4 months so imagine what she's doing now! We told you she likes to stand up!

Well guys, that's it for now. I will try to update more regularly but no promises! I'll also be sending out hard copies of her 3 and 6 month pictures by month end, so look for those in the mail! Until next time!
