Kylie & Addie's playdate

Alaina & her mom were watching Addie this afternoon so we took Kylie over for a visit! How cute! Kylie taught Addie how to chew, lick & bite on plastic cups! Then she read her a book. They were rolling all over the place and taking each others toys! They are growing up SO fast.






Kylie's 6 month birthday is tomorrow. I absolutely cannot believe it.

Busy Kylie Bug

She always wants to go. She's become so much more active lately. She dives towards toys or Mommy & Daddy. She pushes away when you're holding her. She's just busy, busy all the time.

We haven't found a food she won't eat. Let me see if I can list what she's had since we started solids at the beginning of 2009. Of course, rice cereal & oatmeal. Then avocado, sweet potatoes, sweet peas, green beans, pears, banana, butternut squash. All this has been homemade! Next will be apples. Then maybe zucchini, peach & apricots.

She loves balls and gets very mad at Kindermusik when we have to put them away.

She is very social. She's much happier during the day if we get out of the house some. She loves to look around the stores & flirt/smile at people. I see many embarrassing situations in my future when she learns to talk to these strangers.

She thought she'd try to get herself out of the bouncy last week! So now we have to buckle her in.

Breakfast begins!

Kylie had her first breakfast today. I mixed steamed pears with oatmeal and a little breast milk. She LOVED it and screamed when it was gone. So, I guess I'll do a little more tomorrow! I was really surprised because she nursed for a while this morning and I really thought the oatmeal would be wasted.

She kissed me!

I can usually talk her into giving me a few kisses a day but I have to put my cheek up to her mouth. Just now, I was burping her & she pushed away from my shoulder with her hands, put one hand on my cheek & leaned in & kissed the other one! She did it a few times. It was the most precious thing ever!

Sleep Training - Good For the Whole Family

We started "sleep training" Kylie on Jan. 23rd. We followed the book Sleep Easy Solution. It's been wonderful! She will usually sleep on her own from 8p-7a. She's a super noisy sleeper so she wakes me up 2-3 times a night but it's great to roll over & go back to sleep!

I'm so glad we decided to do it. We actually have some order back to our lives now. There were lots of tears shed but it was so much less than her screaming at us when it was nap time or bed time.

It hasn't even been that long but I already look back & can't believe I was getting up almost every hour with her.
