K's 1st Cardinals Game...

....and believe it or not it was a winner!! Seems like they aren't doing so well lately. In fact John and I gave up on them long before this game. Oh well...there is always next year. Plus it is time for FOOTBALL!!

Getting ready for the game and wearing Daddy's hat!

In our seats waiting for the 1st pitch.

I can't believe how well she did at the game. I was prepared for her to be really fidgety and want to get down and crawl around, but she really didn't. She sat/stood on my lap and just watched everyone around. There was a man sitting behind us with no teeth that she found pretty amusing. He would smile and she would just laugh at him. He thought she was so cute so I guess it was ok. We had a great time and will be taking her to more games next season!

Grant's Farm w/ Mimi & Grandaddy

It is hard to believe that this was almost a month ago, but hey you should be glad that you are getting something more than Kelsey's monthly growth post. :)

My parents came to visit the end of August. We were so happy to have them here for a couple of days. We did not waste anytime and got to do quite a bit. On Sunday while they were here we decided to take Kelsey to Grant's Farm for the first time. I think we all enjoyed being outside and seeing all the animals. She also had her first carousel ride (picture below).

Thanks Mimi and Grandaddy for coming to see us. We love you guys!!

4 Teeth!!!

It is a lot harder to get pictures of new teeth than one would think. We see them all the time when she smiles, but she doesn't want to smile for the camera anymore. So finally we go some shots. Kelsey now has FOUR teeth and has continued to be a great baby while teething.

There are now two on the bottom.

9 months

I feel like Kelsey's monthly posts are just about the only ones I do now (wait they are!). She is growing so fast (well age wise anyway...she is still our petite little girl). You are doing something new every day baby girl. Mommy and Daddy are already so very proud of you and everyday just makes us more excited to see what you are going to accomplish in your life. God has great plans for you!!

So excited b/c you got the paper! I love your expressions!!

Standing in your crib...you don't like to sit still anymore. :-)

I told you I was going to get it, Mom.

What you have been up to this month:
- You are still a very happy baby girl and are so good! We are very blessed.
- You are a great sleeper...even though sometimes (esp on the weekends) you don't like to take your morning nap. You like being in all the action with people are around.
- You are wearing size 2-3 diapers.
- You weigh 16lbs 15oz (16% - little girl) and are 27.5 inches (45%) long.
- You are eating all kinds of baby food and really like your puffs. We have given you a few table items, but not much yet.
- You have TWO teeth and just got those right before your 9 mo. bday.
- We have had your first trip to the ER. It was very scary for Mommy and Dada but we managed and you are doing great. You would never even know you were hurt if we didn't have to clean your burns.
- You can clap your hands all by your self (when we say yay! you clap) and know how to shake your booty (we say shake shake and you do it!). SO CUTE!!!
- You are a really good crawler and go all over the house. You notice new things everyday. You like to explore, but don't really get into too much that you shouldn't...just yet.
- You say mama and dada all the time, but you don't know what they really mean.
- You still LOVE bath time and the pool and being outside.
- Sometimes we think that you are having a conversation with yourself, toy or whatever you see. We are always commenting on how we wish we knew what you were saying/thinking.
- You can still wear some of your 3-6 month clothes but are mostly in 6-9 months. I can't believe that you are so little! :-)

HAPPY 9 MONTHS BABY GIRL!!
We love you VERY much!!

A look back...

I was curious to see just how much she had changed from month to month. Well...here is the proof. I can't believe it! I really can't believe that she is already growing into such a beautiful, wonderful and great little girl.

8 months

This update is over 2 weeks late! I don't even remember what happened before the 8 month mark and between then and now. Kelsey is changing daily and it is so much fun. She is into everything, but it is great being able to see her discover new things. We love her a little bit more every day. Now I just look at her and think about how much she has grown in just these 8 months!

This is as good as it gets now.

Better. I love her little smirk.

Our favorite girl!

One more

At 8 months you:
- are taking 2 naps...about 1 hour in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.
- are just as happy and laid back as you have always been.
- weigh probably right around 16 lbs.
- sleep around 11 hours at night....such a good sleeper.
- have begun to eat the level 2 foods and still like just about everything (but bananas)
- are so close to crawling (and actually did just a couple days after you turned 8 months). You get up on your knees and rock.
- get so excited when mommy comes to pick you up at daycare. It is one of my favorite things!
- are beginning to laugh at mommy some instead of just daddy.
- love bath time and the pool...and water in general.
- have started drinking out of your sippy cup. You still don't get it completely but you are able to get some juice/water.
- are eating some finger foods/snacks. You really like yogurt melts.
- hate having your face cleaned or nose wiped.
We love you so much little girl and are so excited to see what God has in store for your life!

Matthew & Jennifer's Rehearsal

July 2nd was the "practice" for the wedding. We had such a fun time and it went pretty quickly. :-) There are tons of good photos from the night so I am going to share them all. Just kidding that would take a while. Here are several of the favorites though!
