Busy, busy, busy!

Kylie and I headed up to Cincy last week for a few days. Kylie swam in the "big" pool for the first time at her Aunt Jaime and Uncle Nick's neighborhood pool. She was a little unsure at first but by the end seemed to enjoy herself. She got to spend some good quality time with both her Aunts and of course grandma and grandpa. She become grandma's girl very quickly! I forgot to snap pictures again so I don't have many to show but Kylie was very busy the whole trip! We arrived back in Lexington on Saturday evening where she was very happy to see her Daddy again. We ended the week by going to Jeff's brother's to visit Kylie's new cousin, Ellie. What a fun and busy week!

Happy Father's Day!

Jeff enjoyed his first Father Day yesterday. We went to church and then just played around the house the rest of the day. Jeff had his wisdom teeth pulled on Friday so taking it easy was a perfect plan for the weekend. Kylie enjoyed playing in her pool and her daddy introduced her to the fun of squirt guns. She loved him squirting her! She's a lucky girl to have such a good daddy! Happy Father's Day to my Dad too. I have been blessed with wonderful men in my life....two grandpas, an amazing dad and a fantastic husband.

Playing with Nate

My friend Kristin and her little boy Nate stopped over last week for a quick visit. Nate built some block towers and Kylie got to knock them down! Thanks Nate for playing with Kylie. Come back anytime and visit!

Kylie has a new cousin!

We welcomed Ellie Katherine Marcum into the world on 6/13/09 at 10:28 PM. Joey and Baby are both doing well. She weighed in at 7 lbs, 15 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. A healthy little girl! What fun the girls will have in the future together!
Kylie has been staying busy crawling all over the house and pulling up on anything she find! Her latest thing this week is holding onto one or two toys and crawling with them. She also loves to put things in her bucket or Bumbo chair! Her activity table keeps her busy and she feels so "big" standing up to play. What fun we are having watching her play!

Happy 8 months!

I seriously cannot believe our baby girl is 8 months old. She seems to be doing something new everyday which makes it very exciting for me to be home with her this summer. Just a quick update: She is crawling all over, pulling herself up on anything she can find and has started to figure out she can "cruise" down the couch or around her activity table. She is interested in EVERYTHING! No teeth yet, but I think she is close to cutting one. She loves to jaber and I think she likes to hear herself talk as much as I enjoy listening to it! We are ready for summer playdates, trips to the pool and visits to see family.

FYI- the bottom picture is Jeff putting together her activity table and of course she has to oversee the project.

Our little monkey

We had a very full weekend in Cincy this past weekend and I guess we were so busy that I forgot to take pictures! We celebrated Kylie's great grandpa's 88th birthday! She got to visit with lots of family. She loved playing with her aunts and uncles and grandparents. Our baby girl is quickly turning into our little monkey. She crawls anywhere and everywhere and has also figured out how to pull herself up. Jeff snapped some pictures of her getting into her toy baskets and pulling her toys out all by herslef. She was proud of herself! Life is becoming busier by the day! Check out our little monkey.
