Happy 7 Months - Orlando or Bust

Kylie turned 7 months old on Saturday, weighing in on the home scale at aprox 15 1/2 pounds. Her new nickname is wiggle worm as all she does is wiggle her way out of everything! She is always happy and playing and just smiling. Here is our big girl on the slide! (Not sure what is happening with her hair!)
This weekend was Brian's last volleyball tournament for the season and Kylie and I went with him to Orlando to be there for support. He has a great team with a lot of fun parents and we had a great time. We also went to a Pie Festival, a park, the pool and Downtown Disney. Please enjoy the shots from our weekend. We hope yours was just as fun!

The all American Pie Festival.. All you can eat pie for $10. Now we are talking. Here is Kylie as a Cherry Pie and William and Isabella after they decorated pies!

Hotel Pool and her new raft! Plus Mom and Kylie relaxing together.

Quack Quack

Kylie sitting in the lazy boy chair on her own and entertaining herself with her special Easter duck, thanks to the Strachan's we get to hear it over and over and over and over again :) Check out the video below so you can hear the duck QUACK

Teething Bites

Kylie puts anything in her mouth and chews on it as well as drools all over the place. We know she is trying to work to get her little teeth out. For Easter, everyone focused on teething items, which were hugely welcomed. She loves cold rags, teething rings, beeds etc. Tonight we tried from her Gung Gung and Po Po, Organic Teething Biscuits. Did she like them?? You be the judge...

Easter Weekend

Kylie, Brian and I had a wonderful Easter weekend with my parents in town. We also had Billy, Wendy, William and Isabella over for a Easter Egg Hunt and Dinner. Fun was had by all all weekend and I am not sure who is more tired. Kylie zonked out early and Brian and I are trying to keep our eyes open. We had a blast with my parents and sad to see them go.

Coloring Easter Eggs with Grandpa

Easter Morning - She found all the Eggs

Not happy about the pink shoes and cup from the Easter Bunny - Atlanta. She wanted the tags and plastic off first!

She knows how to rip the paper off her gifts!!

The Three Of Us

Grandpa and Grandma saying Goodnight before they leave

Grandpa and Grandma Come to Visit

Kylie is so excited that her Grandpa and Grandma are here for a visit. She hasn't seen her Grandpa since January. She is thrilled he recovered so well from his surgery and cancer and therefore spent the entire day with him. They were two peas in a pod!

Getting ready for a walk. Kylie loves her Lulu the Lamb!

Bedtime Story - She couldn't stay awake to hear the end. Maybe tonight

Sitting Up and Playing

Beautiful South Florida Day

Today, was the best day ever. I love being a Mom! We did so much with our friend Wendy and her two kids William and Isabella. I am exhausted as we spent the entire day out of the house, I was sad to come home!

We went to a Easter Egg Hunt (No one got any eggs!)

We had lunch at McDonald's and played on the playground!

We went in the Strachan Pool. (Note: William, Isabella and I went in the pool! Wendy was MORE than happy to take care of Kylie on the steps.
The water was a little chilly!)

Kylie had her first movie time / slumber party. William was a little upset as he couldn't hear the TV as Kylie was talking too loud.

I can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring.
Except I know chores, food shopping and perhaps a little fun :)

Big Girl Friday

Today was all about Kylie wanting to be a big girl and not a baby.

First she got ready for school and decked out in her Friday Jeans and shoes.

After a long day at school, the teacher showed me a picture of her holding hands with a boy (Oh no!), she came home to find this box by the front door from Po Po and Gung Gung. We peaked inside and saw it was for Easter and put it aside till next week.

Then Kylie ate bananas through this awesome food feeder, I froze the banana in the mesh container and it worked like a chewing device numbing her gums while getting nutrition.


Lastly, Kylie decided she wanted to hold the spoon and feed herself Oatmeal. Here is how that turned out. Notice that most of it is on her bib!

Have a fantastic weekend!
