Dinner Meeting
I thought it was about time I took Kylie out to show her what Mommy does for a living. Well eating and drinking really isn't what I do but it usually involves that. One of my accounts and friend Kevin is in town and Brian, Kylie and I went to dinner with him. Kylie enjoyed sitting on the patio of the restaurant right on the intercoastal and watching the boats and yachts drive by. She never made a peep but was a tough negotiator and I think she closed the deal :) Made Mommy and Daddy very proud.

Bonus Shot: Kylie ready to go to FSU! Just need to teach her to drink out of the sippy cup not spit it all over her shirt!

8 Months Already???
Every month we start off with where has the time flown and it seems like only yesterday.. It really is baffling to sit down every month and see how much this little baby has turned into a little girl.
This month is no exception. Within the last month Kylie has mastered the skill of the military crawl, you know the one where you only use your arms to take you around the room. No traditional crawling yet but in the Lum house nothing is traditional. Kylie is getting better at sitting up on her own, feeding herself the bottle, drinking out of a cup and starting to eat finger foods. Her personality is truly coming out as she knows when she wants something and will let you know that she wants it. She also is starting to put her arms out as a indication to pick her up. Leaving her at daycare has been more challenging as she is starting to notice when your not there and cries. This month Kylie has fallen in love with Mac (our dog) she wants him near her at all times and cries out for him to come near her.
We are so blessed to have such a wonderful girl to call our own and can't wait to see what tomorrow and the next day may bring. Perhaps she will get her first tooth, learn to walk or say mama (okay or dada!)

Here is a video of her and the military crawl!
We are always looking for new and interesting places to weigh Kylie as a trip to the doctor is not always necessary. This month we chose to weigh her at Publix, our local supermarket. She weighed in around 15 pounds. Anyone have suggestions for the next weigh in??
Day at IKEA
We have an IKEA a mere 20 minutes from our house and we have never gone to it. Now, I know why. You can spend the entire day in that store. We really enjoyed going there and got some great things. We are all about staying organized. Kylie saw a lot of cool things she wants when she gets older from easels, to a table and chairs. Very cute. Here are some pictures of our journey!

Sunday morning snacking
Here are two short videos of our morning today. Kylie hasn't mastered drinking from a cup yet she would rather try to eat it.
Also, here she is eating a banana. She loves to feel like a big girl now.
We are taking her to IKEA this morning I hope she remembers she has a spending limit. Have a great Sunday

Then and Now
All Moms know the drill, the day you organize the drawers and put in the box the clothes that don't fit anymore and bring out the new ones. Today was such the case. We came across the below shirt that Kylie modeled on the second day of her life. Now 7 and 3/4 month later it fits!!
I have to admit this brings a tear to my eye, my baby girl is growing up so fast! Soon she will be asking for my car keys!

Kylie's First Cruise
Kylie with passport in hand embarked upon the Enchantment of the Seas for a 4 Night Vacation. This was her third trip in a row (first Orlando, Boston and now a cruise). We had a spectacular time onboard and even got to cruise with Kylie's Godfather Hugo and his future fiancee Jess. Hugo and Jess where onboard in conjunction with the Paul and Young Ron Morning Radio Show on Big 105.9 so we were able to attend some of the radio functions. We also had a great fun time with the Lighter Family - (Nance, Jay and Jake). Kylie enjoyed hanging out with Nance and always seemed to be covered in lipstick!
The first day we sailed at 5pm. Here are some pictures of Kylie at Muster Drill making sure she knew how to wear her life vest. We also attended the taping of the Paul and Young Ron morning show.
The second day we arrived in beautiful Nassau, Bahamas. The water was incredibly clear. We had the amazing opportunity to spend the day at two private cabanas at the Cove at Atlantis with the Paul and Young Ron crew plus Jess, Hugo and Jess' family. Click the word Cove to see a picture of the cabanas. We also spent the day touring the property. What an amazing day.
The third day was at sea and we spent a lot of time exploring out different opportunities that the ship had to offer.
How could she not like the soft serve Ice cream???
The fourth day was in Key West and we navigated through all the streets and did some sightseeing.
All in all it was an incredible vacation. Kylie once again proved she is an amazing traveler and even managed to stay happy 99% of the time. She just couldn't stop taking in all there was to see. Her favorite thing was to turn herself around on the bed and look out the window to see the ocean! What an amazing vacation and a perfect first mothers day.
Next time, we think we need to bring a nana or an au pair or someone along to help out. Any takers??

To Boston
Kylie and I flew to Boston for the weekend, to celebrate Zoe's 2nd Birthday (Check out Zoe's Blog to see all the activities)! We had so much fun with Zoe's family. So many fun things jammed into a few days. Kylie was great on the plane ride and enjoyed being around so many new people. She isn't a fan of announcements though! Here are some pictures of Kylie throughout the weekend. Brian and Mac stayed home :)
