Belly Laugh

After her bath, Kylie likes to laugh with Brian

10 Months Old

Yesterday, Kylie turned 10 months old! This month she has learned to express herself more, stand up and walk while holding on to you or a toy, try new kinds of food and just all around be happy. We took her to the post office to weigh her again but never could get the scale to work as Kylie moved around too much!

In the last few weeks Kylie has transitioned in her class from the baby side of the room to the bigger baby side. She has to sit and eat with others in a circle of small highchairs, have group activities and learn to share and be NICE. She does pretty good with most of it.

This weekend was another fun filled Lum weekend. On Saturday we went to see Marc (Kylie's favorite boy in her class) and his family for a little BBQ. She had a blast. Sunday was rest and relaxation and of course Target.

Please enjoy some pictures from this weekend. I think you will see in them that Kylie had a fun filled weekend!

Gaby, Marc and Kylie. Gaby got all dressed up for our visit. Marc wore his Suit Shirt and Kylie a Summer Dress. (Looks like Burt or Ernie made it into the shot too!)

Kylie trying to show Marc how to crawl. Those blue eyes are amazing!

Kylie was playing with this toy but Marc took it away. I think Kylie was trying to push Marc over or think of how to get the toy back.

So cute!! They posed like this all by themselves.
Doesn't she looked relaxed? But better yet was anyone else in Target with us?
Where are the customers??

Water Play and a Fun Bus, Oh What a Friday

What a fun Friday for Kylie!! Her school had so many activities today that she is fast asleep tonight. This morning was Water Play Day and then this afternoon the Fun Bus came. What a great concept a bus full of fun things inside. She had a blast. I am grateful everyday that I can go downstairs and see her enjoying the fun activities and participate with her. Makes the 2 hour drive a day worth it! Next week the Circus comes to Little Cruises. Enjoy Kylie's pictures of her day. She sure did have fun! Bonus Video at the end of this post.. Kylie's latest first!

Congratulations Kelly and Marty

Kylie has a new friend, Brianne Elizabeth that was born almost a week ago. I know many of you have heard me talk about my friend Kelly that works with me at Royal Caribbean. I wanted to share her blog so you can see the beautiful pictures of her little one. Enjoy!

Congrats Kelly and Marty she is beautiful!

Keeping Up With the Kiars Blog

Summer Sunday

Today has been a fantastic Sunday, filled with family fun! We started off the morning by watching the hot balloon glide through the sky. Then the real fun began as we made banana pancakes for Kylie to eat. Needless to say she isn't the biggest fan of them but happily ate some, fed some to Mac and let Brian have the rest! She has even started to insist she feed herself the bottle (which usually she throws on the floor in the middle of drinking!)

We also went shopping, did some household chores and had an amazing Sunday. If only we could win the lottery and do this everyday we would be thrilled. (Note: If we win the lottery can someone else do the laundry??)

Kylie Meets the Dentist

Brian and I both had Dentist appointments today at the same time. As we worried about what to do with Kylie we figured take her and she can entertain everyone. Which of course she did. She also showed off her new teeth to the dentist. Kylie got the lecture about not flossing enough and was taught a better brushing technique. She was amazed by all the noises at the dentist (even if Mommy and Daddy weren't enjoying it!)

Kylie and Marc

Kylie and her friend Marc at school. Marc is a month and a half younger then Kylie and like her secret service agent he watches out for her. He didn't want to smile for the camera as he thought it might ruin his undercover image.

Daddy and I

Yesterday Tricia was in Philly for work, so it was Daddy Daycare time. Kylie woke up with a smile as usual and we decided that we were going to look smart with our Evergreen Investments shirt on and then head on over to the library. Of course we had to play with the toys there. But I must admit, I was able to at least read one book to her and it had do with sports. Kylie again loved to be observant and watched all the other kids running around. Besides going to the library, we were able to spend some time at Target, and then even do some drive-thru Taco Bell. No, tacos yet for Kylie!

The Morning Smile!

Kylie was intrigued with this toy, so many colors that could move all around

After returning from our outing, I put her down for a nap. But I soon noticed that I could not see her laying down in the baby monitor. When I got to her room, she was asleep standing up. What a day!

Petting Zoo comes to Little Cruisers

Kylie was very excited about all the little animals that came to school today. I think her personal favorite was the little pig.. She laughed at it! Despite the animals, I think she was happiest in the big stroller that fits four kids. She was talking and singing with and to the other kids.

Volleyball Star in Training

I am sure Brian went to work grinning from ear to ear seeing Kylie in her volleyball shirt and her brand new Nike shoes. She is working on her volleyball moves and is getting better at the block. Although she blocks you from feeding her Brian thinks she has good potential. Hugo.. you better come over and teach her some other moves..

Have a great Thursday everyone!!!

4th of July

We had an amazing 4th of July (Kylie's first) up in Atlanta. We did as many things as humanly possible in a short weekend and enjoyed spending time with my Mom and Dad and my brother Lenny. This is the first time that Lenny has seen Kylie so it was a lot of fun. We spent time on the lake, all taking turns at waterskiing (Lenny if your reading this just remember your sister could get up on skis and you took awhile), tubing or just relaxing, days at the pool, fishing, shopping and playing. So much fun! Kylie had a blast and was her usual happy self on the plane to and from Atlanta. If only she could figure out where those announcements were coming from! She didn't get to experience fireworks as she was asleep early, however they were shooting them off in my parents cul-de-sac which basically was 50 feet from her bedroom window. Hope you had a AMAZING 4th too!
